    As always great boxes, Anthony.

    Exactly how do you find the time to be so incredibly prolific? I think there will soon be an equal number of boxes produced by Mego and produced in the Toyroom.
    WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.

        Anthony, these are really slick!

        But you're bashing the ethnic SF again? I particularly like Samurai.

        You might just as well poo-poo Sulu, Uhura, & Chekov

          Sigh......Sulu, Uhura and Chekov are full-fledged crew members...Samurai, Black Vulcan and Apache Chief are made-up add-ons used to round out the Super Friends membership and make them appear more ethnically diverse. Same with El Dorado.

          It's fine if you like them but I have no use for them other than Apache Chief (he's one cool dude ). Not being "anti-ethnic heroes" but let's face it, they're Hanna-Barbera creations pure and simple and don't really belong with the pantheon of DC heroes. But if anyone is interested, I'd be more than happy to do a series of boxes featuring Samurai, Black Vulcan, Apache Chief, El Dorado and Rima. But I highly doubt the demand is there.

              RIMA sounds like a good idea!

                It's a matter of opinion of course, but I stand by my ST:TOS comparison. After all, the cartoon is called "SuperFriends", not "Justice League".

                As far as full-fledged members, many of the HB characters were treated better than Aquaman. (Darnit!)

                I dig Apache Chief, too, & you're probably right about demand.

                BTW, I believe Rima is a literary character (from "Green Mansions") in the public domain, not strictly Hanna-Barbera.

                As to a third character on the panel with WW & Aquaman, maybe Green Arrow, Flash, or Plastic Man since I think they were featured earliest (in the hour episodes)?

                  But they are referred to as the "Justice League" quite a bit in the episodes. So I stand by my opinion.

                  BTW, I believe Rima is a literary character (from "Green Mansions") in the public domain, not strictly Hanna-Barbera.
                  Correct. But I didn't say she was an H-B creation....just that I'd throw her in the mix with the others to round out the assortment.

                  As to a third character on the panel with WW & Aquaman, maybe Green Arrow, Flash, or Plastic Man since I think they were featured earliest (in the hour episodes)?
                  Yeah but they're not said in the same breath as "Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman....and Aquaman". Guest-stars is what they were in those early episodes.

                    In this video clip you can clearly see that the walkie talkie device Wonder Woman is holding has the initials JLA on the front

                        And now the rest of the original Super Friends.....




                        Went with the more "modern" (at the time) Wonder Woman logo instead of the script...

                        Is it just me or can you hear Casey Kasem's voice when you look at that Robin pic?

                          I stand clarified

                          Since Flash later became a regular, maybe he's the "best" choice as #6., maybe in a blue box?

                          It goes without saying that I think the Aquaman box is wonderful; that's an unusual pose that features Arthur's face well.
