Some Captain Action news!

If they Make a Red Skull ... He should be an Exclusive ..., or Build a Figure. Come On Man ...., Hot Toy Skulls have dropped in Price. What Kid Want a Nazi Racist Figure in Todays ways of thinking ? .... Just seeing that on a Shelf at TRU ..., could Pi$$ someone Off somehwere's ..., with how Everyone in the World *****es about Everything.

I really don't think that would be a problem...there's plenty of classic Kirby Skull art that doesn't reference any Nazi affiliation whatsoever, and he's a SKULL. Kids LOVE skull-headed characters. Look at Skeletor. The Skull is Cap's number one villain, an A lister if there ever was one. I think he'd sell great.

Yeah--green jumpsuit, ascot, Cosmic Cube, dagger, gunbelt & pistol: Skull could be cool without offensive insignia.

Making the build-a-figure a villain is a great idea, though.

I think he'd sell great.

Naw ..., Venom Sells Great.

I love the new C.A and would hate to see it fail. I think they should do at least 1 villain for every 2 heroes

The problem Round 2 has is they have a broader imagination than they have market share or means to make it happen. I haven't heard any idea I don't like. But their constant shift in changing what they want to make combined with the delays is wearing me out. This is EXACTLY what they did in their Playing Mantis days and it doomed that line. Consumer trust is the most important factor in a product line. Once you lose that, it doesn't really matter what you say. It takes years to get that back. They need to lay off the false sound bites and get back to making product. The product will speak for itself.

I like the new Captain Action and cannot believe Round 2 acquired Marvel AND DC and there will be LADY Action, but costumes need to be released more frequently. Iron Man should have coincided with the new movie. And DC costumes won't hit until 2014. Round 2 is enthusiastic but the product needs to reflect it.

[B-Lister]

Agreed. There should already be an Action Boy, and They should be developing Teen Titans and Legion of Superheroes costumes for him!

The price point for this line is all wrong. I've also noticed ever since the TRU sale ended that the figures are back to being peg warmers. I haven't seen any new stock. During the last TRU sale the Artic C.A. was on sale and ever since that sale ended there aren't any Artic guys on the shelves. It's disappointing too that the forthcoming basic figure isn't going to be more afforable. I thought people were going to be able to purchase $10 bodies rather than the $20?

Here's an update just today...

We just wanted to update you on a great little nuance we’ve added to the next Captain Action figure release coming your way in September. Besides the great looking new box graphics, we are also tweaking Captain Action’s uniform a bit using a black pleather material like what was used in the Thor uniform to upgrade the black portions of Captain Action’s uniform to give it a more structured look and appeal. We love this addition and hope you will too! We’ll update you with pics on this as soon as they become available!
