    Playing mantis figures...

    I was just able to get the repro retro Cap in the long box, and he looks great with the extra paint on his face. Frees up my other KB exclusive Cap for the Phantom outfit I plan on displaying...

    But man...never figured it'd be such a pain to find nude Captain Action bodies!! Do the outfits stretch enough to fit on other bodies??
    Wanted:

    Diamond select Spider-man hands. Long shot, I know...but ya never know..

    They'll fit most vintage GI Joes. Most of the Captain Action photography in Greenburg's Guide to Super Hero Collectibles are actually the costumes being modeled by GI Joes.
    Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figures

      That's good to know. As much as I like the Captain Action body, I do wish shoulders and the arms were a bit larger.

        the boots do not fit on GI Joe feet though. Joe has a bigger foot

          I think I still have some repro CA and Dr. Evil figures in the box. When they went on clearance at TRU, I was buying them up, preparing for the DC Comics Costume sets that never came to be. I tried to move the costume to a Blue Box Toys figure, and the costume sort of fit, but swapping with other 12" toys lines never worked very good for me.
