Damn.. you got Tracy's snub-nose, 3 versions of, arguably, the best Mego figures ever, Knievel doing his thing, and Action Jackson workin' a Tri-Tip. This may be the greatest ad ever.

What year is this from? Those look to be some of the earliest versions of DC's big 3.

Love the Dick Tracy set! Never seen that before.

It's from the Walden's 1973 Christmas Catalog.

Fun little tidbit about Aldens: Along with Montgomery Ward, they were the only so-called "catalog house" to offer three of the four 1st Wave Heroes (side note: Aquaman was NEVER offered, in any Christmas catalog, ever!) for that inaugural Christmas. JC Penney, SEARS, Simpson's, Eaton's, Speigel — none of the other catalogs offered these "Big Three" right out of the gate, in 1973. Of these other big retailers, only SEARS included ANY WGSH in 1973… tucking tiny, black-and-white photos of Superman and Batman in the "discount" section at the back of the catalog, almost like an afterthought.

Hooray for Aldens!

now it would cost you 75 bucks or so for repros.

1973 was a darn good year! Great to see nice sharp images of these ads. I like the way the photographer nearly pulls Superman out of his boots to get the forced perspective shot he was looking for.

$5.99 for RC Batman, RM Robin and throw in Superman for good measure, where's Aquaman? I would have dished out another $2.00 for him as well
gee wiz.

He probably took the boots off and then couldn't get them back on because they are skinny boot versions of both Supes and Bats

[toys2cool]

umm.. I'll take them all please

[toys2cool]

to think that there may be an old lady somewhere who picked these up for her grand kids on sale and never gave it to them and still has these in her attic lol

It's always great to look at Megos, but I'm mesmerized by that Dick Tracy set.
