I think mention needs to be made of the bizarre selection of villains in the Batman/JLA set. The Joker is obviously a sensible choice, and I assume that Brain Storm, the Key and the Thunderbolt got in just because they happened to be the villains in the last six consecutive issues of the JLA to come out before they designed the set. But who decided on one-shot Aquaman villain Kaltor and idiotic Wonder Woman villain Mouse Man? Besides being ridiculously obscure, they are wildly out of scale since Kaltor is supposed to be about twenty feet tall while Mouse Man is only six inches tall. I can picture the Joker laughing maniacally as befuddled children try to concoct a story in which this random assortment of freaks unites to battle the Justice League.meamwaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889200631513432975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-77286190172746800882008-01-21T13:24:00.000-05:002008-01-21T13:24:00.000-05:00Folks-Scroll down, for some of the most amazing re...Folks-<BR/><BR/>Scroll down, for some of the most amazing repros of this you've ever seen:<BR/><BR/>http://www.toymania.com/custom/Galleries/ChrisLongo/chrislongo2.htm<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>-Craig W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-52157605354265989832008-01-19T17:15:00.000-05:002008-01-19T17:15:00.000-05:00if the Batman set had come with a Snapper Carr, i ...if the Batman set had come with a Snapper Carr, i wouldve melted it in a microwave.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-68333730430165794062008-01-19T14:48:00.000-05:002008-01-19T14:48:00.000-05:00C'mon Benton, of course that's Mong.

From what I understand, kids would tug on their mother's sleeves shouting "please mom (Mong?), please! I'll be so good! I need a Justice League of America Mong playset with Aqua sub and bonus Aquaman figure!

To have a hero invested in a set like this. <BR/><BR/>Nowadays you might get a little red and blue piece of plastic thrown in there, and have "Bonus Atom figure" slapped on the box. You're supposed to be excited about that.<BR/><BR/>It's just toys like this that are my absolute faves. I'm severely jealous. <BR/><BR/>Egads.Damianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585574143924025490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-1061750227281041852008-01-19T09:55:00.000-05:002008-01-19T09:55:00.000-05:00>>(The Aqua-set isn't Ideal; Multiple, I think - a...>>(The Aqua-set isn't Ideal; Multiple, I think - and not as well done.)<<<BR/><BR/>i can't believe i made that mistake--AGAIN! i mistakenly credited it to Ideal when i posted the pic on the shrine, and Brian corrected me. sheesh, i can't seem to keep that straight.<BR/><BR/>duly corrected!rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-49575199005614829112008-01-19T09:50:00.000-05:002008-01-19T09:50:00.000-05:00Oy, Rob, was the big Ideal set one of the Grails o...Oy, Rob, was the big Ideal set one of the Grails of my childhood!!!<BR/><BR/>(The Aqua-set isn't Ideal; Multiple, I think - and not as well done.)<BR/><BR/>I actually held its glory in my hands at Bargain City; but it was just too 'spensive for a non-Christmas gift...<BR/><BR/>I'd always try to talk guys at school into trades for the loose figs, but no takers...<BR/><BR/>Over the years, I've gotten less-than-mint copies of all the heroes but Flash; a similar fast food one stands in.<BR/><BR/>Even a Joker, which I'll paint one of these days (sorry, Purists!)<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>-Craig W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
