More about Captain Future
Captain Future is Curtis Newton, a scientist and adventurer who hunts interstellar criminals across space. The character appeared in 1940 in a pulp magazine of his own, conceived by the editors Mort Weisinger and Leo Margulies; most of the stories were written by Edmond Hamilton.
In Europe the material became best known through the anime series by Toei Animation, which ran in Japan in 1978 and 1979 and was dubbed into German and French, among other languages. The crew consists of the robot Grag, the android Otto and Professor Simon Wright, a living brain; their spaceship is the Comet.
The range includes the crew figures from High Dream's A Legion of Heroes line and the diecast model of the Comet from the Metaltech line.
