    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).

        I now have Peter Parker original head/figure but repro clothing. I probably won't get the rest unless I find one in a super hidden auction

          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.

            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.

              I can picture you doing the Snoopy dance holding Kent in one hand and Bruce in the other.
              It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                Snoopy probably exercised more poise and restraint at that point.

                  Tough call, but I doubt I would be able to get another Peter if I sell mine. And I am a big Spiderman fan.

                    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.

                        Never knew they existed as kid.

                        Still looking for a Peter Parker.

                          I have the Bruce Wayne and the Dick Grayson. My Grayson still needs the undershirt. In the meantime, he wears a Fonzie undershirt!

                            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.

                            The beauty that surrounds them

                              Never had them. They don't interest me that much as an adult, mostly because of the price. If I ever stumbled onto them cheap, I'd be a very happy man, though.

                                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.
