Captain Canuck first look

[cjefferys]

Boat has landed, just waiting for customs to do their thing. Then a truck, then more customs, then we sell dolls to people.

Where did the boat land? The west coast has really been congested lately, some of our customers have had some longer than normal waits getting stuff from Asia off the ship, clearing customs and loaded onto a truck or train. Hopefully your stuff will have a smoother trip, fingers crossed!

Road trip to BC? I'm in

After too long a delay in China, the Canucks are en route to Canada - if they haven't arrived already.

They're here and now on their way to Canuck HQ, we're figuring out a launch date. Museum peeps will learn first.

That would go nicely next to Captain America and Union Jack sort of like a world allies collection.

He looks great. I think it's too cool you've taken a character you've liked and has been neglected, then went so far as to have an actual factory figure made. It's got to be a labor of love, overriding the headaches, I imagine.

If you're ever willing to take suggestions on another licensed figure, allow me to suggest the Man from Atlantis w/ webbed hands.

Bless you, we ain't getting rich and both Ed and myself have lost a little sleep.

Oh sure, choose a favourite of mine. Right now I'm saying "No Mo" to China but I've said that a lot...

[Mego Milk]

I'm gonna purchase one!

Are you sure a few didn't fall off the skid and are making their way up the 115?

Yipee! Will these be through the PS Store? I'm thinking of bundling a few items...

I've just returned from a celebratory dinner at Odeon Toys World Headquarters and a visit to the warehouse.

I can scarcely believe I'm holding in my hands the realization of my childhood dream of a Captain Canuck Mego action figure. As a kid growing up in Canada, it was hugely important to me that we had our own superheroes. I had Captain Canuck comic books, I had a t-shirt, but the one crucial thing missing was the figure.

So you can understand how it was quite an emotional moment to stand in front of a box filled with factory made Captain Canuck Mego style action figures. There are plenty of people to thank on this two year journey.

Big thanks to Brian Lietner and Paul Wasson for helping me prototype the original short run of figures that convinced the license holder that we could make these. The public response to those figures helped us gauge that there was enough interest for us to pursue mass market production.

Richard Comely, the folks at Captain Canuck Inc and especially Walter at Big B Comics for supporting our efforts and allowing us to create these toys, and sticking by us.

Props to Andy Covalt for doing such a great job on the head sculpt.

Mark Huckabone for his help in the prototype head paints.

An enormous amount of gratitude to Doc Mego, Paul Clarke for all his work and effort in producing this figure and birthing it through the manufacturing process (and his patience with someone who's never gone through the china-manufacturing route before).

And Brian, the guy who had my back every step of the way in all of this craziness. I know I can be a whirlwind of enthusiasm and pie in the sky creative tunnel vision, and he brought a solid backbone of real-world practicality and business sensibility to the proceedings, in addition to his depth of toy knowledge and passion for all things Mego. I am humbled and honoured that Captain Canuck is the follow up to Brick Mantooth and Super Collector at Odeon Toys.

and thanks to everyone who encouraged and cheered us on. I never expected so many non-Canadians to be getting behind this!

As I said before, I want one!!!

My best friend live near the Canada boarder for years back in the day and collected the Captain Canuck comic books. Once he moved done south I began to read his comics and got to really like the character. So now I get my chance to add a ReMego Captain Canuck figure to Hall of Justice.

Where can you still buy one of these, or are they all sold out?
