cool. hawkman would be sweet

[Nostalgiabuff]

so how did Tonner end up making Lady Action? I thought round 2 was making her. the Tonner doll looks to be bigger than 1:6 too

Lady Action is not in scale with Captain Action. That is just another promotional campaign for the license. Once again, no unity with their CA figure line.

[Red Hulk]

Those are some great choices for future sets I'd like to see Space Ghost and Dr.Doom sets.

[TomStrong]

I'm in for Space Ghost!

I look forward to adding all these to my collection in 2059, assuming of course I'm not dead.

Well said. At the current rate of release, they might make it through half of those by then. And that's being optimistic!

Wow, I had no idea they had a DC too.

I'm not real interested in the Tonner Lady Action myself, and the Iron Man mask looks sort of wrong to me in those pictures. I almost wish they would go with an entire head instead of the masks. That would allow a better proportions I think and tighter sculpting.

I think they might have to consider separate heads or go back to the original two piece mask, so they can get a tighter fit. It's very hard to make a one piece mask that hugs a head tight enough without giving it that wobble head proportion. My favorites to date are Spider-man and Thor. They have the best artist likeness in the lot thus far. Iron Man is a complete miss (for me) with regards to having any real likeness to Gene Colan or Romita Jr renderings as advertised. There is also another problem occurring with the Captain Action figures themselves. The later releases are beginning to grey...BADLY. Face and body. It's happening on the Arctic figure and the last releases of the Capt in his standard packaging. Interesting since the Caps I have from the Playing Mantis years remain just as vibrant as the day I bought them new. So there appears to be a manufacturing problem occurring as well. This is especially bad since the extras I bought can't be used on characters that are sleeveless since the graying is so bad, the arms are no longer flesh tone. Wish I could get replacements or my money back on those! That bites!

I agree about Thor and Spidey looked good as well. A two piece mask would have worked well with Iron Man. Regarding the graying, post up some pictures, I haven't seen one of mine do that myself. I'm sure if you contact Round 2 they'd replace them for you.

I rather like the Loki they did.

They were saying on FB those were just options for future releases and people could vote on which ones they wanted to see made. Personally, I voted for Space Ghost, because that might be the only shot he ever has of seeing a 1/6 release. On a somewhat similar note, I have noticed they haven't mentioned the Rocketeer lately, which is a bummer.
