    Any Other Captain Action collectors

    Hi

    I am new to the board and aside from restarting to collect Mego's, I am also collecting Captain Action stuff. Just wanted to see if there is anyone else

    I have a few CA things. Batman suit, mask, cape, boots, belt, batarang, drill. A Superboy costume and mask. Robin's cape. Orignal CA outfit (and hat) Action Boy outfit, boots and belt. And then quite a bit of the PM stuff.

    I'm tempted by CA, but since it was before my time, the nostalgia isn't there. That's why I prefer Mego. Plus there is more to go after from Mego.

    Welcome!!!

      I so want to get a couple Captain Action figures with costumes. Mostly love to get Spiderman, Batman and Robin. I don't care to get every little misc item just the basic costumes. But I always get outbid lol, one of these days

        Mostly have the PM revival stuff but I do have some odds and ends of the real Ideal pieces. And, of course, I do the repro costume boxes for the Captain Action and Action Boy costumes as well as Super Queens.

          I have a few CA items including an original complete figure and a complete Dr. Evil. Since it was the same scale as G.I. Joe I often find CA parts mixed in when I buy Joe lots so I save them seperately. The Captain Action line never really seemed to lend itself to collectibility like others did. There are a lot of small parts, the plastic was brittle and melted easily, and it just wasn't around for that long. It was an awesome concept and it's a shame Playing Mantis could not get it revived.

                I've had several complete Captain Action figures at one time or another. I still miss my Robin figure. He was something special.

                Had a really nice Captain America once too. He looks pretty Badass with his long gun.

                One day, when I finish my WGSH and POTA collections, I may venture back into the realm of CA. Maybe this time I'll be more careful. Those accessories are fragile and you'd cringe to know the ones I've broken.

                  Also collect capt action. Have mainly the main characters: spiderman, capt america, dr evil, flash gordon, batman, aquaman, and the plain capt himself. Hope to get an aqualad and robin in the near future and hopefully a supes preferably without the common vinyl tear to his cape on the neckline.

                      I was still feverishly hunting for the CA Captain America and Spiderman when Mego's first appeared in Kmarts. Action Boy's STILL my favorite and have both Robin and Aqualad sets. I did buy up a lot of CA stuff a few years back like Aquaman, Batman, Spidey and Capt America, but I didn't really like the Spidey set after all my trouble of getting a run-free suit and custom gloves.

                      I still have Cap on the Joe WWII Harley like the old Tales of Suspense comics.. Oh, and of course a PM Doctor Evil in the lab coat ~ He simply rocks..
                      Peace.. Through Superior Firepower.

                        Gotta have the first Superhero Action Figures. Big fan of Mego, Captain Action, Joe, Henshin Cyborg, AHI, Tomland, Cool KOs, and Freakies.

                          Wow, my CA collection has grown quite a bit in a year! I now have a vintage Action Boy and Robin costume and mask. And Aquaman costume/mask and Captain America costume/mask. Working on the packaging for the Cast-A-Way Captain Action figures really got me more and more into it. I blame David and Jason!!!

                              I have a few pieces to the Batman suit. Still working on a complete Batman and Robin.

                              Here's a pick of my repro CA decals:



                              6 year UV Gold mirror chrome vinyl and a great way to up-grade an old figure. The set includes Superman & cape, Superboy & cape, Supergirl & cape, Krypto, Batman & Robin. Anybody needs some just drop me a PM.
