Someone needs to tell Miss Greene that its because the captain has so many points of articulation,and can be positioned in over 101 poses he is an action figure.Not because you can change his clothes.Barbie is a doll because she’s done by a process known as BLOW MOLDING.

Why not just make Captain America and Spiderman dolls?

The original 1960′s Captain Action toy was created by the man who originally created G.I.Joe. He sold the rights of G.I. Joe to Hasbro and with that money created his new toy line

Oooh, James, you should pitch for the comic! Only no using other characters there, I’m sure.

Interesting… kind of makes Captain Action sort of a Christopher Chance (Human Target) for superheroes type deal. Could see it now, Lex Luthor has kryptonie raygun and blasts Superman. Only its revealed to be Captain Action in disguise, undercover to save Superman’s life. Etc..

Sorry though, but if there are clothes involved, the toy is a doll, not an action figure. :)

This is big fun, but why hasn’t there been a reprint of the Wally Wood/Gil Kane comic from the 60s? It was much better than it should have been and deserves more attention!
