If you grew up in the 60's like I did, you know about Captain Action, the action figure from the now-defunct Ideal Toy company, who could change into a number of superheroes, like Superman, Batman, Captain America, and more.
Years later, he was re-released by the Praying Mantis toy company, and has now been picked up by Captain Action Enterprises, a group of guys my age, who love the toy line and are offering a number of new Captain Action toys and products.
One of those new releases is the 'Captain Action Arctic Adventurer' figure, featuring the good Captain in a new blue and white thermal costume, with white gloves, hat, and accessories. While this figure has a more articulate body, it also has a new face sculpt, which I'm personally not too fond of, but it's okay. I prefer the original face, with its Roy Rogers/Clint Black looks. The figure can be bought at Toys R Us for $29.99, and you can find more info at www.captainaction.com.
