Captain Canuck Museum Early Bird

[palitoy]

I had to go to the Post Office A LOT this weekend, thanks to everyone for their support.

Got mine in today. LOVE IT!!! Thanks Brian, and to everyone involved!
My family is from Edmundston, New Brunswick, and as a kid, I vacationed there every summer. So I'm very familiar with Caption Canuck. A few of my MEGO's came from Woolworth while up there. I wish I still had those.

Any tips on the best way to open the package to keep it intact?

That you all, I'm absolutely still in awe of the outpouring of support and kind words for our labour of love in making Canuck. At the end of the day though, all Brian and I did was knock on doors in the neighbourhood here, asking our friends to come out and play with us. They did. We started a pick-up game, and were joined by the kids from the next street over, the Captain Canuck guys (who do it because they too, are fans). Now the whole neighbourhoods come outside to play, watch or cheer. You all are wonderful and you all are totally a part of this, banging the drum for us, buying figures, extra figures for friends/family, telling your friends about it and spreading the word. Thank you EVERYONE here.

It's been really emotional for me, in that hard to believe, overwhelming Field of Dreams kind of way.

or like a Beer Commercial...

Any tips on the best way to open the package to keep it intact?

Yes! Thanks for bringing this up, I've been meaning to post a "How To" with pics.

Doc Mego's 2.0 clamshell's are more flexible, resilient and easier to cut, which I really like, and I'll give credit to Paul for giving us this awesome upgrade for Canuck (Sea Ghost has the same style of clamshell I believe?).

I've used a metal ruler and box cutter, and cut as close to inside the sealed portion to give it a nice even cut. If you have steadier hands than me, you can just as easily do it freehand with scissors as well, as long as you are cutting on the inside portion of the line where the plastic is fused together.

(I'll take pics and post later)

Got mine today as well and thoroughly love it! Great job guys. He will stand proudly next to his domestic partner in crime, Rocket Robinhood. I don't know if this has already been shown. But when the Captain was still a custom piece in 2013, he met up with Dr. Evil. Brick Mantooth came in at the last second to try and disco his way out of it. Our beloved Sam Noir was interviewed by the evil Doctor. You did a great job Sam!!

Well Brian, looks like I'll need to order another one. Lil D has taken a real liking to him. I think we can call the Cap a massive hit!

He will be signing and there will be Captain Canuck retro action figures available for purchase!

That's Dr STEvil , he seems to be at every show in the GTA, always in character. It's weird but other than the storm trooper, I know everybody in this video. Makes me wonder where i am. Possibly hiding, not a big "on camera" type.

This is beyond wonderful.

I'm thrilled to see Captain Canuck immediately jump right into my kids' little man games. My LJN Johnny Gage is his secret identity. LOL

Canuck was hanging out at Big Jim's ski lodge last night trying to get Dinahmite's phone number. FTC's Evel Knievel seems to be Canuck's best pal.

I love seeing kids get excited to play with new mego's.
