Captain Action Ideal 1967 Accessory Set Jet Mortar
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 (Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Robin), Marvel (Spiderman, Captain America, Sgt. Fury), and other popular characters (read Green Hornet, Buck Rogers, Lone Ranger, etc). Ideal didn't stop there. They also issued equipment sets that the ole Captain could use and were unique to him.
This is the Inter-Spacial Inter-Galactic Jet Mortar
