From the 1966 Sears' Christmas Catalog.
I remember the TV commercials for Captain Action, and I was impressed that he could become different comic book heroes. Really wanted the Superman outfit because there were no Superman action figures at the time. And he would be the same size as my G.I. Joes!
My folks, on the other hand, thought having G.I. Joe was enough for me, so they were not about to start me collecting yet another toy line.
Years later I understand their reasoning, especially as tight as money was back then. But it still would've been sweet to have the superhero outfits (which were sold separately from Captain Action) to put on my Joes.

The Sears Wish Book was a magical trove of dream gifts. For generations of Americans, the arrival of the Sears Wish Book was nearly as magical as Christmas itself. It was published by Sears, Roebuck & Co. or Sears beginning in 1933 as a Christmas catalog. Sears officially titled it the Christmas Wish Book in 1968.
In many ways, the Sears Wish Book was a printed time capsule, serving as "a mirror of our times, recording for future historians today’s desires, habits, customs, and mode of living," as described by the Sears News Graphic. Flip to any page in any given catalog to get a glimpse of what everyday life was like for many middle class families in America at the time.
Many people nostalgically think of the Wish Book as filled with nothing but toys. In fact, over the years, more pages were devoted to gifts for adults. The 87-page 1933 Christmas Book catalog featured 25 pages of toys and 62 pages of gifts for adults. In 1968, the Wish Book totaled 605 pages, with 225 pages devoted to toys and 380 pages to gifts for adults.
Sears stopped publishing its wonderful Wish Book in 2011, but brought back a much more condensed version for one year, in 2017.
We never really got a lot of toys like kids do today, so it was actually the Wish Book us kids would fight over, to wish. The Sears Wish Book taught many of us way back when that there's no harm in wishing for the impossible.
