Star Trek TAS Jigsaw Puzzles

Hi, I'm new to the forum and curious about a group of Star Trek "The Animated Series" (TAS) jigsaw puzzles I acquired back in the 80's. Each puzzle is 10" X 14", came in plain box with no signage, image or description, but included a poster of the puzzle that's the same size. I guess they're 150 pieces as they're still sealed in the original plastic bags (see attached photo). I've seen online pictures of the HG Toys 150-piece Star Trek TAS puzzles and their boxes, but none have shown these posters. I assume they are by HG Toys, but the only printing is the Copyright "1974 Paramount Pictures Corporation" and the picture title. The three titles are "Battle on the Planet Klingon", "Battle on the the Planet Romulon" and "Captain Kirk and Officers Beaming Down". Could someone please comment if these are the HG Toys items and if the posters were always part of the package? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hmmm... can't get the image to appear in this message.

The m16 looks ljn as well. The Cheron blk/wht head looks original. The bearded head obviously a Klingon with a beard added. The batgirl looks like ctvt ftc to me. Something about the hair. The crossbow parts look very yellow so I suspect they are doc mego. The pick, shovel and top knife I am 90 percent sure are coleco Rambo pieces.the bottom knife no idea. The glasses if they're real would be Clark Kent pieces ... I would guess repro honestly just due to rarity. The yellow boot looks like a ctvt repro of a batgirl boot.

Hello all. I am hoping that some of you can help me identify some of the items in the pictures I have here. I believe they are all Mego items, but I am not 100% certain. The Bat Girl head is different than the ones I have seen because she has a black mask instead of blue. Any help with identifying these would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance.

The rifle with the chipped silver paint is LJN, either Rookies or SWAT teargas rifle.

There's a lot of love here for Super Joe. I even did 12" versions of him.

Omg that's him! Amazing! Thanks for sharing! Going to read all about him and tell my brother, who could not remember what the figure was... We used to make him drive the Tonka jeep with the removable wheels. Thanks for the help!

Here's a stumper... When we were kids, my brother had a Mego-like action figure that came with some kind of backpack that had a light in it. He had a beard and a black jumpsuit. But I don't think he was Mego or GI Joe (unless they made Joes smaller than the classic 12 inch). I feel like that light up backpack was a big deal, was it gold colored? But he might have had some kind of action features with his arms when you pressed on his back. Any idea what I'm talking about?

The real SI glasses are a softer plastic with a rougher molding, almost cat's-eye shape, and curved temples. For a picture, please go to the top of this page and choose "Mego Museum Links" > "Accessory Check" > "WGSH" > "Secret ID" > "Clark Kent" > "Glasses.

(Sorry, I'm terrible at links.)

Thank you both. I figured that some of the items were repros as I also found some repro planet of the apes items in the lot. How can I tell if the glasses are real or not?

[PNGwynne]

Those black glasses are not SI, they are originally from Barbie/Ken and have been reproduced. The black-masked Batgirl head is a FTC repro, as is the straight yellow female boot.

Mego Klingon head with a beard panted on by someone, the black and white head is Star Trek Cheron, although I can't tell if it's a original or EMCE version? also looks like someone took a purple marker or ball point pen and drew an eyebrow over the white side eye. The yellow female boot looks like Batgirl, can't tell if it's original or reproductions.

The black weapons and shovel-pick don't really know, but I'm sure someone here will.

If those black eye glasses are what I think they are, we need to talk privately, but again from the pic, I'm thinking
their repros too.

Thanks again for the help. I placed my bids based on the info I got here and research I did to follow up, but got outbid on all the lots by a prett ysignificant margin, so somebody wanted these a lot more than I did it seems. The money went to a good cause though, so all is good.

The guy next to the Green Hornet is Spirit from one of the later 12" GI Joe lines. I bought one to customize an Apache Chief...but never got around to it.

The same guys with different clothes were also sold as Rapid Deployment Force. There's one dressed like the Punisher.
