NEW Captain Action and Dr. Eville Figures

[BlackKnight]

Why the Change to Art Thibert for the Card ?
Does He draw the Comic or something ?
I'm a fan of Art, But I also Think Chris did a Outstanding Job on the origional packaging.

[boss]

they've been sold out for a while.

[rche]

are any of the old versions still on the site, or are they sold out?

[boss]

exactly. we really wanted to capture more of the comic feel with these new ones. The new details are more closely aligned with the comic art.

[ScottA]

Pretty sweet guys.

Interesting, I can't tell which ones I like more. The first batch look just like the Playing Mantis ones sans the difference in scale, but the new ones really do look more modern and fresh what with the attention to detail in paint.

[boss]

as soon as our shipment arrives from China, we'll make a big announcement. the figures are on the water as we speak. we're pretty excited.

Amazing what a little paint will do... The factory nailed these... Woot!

[MIB41]

THAT is awesome! Nice improvements! Great work guys!

[boss]

nope... still vinyl all the way.

[MIB41]

So did the Captain go from a rubber head to a resin one? Am I reading that correctly? Looks great!

Now that we've had a couple of days to look over our factory samples, I thought I'd post a quick visual breakdown of how these new figures stack up to the older version. I think in every way we've made improvements.

couple quick notes: Captain Action still comes with a hat. It is not shown here because there was no intentional change made. Also, these figures are being printed on new cards, too (from comic book artist Art Thibert).

so in essence, those of you who've never owned a Captain Action or Dr. Eville figure... you're getting something great. Those of you who do own them, you're getting something new and improved.

and now without further ado (the images on the left are the old version, the images on the right are the new)...
