Captain Action Ideal 1967 Set Flash
Gordon ALL ORIGINAL
O.K. Sci-fi fans. Here's the one and only Captain Action version of
Flash Gordon!! 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,
Lone Ranger, etc). And now this entry: Flash Gordon!
