1/6 Scale Captain Action as TONTO the Lone Ranger's Sidekick 12" Action Figure (1998 Playing Mantis)
This limited edition, original reproduction of Captain Action comes dressed in an authentic replica of his 1960's Tonto costume, complete with bow, arrows and quiver, rifle, knife and eagle. First released in 1966, Captain Action was the world's most versatile superhero. At the time of his debut, nine sets of costumes and masks were made so Captain Action could adopt the personas of popular heroes from television and comics. In 1966 a Lone Ranger mask and costume were released and a Tonto costume and mask followed in 1967. When Indian Brave, Tonto, comes across the scene of six ambushed Texas rangers, he rescues the survivor and nurses him back to health. While helping the stranger, Tonto recognizes him as the boy who once saved his own life. With the friendship renewed, Tonto calls the Ranger, "Demo Sabe", meaning "trusted friend". With the help of Tonto, Kino Sabe regains his strength and assumes the new identity of the Lone Ranger. Together they patrol the Old West protecting the innocent and bringing outlaws to justice. Look for Captain Action with the mask and costume of Tonto's trusted friend - the Lone Ranger, and other favorite superhero and comic characters. Be sure to add the original Captain Action and Dr. Evil to your collection, too. These collectible figures are destined to bring back the fun of childhood.
