I wanted to share something that I pitched to the Captain Action people a few years ago. The idea was to do a line of action figures based on Captain Action in the 3.75" scale with vehicles and playsets. As you can see from the prototype image I was wanting to keep the design very retro, similar to what MEGO did with the Pocket Super Heroes. Unfortunately it wasn't a direction that the people at CA Enterprises wanted to take the character in so the line never got made.

Thats a great Captain Action figure! I wish you could have made that line. Action Boy, dr. evil too, the Silver streak, CA Headquarters! I wish CA Enterprises let you do it- I would have gotten them!
Very nice job- thanks for showing it to us!Comment

Yeah, I had a lot of big plans for the line. I actually bought a Silver Streak to use a reference for the 3.75" version.Comment

Very cool idea. I don't know if it would have worked though if the figure didn't sport modern articulation. So many 3 3/4 scale collectors aren't into vintage. They like modern-vintage, like the new GI Joe 25th stuff moreso than something designed to be exactly like the old lines.
But I probably would have gotten a few. I love the CA concept and characters. Great face sculpt too.Comment

It looks great. Is it an all new sculpt or a kitbash? The parts look really familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment
