Creation
Action Boy's sculpting and design are, like Captain Action's, expertly crafted, including his lean athletic body. Action Boy measures 9" in height, and features brown-painted hair and eyebrows, black-painted eyes and eyelids, a pink-painted lower lip and teeth, and rosy cheeks. The plastic figure is jointed at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, and ankles; like Captain Action, you can pose him in 1001 positions.
Action Boy was brought back briefly in 2000 under the name "Kid Action" when Playing Mantis, a mid-west collectibles company reproduced some of the original Ideal toy line. The name was changed to avoid possible legal entanglements at the time. "Kid" Action Boy was released in his original uniform. Uniform sets for Speed Racer and Hanna Barbera's Jonny Quest and Hadji were also planned, but the line was canceled before this came to be.

Famous quotes containing the word creation:
“Like witches they flew along rows
Keeping creation at ease;
With a tendril for needle
They sewed up the air with a stem;”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
“We should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation of a new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world as closely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection with the worlds we already know. When this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Some collaboration has to take place in the mind between the woman and the man before the art of creation can be accomplished. Some marriage of opposites has to be consummated. The whole of the mind must lie wide open if we are to get the sense that the writer is communicating his experience with perfect fullness.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
