DST Select Rocketeer Figure 027

The new Disney Select line of figures from Diamond Select Toys features characters from two memorable Disney films. Series 1 includes figures from The Black Hole (gallery coming soon) and The Rocketeer. Today, I’m taking a look at The Rocketeer 7″ Scale Figure. The movie was released in 1991, and follows stunt pilot Cliff Secord in 1938 Los Angles. Cliff stumbles onto a prototype jet pack, and uses it to become a masked hero, attracting the attention of Howard Hughes, the FBI, and Nazi’s, who are all after the jet pack.

Our friends at Diamond Select Toys provided the figure for review. The Rocketeer includes a masked and an unmasked portrait, swap out chest pieces, multiple interchangeable hands, jet pack effects pieces, and blueprints for the jet pack. The figure is in stores now and sells for about $28. Check out my thoughts on the figure and my photo gallery after the jump.
