costume variations list

[thesharkman]

Is there a list of all the variations for the different costumes somewhere? I don't have my Eury book handy; so, I couldn't look in it at the time of this posting ie Fury had the 3 different masks or the two colors for the canyon suit Thanks!

What toy line are you referring to?

[warlock664]

I assume he’s referring to the vintage Ideal Captain Action sets (Sgt Fury & Steve Canyon)?

Off the top of my head, here are the variations that I can think of:

1) Sgt Fury - 3 different masks: 1) clean shaven, 2) beard and 3) moustache

2) Phantom - 2 different guns: 1) revolvers, 2) automatic

3) Steve Canyon - 2 different uniform colors: 1) light green, 2) darker olive color

4) Aquaman - 2 lip colors on mask: 1) white, 2) pink

5) Parachute - two different versions: 1) backpack version, 2) harness only version

6) basic costume - 1) blue, 2) purple variant
to be continued....

[The Batman Professor]

Here's my first issue CA Batman that's been in my collection since Christmas 1966 (gloves came later.) There are a couple of significant differences from later production runs, most notably the blue gray bodysuit. Also, the cape clasp is white and the stripes on the cape are very faint, with soft edges:

Lone Ranger

• Red shirt, black pants
• Blue shirt, blue pants
• I've seen blue shirt, black pants, but I don't think it's been seen carded

Flash Gordon

• Spacesuit, two oxygen holes in the front
• Spacesuit, no oxygen holes in the front

Action Boy

• Blue/Red suit
• Spacesuit

Captain Action Figures

• Two neck variations are available. A two piece neck which was the first issue and a one piece which was the second version
• The second issue figures also came with the updated vinyl wrist and elbow joints which helped reduce the breakage of those joints. A number of early Captain Action figures are found with broken elbows and that was corrected with the updated material
