WW2 parachuting team up

[RSS]

Behold the very last parachuting AHI figure ever made (at least I think it is, although I'm still convinced there are Mighty Crusaders ones out there) Sgt. Rock, based on the DC comic series. AHI rolled out a lot of old favourites like the Batplane and the motorcycle toy for Sgt. Rock. Their other company Remco producing an action figure line meant to compete with G.I. Joe. Even though I can't remember reading a SGT Rock comic as a kid, I can't resist that Kubert artwork.

And here was have an AHI Captain America Parachutist, Cap got in just under the wire in the late 1970s along with the Hulk and was one of the last superhero parachutists made. Cap may be one of the more logical parachuting superheroes ever made seeing as he actually used them in comics.

Pretty slick when toys make sense.

I fondly remember the Cap parachutist, and have on today (sans parachute). Had no idea about Sgt. Rock though!

Didn't know some of the parachutist came with a "super launcher." Would have loved that little accessory when I was a kid. As satisfying as it was to throw them out of George Rafferty's third-floor window, it would have been even more satisfying to shoot them upwards from George Rafferty's third-floor window.

Yeah the Cap pictured above has one, it's a cheap slingshot.

Never knew about the Sgt. Rock parachuter before! Would love to get one of those!
