CT Toys - Spider-Man (Classic)
CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand. I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures. CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey! Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...
1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil
Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from Daredevil to Deathlok.
Rambo's best friend?
ReplyDeleteSecond cousin😅
ReplyDeleteI'm stumped. No idea who this is! My first guess what that it maybe was one of the 1/18th scale Commando figure, but I think those had more articulation.
ReplyDeleteKnock off Rambo figs made by a company called Mel Appel.This line was called Desert Dogs ,If I remember correctly.They had sound effects ,sadly mine doesnt work anymore.
ReplyDeleteMel Appel made some really great oddball stuff in the 80's! Ive been trying to complete a set of the Mel Appel Extraterrestrials made by Remco for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI want more of these Desert Dogs,but they hardly ever show up in searches.Cheesy figures but in an 80s awesomness kind of way.
ReplyDeleteSome of the coolest toys from the 80s were knockoff toys by unknown companies!
ReplyDeleteAgreed!And they were a great supporting cast for all your MOTU,GI JOE and RAMBO play sessions.
