    Yeah one of those rare times where he was on clearance at some comics shop, and I figured he might look good on a shelf somewhere. Once out of the box, tho, he is fun to play with because of the articulation.

    's what I am saying. Swapping out Iron Fist for the utterly terrible Punisher is just a no-brainer.

    You'll get no argument from me on that front, and I'll happily exaggerate my claim by saying that it's an absolute crime...

    ...that BBP didn't produce a Gil Kane Danny boy, complete with implied slippers.

    Sad to report that I do have an Iron Fist knob in the house, though...

    ...but only because the aftermarket outfit that was offering up the fam I snagged chose to bundle Mr. Cheesy from the awful TV takes with my Bronze Age beauties.

    Castleknob is hilarious! He stays.

    You're entitled to your wrong opinion. ;) Even with the smile, I just can't give the character a pass. And I am not embracing it as irony, that's just a load of hoo-ha.

    Rei, I definitely remember those amazing robut racers. It's probably something that would never fly nowadays, or at least not in this interpretation, but that is some great design there. Your photos always make my nostalgic for many lost days playing dinkies in the sandbox (or on my grandmother's steps).

    Another one of those from my youth (in some iteration or other). Thanks Rei! These are great.

    Oh yes, I'm pretty sure this old man had both of these, definitely the green one anyway.

    ^ I also remember the green one! Thanks for posting these, Rei - I'm usually not one for nostalgia but this was fun to see again :)

    Pardon the uninformed question, but who made those vehicles?

    They're both of the Lesney Matchbox Superfast line, 1975. The green is #59 "Planet Scout", and the blue is #68 "Cosmobile"
