    Up Close: Super Friends Apache Chief and Superman



    The Super Friends toy line by Figures Toy Company is one of the most anticipated lines of 2015 and their delivery in December meant many 70s kids got some major wish fulfillment in the plastic form of something many of us have pined for since “Challenge of the Super Friends” first aired.

    So we bring you part two of our photo review (If you haven’t already check out Robin and Samurai here), this one covering Apache Chief and Superman, perhaps you’ve heard of them.

    So, as with all of our “Mego Museum Up Close” features, we let the pictures do the talking.

        Nice pictures, I think the Superman sculpt looks really good.

          I really love the Apache Chief. One of my favorites from Super Friends.

          Thinking about adding him to my wishlist. The clothing looks well done (maybe not the cuffs and neckscarf, but those are probably easy fixes. I also really like his face sculpt. But am I the only one who wishes they would make him with rooted hair, like the Thor figure. Seems like that would have been a more authentic "Mego-y" way of presenting him.

              I was browsing Classic TV Toys, but they have surprisingly few options for a male head with rooted black hair. Conan, Kull, and KISS aren't doing much for me.
