Nice pics of the new Captain Action and the basic Cap America and Spidey suits.

Agreed. DC really wants to push the new look of their characters right now, and as much as I'd love DC CA, I want silver/bronze age versions that match the Marvel ones, not Jim Lee crap.

DC also seems to forget they had artists before Jose Luis Garcia Lopez and Jerry Ordway. Now, I love those guys, they are two of my favorite artists, but I'd like to see DC do what Marvel does and use some actual retro art on some of their classic-themed product. Aside from an occasional T-shirt, it's almost always 1982 style guide art from JLGL or new retro-type art from Ordway.

I'd like to see Curt Swan Superman art on any CA packaging; Batman and Flash by Infantino and Anderson; GL by Gil Kane; Aquaman by Nick Cardy, etc.

I can't wait until they release Iron Man based on Gene Colan's classic artwork. That will be so cool. I was a big fan of Gene's work and especially enjoyed it in Marvel's Dracula series. I can't WAIT to see what a deluxe costume set will include! I'm hoping it will have Tony's suit case with some kind of mock up of the collapsed armor inside.

Hey Ariel,..I contacted Amoktime,...they still consider me International and wont ship......How are you getting your orders if we both live in same country??? Weird!!!!

Yo Ray! Our Toys R Us stores in the island still don't carry these. I had checked at Hatillo and Mayaguez already. Didn't check at Plaza Las Americas thou... I ended up ordering a set of the Regular figure and costumes at ToysRus.com and cancelled my pre-order at Amok Time just because Entertainment Earth had notified me about the shipment of the Deluxe figure and costumes as well. This of course reached the limit for my budget on these. Never had any problems with Amok Time and them fulfilling my orders since 1997...

Being an old C/A guy, more so than Mego's.., I'm fighting myself on these..

I'm preferring the Legend series much more, moving away from cloth uniforms (ah, still keeping my Megos in the background, though..).

But sayin' that, if I pass now, I'll want them in 3-4yrs and pay top dollar.

Love that Spidey and really waiting to see the Iron Man set....

Oy..

Just picked up 2 Cap sets...One to open and one to keep boxed. The set just looks really great boxed with the Kirby art:




Two questions...Will the outfit go on the Playing Mantis figure? The gloves are gloves or are they hands?

The second question...Where are the sets with the Hawkeye Parts? Or are they comic store exclusives? Thanks.

You have to take the hands off to put on the gloves. The gloves become the hands of the costumes. The suits and masks fit the classic Ideal and Playing Mantis Captain Action. The new gloves won't.

Only the deluxe sets come with the extra Hawkeye parts. Toys R Us only carries the basic sets. The deluxe sets are sold at stores like comic shops and online retailers like Entertainment Earth, Big Bad Toy Store, Amok Time and amazon.com.

Saw just tha Captain Action figure himself at our toys-r-us, I really want these but dang thats an expensive set when I am still trying to finish my Mego collection. Time to start selling the basement stash.

[Krypt0nite]

Any idea if these would fit on a GI Joe 12-inch figure?

I'm considering using a blond Joe as an unmasked Steve Rogers. I know the gloves won't work, but as long as everything else fit I'd be happy.

The suits will probably look a little baggy but, other than that, I don't see why they wouldn't fit.
