Those are mock ups using DC Direct 13" figures as the art. Looking forward to the actual promo art though. Maybe at Toyfair in February?

I put together a little bash of a spy version of Captain Action: http://www.infinitehollywood.com/cap...on-custom-spy/

^^^ Nice custom! Fits him well. This should be another good year for the Captain with an Iron Man set coming in April along with the last Hawkeye pieces to complete that character. Then we should be seeing some DC product plus some other off brand characters. Possibly Space Ghost and the Rocketeer. This is a very exciting line.

Just saw a post on the captain action Facebook page that the next build a figure will be aquaman and this time they are making it so we will complete the figure in only 3 purchases so it will be deluxe Batman, deluxe superman, and we will see who the third one is. We will also be seeing a classic covers superman after the release of the man of steel movie. Man this year CA figires are going to be awesome

^I'd bet the third figure is the Joker for Dr. Evil. That's just a guess with no actual knowledge.

I still need to get a Dr. E, Loki and Thor...

Alot of people have been saying it will be joker and with 66 Batman by Mattel coming out as well as CA Batman I sure hope it will be joker

I've got a question, guys. How do the gloves and boots fit on the figures? I'm thinking about using the Superman, Rocketeer, and Aquaman costumes on Hot Toys or Kaustic Plastik bodies, and I'm not sure if the costumes will fit or if it's even possible with the gloves and boots. F.ex., do the boots slip over the feet? It looks as if the gloves fit directly into the wrists from the pictures I've seen. Thanks!

torgo,

the boots slip over the feet. The gloves snap onto the wrist pin. Or, if you choose to use an alternate body, you can press fit the gloves onto the forearms. My son and I do that with our Playing Mantis CA bodies for the outfits and it works just fine. I did a couple of body comparisons when the Captain America and Spidey sets came out. I think I used a Dragon body, classic Hasbro Joe, and a modern Hasbro Joe to see how they worked. Should be in the archives here somewhere.

Thanks for the info--I think I remember seeing your pictures, but I'll look them up again. Those costumes have to be a godsend for customizers that can't sew well.

They also mentioned the Joker and Green Lantern would be coming as well! This is just an awesome line because they have such versatility with their licensing right now. They are truly in a market by themselves. No one can compete with what they are doing. Amazing stuff. Check out some of the mock up boxes below and you can see the fun coming our way.

Preorders are now available for wolverine, ironman, and apparently a new CA figure with a "new" suit called CA mission 013 from the photos shown it looks like just the same old round 2 CA or does anyone know the real difference other then what they stated about it?

And if anyone here follows CA on Facebook there is talk on which should come out first the flash or zoom so hopefully we see them in the future
