Shazam, from "DC Comics - Super Powers" collection, includes the following accessories:
The Shazam action figure is part of the third (and final) wave of the Super Powers collection produced by KENNER in the 1980s.
All the figures in this third wave are much harder to find than those in the previous waves. As this was the last wave, there were no reissues of these figures and fewer units were produced.
The Shazam figure, like the rest of the figures in the Super Powers collection, had an "action feature"; in this case, when you squeeze the doll's legs, its arms move.
Shazam is a wizard who is several thousand years old. He was responsible for giving the Marvel family all their superpowers.
Before he was known as Shazam, he was a young shepherd in ancient Canaan, who soon became known as the Champion, one of the world's first superheroes. By uttering the magic word "VLAREM!" (an anagram of "Marvel," representing fictional gods), he was granted great power.
This figure is a representation not of the wizard himself, but of Captain Marvel, who can use Shazam's powers. In different DC comics, different characters have achieved Shazam's powers, even in a crossover with Masters of the Universe, where He-Man himself obtains these powers.
