1974: We never got the Bend N Flex Carry Case

Ok so it’s hardly a tragedy, but out of everything proposed for the World’s Greatest Superheroes for 1974  this was the only item  not produced and I  want one.  1974 was a crazy year for Mego and peoples with capes, we got two new waves including super heroines and vile villains for them to beat up. We got Batmobiles, Batcycles, Batcaves and the crazy weirdness that is the Supervator.

And neatest of all, we got expansion of the theme with banks, talking “Super Softie” Plush creations and the aformentioned super fun (and highly underrated) Bend N Flex lines.

So be sure to check out today’s entry into 1974 Revisited, the World’s Greatest Superheroes!
