Wes is a great guy! Very talented! Here's his site: Classic Plastick

I bought some repro stuff from him...awesome stuff indeed.

I have a captain action with an all black body. Is it a variation or just from a certain set?

no thats a body switch from 77-78 Zem-21 star teams knight of darkness, Ideas Stars wars knock off line , which comprised of earlier toys lines modified & thrown together.

be carefull with the body ,the black pigiment is reactive and leeches out and stains clothings

Yeah- about the post-Star Wars "Star Team" line from Ideal Toys- they used molds from Captain Action (for humanoid body), Zeroids (for the R2 style robot), and Evel Knievel (for the human's spaceship). Maybe more. And the name "Star Team" itself came from an earlier line of Ideal toys (kid sized space helmets and astro gear).

Thanks, David and Anthony, for pluggin' my humble efforts. Yeah, Mego covered all the bases but Cap was first and >sniff< first in my childlike heart...! Gotta love his gawky face and extra long arms. Whatta guy!

Glad to see you around here Wes! Everybody here at Mego Museum deserve to know that you are to Ideal Captain Action figures what Paul "Dr. Mego" Clark" is to Mego Corp 8" figures... Yeah, yeah, I know... Too humble to say it that way... Just like the Doc... You guys are simply the best! Regards,

I'm a Captain Action fan and I've some of the italian production by Baravelli.
In Italy his name was Capitano Azione. Really cool figure specially in the great mistake of to put on sell with Captain America Jumpsuit and Captain Action accessories.
In Italy in those years we don't know well Captain America and Baravelli did a great mistake:

Seconded!

Though I would like to see SOMEONE reproducing Captain Action accessories in the same way Paul does for Mego.

that would be sweet, but I don't know if there is enough demand. I'd love to be able to pick up the Cpt. America shield for $10-$20 bucks. An original just went on ebay last week for like $89.00

[B-Lister]

probably not a lot of demand, but I think there'd be a bit of interest.

CA is still relatively unknown when it comes to toy collecting, but all it'd take is a little more exposure, methinks.

I too collect Vintage Captain Action as well,..they are Pre-Megos!!!!!

[Nostalgiabuff]

not only are they pre-mego, they are a perfect bridge between Mego and GI Joe
