They had combined the two properties (Captain Action and Eagle Force) but Eagle Force was proceeding too slowly so CA was separated again.

Eagle Force is going to be a Kickstarter too.

Since BFS is doing the sculpt-work, I'm sure the delays are due to the HACKS delays. Which I'm okay with since at the end of it we'll end up with a very large BFSverse of [LASER BLAST]' sweet figures.

Jet Jungle

I'm not really familiar with the character but I like the look of the figure...

I looked him up on Google. He's a character from a South African radio show that ran from 1965-85, kind of on the order of Race Bannon and other similar adventurers. He actually had a figure produced by Mego for that market. It seems to be one of the rarest Megos ever made.

More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Jungle

I wasn't really interested in this line, but I'm a sucker for stuff like this (the introduction/revival of obscure and/or foreign heroes, especially in lines that are compatible with my existing collection). Maybe we could get Sun Koh next?

BFS is done with their part of the project from what they've said on Facebook, they hadn't done any of the sculptwork for Action Jackson.

So I think it's down to Zica.


Eagle Force, no idea why that hasn't progressed.

Jet Jungle kind of resembles Jogun Warrior to me... Well, from the neck up anyway :shifty:

Well, this was posted on ZICA's Facebook page on Sept. 30, note the insignia on the fallen soldier:

I could be reading too much into this, but hopefully it means they're still being planned.

I will say that the legs on these would be great for Superhero outfits. The boots aren't easy to find this way.

Apparently they ran into a licensing issue that needs to be ironed out. So the Knight of Darkness is now up in the air.

I don't get the whole thing. First it's a Captain Action kick starter then nope it's adventure people but not THE Adventure people. It doesn't know what it wants to be.
I only want to fund because I thought I'd be getting the Captain Action characters.....I've already made a Cap do I need a need these figures?
