NEWS: Captain Action 3 3/4'' Figure Prototype Revealed!

OK, so it's still a digital prototype but this new image gives us a taste of what to expect when Captain Action makes his smaller-scale debut (hopefully) later this year, courtesy of Zica Toys!

NEWS: 3 3/4'' Captain Action Figures!

ZICA Toys is very happy to be working with Captain Action Enterprises on bringing the exciting characters of the Captain Action universe into 3.75″ retro figure format! This scale will allow us to do a lot of really cool stuff with the property in addition to just making the action figures. My favorite thing about the smaller scale figures when I was a kid was the vehicles and playsets that went with them, and I can definitely see some exciting possibilities for these with Captain Action!” said Craig Owen, owner of ZICA.

Captain Action Enterprises, headed up by Ed Catto and Joe Ahearn, has already been producing the classic 12-inch line, styled after the original 1960s figures, with costumes for various Marvel characters. They’re even planning an animated series, as well as a line of DC outfits. And they’ve already been publishing comics with Dynamite.

“We’re excited to jump into the this exciting segment, and have been very impressed with the Six Million Dollar Man toys from ZICA,” Catto said.

Plans call for the first wave to include characters such as Captain Action, Action Boy, Dr. Evil and the Silver Streak.

“We’re also very excited to work with ZICA to develop vehicles and playsets,” Ahearn said. “And we will also be exploring the development of vehicles such as the Silver Streak, Captain Action’s amphibious car, in other scales and formats.”

REVIEW: Captain Action Deluxe Figure

Produced by Round 2/CA Enterprises | Released 2012

Who is Captain Action?

A master of disguise, a superspy out to save a world that doesn't know it need saving!

Former leader of the ACTION Directorate, a covert government agency that fought an alien infestation known as the Red Crawl for decades. The alien threat was thought long vanquished, so no one notices when Earth is finally conquered: government leaders are clandestinely infected by mind-controlling alien nanotechnology and Earth is secretly and gradually brought under control of an alien presence.

The one man who discovers the insidious infiltration, the one man with the skills and knowledge to defeat the alien presence. With access to the ACTION Directorate's high technology - including advance, experimental energy sources and holo-technology - Captain Action sets out to expose the evil, otherworldly infestation and bring it to justice.

NEWS: AFI Showcases Arctic Adventurer Captain Action

I'm a fairly rational sort but I always find moments of synchronicity interesting. The reason I'm telling you this is that last night as my wife and I were talking about my toy collection (yes, she's awesome) I mentioned that the one thing missing from it was a Captain Action figure and that it would indeed be a very welcome addition (and you know, Christmas will be upon us very soon). This morning I wake to the news that Action Figure Insider has a new shot of the upcoming Arctic Adventurer Captain Action as their lead story - a weird coincidence, given the previous night's conversation.

Time for another chat with Mrs Iok, methinks...
