If I only could choose one back in the day, this would be an all-day decision and the only thing I'm certain of is what I left behind would haunt me. Which would you have chosen?

Batman! I still have everything but the box, but man, I love that Infantino/Anderson box. Iconic!!!

At the time, and now, I'd pick Batman. But I had an Action Jackson one that I played the hell out of.

[cjefferys]

The only one of those I had as a kid was the GI Joe one (present from a random relative who didn't know I wasn't much of a Joe fan), but I would have vastly preferred the Batman or POTA one.

[pmwasson]

I had the Batman set and loved it.

[Myoldtoys]

I had the Evel Knievel ones.

[Nostalgiabuff]

i definitely had the apes one, probably had Batman too. I had a lot of fun with those as a kid.

[PNGwynne]

Batman, yeah!

I'm trying to recall what I was really into in '76. besides cosplaying the Bicentennial. Mego, SMDM, Pulsar, Electrawoman and Dynagirl, & MOnster Squad.

Think of those last two as Colorforms, wow!!

Batman, yeah!

The bicentennial to me as a Canadian kid was like watching a bar mitzvah, I was fascinated but not part of it and certainly not invited.

[The Nawd]

Had the Batman set for sure, I probably had the Apes set too. Loved Colorforms. Still do actually.

Even as a goy, you're still a mensch.

[Wee67]

I had Batman so, according to tautological logic, that would've been my choice.

Any pics? I loved the Bicentennial and everything associated with it but I don't know if I would have gone beyond a Spirit of '76 shirt.

[pmwasson]

I remember drinking a lot of 7up in '76 trying to get all the bicentennial cans.

[PNGwynne]

Somewhere, my mother has pix of me and my sisters in colonial costumes for the local Independence Day parade, and we were also in the local paper. I was nine then. My coat and breeches were black--in retrospect, I should have reused that costume for a pirate. I did reuse the dickey and cravate for Dracula.

I think I got my Mego Green Arrow that summer, jeez I loved that figure.

I remember drinking a lot of 7up in '76 trying to get all the bicentennial cans.

I was just thinking about those cans the other day at work.
Not sure what brought it to mind, but I was trying to remember how far we got on completing the collection back then.
