Recently, I happened across five 1977 7-11 Marvel superhero glasses.

I have a slight memory of these, but I wasn't sure how large the line was. I thought about asking here but a quick internet search showed that I was only missing one- Hulk. I've found a few on ebay, but they were a little too pricey. Well, I just decided to stick my head in an antique store today that I've never visited. It had the usual furniture, etc. Sure enough in the back of the store there a few glasses and sitting right in front was the Hulk.

Like I said, not a big find by any means, but it was really cool to simply luck into it.

I've come upon a smdm Steve Austin with his left forearm broken off. Everything else looks good so I thought maybe I could repair him like I've done with megos, well I can't figure out how to get the arm off, or even how to get the body apart for that matter!

Any advice or experience in this regard?

1) I never knew this rub down transfer set from Letraset existed until last week when my pal Corey sent me this swell picture.

Ahhh the Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, Vision and Ca...Human Torch?


This one kind of confuses me, Fleetwood toys makes Avengers toys, even carefully using the logo and adding the Vision, a character who saw little to no merchandise but pass on the always popular Captain America for Johnny Storm, who isn't an Avenger?


I'm inclined to think that they did it because Cap can't fly but seems so logical....
