never knew about them as a kid. as an adult cannot afford them. I have a custom Clark with orignal mego body and Supes head wearing Dr. Mego suit and glasses and a hat I made out of a CTVT cowboy hat. To finish him I put Kojak shoes on him. they are a little big but not too noticable.

I never had them as a kid but certainly remember seeing them in the Wards catalog and wanting them. Not sure why I didn't get my parents to order them.
I have all 4 mint and complete now (and 1 original baggie) in my collection. Figures I was sure I'd never own. I love 'em.
(I also have a Bruce and Clark done by Charlee Flatt that are for sale).Last edited by ScottA; Jan 14, '10, 9:58 PM.sigpic WANTED: Boxed, Carded and Kresge Carded WGSHComment

I never knew of these as a kid, I've own an all original set before, plus a couple of doubles of each in various states of near completeness. I currently have a BW and CK and would like to get a PP and DG. They are neat but I'm not into putting a lot of money in them right now. I think repro SIs have damaged the value of these greatly and that they have lost their allure in the process.Comment

It was impossible for me to have them as a kid but I knew a collector who had one and I worked on him for 10 years, eventually he sold me his Parker and his parts box and I found the other three in the box. One of the happiest days in my collecting career.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

As a kid I had RC bats, RM Robin and from the first evening I got them I had their alter egos using AJ clothes I had I remember "Bruce" in dark blue overalls working on the batmobile (shoe box) and Robin seeing the bat-signal (flashlight) changing into Batman and climbing the side of a building (bedroom door) with their batarang (string tied to the doorknob).
As an adult in 2002ish I had a great original set, never used, with bags, of all four only missing Clark's head. I found them in a hidden set of auctions and sold them a few months later.
Now I have custom repros and I'm very happy with them.

I have Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson both complete. Clark Kent I'm just missing the Glasses...and Peter Parker I'm just missing his head. One day I will finish the Parker...as for CK...not really hopeful that I'll find glasses for him. One thing I have learned from collecting...never say never."When not too many people can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears,
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity".

Never had them as a kid. I think I grew up late in the game. As an adult managed to nab pieces of all four. Have a Bruce Wayne missing Tie, a Dick Grayson complete, A Clark Kent missing shirt, and a Peter Parker Sweater on a Clark Kent Wearing Clark Kent Pants. Definately love the Hunt.Comment
