NFS. New arrival. Thor large header box to go along with my small header box. All original vintage mego. I love the target price sticker. The small header box has a $2.99 Nichols price sticker on the top flap.
Mego Meet didn't happen this year but thanks to a good friend, I still managed to come away with an amazing haul of stuff. This box arrived with a few surprises I'll share in a video. Epic mail day, now to find space.

I have finally finished piecing together a WGSH First Four set. Some folks might say not a big deal but it is to me.
As a kid, my parents bought a set of the first four at Woolworth and for those of you in the Hollywood area, it was the one next to the Sears on Santa Monica Blvd and Western Ave. Near Ed Wood's old studios.
Of course my brother and I played them to pieces but always told myself some day I will get that set again. This time I tried to get the first release versions as best I could based on Benjamin Holcomb's book.
Superman is all original with the exception of the sticker emblems. The suit is a stirrup version with skinny boots. Belt is transparent and suit is fading to a lavender but still deep rich blue tones. 20210218_121357.jpg
Batman is all original with the exception of the sticker emblem. The suit is a stirrup version with skinny boots. Belt is transparent and suit has a beautiful rich lavender hue to it. The gloves are the first version waffle pattern on one side. 20210218_121350.jpg
Robin is original except sticker emblem, removeable mask, and belt. I have an original belt but the elasticity is long gone so does not stay on. The gloves are the first version waffle pattern on one side. 20210218_121344.jpg
Aquaman is original except sticker emblem. Suit is the sew on sleeves first version. The gloves are the first version waffle pattern on one side. 20210218_121335.jpg
Beautiful set of heroes, congratulations. I had these way way back in the day and I personally like Superman, but of course there all favorites. Any chance of adding type-1’s of Tarzan-Shazam and Green Arrow to the collection?
I was able to track down the last two carded CB McHaul characters recently, it only took me 22 years to complete the set! As a bonus, I bought them from an old friend I haven't talked to in years.
