Getting into Captain Action Tips ?

[B-Lister]

Yeah, I've passed on Ideal Phantom costumes a couple of times now, because the PM is simply better looking, and I find it pointless to buy something that I have no intention of displaying.

Agreed.

if I ran Cast-A-Way, I'd be cranking out 12" Versions of some of the Captain's outfits as well, because there are some CA fans who will not be interested in Cap going 8".

CA is a hard line to just start up today and collect. Good luck.

Hey Batman Professor, now I know where your name comes from... Where did you get that giant Batmobile for your 12" Captain Action Batman and Robin figures? Thanks for sharing!

It pops up on ebay from time to time for about $200.00

I kept mine pretty stock and simple, so it looks like something Irwin produced back in the day. I've seen some customizers GO TO TOWN on this piece, and it looks grand. There was one on ebay last year from Heroes Club that was amazing, painted and accessorized to the max. They wanted a PILE of money for it.

seeing the EBaylisting makes me realize this ISNT the one I saw at Wonderfest. That one was poorly sculpted. I can imagine going to town on a 1/6th mobile. What COULDNT you do at 1/6th?

I had the whole Playing Mantis line of Captain Action. So I dont know the original very well other than what I have read.

I would rather have an original phantom cowl with a Kato mask .

Really wished they had redone Buck Rogers. Would LOVE to see the Captain Action Gear . Why not? No licences?

Ca has better hands than GI Joe but I HATED those shoiulder sockets.

I've got one, it was from James Desimone, a big name in the vintage Joe community. He makes them as well as some other vehicles, like a repro Panther Jet. Still need to work on it though. It comes with the windows, wheels, pipe tubing. I think I got it for $125 several years ago.

Awesome I've got most of Desimones books. I remember back when he was pushing to get his Tank made.

Love to have that Batmobile but Too big. Whirley bat? TV Batcycle?

My Christmas present from my wife came in, and she let me have it early!



I need two more pieces (Jet Mortar and Parachute,) and my CA collection is COMPLETE!

Man - that comm is super clean.

Is it restored or right out of the past?

[The Batman Professor]

The wire on the right is a replacement, and I had to glue one of the antenna where it was broken about two-thirds of the way toward the center, otherwise everything else is original.

[The Batman Professor]

One more...

Interesting to see the vintage accessories on the 'serious' repaint on the PM cappy. It is a totally different feel than seeing that jacket full of knives and guns on the befuddled but happy Ideal sculpt/paint.
