So happy i finally got him and now to get the rest had a bunch as a kid so i will get them for my kids i guess i am 31 now and have 4 of them.

Batman came first. Then Joker and Bob the goon. Then wave 1 of the DC line.
I remember seeing that Batman figure hanging in a local comic shop for over 2 months before I saw one in stores. They wanted $40 for him. I wasn’t gonna pay that. So I waited… and eventually found one.

There were some fun figures (I liked the Superman with the kryptonite ring with the magnets. That was a clever idea) and then there were some DISASTERS like Lex and the Wonder Woman with the questionable action feature….

Loved hearing about your first toy run. So cool that your folks brought you. And thanks for shedding some light on this toy line. It wasn’t something that ever crossed my radar so I appreciate knowing a bit more about it!

Though not as well made as Super Powers, they came pretty close I think. And they
were definitely better made and detailed than Mattel’s JLU line.
