Hulk Smash Thumbs!!!

[TomStrong]

Has anybody ever seen these? I have this one from when I was a kid. I don't know why I haven't thought to post it before now. It came from Circus World in Florence, Alabama. It says Imperial on the bottom and the usual Marvel Comics group, made in Taiwan. I have posted close ups for discussions. He smashed a lot of thumbs in his day.

some of my favourites. I had an extra set at one point, and comparing them it looked like they were different kinds of plastics.

Spidey's my favourite.

I had that Spidey puppet when I was a kid and it was fantastic. I love seeing that spidey finger puppet. If I had one in the package like that I don't think I could resist opening it.

I have the Spidey finger puppet, and my childhood Spidey hand puppet, and the head from my Cap one.

A local drug store had old store stock of the Hulk and Thor puppets WAY up into the late 80s. When they were going out of business I snagged a set (the last two they had left). I later flipped them, but now I wish I had them!

I just noticed, my Spider-Man puppet has reversed red and blues on his "body". I always assumed they were all like that. I have a rare varient!
