Pre-order Go Hero, Executive Replicas and Phicen Ltd 1/6 scale Rocketman 12" figure

Radar Men from the Moon is Republic Pictures' first Commando Cody 12-chapter movie serial, filmed in 1952, and starring newcomer George Wallace as Cody, Aline Towne as his sidekick Joan Gilbert, and serial veteran Roy Barcroft as the evil Retik, the Ruler of the Moon. The odd naming choice of the serial's main hero, "Commando Cody," was possibly an attempt by Republic to make young audiences think they were seeing another adventure of Commander Corry, the hero of the popular ABC TV and radio series Space Patrol (1950–1955).

This serial recycles the rocket-powered flying suit from Republic's earlier 1949 serial King of the Rocket Men. The main character, Commando Cody, has a rocket-powered flying suit and a rocketship capable of reaching the Moon. When the U. S. finds itself under attack from a mysterious force that can wipe out entire military bases and industrial complexes, Cody surmises (correctly) that the Earth is under attack from its own Moon. He then flies his rocket there and confronts the Moon's dictator, Retik, who boldly announces his plans to both conquer Earth and then move the Moon's entire population here using spaceships.


This first ever 1:6 scale figure of the Rocketman, with the likeness of actor George Wallace, captures the retro-futuristic flying action that continues to influence countless entertainment properties from Star Trek to Star Wars to Dave Stevens’ The Rocketeer. Go Hero, Executive Replicas, and Phicen Ltd is proud to present, for the first ever as a 1:6 scale figure collectible, George Wallace as the Rocketman!
