Even though the comic was based on the toys, there wasn’t a single mythology/backstory like Transformers. Mantlo created it. However once the comic book existed and Mantlo created the universe, did Mego ever link the toys to the comic directly?
I was always interested in Micronauts but never read the comic book until the recent Marvel reprint so didn’t know anything about the toy line.
I have several DC Promotional items including several rings. Anyone recall what this ring was released for?
It’s not Rebirth - that one was a single piece of plastic. It didn’t reveal a Flash costume inside the ring.
I recall hearing that it’s based on the GL Earth One Graphic Novel but honestly it reminds me more of this look.
I never played Injustice so I can vouch for the accuracy of the figure compare to what was in the video game.
As soon as I learned this figure existed I had to get it. While I like the figure I’m a bit disappointed with the head.
The hair looks more orange than blonde.
The mask is off - since they reused the same as the Alan Scott GL figure.
I got emails from both Entertainment Earth and BBTS about this set being in stock. I hadn’t seen any announcement about these figures…
Wave 13 of McFarlane Super Powers just came out.
I’m not sure about the art on the card - It looks from the era but it’s not Broderick; maybe Bright?
One clean closet later…. I also found these.
I normally open things to display them but until I do I keep the items sealed in the box so I don’t lose anything.
Everyone has that closet - the one that your wife, girlfriend and/or parents have been asking you to clean but you avoided it…. I finally ran out of excuses and started going through it.
I had forgotten these were in there.
McFarlane is continuing the Super Powers figures with 24 new figures being added to the line before the end of the DC license.
McFarlane Toys just revealed the image of The next wave of 6 figures. One of the figures is a Hal Jordan GL figure deco as he appears in 1990s GL vol 3.
This is my first exposure to GI Joe:Extreme….May Cobra Commander have mercy on my soul…
Except for the first issue of the mini series, the books are actually in great condition.
I found these old promo posters.
American Entertainment was a mail order store and they heavily promoted books by this company - Adventure Publications. Any order from them included a poster/comic book from this company for a while. Adult me learned later that they were owned by the same person.
II recall enjoying these books when they came out. Adventures was about 7 or 8 people from different lands on a D&D style quest. The other books were Solo/origins of the members. All books were Black and White art.
The company was later bought by Malibu who Continued publishing these book - so did they still own them when Marvel bought Malibu?
Sadly it didn’t meet my expectations- it turned out to be 3 separate story.
Guy Gardner involved him going back to the school as a substitute teacher at the request of the school Principal. She was an old friend from when he was a teacher.
The Chris Mooneyham variant cover for the recent Skybound Reprint of Marvel GI Joe #14 - the Hama Files version.
I have the originals but the variant covers for all the issues they’ve reprinted have been amazing. This cover reminds me of a mix of Steranko Agent or Shields covers and old 1950s pulp stories.
Baron Ironblood, Black Major, Kraken, and most of the Red Shadows trooper are from Eagle Force.
Red Vulture and Red Wolf are from Skeletron.
Red Laser was frankesteined from a 25th Anniversary HISS Tank and an extra head and armorr from Skeletron
Captain Skip was from the 25th Anniversary Joes.
