I had a CA as a kid- I always thought his outfit made him look like a gas station attendant, and the doll's face reminds me of George Bush, Sr.!

I was/am a huge fan of the toy, accessories, villain and sidekick! Face did have a bit of an unusal look about it, but hey, he had masks! DC, Marvel, Green Hornet, Phantom, Lone Ranger....


I thought Maxx FX was gonna be so cool with Monster Costumes, until it fizzled. Have one of those MIB, which has been baby handled

Captain Action was before my time but I do own some of the repros Playing Mantis made.  I have Green Hornet, Flash Gordon and Ming.

I hoped they would make a Buck Rogers repro Capain Action.

I had the original CA, along with his alter-egos, Superman, Batman, The Phantom, Aquaman & Captain America.  Also, had Dr. Evil.  No idea what happened to them.  I might have to get a repro someday, just to cure that ol' nostalgia bug!

LOVED CA because of the masks, but never got one. I was a GI Joe guy, but I don't have any left from my dissipated youth.

In news of spousal coolness though, Nancy just surprised me with a vintage GI Joe with the red flocked hair and beard from the 70s.

Big Time Fan!

Captain Action (along with Best Of the West) were two of my favorite
non-monster toys when I was a kid.

Bought the two new Captain Action & Dr. Evil figures from Cast-A-Way &
like them a lot-



wish they'd make more stuff along this line....
Action Boy & an in scale Silver Streak would be really cool!
(never had a Silver Streak) 

I've also been picking up the comic which hasn't been very good,
I'm sad to say-
Hoping that vol. 2 will be better~

Joe tells me that their thinking of a diecast Silver Streak. There are a couple of things coming out this month in the way of CA Figures, but go to the site for details.

Now, in DC Comics, CA was named Clive Arno, so I'm guessing DC retained licensing on that?

The comic book is coming along slowly.  It is picking up readership.  Recently the publishers teamed Cap up with the Phantom (Lee Falk's creation) with some good results.  I hope the creations continue.  The Zeroid comic looks to be awesome as well.

No, I'd LOVE coming to your house. You, on the other hand, would have to watch me LIKE A HAWK!!
