    Love me some Willers! I don't know anything about the characters, but as a fan of the Mego western figures, the Willers were, for me, an extention of that line. I love their bright colors. There is just something about mint/crisp examples of these guys.

      I love the Willers too! I'm looking at mine right now, staring down at me from one of my bookshelves. Like Dave, I know next to nothing about the characters, but they're the perfect complement to the American West line.

            The only thing I know about Tex Willer comes from the museum and Bonavita's book, but I do know they were based on an Italian comic book/strip, and those colors capture "comic book" very well. They are pretty cool.

              One of the coolest lines ever. I have no clue about the history of these guys either. I'm not sure where I discovered them from. I'm just glad to have finally completed my set thanks to Rob.

                  Big fan of this line although I'll probably never own them. The colors really make you take notice.

                      I like these guys better than Mego's version, costume-wise anyway. They look great on the shelf next to Supes and Bats, etc.
                      Mine aren't originals, but I did use type 1 bodies and they are eye-poppers! Kinda makes ya wanna be a cowboy!
