Original Hulk-A-Mania!

I remember seeing this page in the catalog and wanting that stupid Walking Hulk and my mom pointing out that it was just a balloon that I wouldn't be happy with because it wouldn't really walk. At the time, I was probably annoyed, but she was so right!!

And I absolutely had two sets of that Batman belt... I remember one had a black walkie-talkie and the other was blue.

I'm constantly looking for that Remco Wonder Woman Utility belt set for my wife. It's surprisingly accurate, and must be pretty frickin' rare.

I never got the Batman belt, because the super-anal fanboy in me refused to believe Batman was a redneck who wore his name on his belt buckle. Just too non-canonical for me (and I was like 4 or something). I did have the Spidey belt...that was close enough, and he wore it under his clothes, so...

I had the Batman projector gun. After it quit working, it still made for a good Bat-laser. Of course had all the Megos here, and the Batmobile and Spider-Car.

Poor Hulk is always the shortest dude in group shots.

Awesome catalog page!!!
Seeing that 80's rock hair plush hulk sparked my memory that my younger brother actually had this.
Thanks for sharing this Brian!

Just love the old catalog pics. BTW, I'll take that special on the superheroes.

I had that gun too. It must not have worked long for me. What image did it project? I only remember pretending it was a Bat-Laser like you did. Did they make a water gun like this maybe?

Thanks Palitoy for posting this and all the other stuff you post. It's much appreciated.

Yes, I think Remco/AHI made a water pistol using the same mold (or design at least).

The signal gun came with little black squares with die-cut silhouettes of the Bat-Signal and other bat characters. I remember the Joker and Penguin for sure.

I don't remember any of that. The part I really remember is the sight that fliped up and down. I think mine had a trigger like a water gun. I'm just not sure. It could've been cast in blue instead of black too. Memory is a tricky thing. It's weird how some things I remember so clearly and others are so vague.

So the Walking Hulk is basically a blow-up doll with a remote controled base. I think Zombies made like this would sell like hot cakes. A sexually themed blow-up doll with a remote controled base could be the ultimate prank machine especially if it had a speaker you could talk through. Imagine it following some one down the street pleading for them to come back and etc.

Here's the one I had:
