ZICA Toys Bringing Back Adventure People and REMCO Brand Names

[ZICA]

ZICA Toys is very excited to announce the official return of Adventure People! Launching via Kickstarter in January of 2016, the first assortment will consist of Captain Action, Captain Evil, Action Jackson, and Jet Jungle. Each figure will come with a total of 5 interchangeable hand sets which include closed fist, grip, and trigger finger. The grip and trigger finger sets come in two different wrist articulation types, one set has it on the X axis and one has it on the Y axis.

We're also excited to be bringing back the REMCO brand name with the launch of the Adventure People line. When the Kickstarter goes live we hope we can can count on your support to help add this double dose of retro goodness to your collection.

Very cool!! Great news.

Since Mattel owns Fisher Price, I'm surprised they abandoned the AP trade mark and doesn't Jakks Pacific still own Remco?

According to this, Jakks still owns Remco.

When I did a trademark search both marks had a listed status of "Dead", and Jakks was the last owner of the REMCO mark. I hired a copyright/trademark attorney to put both marks through the full trademark registration process, during which time my right to use them could have been disputed if there was an issue with one or the other. Nothing came back so my company now legally owns both marks.

Will your Adventure People have a permanently turned inward left arm?

No, but the ability to turn the left arm inward on the figures is an option.

Nice! Congrats!

[Nostalgiabuff]

that is awesome. Congrats and can't wait to see the final product

[Chris]

It's the Ant-Man version of Captain Action! It's his wildest adventure yet or at least shortest.

Great! Can't wait for the Kickstarter to go live.

[LordMudd]

Would like to know what Remco lines are planned. To me the best was Universal Monsters and Funko has those already.


CCC.

While this is not a scale I usually collect, I am really looking forward to the Kickstarter.
They really turned out great. I would even love to get 2 AJs to display with and without a beard.

Very cool. I LOVE that you grabbed the Remco name. Brilliant idea. I WILL be supporting this line. Job well done Craig!

Hi Craig,

Can't wait to hear more about your plans for this line. Not sure where you're taking the line exactly yet but would any of these be in the realm of possibility?
- Slade the Super Agent (I believe you mentioned this was considered)
- Automan (from the TV Series)
- Denys Fisher Cyborg Characters (these would cool visually)
- Monster Squad (TV Series) - this would give us some Remco Monster type figures plus they had a lot of fun villains (really need some more bad guys)
- Davey Crockett - how about a modern version of this character?

If you are going to include any super heroes I would love to see the following -
- Greatest American Hero
- Electra Woman & Dyna Girl
- Public Domain Super Heroes - any and all of them

Also would love to see you do Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica and all the Sid & Marty Krofft shows in this line.
