the majority will probably hit the marketplace once I compare them to the ones currently in my collection.

I've been having a little too much luck lately, can only mean I'm in for a long dry spell.

Woot, soak it in and enjoy while the luck lasts

yeah, I'm thinking that in lieu of going full force into CA I may stick to my batman and robin goal. I hope I can stick with that.

Your killing me here. I will keep my eye out for your marketplace premiere. Very nice score.

You have a pretty fine Superman as well, you might consider S man and boy along with B & R.

It's pretty hard to stick to just one CA, really.

Nice nab on the AB suits. Check out Classic Plastick for boots and gloves.

Suh-weet! I love my Action Boy Robin and Superboy outfits. Too bad they are incomplete.

hey guys, quick question. In my limited experience with CA I was under the impression that robins shorts were the same patern as the material used for the Mera costume, right? generally?

so I checked lueys recent auction for a much nicer suit than mine and see that his doe sin fact have the mera patern shorts, and the closeup of the tag lists japan.

My recently aquired suit has this patern shorts:


and shows a hong kong tag:


and his cape seems to have a few slight differences too.

weirdness?

I cant find any decent sites to compare shots of other figures, or anyplace to see a mention of even the most basic CA release and variation info.

any insight would be awesome.

Hiya J,

I just looked at my AB Robin suit and it is the same as yours. 1967 HK tag and green waves on it.

I see HK and Japan on my CA suits that are all marked 1966, so my guess would be it is just different materials at the different factories. I'm not keen on the SuperQueens, but perhaps those were all manufactured at the Japanese factory?
