        Thanks, it's been a real roller coaster, it's definitely getting harder to get your smaller projects made. If it weren't for Doc and Captain America, this would have been impossible.

          Awesome job guys. I loved these comics as a kid. I could only find them second hand, but I always managed to score some.

            One of the things that really kickstarted this process for Ed and myself were all the US fans the Captain had. Guys like you and Random Axe Scott made us realize that it could sell enough to justify the production.

              They look amazing. The head sculpt totally captures the authentic Mego feel IMHO. I would have traded my baby sister for one of these back in 1976.

              Definite congratulations all around.

              So, ummm, is a case just magically appearing at my door with the appropriate credit card charge

                Congrats Brian! The sculpt is great and using a white body is a smart idea.

                  That was Paul's smart idea.

                      Thanks, if I have one discernable fingerprint on this, it's the orange. I think it's Cap's colour and it was the colour of cap #1. Not sure if the license holders will approve but fingers crossed.

                        That looks like it fell off the mego truck in 1980. Nice job.

                          I agree--no higher compliment IMO.

                          I know very little about the character--my idea of Canadian superheroes was Alpha Flight--but I like the figure.

                              Hey, he's looking NICE!!

                              I remember somehow finding an issue of Captain Canuck at a grocery store in rural Nebraska when I was a kid and thinking he was pretty cool and I would pick up the next issue. It was 10-15 years before I found another copy in New Jersey.

                              I still think he's pretty cool.
                              Expectation is the death of discovery.
