The name sums it up. Leader from the Incredible Hulk used these to wreck lots of havoc.
This figure was part of the Incredible Hulk Smash and Crash as part of a two pack that includes a Leader figure. This line is from Toy Biz made in 1997.
Robot Chicken is the mascot from the show Robot Chicken.
This figure is from a two-pack that includes a 6″ figure of The Mad Scientist and this roughly 3.5″ figure of the Robot Chicken. The set was part of a very small 1:12 scale line made by Jazwares back in about 2010ish. I picked the set up at a Toys R Us.
This set occasionally shows up on Ebay so keep an eye out for that one. There is also a similar figure made by Kid Robot which will be in a later DotD. I also have the Mad Scientist in my box of stuff to sell.

Caption Action was created back in 1966 as a competitor to GI Joe for the Ideal Toy company. He is basically a character that has access to multiple super heroes outfits and their characteristics when he wears them.
This figure is the Headliner of the Comic Adventure Heroes line made by Zica as part of a Kickstarter campaign. Production took a few years and these were all released in 2020. They are available for sale at BBTS and on Zica’s webstore.
Sculpt:
Captain Action’s sculpt is a fairly generic muscular human wearing a body suit.
Paint:
Paint is all pretty crisp and well done.
Accessories:
Extra head sculpt (that looks like The Office’s Michael Scott to me)
Removable hat that fits really well
Ray gun pistol and holster that attaches to belt
Ray gun rifle
Lightning short sword and holster that attaches to belt
4 sets of extra hands (Trigger finger, Fists, Magic, Regular grip)
Articulation:
Barbel neck
Double swivel pin shoulders
Double swivel pin elbows
Swivel pin wrists
T-ball hips that connect to the torso and sits in the crotch
Double swivel double pin knees
Swivel “rocker” ankles
Size & Scale :
All of the figures in the Comic Adventure Heroes line are a little on the smaller side of modern 1:18 figures.

The heads do fit pretty well on other figures like Marauders and Boss Fight Studio if you need a body for the extra head.
Final thoughts:
I am a huge advocate for supporting independent toy manufacturers. This campaign shows how difficult it can be to make these. Props to Zica Toys for following through and delivering. I hope that they continue to make toys into the future. As for the figure itself, I really enjoyed it even though the source material is way before my time. It is a little shorter that I was expecting because they had made a big deal about the figures being made too small at one pint during manufacturing and had to get everything re-tooled.
So, I did not go so I am left Arm-Chair reporting. I will group news about 1:18 and 1:18 compatible figure new by company and line with links back to the source.

Fixit is an Autobot from Transformers. His character is a little quirky jack lift that has a lot of technical ability.
This version of Fixit is part of the One Step Changers Transformers Robots in Disguise sub-series released in 2016. I found this figure in a K-Mart I think when it first came out. Now it seems to be going crazy on aftermarket. Amazon marketplace has this figure listed for almost $80 (not worth that!) And the smaller Legion version for $160…???? Ebay is way better with sold listings from $15-$25.
