According to the gallery listing of Supes, Basa made 3 superheroes for the Peruvian market. I know about Superman and Batman, but who is the third one? Robin, Spider-man, Aquaman, Ma Walton? I looked around but couldn't find any info on the mysterious third one.

I don't think the pics made it to the forum, but I saved 'em on my computer. I'll download them to my album and post them tomorrow"...The agony of my soul found vent in one loud, long and final scream of despair..." - Edgar Allan PoeComment

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

James Gallo told me at megomeet that BASA only released the three. He has some solid connections there so I'm inclined to believe him.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Weird timing for me thinking about this, I didn't realize that an auction for a Basa Robin ended only a few days ago! If I searched completed auctions I would have found the answer to my own question. I look forward seeing the pics of the partially outfitted one, Thomas. I'm glad you saved them.
Slightly related, I also recently found out that Basa supposedly made two 12" (well, actually 15") Star Wars figures in the early 80's. A Darth Vader definitely showed up and a Chewbacca is rumoured to exist. But there seems to be some debate on whether the Vader that was found, which is slightly different from the Kenner one (but not as different as the Lili Ledy ones), is an actual licensed product, or a bootleg of the Kenner toy.Comment

Thanks Thomas, that's cool! So he has a green body suit like the Ledy Robin, except that it's more character accurate (no long sleeves or leggings). I guessing he wore a red vest over top (again, similar to the Ledy), and then maybe a cloth cape similar to the BASA Superman and Batman. That sounds like it would look pretty nice. How much did he end up going for?Comment

If I'm not mistaken he went for $307"...The agony of my soul found vent in one loud, long and final scream of despair..." - Edgar Allan PoeComment
