USA Metal Hero: Captain Power!

Man I had all the Lazer Tag stuff as well. I had those sensor things, the guns, a vest. Good times.

Definitely remember the commercials for them as well.

Wow... I've never seen this before. Didn't know Cap Power rocked Japan and looks a lot like a Tokusatsu series when put with this music. :castlerock:

Oh man! Keith you just rang a bell in me. I didn't realize too that this series reached Japan and it looks so tokusatsu.

Before there was Power Rangers RPM or Terminator Salvation there was....... CAPTAIN POWER AND THE SOLDIERS OF THE FUTUER!

Yeah. That show is EPIC. And I just can't believe that this was treated with great promos.

Hulu should get on this:

Man, I still remember that floating ball that rotates around, and gives Lord Dredd advice. His name was Overmind by the way.

I actually re-discovered this show a few weeks back when I was in a nostalgia mood and downloaded the whole series (except for episodes 2 and 11 -- no links for them... I'm guessing they must be down :disappoin). I used to watch re-runs in the 90s.

I found the series (except for those 2 episodes) in a rapidshare search engine...

My favorite part of the show was when the people end up digitized.

Same...

Also, I actually like Lord Dread more than Captain Power -- even as a kid. He was so badass compared to some rag tag "rebellion" resistance force. Same with Terminator and Star Wars... the villains are so much coller than the good guys.

I still have my figures of Lord Dread, Soaron, and Blastaar.

They're currently displayed with my Terminators and Cylons (bottom right corner of the pic)... :buttrock:
