Editing Captain Action (section)

===Captain Action returns===
After 30 years off the market, Captain Action was revived in 1998, by retro toy company Playing Mantis. In addition to Captain Action and Dr. Evil, costumes released boxed with Captain Action figure were [[The Lone Ranger]] (in red and black outfit), [[Tonto]], [[Flash Gordon]], his never-before-made nemesis [[Ming the Merciless]] (with a new flesh-tone Dr. Evil figure), [[The Green Hornet]], and his never-before-made sidekick [[Kato (The Green Hornet)|Kato]]. The line met with lackluster sales, and carded costumes-only were issued separately: Green Hornet, Kato, Lone Ranger (in blue outfit), Tonto, [[The Phantom]], and his never-before-made enemy [[Singh Brotherhood|Kabai Singh]]. Also revived was Action Boy (now called Kid Action, due to Hasbro owning the rights to the name [[Action Man]]) and retro long box packaging for Captain Action and Dr. Evil. The changes made little difference in the general sales and the second coming of Captain Action ended in 2000.
