      And $25 to ship - a bit excessive for a uniform and accessories, plus NOT SHIPPING UNTIL MARCH 2025. $30 deposit, so of course I pulled the trigger.

          I have to say that’s too freakin expensive for pleather. We have seen what happens in a couple of years to modern pleather both cheap and expensive. At that price they could be made from glove type leather. But I agree it looks great. Either use cheap toy grade materials and charge toy grade prices or use collector grade materials and charge collector prices. Don’t ask us to pay Cadillac prices for Pinto parts.

              Interesting...

              Captain Action, The worlds First Superhero Action Figure, Dr. Evil, Lady Action, Action Boy, Khem, Major Action are all owned by Captain Action Enterprises which creates action figures, comic books, graphic novels, animation, statues, and other pop culture consumer products.


              New Captain Action figure as well, have to assume Dr. Evil is coming too. Out of my price range...

                $175 for that seems a little pricey. The new Captain Action sculpt looks enough like Anson Mount as Pike that he should be getting a likeness fee.
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  The more I think about it, it’s ridiculous and all involved should be ashamed. The only reason I’m buying this one costume set is because I’ve been wanting it to happen since Round 2 showed the packaging mockup a decade ago.

                  What are we talking about here? A plastic helmet and rocketpack, pleather jacket, some cloth goods, hands and a few accessories - $175

                  ONE AND DONE (unless they do a Joker - I’m a schmuck)

                  The derpy doll is a hard pass. I have plenty of Round 2 bucks that I can make work.

                    A fellow CA lister showed me this latest offering by CAE. I am still on the fence about this whole lot. I really dislike the new captain, but the Dr. Evil looks pretty good. There is a coupon out there somewhere.

                      My experience with Round 2 is making me not want to pull the trigger on this. Despite being 100 percent climate controlled, it melts or gets tacky. I have slowly learned, with all collecting, to bypass the throwback and reimagining of a line and just wait patiently for what was.

                      What I mean by that is that I wish I would have taken all the money I spent on Round 2 Marvel and applied it toward original CA. My Round 2 stuff is falling apart. My Playing Mantis stuff is just fine, but that Round 2 money would have been better spent on vintage.

                        My Round 2 stuff is fine - was futzing with my Iron Man on Friday with no issues.

                          I bought some Round 2, but sold it all away. Still have a couple of Playing Mantis sets and they seem solid.

                            Too rich for my blood. I skipped on the Ultra Man Captain Action for the same version, unfortunately. I'd love to welcome both to my collection, but neither are worth the cost.

                              A very cool piece for sure, although a bit on the pricey side.
