Captain
Action Ideal 1967 Accessory Action Boy Panther ORIGINAL
O.K. Superhero fans. Here's the one and only Captain Action pal -
Action Boy!! 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) and Marvel (Spiderman, Captain
America, Sgt. Fury), and other popular characters (Green Hornet, Buck
Rogers, Lone Ranger, etc). Action Boy was his teenage side-kick and his
costumed outfits included Robin, Superboy, and Aqualad.
This listing is for an all original Action Boy Panther, Khem! He was
included with both the standard and the Space Suit versions of Action
Boy!
