I had about 10 of those Spidey banks. I think Empire made them? They also made the Hulk too.

Had the Underoos, the Empire Spidey copter, the Energized Spidey, the Hot Wheels, and of course some of the Megos!

Great pics Brian. Marvel licensing at it's zenith, IMHO.

The kids are even wearing Marvel T's.

As a fan of most things 70's superhero, this really gets me salivating.

I almost feel like it's a companion piece to this:

If that guy above doesn't look like he's saying something to the effect of:
"I told ya ten times already its a Superman PUZZLE ---not Superman Shrinky Dinks"
then I'm a monkey's uncle

P.S. someone give a briefing on what that THING toy is above (in the Marvel pic)
---I could swear I knew what that was about 30 years ago!

I believe that's The Thing Rock Trap. You inflate the theing and he busts out of the trap, just like the Hulk Rage Cage above.

My kid brother wore those Underoos. That's a pretty cool bike too. And I knew at least 10 boys who wore the Spider-Man ringer tees.

Personally I'm more impressed by that DC Superhero shop, but that's just the Batman fan in me speaking

[jwyblejr]

I like that Spider Man bike. That thing is cool looking.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I like that Hulk cage.
