We?ll forgive the misspelling of ?Gotham? on this set?s interior, mostly because this set finally allowed us to act out our Super Friends fantasies. It doesn?t seem important in retrospect, but that concept was the coolest thing ever in 1979. Sure, it never appeared in the movies, but this original Star Wars set from Kenner took a page from Lego by allowing you to create and build your own droids, including a movie-accurate, three-legged R2D2. The wonderfully illustrated interiors pretty much cram every bit of Bat-lore in there, including Bat-Mite, his giant Tyrannosaurus Rex statue and the giant penny. The world would be such a better place if getting out of our workplaces involved us yelling ?Wheeeeee!?īigger sometimes is better and Mego went all out with this four-foot tall skyscraper where Bruce could throw Playboy-esque parties and Batman could do his brooding thing in the Batcave. The Marvel heroes headquarters includes an elevator, search light, cannon and a really big slide.
Spider-Man and Friends are super heroics for the toilet-training set and while a smiling Hulk is perplexing, it doesn?t really matter. It was so cool to strap Frankenstein to his table and have Dracula rise from his crypt you?d forget the fact that it?s not likely these dudes would actually ever hang out, except in The Monster Squad (where it didn’t work out so well). Remco married the Universal Monsters with the pure goodness that is the 3 ?-inch action figure in 1980 and also created a combination carrying case/creepy house playset that could hold all the characters.
Did parents in the 70s even pay attention to the sick shit that was going on? Mego didn?t stop there two of the other Planet of the Apes sets had operating tables where the Apes could perform surgery on their human prey. 10) Planet of the Apes Forbidden Zone TrapĪ post-apocalyptic city where intelligent primates trap lowly humans to possibly subject them to medical experiments?! You have to admit that?s all kinds of dark for kids to play with, especially in the 1970s.
