I fondly remember my days with these! Not the rare ones, by the way!

It was fun to see such a weird collection of characters. Zemo was never that “important” of a character, but fun nonetheless.

The great part, for those who never have seen these was the ridiculous shields. Every superperson, good or bad, walked around with a giant shield showing… themselves. That really must put the fear in your enemy!

Actually the line slipped of the “appeared in the book” rails with the second wave. Falcon, Zemo, Hobgoblin- none of them were sent to the Battle World. It’s not a major complaint. All six were fun additions, and poor Constrictor never has made it back into a Mavel lineup since. But there’s a part of me that would have liked to see more of the heroes and villians that actually appeared in the comic. Wrecker, Molecule Man, Torch, Cyclops, any of these guys could have been made and kept with the “new head, reused parts” plan the line had.

Thanks for this in-depth article, Chip. Those 3 Secret Wars figures are kinda my holy grail. Not that they’re impossible to find, just that they are consistently out of range for my meager budget. Thanks also for the close up of the face. I’ve never gotten a good look at it. The sculpt IS fantastic.

Chip, how’s the plastic quality for these foreign releases compared to their U.S. counterparts? And as always, funny and informative!
