I remember getting Spidey first, and then Christmas of 79 I got Superman, Batman, Hulk, and the Mego 12" Spidey for Christmas! What a Christmas that was. Man oh man.
I remember thinking that Remco's Batman looked like Irv Novick's from the then current comics. Finally, a "grim" Batman with longer ears, unlike Mego's cheery 8" version.
An odd thing I recall about this line; My Batman head broke off. My dad fixed it by whittling a stick down and inserting it into Batman's head and shoulder holes!
A few years back I got a set of Spider-Man, Green Goblin, Batman and Superman from our own Steve Moore. Steve even threw in the Goblin and Superman boxes free of charge. It was great to have these back, plus the Goblin who I never had before.
