    Captain Action on vacation or what the??????

    Gotta a mystery and need some help solving it. I found this Uber cool Ideal plastic boat and am wondering exactly what it is.So far I have been told that it might be a smaller version of The childsized Captain Action raft that Ideal made. Anyone have a Ideal catalog pic showing this? Sample? I need the collective minds here, what ya all got?

    This is so hilarious! Like something Robot Chicken would come up with. Looking forward to hearing any info from others.

      Here's a shot of the Captain Action swim ring...



      I wonder if they made it to go with their Misty line??

        Can't help with the mystery, but that is so amazing! Condition looks superb! And really, what a great idea for cost effective vehicles.... Inflatable! Lots of possibilities there.

          Waiting to hear back from Andrew M. He says that Ideal made a series of 1/6 scale inflatables maybe not this one but similar?

          Hedji,
          The inflatables would have been a great idea for kids. I loved the Gijoe Spy Island black inflatable boat as a kid. These would have been cool. So far the 70s Big Red boat has been best for 1/6 scale that I have found.

          Dr. Quest,
          No idea if Ideal's Tressy, Tammy, or Misty. The design makes me think more Captain Action than those lines though.

            I couldn't find anything to shed any light on the mystery, but I did find a pic that shows there was at least one more color scheme.

              That's really cool, I've never seen one before. It does almost look like it was made for Action Boy.

                    Pic's small but I see a kind'a yellowish "band" across where the windshield goes. It's probably the windshield.

                      I agree, that would be a cool vehicle for Aquaman to race around in.

                        That was the only pic I could find and I tried to blow it up a bit, but it distorts. However, there is definitely a windshield. Just really hard to see with the angle from which the picture was taken.

                          Good eyes! You are right! That windsheild is hard to see in pic for sure!
