The original Action Jackson predates the Carl Weathers offering and, while a 1:6 Carl would be cool, the return of this 70's iconic toy is long overdue. Aj was to 8" figures what GI Joe was to 12" figures. You could buy one Aj, then any number of accessory sets and outfits to make him whatever you wanted him to be.
ZICA is bringing him back in 8 and 12 inch so its win-win.
If you've never heard of ZICA they are previously an 8" specializing company that have recently announced retro Six Million Dollar Man 3.75" figures and now are moving into the 1:6 realm. They were responsible for the, albeit short lived, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century 8" line that unfortunately only offered Buck and Tigerman before ending. That notwithstanding their attention to detail on everything from uniforms to weapons to accessories was nothing short of amazing. If that commitment transfers to their 1:6 endeavors, I think 1:6 collectors and enthusiasts are in for a real treat.
