Yeah, yeah, the Supermobile is bad but at least it didn’t have the fist-punching action of the Corgi version!

Nice score, Chip, congrats on finding this!

[...] Super Powers Highlight – Advertising Line Art – ActionFigureInsider.com If you don’t know about Chip Cataldo, let me give you the low-down. This is a man that loves Super Powers. I thought I loved Super Powers, but I was way wrong. I just have the figures, the vehicles, the carrying case, and the Hall of Justice. I thought it ended there, but Chip keeps proving that Super Powers had much more to offer than just toys. This week, he showcases a new item to his collection: original Super Powers Advertising Line Art. Follow the link to check it out! [...]

Just cool!! Now, if you can put more advertising for the line, including the artwork of Jose Luis Garcia-lopez. He’s such a damn great artist, and one of the most underrated. If you can accept suggestions for another series of articles, i would like to see a special scoop on the 1995 Superman toy line by Kenner. This line had potential, but didn’t have enough boost from kenner or lack of interest from the market.

Hey Jason… didn’t they used to call you “Lord of the Winds” in High School?

Awesome Stuff Chip! I’d LOVE to score a set of these someday.

After so many years of looking at the figures, I have to admit this type of stuff is of interest me to me. I would love to see scans of the mini comics and DC mini series in the future.

I would just love to stumble across some of that line art in a tattoo parlor. It would just make me Sooooo happy….

Thanks for sharing Chip. As a former Graphic Artist, I too get a kick out of seeing some of the more “historical” aspects of the career and have a sampling of “clip art” and public domain “spots” in a file cabinet somewhere…

Thanks guys…I kick myself for not getting the Secret Wars ones the guy had up, too. I’m not getting into to the Secret Wars ephemera like the Super Powers, tho. Not yet, anyway…that’d be too much.

As someone who has had to draw WAY too many of those kind of pictographs, and as a mega SP nerd, I think this is the single most coolest thing you have ever featured!
