Superheroes and Sci-Fi

[RSS]

One section of any wish book that I love is the "other" action figure pages in the era of Star Wars. There is a lot of great stuff on this page!

It's also really funny how they downplay that the Star Trek Utility Belt is actually from Star Trek by referring to it as a 'Space Utility Belt'...assumedly so they could sell it as more of a generic sci-fi product so it could go with any other product on the page. Normally you would want to emphasize the Star Trek brand, but at this point it apparently made more sense to them not to reference it.

Yeah, the way they picture the 12" Supes with the 8 inchers is odd (love Batman and Robin's reaction poses though). Boy, those 12" Galactica figures were fairly expensive compared to the other figures. Must have been because of their high tech electronic features!

I really like that Irwin "Sonic Fazer"--I'd use it even today for cosplay.
