Synergistics Superheroes

I vaguely remember these target sets from toy shows, the art is classic DC style guide with the exception of that very disgruntled Wonder Woman. However, the sets below are not only a total shock but I now have a new quest in life...




I absolutely LOVE the mingling of Spider-Man with the characters from the Electric Company on merchandise. The teaming up of Spidey with Fargo North doesn't happen often enough for me. They should do a big treasury edition together, it'll sell dozens!

If you have these in your collection, let me know they exist, please?

That disgruntled Wonder Woman has always puzzled me. It looks to be the work of Dick Giordano, who normally drew a very beautiful, smiling WW (and is one of comics top artists at drawing lovely gals). I seem to remember it originated with a puzzle where WW is being fired upon by bad guys with guns, hence "THE LOOK". Taken out of context, she looks just downright surly.

The Curt Swan Superman pose got used a lot (I remember having a giant foam mat with that same picture), but a Swan Batman like on the Super Heroes dart board is a rarity past the 60s.

I have that Spidey album, (purchased from a member here). Corny, but cool. I remember those target games, but the only ones I ever saw were just plain point targets.

The Superman-shaped darts looks pretty cool.

Yeah, I remember seeing that a lot. I had a metal waste paper bin with the same artwork.

The Wonder Woman was used on that giant coloring book they did too.

We had the yellow Spidey web ball-dart set, so they did exist. Sadly, mine does not. I can't say I've seen any around either, I'd guess the foam did not hold up well to years of temperature, probably dried into brittle flakes of dust.
