Got a question

[EVENINGWOLF]

Does anyone remember some vehicles they did back in the early 80's for Spiderman and the Hulk. There was a helicoptor and van for each of them. I haven't been able to find any reference to them anywhere. The vans had a door in the top and the helicoptors came with emergency gear (flashlights, oxygen tanks etc.) The items were identical except for the color schemes (green and Yellow for Hulk and Red and Yellow for Spiderman. They were in a size that was larger than the 8 inch scale so they may have been made for the 12 versions of the figures. I'm looking to replace the ones I had if I can find them.

Thank you for that...don't suppose you have any idea where someone might find any of them these days?

I haven't seen any that are really great in a long time, but you can set your search on Feebay to try and locate them.

Weren't there some in the marketplace for sale not long ago? Or am I remembering that wrong?

There have been a few boxed ones on Ebay but they certainly weren't cheap. The Hulk van and copter are probably the most difficult to find. Good luck with your hunt and hope to see you posting around here more often.
