thanks for ...Hey Kentucky Packrat and Dan Briggs, <br /><br />thanks for explaining the Supermobile. Now it makes perfect sense...<br /><br />And yes, these toys are really gorgeous and well-made...thx for sharing your memories...<br /><br />best,<br />JohnJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-34130084374031471082009-12-01T16:17:01.264-05:002009-12-01T16:17:01.264-05:00This is one toy line I collected from the very sta...This is one toy line I collected from the very start. I still have my Hall of Justice that I saved up for and bought when I was 11 years old.<br />The toys were and still are very durable, and IMHO the best representations of Superman and Wonder Woman ever cast in Plastic.<br /><br />And for your info John, The Supermobile was introduced to allow Superman to go on defending metropolis in the face of losing his powers to Kriptonite, Magic or anything else that was getting him low..in fact, the Supermobile makes a story arc appearance in Action Comics #'s 480-483...Supes had to defeat Amazo using the Supermobile after the earth passes thru the Red Sun Energy cast off from Krypton's Sun....causing Amazo to reawaken and Superman to lose his powers.<br /><br />Hope this helps.Dan Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108282418206345401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-77464585439725770202009-12-01T12:44:06.565-05:002009-12-01T12:44:06.565-05:00IIRC, the Super Powers series (or maybe the SuperF...IIRC, the Super Powers series (or maybe the SuperFriends before it) had a show where Superman had to use his vehicle because someone (probably Luthor) had Kryponite and was wanting to use it.<br /><br />I loved the Delta Force One myself, and the Darkseid with the red plastic piece in the head that, when you shine a light at the top of his head, makes the eyes glow. I also had to have the Green Lantern, because Green Lantern is WAY cooler than the rest of them (Firestorm was #2, IMHO.)<br /><br />I still resent how the Superfriends (et. al) ignored Green Lantern, and how the DCAU never had Stewart use his ring well. But that's another rant.... :)<br /><br />I don't have the boxes, but I'm lucky to still have most of the action figures, ready to pass down to Number One Son's kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-83366077944502723172009-12-01T11:25:57.707-05:002009-12-01T11:25:57.707-05:00Will you adopt me?Will you adopt me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
