Man, I really loved those Secret Wars figures. I actually bought some extras (on card) as a kid and when some got worn out, I would just open up the extra. Which seemed kind of clever at the time, though not so much now. To have a Wolverine action figure was cool beyond cool and then Daredevil. I used to spend the 15-20 minutes walking back from the bus stop after school imagining what characters they might put out next.

I have quite a few loose figures and vehicles/playsets, and a couple of carded figures.
I think the biggest problem with Secret Wars figures is that they will inevitably draw comparisons to the concurrent Super Powers line featuring the DC Comics characters, and the Marvel SW figures just cannot compete with the sculpts, articulation, and Action features of the SP Action Figures.
I collect prety much anything featuring DC or Marvel Superheroes, but Secret Wars kind of bottoms out the list of classic Vintage toy lines.Comment

SW always brings me back to my teen years, just starting to collect and they made me miss Mego. I really wanted to like them but things like Cap having no shield, Doom having no cape made it hard.
The playsets and vehicles (some recycled from the 70's heroes in action line) were also a sign that Mattel didn't really care all that much and it paled compared to Super Powers.
Nowadays though, I find all that charming and actually find myself interested in the line.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

The Black Spiderman was in the comics, Matt and Sam wasn't even there! Neither was Zemo or the Hobgoblin! Yeah I was scratching my head waaaaaaaaay back then!
Hulk was a very big part of the Secret Wars I mean he held a mountain up saving the heroes from being crushed plus he even took the brunt of a blast from Ultron I loved his involvement in the Secret Wars and Mattel really did drop the ball on that!sigpic

I think this was a pretty nice line, but I've never owned any of them. As kid, I was a Super Powers guy.

Yeah, those toys were junk next to the DC figures at that time, but I got them anyway, repaint Caps bars, fix Wolvies mask, make another Cap into Cyclops, Iron Man was perfect, DD was ok, Falcons wings were dumb, Black Spidey was cool, regular Spidey kinda lame. Doom and Maggie didn't have any capes but I didn't care they were just punching bags anyway, Doc Ock was a joke, Zemo and Hobgoblin were great. I didn't have Iceman or the other foreign ones.sigpicComment

I'm still kicking myself for the time I found a hidden auction that listed Iceman as Silver Surfer and forgot to place a bid.Comment
