Stand by for adventure! Special Nemo Publishing action figure sale celebrates the release of the new Black Bat
figure
PORTLAND, MAINE (December 31, 2014) – Six years ago, Nemo Publishing released its
first limited edition Mego-style action figure of the retro hero Commander
X. Today, the Nemo collection has grown
to include 14 action figures, including the new Black Bat and the exciting new
Sea Ghost figure which will ship in January.
In celebration of this popular action figure
series and the release of the new Black Bat, Nemo Publishing announces a
special online sale exclusively at www.captneli.com. From now through Friday, February 16, all action
figures (except for Sea Ghost) will be available at a special price of $15.00
(regular price $19.95).
The Black Bat action figure is a reworking of
the classic 1939 hero and was designed by Jay Piscopo and assembled with the
help of Paul Clarke.
Piscopo is the author and illustrator of “The
Undersea Adventures of Capt’n Eli” graphic novel series and has created
numerous titles featuring spin off characters from this book including “The Sea
Ghost” and “Commander X All-Star Special.”
“I'm huge
fan of the Black Bat,” said Piscopo. “He
is an interesting character and has a fascinating place in pop culture history
with Batman and Daredevil. It's exciting
to have him included on the Nemo Toys roster.
His look translates into the new Mego style extremely well. I’m looking
forward to offering more pulp and golden age characters like him in the
future.”

figure collection can be viewed at this link.
The Legend of the Black Bat: When District Attorney Tony Quinn was blinded with acid by criminals, he
thought his days of fighting crime were over.
After a successful operation to restore his sight, Tony retains his
heightened senses and gains the ability to see in the dark. He continues as a District Attorney while
maintaining the ruse that he is still blind and adopts the identity of “The
Black Bat” to punish criminals who have escaped justice.
