Those are awsome to bad they never hit the toyshelves here

[Random Axe]

Okay, what the hell are those and how do I get one? I've never seen that toy line before.

[thunderbolt]

I take it the Superman pictured with Captain Marvel is from a different line? Shorter and different articulation, not to mention wheels!!

[Falstaff13]

Yes, I need to get these...

[Nostalgiabuff]

thos are cool. what scale are they?

[MegoSteve]

I don't think they are both from the same line. If you look at the picture that's on the package back, Superman's face looks different than the example in the photo. I would love to see the front of that package, because it'll give me another Japanese Superman toy to look for.

I have the Superman in the picture. It's a Japanese toy from Eidaigrip released in 1979 (or at least dated 1979) and stands about 4" high. The rollers on the back allow him to "fly" along a string like a zip-line. The box is pretty neat... red, white and blue with stars and stripes. He turns up on eBay frequently.

The packaging reminds me of the bootleg Shogun Warriors from Taiwan.

That set of diecast heroes looks pretty darn cool!

Anyone have any other of these other heroes! They look like fun! Are they much smaller than the Mego ones?
