Product Synopsis
«©NCSX»
In 1991, a rocket-powered superhero, Jennifer
Connelly, and Nazi villains couldn't convince
prospective movie audiences to pay the cost of
admission. Positioned as a "summer blockbuster," the
Rocketeer raked in a mere $46,704,056 in total
receipts. That last $56 was hard fought.
Fast forward to 2003 and Medicom commemorated the 12-year
anniversary of the Rocketeer with a Real Action
Heroes run that was limited to 2000 pieces.
Collectors applauded, paid the dear cost of
collecting, and the figure eventually sold out,
never to be seen again. Or so we thought.
As the summer of 2006 rolls around, Medicom releases a second
production of the RAH Rocketeer. Although Medicom
lists this figure as 12" tall, the Rocket Man is
slightly shorter at a little over 11" tall from
brown boots to the top of his finned helmet. The
Rocketeer sports a studded brown leather jacket with
a flap which flips open to reveal a zipper. To
complete the ensemble, a silver colored rocket pack
is strapped to his back with copper-colored
thrusters at the bottom. The rocket pack is clamped
tight to the Rocketeer by way of two buckles and
straps. Rocketeer also wears a white shirt and his
trousers are held up by a black belt. In case you're
wondering, the brown jacket is adorned with epaulets
and the helmet includes a chin strap, just like the
original movie costume as worn by actor Billy
Campbell.
As with all RAH figures, the Rocketeer may be
posed in all manner of action stances and positions
including standing straight like a wooden board,
arms out as if exercising, or with both dukes up to
take on oncoming brawlers.
Packaging Detail
The Real Action Heroes Rocketeer v2.0 package measures 14 3/16
