23 March: Playing Mantis Captain Action "Dr. Evil as Ming the Merciless" figure
Playing Mantis attempted a reboot of the circa 1966-1968 IDEAL Toy Company Captain Action line around 1999-2000. As you can see, they put a lot of effort into creating the retro comic book style packaging design. The costumes and accessories are also well-designed and of reasonably high quality. Unfortunately, the design of the figures themselves is somewhat lacking. Check out those over-long gorilla arms!
An interesting feature of the Captain Action figures is... or was... that the heads are actually rubber masks that can be removed and swapped out with other figures.
The artwork on the packaging is styled after the original artwork of Alex Raymond from the Flash Gordon comic strip of the 1930s. Ming the Merciless was the arch-nemesis of sci-fi space hero Flash Gordon.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
