    All of this depresses me greatly... In that, Cast-a-way was doing SUCH amazing stuff back then. Phantom is still a highlight piece, arguably the best Re-Mego ever made.

    I feel like they could redo all of these again and sell like gangbusters.

    But alas, CAW never recovered after. Imagine if they could have done more of these, Rocketeer, or other Pulp heroes. What might have been.

      Well funny you should say that... Now PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, I am not saying we will re-visit any past properties, but Castaway Toys is far from dead. I am not sure how we will move into the future, but I can say this. Jason and I are back in business together, he is bringing the tooling for the modern female body and we are partners in all of the molds from recent years including the Type S body. What does that mean? I can't really say today, but what I do know is that the creative team that brought you the Phantom and Captain Actions is back together! We are excited and are ready to take what we have to another level.

        Good to hear, David! I missed the Castaway Phantom/CA era, but the praise of the product always makes disappointed that I did. Who wouldn't want a Phantom or Captain Action ReMego?

        Good luck to you and Jason and your future endeavors.

              That's terrific news, Dave! I always loved what you guys were selling when Castaway Toys was humming along. The swivel arm bodies, the hero heads, the boots, the suits and of course The Captain Action and Phantom lines. AND the 12" Flash Gordon. I bought all of that stuff and I look forward to seeing what you guys are going to do next, now that you are back.
