Longbox Heroes - The Rocketeer Figure by Fresh Monkey Fiction Exclusive Reveal
Wow. This is the first retro looking figure that actually looks like it’s from the 90s. Must buy
I saw the Tick on Instagram and these are pretty awesome. Looks like it will be fun.
Looks Old, Old School...
I like....
What better Fig then...
"Rocketeer"!!!;^)
Wow, these guys already did Captain Canuck! And Nexus!
I must not have been paying attention! Look at all the stuff they've released already
Looks like they are using the comic book rocket pack as well. So much better than the movie one.
Holy frijole, Fall '23 release? This looks awesome so far (it'd be nice if they did real protos, just a resin print or something) but that release date is... oof. I move a lot and pre-orders are always a pain for someone who does that. Dammmmmmit. :/
Not bad, I might pick a few of these up.
