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.
That is so cool. Too bad it never got made.
I made a custom carded Captain Action from a Super Powers Superman figure. It's in the Captain Action book I believe.

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!
I'd love to see a picture of the figure since I never got the book.
The Captain Action prototype is the only thing I've done. The 3.75" scale has always been my favorite and at some point I still want to do something in that scale.

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.
That is awesome and I would certainly buy them!
Very cool. I would buy them, too.

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.
