    P.s. Marty if and when that case comes in I'm done for one.

    That looks glorious, exactly as I thought it might. Be prepared to get a little emotional when the truck drops these off to you. Seeing your vision in this format with the carded artwork will make all of the sacrifices and efforts well worth it. I guarantee all of the Museum's social media platforms will make this release explode.

    It's always a treat to see re-Mego superheroes, and the EMCE and FTC efforts are very much appreciated by me, but there's just a little bit more magic in a project like this. It might have started with an idea mentioned on a random phone call and sprouted from there. Seeing a character that has always deserved an action figure made into a real, tangible product is refreshing. This made my day seeing those shots.

    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.
    same story here with my childhood brush with Canuck, except it was IGA in Lacon, ILL. Glad to see the figure get made.

    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.

    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 was Paul's smart idea.

    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

    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.
