Big Captain Action news

[Brown Bear]

DC & Marvel co-existing....just like the 70's and dig that AWESOME packaging!! Wow!

[Chris]

I'm still going to hold out for the retro packaging but it's getting tougher.

figures.com reports that Captain Action Superman and Joker costumes coming Summer 2013. Aquaman is Build a Costume like Marvel Hawkeye, but fewer sets to complete! Batman still coming.

I AM STOKED! PLEASE BRING BACK Action Boy and Super Queens!

Waitaminute....After reading the figures.com article, they say that the Iron Man and Wolverine sets will complete Hawkeye's costume.

What the heck happened to the RED SKULL!? Are they not making him anymore?

Hawkeye was always going to be the hero you completed in the CA set. I think the Red Skull will get built through the Dr. Evil deluxe costumes.

^ You are correct about Hawkeye, but wave three was originally supposed to be Iron Man and Red Skull.
Red Skull was supposed to be the last set you needed to complete Hawkeye. It looks like they replaced him with Wolverine.
I'm worried cause they didn't even show a prototype of him. He was my most wanted villain.

Wow, this is great news! I love seeing the Carmine Infinantino/Murphy Anderson classic Batman standing pose on Batman's package. The Superman Neal Adams pose looks like a redraw, but hopefully they'll fix that. I hope they don't use the 82 Garcia Lopez artwork. As much as I love that, give it a rest. Use actual Silver/Bronze Age artwork, like they are doing on the Marvel packages.

Of course these mock-ups use the DCD 13" figures, but I'm hoping the actual product looks great. Love the presentation!

Joe Ahearn from the Captain Action Enterprises said Iron Man would carry images from Gene Colan and the costume would be based on that artist's rendition. He said there would also be some artwork from Bob Layton. But the artwork here is from John Romita Jr. It will be interesting to see if the Deluxe version carries the Gene Colan variant. I am so pumped for these!

Here's a shot of Cap dressed up in his Hawkeye outfit for those building this character from the deluxe outfits. Unfortunately I could only find an up close photo of him. No full body shots. But that's still pretty cool. I'm liking it.

I really wanted a Red Skull. :sigh:

[Iron Mego]

Hawkeye looks really nice.

^^^ Thanks for the pic! Here's another shot with most of his gear on. I'm assuming they're going to include his belt? Looks good though.

Man, his face is downright Don Heck-ish. Awesome!
