Captain Action 3.75" Prototype

man i would've loved that

The 3.75" scale has always been my favorite and at some point I still want to do something in that scale.

Why not Buck Rogers? Do 'em as detailed as the 25th Anniversary Joe's and I think you got a winner!

Was the problem with CA the lack of the dress-up possibilities at the small scale? I know Color Change Action Figures never really caught on, but a swapable head and color change body might give the disguise effect desired.

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.

The head does sort of resembles a couple of 3 3/4" Joe figures...?

It's a combination kitbash and Photoshop. The head is an M. Bison G.I. Joe figure, the body is a MEGO Pocket Super Heroes Lex Luthor, the legs are a MEGO Pocket Super Heroes Superman, and the arms are a vintage Star Wars Imperial Commander.

I'm considering doing a more detailed version of the 3.75" Buck Rogers but nothing has been put in writing yet.

CA Enterprises didn't want to go with a vintage/retro look. They wanted a more modern design which I had no interest in doing. I respect their decision but I really wish I had gotten the opportunity to test the waters with a limited run of Captain Action and Dr. Evil.

i'd definitely be down for a 3.75 buck rogers line too!!

Cool, I thought the head looked like Bison. Neat mix of parts.

I really wish they had let you do the retro line. I am much more interested in the retro/ original Captain Action then a more modern version. I want all the CA toys to be retro!

Pure awesome!

If ever you decided to go ahead & make some molds, I'd definitely be on board & throw money your way.

Thanks!

I had high hopes for this line but unfortunately it never got a chance.

Looks like Shocker Toys is making a 7" Capt. Action, and the prototype looks TERRIBLE. Maybe you should contact CA Enterprises again. Maybe their minds have changed a bit. Your 3.75 Capt. is the bee's knees man!
