L'uomo Ragno!

Our buddy Olmo sent in this cool pic from the 1978 Harbert Catalog, where the sole Mego figure for sale was none other than everyone's favourite web head. These Harbert cards do crop up periodically but are not easy to find.

Is there something different about Spidey's costume on the small carded example ?

I can't put my finger on why, but it don't look like a normal Mego Spider-Man suit.

Looks like they doctored the blue a bit

[Mikey]

Ahhhh, that's it.

The blue is more vivid

[cjefferys]

Yeah, with the much lighter blue you really notice the black line between the blue and red parts of the costume. That's what looks weird to me.

[toys2cool]

let me tell you it looks pretty cool with the blue like that

Love that Marching Band Spidey pose.

Cool, cool ad.

[goldenryan]

yeah, i've never seen any spidey with that light of blue costume. great vintage artwork and very cool ad either way.

[goldenryan]

the background reminds me of the 67' spidey cartoon.

If I've said it once about why I loved Megos as a kid, I've said it a million times- "perfettamente articolato"!

[dumbldor]

I love L'uomo Ragno!

[palitoy]

It must have been disappointing for the Italian kid who loved Thor to see him on the package and never find him. Actually I know that feeling....

I do too, I remember looking everywhere for a 12" Mr. Fantastic. Damn false advertising.
