Today I'm really tired from not getting any sleep because of the holiday stress. So, I'm just gonna post this cool photo that was swiped from a vintage 1967 sales catalog. The pic features a vintage toy ad for Ideal's Captain Action & Action Boy Dolls, outfits, & car!! For younger people who have NO idea who C.A. is he was a really great toy line made by the Ideal Toy Company in the 1960's. Basically he was kinda like a G.I.Joe doll except you could buy "Superhero Costumes" for him to wear & he could be Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Spiderman, Captain America, Green Hornet, The Lone Ranger, etc...He had a sidekick named Action Boy who also had superhero costumes like Robin, Tonto, Superboy, etc...Also featured in the ad is a vehicle called the SILVER STREAK AMPHIBIAN which is extremely RARE & highly sought after by toy collectors. I thought I would share this toy ad because it shows the Batman & Robin outfits which are really cool!! I hope this brings back alot of fond memories for older collectors & newbies should do a little research on this great vintage toy too! As always you can click on the small picture up above for a larger, more detailed, photo!! Be sure to check out the BAT-BLOG ARCHIVES for many more Vintage Batman Toy news!
