Custom Contest Winners, More...

Captain Action Enterprises held a panel at San Diego Comic-Con where they discussed how the timeless toy is branching out this year with numerous figure projects. Releasing for the first time-ever in 3 3/4" figure format will be Captain Action from ZICA Toys (see our story HERE). Look for Captain Action, Action Boy, Dr. Evil and the Silver Streak later this year. Fresh Monkey Fiction is introducing Captain Action as part of their 4.5" retro-inspired Amazing Heroes figure line (HERE), the Kickstarter project currently underway at kickstarter.com/projects/549582372/amazing-heroes-retro-style-super-hero-action-figur. Last but not least is Tonner's beautiful Lady Action (HERE), the 16" British Superspy now in-stock at TonnerDoll.com.

CAE also announced the winners of their 1:6 Custom Figure Contest (read our story HERE). Fans submitted tons of creative entires, including Captain Action decked out as an astronaut (my favorite), Dick Tracy, Racer X and numerous DC superheroes such as Batman and Aquaman. A unique entry even had Captain Action dressed as GI Joe! Alas, only one could walk away with the $500 shopping spree. After some careful debate amongst the panel's judges, the winner was announced to be a TIE! These included Tom Pyne's "Black Terror" and Jase Marshall's "The Shadow" - both winning entires (which will split the prize) pictured above. Check out the runner-ups in our gallery below!
