SUPERBEAKER?!
There
hasn't been a Hoverboy figure made since the one for the HOVERBOY/METAL
GUY ACTION HOUR in the late 1970's,
so I guess this Comicon Exclusive Muppets
figure by Palisades is as close as you're going to get.
The
figure looks to be inspired by not only Hoverboy, but The Rocketeer
as well- which was inspired by Republic Serial's KING OF THE ROCKETMEN, which was a character created when Republic couldn't come to an agreement to option Hoverboy in the early 1940's.
The
bucket looks like the post-War era Hoverboy, with the speaker on
the front. But it also has the handle, which didn't start showing
up in the comics until the mid 1950's.
