Hey Chip, the figure that you’re showing was made in Colombia and belong to the last batch of figures, that didn’t have the stars printed in Diana’s shorts and the Superman’s shield in the cape. The figures showed in stores way back in December, 1986, and were avaliable until 1995, when Gulliver used the molds to create their own superheroes brand and made two Superman figures in a short lived line with a limited release. (I own both figures. One is Supes with the mullet hair and the other one is Superboy, with the leather jacket).

The colombian figures wer made of cheap plastic (The figures’ capes and necks were broken easily) had only 5 points of aticulation, and later they included the infamous Capitan Rayo. (The eigth figures were avaliable in a collector box in the 1987 Christmas). Also, the figures were heavely promoted in Colombia. Superman was a gift for the first 5 customers that buyed a ticket for the weekend premiere of “Superman IV” in the christmas of 1988 (An unforgettable date for me, because I was only 13 years old back then) and the next year with the movie release of “Batman”.

I still own the Superman figure. Created a new neck and made a fabric cape. Anothe Superman figure was costumized into a Bizarro figure.

Chip, the Brazilian version had the comic books included. You can download some of them (in Portuguese) here http://www.box.net/shared/tmchb8r8co

Nice feature as usual. I didn’t realize there were actually two different waves. Thought they were all lumped together. Who all was in the second wave?

Very curious to see up close pics of the others from this line, they look cool. I also love that this Wonder Woman can send bullets from her bracelets:)

Also, I just realized that that Wonder Woman art is found on the front of the carrying case. Check it out, she’s in the top left corner: http://toyotter.com/sp/images/carryingcase.jpg

Hi, Chip! I’ll take lots of pictures of Robin once he arrives. Heh.

My favorite things about Wonder Woman have always been her truth-rope and her long life spaw. Also I like how Superman and Batman are looking at each other in that picture, like they’re saying to each other, ‘What the hell happened to YOU?!’
