Captain Action The Phantom Uniform Equipment Set (Ideal, 1966)....

Description

Captain Action The Phantom Uniform Equipment Set (Ideal, 1966). The Captain Action The Phantom Uniform Equipment Set, released by Ideal in 1966, was part of the highly collectible Captain Action toy line, which allowed kids to transform the base Captain Action figure into various iconic superheroes and pop culture characters. This set pays homage to The Phantom, the classic comic strip hero known as "The Ghost Who Walks," and faithfully recreates his signature look with automatic pistols, a rifle with scope, a knife, a pair of boots, and a skull brass knuckle press. The included belt with holsters shows degradation throughout. The set is secure in its original Captain Action packaging, which displays handling wear along the edges and corners, with noticeable scuffing throughout. The top and bottom panels feature dried yellowed tape seals, which are loose. There is a small surface tear in the bottom left corner and creasing along the top center, as well as in the upper left, upper right, and lower right corners. The cellophane window remains firmly attached, though it has a small dent in the lower center, along with scratching and scuffing. The back of the box exhibits water damage along the right side and center, in addition to more scuffing wear along the left side. The Captain Action The Phantom Uniform Equipment Set remains a nostalgic favorite among fans of classic superheroes and vintage action figures, representing the innovation and creativity of Ideal's Captain Action line.

More Information: Note: There is a pin under the chin on the mask that has been added to hold it in place.
