With a lot of action figure lovers here, I thought I'd spread the word on this new project to you I heard about a couple days ago. Right now it's on Kickstarter. I just love the concept behind it. The base body looks really great. Lots more info here:

But basically they are using a standard 8'' buck body:
And they are going to build a line of heroes from different cultures. Some of which I'm betting a lot of people haven't heard of, especially kids. It'd be great if these eventually made it into specialty/education toy shops. The first one up is Rama:
Here are some upcoming ones:
Their goal is HUGE so I worry a bit about that... but I really hope it takes off! If you're not in the US you do have to jump through a bit of a hoop to donate (they talk about it at the bottom) but it's not too bad an extra step. Just thought I'd share if anyone is interested!
