I really liked the Zicatoys figures of Captain Action, Jet Jungle and Action Jackson, so I decided to do more research on each of the original figures and then decided to bring them to life in modern 4 inch form.
As far as Captain Action all I did was a leg swap to make him taller and then repainted a gray Captain Action blue. Captain Action Comparison with the unaltered Zica one Action Jackson With the Zicatoys toy modern reimagining A lesser known hero who had a radio show in South Africa in 60s and 70s Jet Jungle. He did get an action figure from Mego in the 70s and Zicatoys did a modern take on him in their Captain Action line a few years ago. Jet Jungle With his Leopard Jupiter With the Zica version

Like the trio! Very unique and well done! Love how they have similarities in their color palettes to help unify them! Great work! =)

Clicked on this expecting to see a figure of Carl Weathers. Lol
I'm not familiar with this Action Jackson character or any any of the other characters here, but the paint work is top notch. Great job! |

Love seeing these guys together, I said it before but your more accurate versions of them are fantastic and then it’s crazy how well just swapping the legs on the Zica Captain Action figure improved him so much.
