The Spider-Man drawing machine is an especially terrific toy, a friend of mine left one at my house for over a decade, I played with it a lot. I also like how there are two car sets on this page, kind of funny considering Peter Parker usually can't afford bus tokens.
Super Fun: The guys at Action Figure Insider created this clever commercial as an April Fools Prank yesterday, it's a modernization of the Kenner Super Powers Commercials but it also serves as a great parody of modern action figure collectors.
Speaking of Spider-Man: The Mego Marvel Comics Superheroes are being praised at the World's Greatest Toys Blog.

ReplyDeleteI think that drawing machine is the coolest thing ever! I would love to have one for myself. Question, though: are you supposed to use crayons with it?
ReplyDeleteI'm an avid fan of Spiderman. like others I also do collect its action figure. I enjoy playing with it together with my li'l brother. Good thing that it is easy to find.
