I expect to see Spider-Man and Cap, bonus points for Sgt Fury despite it being a German pistol but Kid Colt Outlaw? That has to be one of his only pieces of merchandise ever. I don't remember him packing a Saturday night special but whatevs...
It's no surprise Kid Colt didn't end up on much merch--Western comics were seeing their decline right as Marvel was becoming a hot licensing property, and why pay the fees when cowboys are so easy to "genericize", but it's kind of neat to see him pop up on "transitional" stuff.
Due to recent events, I'm limiting comments to google account holders only. Sorry if you're a decent person affected by this but the spam has gotten weird.
I love your beautiful blog I really liked your article as it is very interesting to read thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice end-of-summer-post.

Those Beretta and Luger water pistol molds were everywhere in the 70s and 80s. I wonder who made the original molds.
