Those Other World's Greatest Superheroes

[RSS]

There was a time in my younger days where I was absolutely obsessed with these guys. Made by Japanese toy maker Popy, these 8" figures were meant to fit in with Mego Superheroes (which Popy also supplied in Japan). That 8" Mark from "Battle of the Planets" is the toy we deserved as kids.


Speaking of Mego, tomorrow kicks off Mego Meet 10 in Wheeling, WV, I'll be there selling many different goodies. Please say hi if you make it.

They could have sold the crap out of that BOTP figure over here back in the 70s.

Absolutely!

I file these guys under "Toy line I can't believe I don't own anything from yet". I really gotta get on the stick and start working on buying some of these. Oh, anyone want to loan me some money?

^^ I'm with you on that sentiment. Pricey, but otherwise, how the hell have I resisted these?!? Ape City expansion project is clearly defined… Popy fundraiser forth!

Curious: what's with the misspelled URL? Specifically: "pliadstallions.com"?

I deserve it now! Would love to see FTC do Mark and the rest of the group.

Someone had too much beer!

I thought when too much beer is drank we wind up with "planted scallions" instead?

Yes! I would have loved to get these guys as a kid. I tried to find a decent Mark head for a custom when I was in Japan but didnt come across anything that worked for my price range.
