While at Wizard World Chicago James made an astounding discovery, a company called Go Hero. I was drawn to the table by the beautiful 1/6^th scale figures of Sinbad, Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. These very poseable figures came complete with authentic retro styled outfits and nifty accessories that made me drool just to look at them. (see the photos in the Wizard World pics for Saturday).
