Monster Forge, in collaboration with Longbox Heroes and BigBadWorkshop, is proud to announce the debut of Sky Captain as part of the all-new Longbox Heroes Prestige 1/12 scale collectible figure line.

A tribute to retro-futuristic aviation heroes, the Sky Captain figure brings vintage pulp aesthetics together with modern toy engineering. Created in close partnership with Sky Captain visionary Kevin Conran, the figure captures the spirit of classic adventure cinema with stunning detail and premium craftsmanship.

“I couldn’t be more excited,” said Shannon Eric Denton, founder of Monster Forge. “Not only am I a huge fan of the genre, but working directly with Kevin Conran again—after producing The Art of Sky Captain book—makes this figure feel like the next chapter in that creative journey.”

"I'm a huge toy fan obviously, but I was also lucky enough to work on the Sky Captain film," added Bill Murphy. "So I'm incredibly excited to revisit Sky Captain again, but this time as an action figure.”

This release marks the beginning of Monster Forge’s collaboration with the Longbox Heroes Prestige line, a new initiative developed by BigBadWorkshop to bring iconic characters and imaginative worlds to collectors with elevated design and storytelling.

As part of the launch, the Prestige line will also include officially licensed characters from The Rocketeer universe, reimagined with fresh designs and high-end articulation. For Denton, this aspect is personal: “I was lucky to call Rocketeer creator Dave Stevens a friend and even worked on the Rocketeer Jr. show at Disney. Being part of this world again is truly a joy.”

BigBadWorkShop’s Longbox Heroes Prestige line will be available exclusively through BigBadToyStore.com.

Stay tuned for additional reveals, pre-order info, and release dates as the full wave of figures is cleared for takeoff.

Adventure is in the air. Get ready to soar with Sky Captain and the Longbox Heroes Prestige line.
