Its bizarre, isn't it? Three shots of the figure, all of the front. No side, no rear which in the Rocketeer's case is unforgivable 'cause the jet pack is the most important feature. It just makes no sense.
Really wish we could get an image of the rocket for the rocketeer.
I agree it seems like a hard sell compared to other lines.
They look great, But expecting me to pay $26.00 for a 5" figure that has barely any articulation, versus a 6" figure at the same price with extreme articulation and accessories, is just not happening. Even the 6" figures aren't worth it so these just can't be.
Oh and if the Rocketeer is gonna be shown they need to at least let us see that jetpack....
These are very tempting but Im just not sure if I should add another toyline to collect to my long list of active lines.
