Captain
Action Super Queen 1966 Ideal Heroines Supergirl Superman Cousin
O.K. Superhero fans. 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, Marvel, and other popular characters (read Green Hornet, Buck Rogers,
Lone Ranger, etc).
Considered a companion line to the Captain Action dolls and marketed as
one of the 4 Comic Heroines, Ideal put out 4 figures - Batgirl, Wonder
Woman, Mera (Aquaman's wife), and Supergirl. These are better known
as "Super Queens" as marked on the rear of the box.
The first Supergirl doll! Originally included Superboy's dog Krypto
(guess Clark was out of town!) and Linda Danvers civilian outfit.
Incredibly hard to find today.
Don't blame us for the accessories - Ideal was a bit strange with what they
included!
