    I don't remember this Mego commercial

    I have lost count of how many times I walked past the 12 inch Cap in toy stores in the late 70's and very early 80's. But I do not recall this commercial with him in it. Interesting!

        hulks got really strong leg muscles which can make him able to leap great distances which maybe some people mistake as flying not sure why they made capt with fly away action.

              It's all good!

                    That makes me want to rip open my sealed fly away action accessories. Fighting the urge.

                      I was always curious about something with that big headed Cap....

                      I don't actually own one of those so I can't tell, but would his head look better proportioned on a more muscular 12" mego body like the Buck Rogers Tiger Man? I know that Tiger Man looks alot larger when standing next to my KISS megos, or so it seems. Just wondered if anyone ever tried switching out bodies on their Cap for that reason?

                      I suspect his head is still just too darn large, regardless. That thing looks massive, lol!

                        Actually his head IS on a muscular body. He's just got a fat head...But it's a Mego and it's Cap, so we just have to turn the other cheek and embrace with love.

                          Ok see that's what I wasn't sure of, whether it was on a big muscular body like Tiger Man or a slimmer one.

                          And even with his mutant head I would gladly love to own one of these someday!!!

                            You're pretty much correct. I tried it once, using a 12" Spider-Man body and well, it was better but still not that great.

                              Did they ever release a muscular body Cap? I've only come across the skinny bodied ones
