Up Close: 18″ Removable Mask Robin

  One of the nicer surprises this year were the 18″ Superheroes by Figures Toy Company which as someone more clever than me pointed out gave us the illusion we were three feet tall again.

The Official World’s Greatest Super-Heroes

This very rare leaflet from Canadian Mego distributor Parkdale Novelty just recently surfaced, showcasing the wonderful different 1975 assortments of World’s Greatest Superheroes. The true beauty of this ad is the multitude of different stock art that was used, as many of these images were not used on any form of Mego packaging.
