Nice pics of the new Captain Action and the basic Cap America and Spidey suits.

Can you link me to a Super articulated Joe body? Thanks in advance!

Here is a link to a pic of a SA modern Joe. I used a Joe with a little less articulation on him for my comparison shots of the Spiderman outfit and it worked pretty well. You just have to take the hands off and push the gloves up on the forearms until you get the position you want. I would also note that the smaller Joe heads look better with the secret identity CA masks as they don't push the ears out quite so much and make them look like bobble heads.
However, I would say my Spidey mask looked a little loose on the modern Joe head.

If I were to kitbash a body for one of these guys, I would probably use the Playing Mantis body and head and then put some modern Joe arms on it. But I actually really like the way these look on PM bodies the way they are.

Am I the only one that thinks Thor kinda looks like Arnold as Conan?

I cant afford to many of these but Ive gotta have that Thor.

Just picked up a set. Put the Spidey costume on. Had a rough time with the gloves and mask, but in the end I like it. If only Round2 would sell a basic Captain Action for about $20, then I would buy a couple more.

These look great!!
I didn't know these were out yet. I'll have to check TRU today when we go. I have a few of the PL vintage replica packaged toys and these will look good with them.

I just got back from TRU and got Captain Action and a Spiderman outfit, there were no Captain America's around.

These look great.

Do these suits pill up easily like the Mattel RA Super hero suits did when you touch them???

I haven't heard anything and I haven't had a problem with them.

How do you put the gloves on the PM or Ideal CA figures? Thanks!

Unless you pull the hands off, which I do NOT recommend, you can't.

I would have to respectfully disagree with the Werewolf.

Pulling the hands from a Cap Action doll is pretty easy. Some of the Ideal ones you find may even be hands free already

You can pull them cold, but they do come out a bit easier if you heat up the forearm first. Either with hot water (the boil and pop method), or a concentrated hairdryer hot air blast for a few minutes. You should be able to pull the wristpins holding the hands in the forearm right out.

Then it is just a matter of pushing the gloves up on the forearm. They will stay put with friction. Caveat - I do not know if there will be any dissimilar plastics type reaction with the forearm and the material that the gloves are made of. But, PM cap action bodies don't have that much of a value, so it is not too much of a risk. imho

I am planning on displaying my Round2 costumes on PM cappy bodies as that is what Cap Action looks like to me and, after experimenting with various armatures, I keep coming back to that look as my favorite.

have a GOOD time - rche

Great info.
