Titan Merchandise expandslicensing with CAE
Titan Merchandise, a leading international licensee of pop culture icons and Captain Action Enterprises, licensors of the popular Captain Action line, are proud to announce the launch of Captain Action Cat merchandise, including T-shirts, mugs, I.D. holders and more. These products will be on sale internationally in Q3 2014.
Captain Action Cat, currently appearing in a comic series from Dynamite Entertainment by the award wining team of Art Baltazar, Franco and Chris (Zod) Smits, is an anthropomorphic spin-off of the classic Captain Action character.
This version of the recently revived hero is designed for all-ages. Entitled “The Timestream Cat-astrophe”, the innovative series spans the Modern Age, the Silver Age, the Golden Age and even the “Aw Yeah!” Age. The story features Lady Action, creator-owned characters and Dark Horse heroes X, Ghost, Sky-Man, The Occultist and Captain Midnight.
“This is a very exciting time to be part of such an historical character in the action figure universe! Captain Action has been there since the Action Figure Golden Age! Bringing Captain Action Cat into the mix is super awesome…but seeing him on a T-Shirt is super awesome times infinity! It’s an honor to bring the character alive in Comics! AW YEAH!” said artist/writer Art Baltazar.
Captain Action is an action figure created in 1966 by Stan Weston for Ideal Toys and sold internationally. The line has experienced a strong resurgence, complete with an all-new toys, merchandise, books and comic series.
“I love the work that Art, Franco and Chris are doing on Captain Action Cat – it’s the perfect marriage of cool creators putting a cool new spin on a super-cool established property ” said Titan director Andrew Sumner. “Working with the amazing team at Captain Action Enterprises is a great, surprise-filled ride and we love playing our part. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next!”
“We’ve been just thrilled with all the enthusiasm and professionalism that Titan has brought to their line of Captain Action merchandise. We’re even more excited now that they’ve decided to broaden the line with Captain Action Cat T-shirts and more.” said Ed Catto of Captain Action Enterprises.
Current plans call for the first wave to include a Captain Action Cat T-shirt, a coffee mug and an I.D. holder.
