Captain
Action Ideal 1967 Set Dr. Evil Dr. Thorpe Caucasion Mask
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). And now this entry:
Captain Action's Arch Enemy - Dr. Evil originally came with:
Uniform, 2 piece , Labelled "Ideal"
Ray Gun
Sandals with "HONG KONG" on under-soles
Medallion with Chain
This set includes Dr. Evil with the Dr. Thorpe mask!
