Captain Action Ideal 1967 Accessory
Batman Pal Robin Mask Action Boy ALL ORIGINAL
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, Marvel,
and other popular characters (read Green Hornet, Buck Rogers, Lone Ranger,
etc). All
vintage 60s. And now this entry: that 1/2 of the Dynamic Duo, that Boy
Wonder - Robin!
All Original!
A complete set includes:
Robin Mask
Robin Bodysuit (why Ideal felt the need to give him flesh color pants
instead of actual shorts is beyond us!)
