Re: I open a toy & post it here
One of my favorite figures. I like the look and scale.

Agreed, I think is sufferes a bit with the inclusion of the 3rd mode, but as a homage to G! it does pretty well.

Funko- The Legacy Collection: The Rocketeer
In a world were all the current movies and TV shows are pre-existing properties, it is surprising to me that the Rocketeer has never been tapped for a reboot, sequel or even Netflix mini series. Truthfully it hits all the right beats: super hero themes, high flying iconic characters and even a Nazi punching lead character. It's like if Star Wars and Indiana Jones had a baby. That said, while I think there is potential here, It's probably best to keep it buried as the remakes never seam to capture the charm of the originals.
The figure itself comes with 2 heads (iconic helmet and helmet-less) as well as the his German lugar pistol. I had originally thought the jet pack to be removable, but it is actually permanently glued on. The articulation is typical for a figure this size, but it would have been cool if they could have allowed a better neck joint to look back while he is flying.
Overall is it certainly a unique addition to my collection and I love the fact a relatively obscure Character, from a older movie can still see some love in toy form.
As an added bonus I crafted a home stand from a clothes hanger and a base from flower foam.
Pros: Good likeness, decent overall articulation
Cons: Could have had better neck articulation, a stand would have been nice to achive flight look.

Cool figure!
Not to nitpick, but the pistol is actually a Mauser- still German though!

Doh! I actually gave myself a mental note to look that up before posting. Megatron was a lugar, right?

No, Megatron was a Walther P38. Luger looks like this:
