Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future

[mmmmBrains]

I remember I had the Captain Power figure with the chest piece that somehow interacted with a vcr. Those were the days....

Anyone else remember this?

I remember it. Came on Sunday mornings where I grew up. I had a few of the figures, but none of the ships that you could use as guns and shoot at the screen when it "flashed" to get points.

I remember that. I had the robot bird guy. Was his name Sauron? It'd be cool if someone made a 1/6 version of him.

 

[mmmmBrains]

So I'm not the only one...

The guy bottom right was my favorite. I loved the visor.

 

[karamazov80]

I had a figure of the camo armored guy that I really liked. I guess he was closer to GI Joe than the other guys

I had two of the toys, one was captain power and the other was an orange bird monster with 4 arms and both had laser guns for a that you could point at panels on there chest to score hits. I really never knew what they were from but I got them as a chrismas present in the late 80's. I have a picture of them from when I opened them on x-mas at my moms house.

Oh dear god....I had the planes that had triggers on them you used to shoot at the tv.

I love this show!!!

I bought the season DVD a few months ago (got a deal because wal-Mart screwed up their pricing)

Tank Elias was always my favorite.

This show was always way better than it seemed like it would be. Loved the toys, I used to play the VCR game that came with the jets all the time. Wouldn't mind seeing these re-issued or re-vamped...

OMG!! My childhood is flashing before my eyes!! Heck yeah I remember this and the interactive VHS.

Good thread topic.

A new Captain Power show is in the works. I would like to see Sideshow make a statue. They could do a lighted Power badge base. But I don't think there is enough interest for Sideshow to work on it. Maybe Hot Toys? I'm sure they could make an awesome figure of Captain Power with the armor.

 

[Niltusk]

Don't remember these, but the designs are surprisingly cool considering the age of the show, would love to see an updated version.

I had all the toys that were released, all vhs tapes, crayons and other things. I might have had everything that was made. Man I loved Captain Power.

Dvd set the day it came out. It really was a show way ahead of its time.

It really was a show way ahead of its time.

Can't say more to this.

The costumes and computer graphics were all great for its time.

The show, if I'm not mistaken, was cut short because it was deemed "too dark" for kids.

Thanks for the nostalgic trip guys! I used to say "POWER ON" a lot, and I remember the closing credits where Captain Power would say "hold on -- I'm gonna blow this baby" or something like that, followed by an explosion

The only Captain Power toy I still have to this day is the Interlocker. Noticed the price on this pic was $6.90? Wow! This toy was huge back then when I was a kid. Wished I got the Phantom Striker and Powerjet-XT7 though.

I vaguely remember seeing this but not sure if I had this one too. Awesome toys back then!

 

[pixletwin]

I had those. I never figured out how they were supposed to work for the TV show.

 

[Jaycepticon]

I loved this show as a kid and had a few figures and the shoes. I think they're actually rebooting this. I see updates on Facebook.

 

[ProgMatinee]

It should work a lot better now in high def and with better photo lense technology and stuff.

If I remember correctly I had a tank of some sort.

 

[Kibagami]

I've read that they might redo this show. If course it might be more adult.
