Cool Toy Of The Week: Captain Action
In observance of our anniversary week here at PopCult, our pick for Cool Toy Of The Week is one of my favorites from my childhood. In fact, I wrote about Captain Action and his nemesis, Dr. Evil, last year right here and here. The reason I’m picking Captain Action again is because Robby Reed, over at Dial “B” For Blog, is in the midst of a six-part series of articles on the good Captain, and I can just link to it, and let him do all the work. Read the first installment here, the second here, and then check back to his blog every day for the next four parts!

Radio Free and the other gazz shows are great - keep it up

I’ve wanted a shirt like this since I was a kid and had the Captain Action with parachute that always wound up on the roof. I’ve written about the good Captain here, and here. Dressed sort of like Captain Action, I can be seen abusing his nemesis Dr. Evil in the animation intro. […]
