is there any chance someone will do A.J. like sets?

[roman]

Is it out of the question that either Doc Mego or Castaway could reinvent the Action Jackson idea and make outfits sets? Cap Action revival suits would be keen but rather than super heroes you

Maybe do a more modern approach, say a FBI / spy look with trench coat and fedora? Maybe a western suit or two and military attire that might as easily include dress uniforms as well as fatigues? You could have police outfits, fireman, surgeons, astronauts, nurses, politicians, judges with robe and gavel, maybe a 18th century patriot look with powdered wig. I guess you could go as odd as to make a pharoh's costume or a kings' outfit, a merchant marine....

just a thought.

I'd love to see EMCE do Action Jackson figures.
I don't know whats up with the copy rights of the Action Jackson name or if it is even possible due to licensing.

I have no intrest in collecting the origonal AJ figures, but if EMCE came out with them I would support the line by buying them 100%.

IMO Realistic military sets have 1/6 as its following so I don't see AJ holding up too well ( heck you can get mint on card original sets for less than $20 regularly - I know I love em and bought and opened like 7

Here's an idea.....why not do a new AJ villain to battle AJ PLUS new outfits for our old AJ's.

Well, they didn't use the molds, but Playing Mantis had the AJ license some years back. But I'd really like to see EMCEs of the originals, and some new ones too. For instance, there was never an space suit! (I just used the Fire Fighter set for the space suit.)

Anything that EMCE makes, I'll buy. AJ would be cool as would a new villain for AJ.

I understand your feelings DocD; while I am not being a completist for Emce I have bought at least 2 alien figures in each wave for trek and now have the rest thanks to the FAO sale.

I would love new AJ sets but I am thinking there might be better usage of the time and tooling needed to make new stuff

Yeah, but the trouble with most of those vintage MOC A/J suits is that they didn't (physically) hold up very well... Most of them are so decrepit with age, you could poke a hole thru them without even trying...

[Megotu]

Most of it would not be tooling, but the clothing manufacturing, which I have been told by my all seeing Hamster of Knowledge is nowhere near as extensive a job as tooling.
As for AJ...I hate the head they used for AJ. Just about ANYTHING would be better than that mug. I nominate the POTA Astronaut for the new face of AJ. He even LOOKS more like the art for AJ than AJ does.

Man, I want the AJ politician!!!
