Check out castaways new lineup: Captain Nemo, Porthos, Athos and Aramis. Created from factory made parts with hand made details. The figures will be shipped loose, they don't include any packaging.These figures are a nod back to classic mego figures. These figures were almost done when we announced our castaway club, but don't worry club members you'll be getting an email in a week or so about some new figures we have coming out. You'll get first crack at them. You monster fans will love them. Please allow 2 weeks for shipment because these are assembled and detailed in the USA.
Captian Nemo, one of the most famous heroes in fiction! The mysterious scientific genius who roams the depths of the sea in his submarine, the Nautilus, comes complete with recovered Atlantian Trident and Conchs straight from the sea floor... don't miss out on Jules Verne's most famous character of all!

It's $20 each figure, you gotta go over and pull the drop menu down to pick which figure you want. It is $60 for all three.

3 for $20! Yea that'd be a GREAT price! I'd buy all I could get...:rotfl:
Even at $20 the parts retail for well over that price anyway, so it's still a dang good deal and no work involved:terror: We thought they were neat figures and very MEGO in tradition, it's kinda our nod back to MEGO...
But Jason's got something coming real soon for the monster fans that's off the chain So be ready....

Looks like $20.00 each to me... No way Cast-A-Way can afford to sell three figures for $20.00, the bodies alone cost $24.00 retail without heads, costumes and accessories.

I like the boots and hats. Three Muskateers are some of my favorite literary heroes, I knew that someone would produce these guys some day and have been looking forward to it. To have Castaway toys produce these guys is a dream come true. But I think you truly under achieved with these three. Its really your own fault. You set the bar high with your other figures. Its hard to see the cheap looking frocks/ capes, and the re used mego heads. It looks like something CTV toys would have put out.
Thank you for all you have done. My opinion is obviously just one opinion, but I wouldn't be fair to you to blow smoke up your *****. Keep up the good work on the other figures. PLease don't go backwards again.

Nice figures!!! However, can someone tell me what does "All for one (+40)" mean. Is it that you can get the three for $40 as a special or am i reading this wrong?

Ya know my Papa Lee used to say " Opinions are like Butt-holes, everyone has one and everyone else's stinks". It's true too, nobody thinks their own opinion stinks, heck it wouldn't be their opinion if they did. So, before anyone defends us or jumps in to add a like opinion, just remember expressing opinions is tricky and that we don't want anyone to be offended as we are surely not by the post.
I offer only this in response: we have to pay bills every month, we know that we won't always hit home runs, and that you guys as customers might not like/buy everything we make. This doesn't keep us from having commitments to meet and bills to pay. So for those who like and have supported! thanks! Those who may not care for them, hopefully we'll make something closer to your liking soon.

Amazing it's the long lost uncle jesse head....LOL
Those figs look pretty sweet.
Nice work guys, just a little curious about the details...
Are these CTVT parts (heads, swords, AJ hats, Devil tridents, etc) combined with Castaway parts (dyed clothes, boots, bodies, cap, etc), or are these all new factory parts? Any homemade items (outfits), etc? Just curious. If there are new factory parts here, and they are repro, are they marked?

Paul, it's a mixture of our stuff and CTVT's stuff, so what they marked is what they marked. This is why Jason asked if you wanted to wholesale some of your stock a while back.

I like them. I think the boots are prefect for these characters.
Thanks for the info David. Makes sense. Good use of existing parts.

Dave I respect the fact that you need to pay the bills. I'm even willing to buy some of the customs to ensure that we keep getting the amazing products you present us with. Thank you for not taking to heart my opinion. I knew when I posted it that it wouldn't be popular and totaly expected to be flamed when I returned to the boards.
Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see Zorro.

Hope you guys make some more 3 Musketeers. I missed out on them, too. But, I love Captain Action and can't wait for the Phantom.
Also, your bodies are top notch.I just received a Gorilla Grodd Custom from Ed Nagy and its great for many the ape-like poses a regular mego body just couldn't perform.

Does anyone have pics of Nemo and the Muskateers from Cast-a-way?

The thumbnails are still visible via a google search

Wow, I completely missed out on the Musketeers back then. Any chance that they are going to be re-released or a "build them yourself kit being offered The thumbnail is small, but as far I can see, the boots are the Castaway pirate boots, the pants look like they are from a CTVT Jean Lafitte pirate, not sure about the shirt and the hat?
Are the heads CTVT repaints?

I wasn't even aware of the Musketeers, and the links don't work now. Can anyone share an image or three?

Same here! That got right past me back then. Of course that was probably around the time the Phantom was coming out, so everything else got low priority over him.

As Steve mentioned, the thumbnails are on google image search, but unfortunately no pics themselves.

I'd definitely have gone for these--the Musketeers would have been an easy one for Mego in the old days too--just change the hair/beard color on King Arthur/Buffalo Bill, Robin Hood, and Ivanhoe, and you've got three of them; maybe play with Little John for Porthos and you could have the trio plus D'Artagnan. Well, if they ever offer them again, I'm interested.
Now, who do I talk to about a Cyrano figure?
