    Here are the early prototypes of Captain Action, painted and unpainted.





    I would have been happy to respond to the other comments in your post but I see you edited them out.

      After consideration, I thought they were too harsh. I don't want to cause any bad blood or hurt feelings. Glad to see the prototype...it looks great!

        Craig, can you tell what influenced the decision to go with 4" instead of 3.75"? Is there an existing line of figures this is meant to interact and mesh with? At first, I thought it was intended to simulate GI Joe RAH, but it's looking to be taller than that? Is the 4 inch scale driven by a desire to appeal to modern kids lines or vintage?

          Modern G.I. Joe figures are 4" tall and I felt that this would be the best market to target. Also, a recent Kickstarter for a troop builder line of military figures was extremely successful and they went with the 4" scale.

              I'm interested in a couple. One to keep as is and another for a possible custom project.

                If all goes well, do you have any plans to expand the range?

                        Thanks! BBTS has carried my other action figure lines so hopefully they'll do the same for this one.

                            Everything is still in the planning stages for the Kickstarter which I'm hoping to have launched by July. There are a couple of surprises in the works that I think a lot of people will be really excited about.

                              Does July still look good to start?

                                So far it's looking like I'll be able to launch the Kickstarter at the end of the month.
