Hopefully with each new assortment of costumes, the basic CA figure will be available again also?

Gotta Say I am STOKED ! I love CA. and I love the fact they are selling them as carded uniform sets. this is the boat the PM and Hasbro missed with the last roundof re issues, having the Doll and uniforms is cool for dressing em up!

[jquest]

Cool!! Looking forward to the Suits!

HOLY CRAP! I am blown away!!! Just awesome news coming out today. I am completely pumped! I want to buy these NOW! I can't wait to see the other costume outfits. Well done guys!!! You listened and got it RIGHT!!!! What a kick arse line up. My jaw is on the floor...

[samurainoir]

I'll be buying these! I love the look of them. I hope they do some Kid action as he never got a marvel outfit.

I guess the question would be, which characters could they make for Kid Action to wear?

Ultimate Spiderman would have been an interesting choice... particularly with the reboot movie coming out.

Not sure if any kids or even many non comics reading collectors would really know The Young Avengers, Runaways, New Warriors or the latest generation of teen X-Men.

Much more DC teens to choose from though... Robin and the rest of the Teen Titans.

I wish Playing Mantis had been able to release Speed Racer. Were they working on Johnny Quest as well?

Yeah they ended up aborting the Jonny Quest line...I think one of the blanked out villains on the Dr. Evil box may have been one of the Quest villains......

Now let's do the Marvel costumes in 8" scale. And add some obscure DC characters that Mattel won't make in the next decade.

Anyone get pics of the other three costumes yet?

I'm still drooling for more....

[PNGwynne]

Egads, these are cool!

Who's putting them out--are they exclusives?

[The Batman Professor]

Since we've got threads in two sections running on this topic, I'm posting this in both:

New info direct from the folks at CA Enterprises:

Round 2 corporation is the company putting them out in fall of 2011.
Most of the releases will be through Toys R US, but they will be
putting out exclusive versions of some suits for specialty shops via
Diamond.

So the 2010 date posted by Julius Marx is inaccurate, which confirms my suspicions regarding the Playing Mantis and Toy Biz pieces we see incorporated into the prototypes.

Round 2 is essentially Polar Lights reborn. Interesting...

[Troy]

Holy crap!

[Orion1]

So if these are non-HASBRO Marvel action figures in 12 inch scale, does this open the door for EMCE 8 inch Retro Marvel figures?????

Inquiring minds want to know...

[samurainoir]

Anyone else seeing Robert Picardo in the Captain Action headsculpt?

[The Batman Professor]

60's Cliff Robertson

Eh...Saw this in person at ComicCon.

They look great but I don't understand WHY they HAD to do them in 12" format when the 8" format has already been established?!?!

Great Idea...Wrong Format IMHO

Now these were AWESOME: Captain Action goes Retro at NYCC
