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 x 8 x 5.50" in dimension and will ship in a carton which measures 18 x 10 x 8" in size. The Rocketeer will be wrapped in bubble wrap and the remainder of the carton interior will be filled with standard loose fill styrofoam peanuts.
