Description/Condition

Item Background (General)

O.K. Superhero fans. Here's the one and only Captain Action!! Before Mego was even a thought, Ideal's answer to the ever popular GI Joe, Captain Action was the first action figure that was truly action. Prior to this, superhero figures were relegated to army men type of figures (check out the Marx line of statues and Ideal's one playset figures) and tin wind up toys. Amazingly, Ideal was able to pull off what could be almost impossible today - a cross licensing of characters from both DC, Marvel, and other popular characters (read Green Hornet, Buck Rogers, Lone Ranger, etc). Be sure to look at all our listings…all vintage 60s. And now this entry….the scarce Captain Action in parachute box!!

Original contents included an actual working parachute, sword, cap, belt, and boots. And the captain, of course.

Condition (Specific to this item listing)
True old stock. Never used. Contents near mint. Chest decal retains 2 of 3 arrow head point extensions (common factory error - again this has NOT been played with). Accessories still sealed in 'Hong Kong' labeled bag. Original (almost always missing) cardboard insert! Box nice and solid with no split or repaired corners. Hard to get a nicer one!!

Note: We've had a recent rash of people using the Buy It Now option and THEN asking questions post sale. PLEASE PLEASE ask all questions PRIOR to using the Buy It Now option. Also...EVERYTHING WE HAVE IS INCLUDED IN PICTURES. IF IT'S NOT IN THE PICTURE, IT'S NOT INCLUDED.

ALL ORIGINAL!!

100% VINTAGE * 100% AUTHENTIC * 100% ALL ORIGINAL * NO REPRODUCTIONS *
NO KNOCK OFFS!

PLEASE NOTE - PRE-BIDDING TERMS

**Excluding special clearance, as-is auctions, and where noted on rare occasions, all our auctions are 100% general, authentic vintage items. We DO NOT manufacture, buy, nor sell 'high quality repros' (or reproductions of any other quality for that matter!). We believe the value and desirability of the collectibles we sell is in not only their craftsmanship, but also in their heritage.**

- Yes, we do accept returns (click to see specifics below)
- Yes, we do combine shipping (click to see specifics below)
- We reserve the right to refuse bids by buyers with excessive negative feedback.

***In the event of ANY eBay system issues that prevent users from bidding at any time within the last 2 ending hours of our auctions, we reserve the right to cancel the auction and re-list it.

- In the effort to provide you with greatest possible amount of knowledge regarding our items, we use extreme close ups. This does tend to over accentuate dust and minor flaws. Please make a note that our items almost always look much better in person.

- Items factory sealed 30, 40 or more years ago, will often come apart from their backings/ties due simply from age (not abuse). If this has occurred prior to our receiving the item, we will make note of this during the listing description. However, if it occurs during shipping/transit, the shipper WILL NOT reimburse and we CANNOT be held accountable for this occurrence and cannot take a return on the item.

- We realize our terms are somewhat long winded. Unfortunately, it is the 1% of bidders that cause 99% of our aggravation - and has made it necessary to spell everything little thing out. If you are part of the 99%, you'll find us fair, extremely reasonable, and you'll appreciate the extremes we will go to to resolve any issues. However, if any of our terms are unacceptable to you, PLEASE DON'T BID/BUY.

Thank you for bidding!

RETURNS

L & L Collectables Return Policy:

We do our best to present accurate, detailed information about every item we sell. It is our desire to provide strong customer satisfaction and a very positive experience for our customers. However, it is the responsibility of the bidder to carefully review all item photos and description and ask appropriate questions. With this in mind, we do realize that differences of opinions can occur. We, too, tire of other sellers' 'you bought it, too bad' attitude. Therefore, we do offer unconditional returns. Here's specific return rules:

Please alert us that you wish to return the item. The item must be postmarked back to us within 5 days of receipt and in the exact condition it was sent out it. Refunds fall into the following categories:

Buy It Now or Fixed price purchases - 100% refund of bid price
Standard Auction - auction ending bid price less 15% restocking fee or $10 whichever is greater. We will, and have, refunded 100% of bid price if item was significantly not as described or has had a serious omission (at our discretion).
As-Is lots - sorry, these are special lots and we do NOT accept returns on these.

If a return is needed, the buyer must contact us by email at auction@landlcollectables.com or by phone at (408) 998-5942. Buyers are responsible for ALL return shipping and insurance costs. Insurance is required and must cover the eBay final sale.

We will leave negative feedback for any buyer leaving us unwarranted negative feedback and will block any bidder who abuses our Return Policy or who is a non-paying bidder.

ABOUT US

L & L Collectables is a small, family run business. We've been buying and selling collectible toys, dolls, models, and related items since the early 1980s. We're located in sunny Northern California and have been attending the local antique, toy, and doll shows for over 20 years now (has it really been that long!?). In the world of collecting, 'small business' often translates to poor customer service - we hope our eBay feedback and history will dismay any concerns you may have. Feel free to contact us via email or phone any time - we actually miss human contact! We always do our best to treat our customers as we would like to be treated. Please see our About Me page for more about us.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting us!
