    I would have really dug those as a kid! Saw a set on ebay not long ago and they were pretty expensive.

        Well, aside from the similarity of the logo, they never claimed to be Super Friends geared.

        That said, it is something we as kids woulda thought about for more than a minute, I'm sure.

        There's a SUPER HEROES CHECKER SET from that era with a similar logo. All the main "Super Friends" were there (although the culturally-sensitive TV ones weren't).
        What was interesting with that particular product, is that villains like CAPTAIN BOOMERANG, DR. LIGHT and THE SHARK were included, and LEX LUTHOR, of all villains, was left out.

          I used Super Friends liberally, Combex is a UK company and I doubt the show aired there. They could have used it if they want though, the brand did not cost extra.

            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

              I pretty much figured that. I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't reflected a few times in the thread, and even then its a good chance that most (or all) were playing along.

              I guess I just wanted an excuse to mention the SUPER HEROES CHECKER SET!

              P.S. The 70s licensing stuff fascinates me. These guys were in charge of our destinies BIG time.
