I found these runmmaging through a closet recently. I never displayed them due to the dust issues with cloth on the figures, but I'm hoping to build a glassed display case for them and some vintage GI Joe's soon.

Wes, good score on the Batman statues!
I'm liking that Spider-girl too.

To me, that looks like something porno is going on between her breasts.

That AVENGERS set demonstrates something I have noticed about perceptions of the show. Stepping into Mrs. Gale's shoes, Emma only wore the leather catsuit in her first season, and then only occasionally. But it seems to have encoded itself genetically when it comes to how people remember the character. Thus, even tho this set has imagery from seasons after the debut of Mrs. Peel, her figure is still in the leather!

Exactly, JB. There was a second set that came out a year or so later with Steed in a dark blue suit and Emma in her blue jumper with the cutouts in the sides. And I believe they talked, too.

They sort of look like Steed and Emma in the Supermarionation Universe,
don't they!

FINALLY! After what seems like half a lifetime, one of the several
companies from which I tried ordering it came thru with the 1/18th scale
Hot Wheels version of the George Barris Batmobile from the old TV show.
Funny thing about this, at 11 inches in length, it is allegedly the same
size as the "huge" tin toy of the Lincoln Futura, the car Barris turned
into the Batmobile, that I had when I was a kid. I know stuff shrinks as
we get older, but. . . !!!!
Anyway, this goes with the previous Hot Wheels releases. . .

I'll always have mixed feelings about the TV show -- but that Batmobile... pure love!
