Keir Dullea as Red Spaceman

[Ultramanimator]

BTW, does Flash come with a cape?

Yep, it's listed as an accessory on Go Hero's site.

 

[Cryoguns]

Well, I think what we've got so far looks good, and this really is good news for all the guys who got screwed by Twinch Squad. Depending on price, I might grab one.

 

[yodasan]

Independent of price, I will get Bowman if it is released.

This is the best news of 2009 - my favoriite movie of all time getting the royal treatment.

 

[kl241]

I want old man Bowman in bed with a 1/6 monolith! - "MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS"

"MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS"

Oh no! It's a 2010: The year we make contact quote!:emperor

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

David Bowman and POD... hopefully they'll come. After the Nostromians (we still need Ripley in the white Moebius suit!!!), my fav astronaut.

 

[Batty]

It's very cool that the pod lights up.

It's very cool that the pod light up.

WOW! Bowman and the pod are MUST-HAVES for me. I almost got burned by the Twinch Squad fiasco back in the day, so I'm stoked to see this. And the pod looks AMAZING! I hope they do the other suits as well. Outside of A L I E N, the 2001 spacesuits are my favorite spacesuits on film...and now that HT has started the line of A L I E N Nostromo spacesuit figures, 2001 is what I want most next. FANTASTIC news!

 

[KBA]

Not too shabby a likeness!

 

[galactiboy]

The bottom of the card looks like its says "Authorized and Approved by Keir Dullea"

So maybe they are able to get around Kubrick and go with the actors instead?

Righ! That head sculpt is one of the best I've seen in a long long time!

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to having some GoHero stuff on my shelfs, be it Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, or the 2001 Bowman! Let it hapen!

 

[The Chaver]

HOLY ^^^^E! TOO COOL! I just crapped myself.

Same here man!! This big is ^^^^ing news for sure..:chew

Yeah, no mention of Dave Bowman or 2001. Is it that easy to get around the licensing?

 

[Darklord Dave]

Just compared with some photos and I am as good as sure the figure is wearing the suit from Twich Squad.

If they are planning to release this figure, I wonder why using the outfit of another manufacturer (who even doesn't have a good name among collectors)

Seriously I hope they are selling him, but I doubt they will.

Fingers crossed for this one

Well aren't you a negative nelly. As someone who got burned by Twinch, I hope you're completely wrong - I'd hate to see Jose get any money, credit or accolades.

 

[Ironman1188]

To the best of my knowledge there is NO affiliation with Twinch Squad and new suits are to be used for Bowman.

 

[ONEYE]

So cool, impressive, a must have in my collection!

Sorry to hear you got burned by Jose Dave. I 'almost' did...but didn't have the funds at the time, and then the whole thing unravelled. All because I was saving to order the silver, red and yellow suits at the same time. If I'd just ordered one suit, I would have got burned for sure.

Still, this Go Hero one will be a welcome addition to my collection for sure!
:chew

 

[wookster]

This is freakin great news, at last!
I saw the Twinch ones in Forbidden Planet London years ago (was it in about 2001?), they had em all, white, yellow, red and silver, but passed I as I thougt they were too spenny, I've kicked myself ever since!
But now, oh yeah, it shall be mine!!!

So is it a Twinch squad suit pictured or not?
If it is theyre in a very "gray" area ethically speaking.
