Cotswold Collectibles, Inc. Six Deluxe Outfit Sets total will need to be purchased to complete the Hawkeye Outfit - Captain America, Spider Man, Iron Man, Thor, Red Skull, and Dr. Doom.
Iron Man and Thor out first quarter 2012.


Doom! Yes!
 
That lineup looks great. Hopefully, this thing sells and they get to do DC characters.
 
It s called the "Razor/Razor blades" concept.The razor is the action figure and the razor blades are the uniforms.Clever marketing ploy.It worked for around three decades with toys.Playing Mantis abandoned it however with Captain Actions last incarnation in 1999/2000 and it was a complete disaster.

Yeah, GI Joe did the same thing, but I believe Barbie started it.

That because they couldn't get the Marvel license. This time they did. And they updated Captain Action, both the sculpt and his body.
 
No pics of Hawkeye yet. Hopefully we'll see something at SDCC.

Here are a couple of shots of Captain America and Spider-Man to tide you over:

As good as the Spidey looks those boots are quite disappointing, also would be nice if he included a hand that could be used for gripping a webline. I might get it for the suit mask and gloves only and do something else for the boots, Cap I am okay with but have something else lined up for a cap custom now so it isn't of much use to me

Edit: I mean seriously Spidey's gloves Look just like the photoshopped prototypes as does the suit but the boots look chunkier and less form fitted

Question about Captain Action

I have not heard it mentioned here, so I was wondering if anyone is buying the figure and the two outfits? I am. It was my favorite toy from my childhood.
 
Re: Question about Captain Action

Yes- I bought both as well. I still have an original Superman CA from the 1960's in my collection. I had many of the original figures when I was a kid growing up in the late '60's

I don't own and have never seen a Captain Action figure or outfit.

I am considering getting the Marvel outfit and was wondering if anyone could tell me how they compare to Hot Toys clothes? Will they fit Hot Toys bodies?
