Undersea Knight Reviewed by Collectors' Corner

Boyce McClain reviews Nemo Publishing's new Commander X Undersea Knight on Collectors' Corner. Check it out at this link.

"This figures reminds me so much of my youth when I would go to a department store and marvel at the new toys on the shelf. Action figures were in their infancy and MEGO, G.I. Joe and Captain Action figures were all the rage. Thank you Nemo Publishing for this delightful trip down Memory Lane." ~ Boyce McClain, Collectors' Corner

Inspired by The Undersea Adventures of Capt'n Eli's Commander X, Nemo Publishing presents the Commander in a new Limited Edition Action Figure.

The Golden Age Undersea Knight harkens back to the bygone age of the square jaw, straight lace heroes. The fully articulated figure stands approximately six to seven inches tall with the Commander's telltale mustached face peering out from behind a silver undersea helmet. The helmet rests on a silver sleeve that fits over the shoulders of the Commander.

Dressed entirely in a black leotard, form-fitting outfit the Commander also sports blue gloves, black half boots and a black belt with the Commander's trademark yellow 'X' on a red background.

Included with the bubble packed figure is a long lance or spear that fits easily into the Commander's hands. A full color illustration of the Undersea Knight is seen in action directly left of the figure. On the back of the bubble pack is a series of head illustrations of the Commander in his various guises.

This figures reminds me so much of my youth when I would go to a department store and marvel at the new toys on the shelf. Action figures were in their infancy and MEGO, G.I. Joe and Captain Action figures were all the rage. Thank you Nemo Publishing for this delightful trip down Memory Lane.

Collectors' Corner Reviews Commander X Western Knight

Commander X Western Knight
Review by Boyce McClain
From out of the Golden Age comes Commander X, Western Knight, a limited edition action figure fashioned after the mysterious man from the future in the pages of The Undersea Adventures Of Capt'n Eli.

The fully-articulated action figure is reminiscent of the old Mego figures, but of a higher quality. Articulation points are cleverly hidden in arm, leg and torso joints and allow the figure to pose in many different action stances without the aid of a stand.

Paint application is first-rate, especially on the mustached face, mask, gloved hands and hair.

The figure comes dressed in real cloth blue jeans, a white shirt with oversize color and roiled up sleeves, a red bandana/handkerchief and simulated leather boots, a black belt with a yellow X on a red background buckle and gun holster.

Commander X also wears a white cowboy hat with a similar X adornment as the belt and carries a six-shooter that slips easily into the holster and can be grasped by the either of the Commander's hands.

Stitching on the clothing is tight and secure, paint and plastic coloring is smooth with no sloppy edges and the cloths and accessories fit easily on the character without any binding.

The figure comes in a bubble pack with an illustration of the Commander on the front.
