\"\"<\/a>[ENGLISH] Captain Action Enterprises, LLC says:<\/strong> New York, NY, September 23, 2008 – Captain Action Enterprises, LLC, Masked Avenger Studios and Electric Tiki are pleased to announce the Captain Action Statue, distributed by Sideshow Collectibles. Captain Action, the very first superhero action figure from the 1960\u2019s, is being introduced with a new comic series, new toys, apparel and now with a 14 inch polystone, hand-painted, ready for display collectible statue. \u201cIt\u2019s great to collect the toys, but\u00a0we really wanted to create a product for the collector\u2019s office or mantle,\u201d said Captain Action Enterprises Joe Ahearn. \u201cWe reached out to Rub\u00e9n because we\u2019ve loved his work on many other classic heroes, like the Phantom, Zorro and Dick Tracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It turns out Masked Avenger Studios\u2019 Ruben Procopio was perfect for this project! \u201cI still have my Captain Action figure that my parents bought me in the mid 60\u2019s\u2026 what a lifelong lasting impression that doll has made!\u00a0 It was a licensing dream to be able to change him into so many
\nsuperheroes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So when Ed Catto and Joe Ahearn approached us with the idea of doing a statue, I jumped at the chance,\u201d Procopio said.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s like coming full circle as it rekindles all those memories of joy and hours of excitement Captain Action brought to me.\u201d \u201cWe unveiled the prototype at the New York Comic Con, and the fans loved it. They\u2019ve been asking for it throughout the convention season,\u201d said Captain Action Enterprises\u2019 Ed Catto. \u201cAs evidenced by the never-ending Captain Action items on eBay, collectors love Captain Action. So we decided to make this a highly limited edition of just 250 pieces. Needless to say, the pre-ordering
\nhas been very enthusiastic.\u201d Even the packaging appeals to the collector\u2019s eye, as it is reminiscent of the original 1960\u2019s Ideal boxes. Take a look! The Captain Action statue will be available in stores in December 2008, and can be pre-ordered now at http:\/\/www.sideshowtoy.com\/?page_id=4489&sku=900070<\/a> and through Diamond Distribution at your local comic book retailers. Suggested retail price is $149.99.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cSculpting this statue has been one of those dream projects and an opportunity to keep the legend alive\u2026 I hope the collectors and fans get as much joy as I had making it,\u201d said Procopio. Issues #1 and #2 of the new, ongoing Moonstone Captain Action comic will be released in October and November following a sellout of Issue #0, so the fan excitement is building. Creators involved with the project include Fabian Nicieza, Marv Wolfman, Murphy Anderson, Dick Giordano, Thomas Yeates and Ed Hannigan. Jim Shooter is supplying a very special forward for the first issue.<\/p>\n
