Young Samson and Goliath (1967) is a great example of the literal wish fulfilment of transforming into a figure of power.

While He-Man may be the most celebrated example now and Captain Marvel historically (Shazam!), young Samson has transforming the pet with the hero!

Daily Mail Order Toy Soldiers <Until Christmas>

The 132 Fighting Ships! (1964)

'3-D plastic classified pieces' in this complete game! Like others, its a basic game with secret set-up (use cereal boxes as a wall) and Helen of Toy rules.

What kind of idiots run my Bluesky account?

If one had asked me 'What superhero is most NYC?' I may have said

Doc Savage

The pulp hero had a resurgence of popularity decades back, and I link him to the Empire State Building.

When I asked my non-comic book reading spouse 'Which superhero is most NYC?', the reply was

Batman

<quote "Gotham is NYC">

Yes, Gotham in DC comics is not NYC, but it was clearly meant to be a version of it.

Which superohero is Most NYC?

If you go to NYC, it is clear its Spiderman. There is a wall of merch in Macy's, an impersonator in Times Square, etc.

The Thing is utterly absent. Cosplay is harder, but I saw an Optimus Prime, so no harder than that; its the lack of cultural currency.

These comic sidekicks make me smile. Something kinda Bowery Boys and humanizing, of 'why so serious?' about it all.

Maybe the next Robin should be a comic book expy of Curly Howard?

Daily Mail Order Toy Soldiers <Until Christmas>

The memorable Tank Trap - with exploding (rubber band) tanks!

A tank is a crawling, armor skinned, fire spitting, man-eating monster that preys on any helpless enemy!

But it can be stopped with courage and daring

The Jonny Quest episode Double Danger (1964) not only has an Evil Imposter Race, but the plot is Team Quest in Thailand for a hallucinogenic vine. The idea is long space trips are better if you are trippin'

Black Vulcan

This is a touchy topic

The character appeared in the premiere episode of the All-New Super Friends Hour in September 1977, in the segment "The Whirlpool", voiced by Buster Jones. The show was trying to be more diverse, and created several new characters to do so.

Another great imaginary scene

Woods Edge (1963) GI Battle Game for $1.00! Poised on a wooded slope overlooking a deserted town, all as peaceful as a postcard. Now you see the enemy moving in - this town has become an arena.

I stopped posting on Twitter a few weeks shy of two years ago. We had to wait for invites back then.

Bluesky has issues, but the 'Pros' far outweigh the 'Cons'. I'm
just a casual fan, who likes hanging out here with witty, knowledgeable, and just as geeky other fans.

It's been over two years since I left Twitter and I'm not gonna pretend BlueSky doesn't have its issues. But I'm so glad I left that hellsite and I am very grateful for all of my comic pals I've reunited with his on this site since then.

My vote for the best mail-order toy soldier ad ever, and one that graced many Bronze age comics, is Russ Heath's version of 132 Roman Soldiers (in an 'imaginary battle scene' of Roman against Roman)

Just soak this one in. Amazing.

Scene from a Kelloggs Sugar Smacks cereal commercial with Quick Draw McGraw and Baba Looey (1959). The whole commercial's visuals is the art being drawn....and possibly not by Hanna Barbera. The voice over actor is Barney Philips (Twilight Zone diner martian)

Wait.... who is that?

Is this a fun little Easter egg in Dynamites James Bond Casino Royale (2018) adapted by Van Jensen and Dennis Calero.

We readers are being given a synopsis of the British Secret Service, and look at "Clements Head of 00 Section"

I'll give you 6 guesses who that looks like

The Kelloggs Superman Dangle-Dandy is from 1955. Kelloggs was the primary sponsor of The Adventures of Superman tv show (and pushed to make it more kid-friendly)

Trivia: Kelloggs never had Clark and Lois do a cereal commercial together, as them 'having breakfast' would have been too suggestive.

Bonanza / Cartwright action figures from 1966 by American Toy. There is no Adam, but a 'Six Gun Slade' - I betcha that was Adam, but Adam just left the show so it may have been converted. 8" (Mego size) and not 12" GI Joe size.

American went under not long after. Best known for the Tressy doll
