Michael Eury does it all with this book–he talks about his own experiences as a child when from the time he got his first Captain Action figure–with two left hands!–and then he goes through all sorts of details about the creation of Captain Action in the 1960s, the accessories, the stories behind the characters used for his costumes–like Superman, Batman, Flash Gordon, and all the rest, and the failed line of Super Queens, female action figures designed as a companion line for Captain Action–and well, there’s really nothing like this I’ve ever seen before:a book where the writer covers everything!

But Michael Eury keeps right on going, to the Captain Action comic book of the 1960s, and into the future with the resurrection of a smaller Captain Action in the 1990s, to the customized versions of Captain Action suits by fans to create new characters never used by the manufacturers, like Green Lantern and Dr. Doom.

If there’s a flaw in the book, it’s that Eury doesn’t do enough analysis about why Captain Action failed, not once, but twice, probably due to poor design the first time–despite all the great costumes and marketing, CAPTAIN ACTION HIMSELF NEVER LOOKED LIKE A SUPERHERO!!!–and probably because he was smaller and weaker looking when he was reproduced in the 1990s!!!

But even so, MICHAEL EURY’S CAPTAIN ACTION IS THE BEST HOBBY BOOK EVER!!!
