BTW: Am I the only one that thinks Star Princess looks a lot like Mattel's Guardian Goddesses Sun Spell?

You know, I'm probably the only one that even remembers those. They were test marketed 12 inch fantasy super hero dolls released in very small amounts in 1979. Sorta proto She-Ra in a way.

Oh Lord, that Aquaman.... The seller is the same person who does neat Pocket Hero customs.

lol I was thinking the same of the beach bag, Chris. What is Rob's "Shazam! rant"?

When licensors would showcase the other four Super Friends, but sub Captain Marvel (SHAZAM) in for Aquaman. It did happen quite often, since both TV shows were in their heyday at relatively the same time.

Omitting Aquaman without replacing him, like the beach bag, also rankles his feathers. It's all in fun though. It's not ugly, angry nerd rage at all.

Thanks, I was curious--I couldn't picture Rob ranting. I have a great fondness for both characters, but Aquaman is my favorite hero. Captain Marvel was merchandised so heavily, even into the 90s, which is a bit surprising. So I sympathize with his disappointment.

I knew about the Spock kit, but I've never actually seen the Aurora box before.
It's pretty cool, but not as classic as the kit I bought when I was a kit.
