Captain Action Ideal 1968 Set Original
Uniform Purple Blue Transitional Variant
O.K. Superhero fans. Here's the one and only Captain Action!!
Before Mego was even a thought, Ideal's answer to the ever popular GI Joe,
Captain Action was the first action figure that was truly action. Prior to
this, superhero figures were relegated to army men type of figures (check
out the Marx line of statues and Ideal's own playset figures) and tin wind
up toys. Amazingly, Ideal was able to pull off what could be almost
impossible today - a cross licensing of characters from both DC (Superman,
Batman, Aquaman, Robin), Marvel (Spider-Man, Captain America, Sgt. Fury),
and other popular characters (read Green Hornet, Buck Rogers, Lone Ranger,
etc). And now this entry: the scarce Captain Action in scarce PURPLE
suit variation!!
Nice tough, vintage set. Yes, we realize that the purple variation is a
blue one that color shifted over the decades. It's a fairly scarce
occurrence and makes a unique display! This is even more unique. It's a
transitional one that's only partially color shifted. It's really cool to
see the purple/blue color variation throughout the uniform. A
complete set comes with:
- Captain Action Figure
- Uniform, One Piece Jumpsuit Style, Purple variant
- Cap
- Sword
- Belt
- Ray Gun/Pistol
