The next installment of
Flashback Friday features the
MARVEL SUPER HEROES: SECRET WARS line by Mattel. Based on the 1984 comic book series of the same name, this was a milestone toy line for several reason: it was the first action figure line from Marvel, introducing many young fans to the Marvel Universe for the first time, boosting the sales of the comic books, and paving the way for the future. Plus, it features the first time many of the most popular characters were ever made into action figures! While there are many, many figures for some of these characters today, this is where they got their start.
014: Mattel's MARVEL SUPER HEROES: SECRET WARS
One of the reasons CTR was created was to build galleries of some of these classic toy lines. Since Secret Wars is one of my all-time favorite series, I've been very eager to feature the figures on the site.
I'll be running this one a little bit differently than previous editions...instead of featuring everything all at once, this Flashback Friday page will be updated as each figure is added to the Photo Archive.
Plus, I'm spreading this one out a bit:
Part 1 - (today) will feature the heroes from wave 1
Part 2 - (tomorrow) will feature the villains
Part 3 - (Sunday) will feature all of the figure from wave 2
Enjoy!
