        My most heartfelt congrats to you and Craig, Dave, and everyone involved with Castaway and the Kickstarter. But 70% of the goal isn't 100%! Sure, there's two weeks to go, but now's not the time to rest on them laurels!

        OBrienLockerroom.jpg

        I'm going to tell you something I've kept to myself for years -- None of you ever knew George Gipp. It was long before your time. But you know what a tradition he is as a Mego collector and customizer...

        (There is gentle, faraway look in my eyes as I recall the boy's words). And the last thing he said to me -- "Tim," he said - "sometime, when Castaway Toys is up against it -- and the breaks are beating the boys and screwing up their customs -- tell them to go out there with all they got and redesign the Type 2 body with increased articulation and no more rubber bands for the Gipper...

        (My eyes become misty and his voice is unsteady as I finish). I don't know where I'll be then, Tim", he said - "but I'll know about it - and I'll be happy."

        Dave, Craig, fellow Kickstarter supporters... let's win this one for (sniff) the Gipper.
        "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

          Any thought given to flocked hair and beard versions? That would definitely give them a nice 70's vibe.

                    Any chance of a BALD bearded head? That way we can give him rooted hair, and make a Qui-Gon Jinn!

                    Don't tell me no one ELSE thought of THAT!

                        No, the Action Jackson head and it's different variations will not be sold individually. If you want an Action Jackson head you have to buy a complete figure. We will be selling individual heads but not of any characters that we create specifically for the Action Jackson line. However, there are plans to sell a basic Action Jackson figure which would be a nude Type S body with an AJ head. This way you have a cheaper alternative for buying AJ figures that can be used to display various clothing and accessory sets.

                          AJ with a beard looks great too!
                          I'll have to pick up a bearded one to go with beardless AJ. Just need to decide on a hair/beard color. Decisions.... decisions...

                          Will you guys be doing specific eye colors to go with specific hair colors? Like vintage GI Joes had.

                            We'll see what the factory says... usually they don't care about such things, but it's a question we have to ask...

                            I would see it like this (pun intended)

                            Black/Brown
                            Brown/Brown
                            Blonde/Blue
                            Red/Blue or Green

                              I'll say it again, this line, done correctly, is way overdue. The options for characters and accessories is pretty much endless. I always thought CTVT would have been better off releasing stuff like knights and western heroes as suits rather than complete figures. Then offer bodies as a separate option. Would have kept a ton of the negative body reviews away just as a start. This line would offer that ability. Generic characters like police, fire, or military. It could branch into lines similar to Big Jim or Super Joe easily, and the fact that it has a vintage past could attract a huge number of those collector's. Villains are possible and any comic tie in would be a bonus. Would love to see some vehicles. AJ was one of the big Mego items I had as a kid. Very interested in seeing where it goes.

                              It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                                Wow...even though my first love is ugly AJ, I really do like this sculpt, especially the bearded version. But will there be an African American version?
