Does anyone remember Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future?
It was a TV show in the 80’s, and in parts of it, you could take one of the
toy ships and shoot at badguys in the screen. They also released videotapes
with special missions you could play with.

I remember that show.. I also remember thinking, “man, this show is terrible”...
but then , I at the time I didn’t realise that they were diverting so much
effort into the toy franchise :-)

Here’s a box shot from the toy I used to have.

Here’s my LEGO version of the XT-7

And the whole folder.

And here are the figures I built.
I made a new version of Captain Jonathan Power with the wrong colors, but I
like him better this way.

Here’s Captain Jonathan power in his original colors. (close at least. haha)

Here’s Corporal Jennifer “Pilot” Chase. She and Power totally had the hots for
eachother. Even I knew that when I was like 3 years old. I had the hots for
her too though. Obviously, she’s a pilot.

Here’s Lieutenant Michael “Tank” Ellis. His specialty was pretty much just
kicking butt and blowing stuff up.

And this is Sergeant Robert “Scout” Baker. His specialty was... you know, I
don’t really remember what he did. I think he sat at the computers a lot...

And the evil genius villain, Lord Dread. He’s a bad bad man, and his action
figure came with this futuristic cutlass. He had a red mechanical eye thing
and he was half robot. He was basically a terminator darth vader pirate that
sat in a chair a lot and acted evil.

Well, these compare pretty well to the characters in the series... Well done :-)
| |
So let me know what you think about the minifigures and the ship.
Did anyone else love this show and these toys as much as I did?
Anyone remember it?
|
I remember it as being the first sci-fi show where after watching I sat down and
thought in all honesty, “I could do better than that myself”... but then I might
have been a bit older at the time, maybe 13 or 14 - thanks for the flashback
though :-)
Cheers,
