we want a rightly made double neck.. not this.

I'm sick of newer Classified figures NOT having that neck hinge, its causing me to boycott! Real Talk

Nice video, thanks!

Controversial opinion but I do consider the toybiz wave the lost wave 😅

If you are looking to get into retail, you should probably go with a price point similar to legends or those GI Joe classifieds don't go the collector route. The price points on NECA and the other brands is absurd hell even legends and classifieds are getting insane. What is off with the price points as you stated is the fact that they know the adult collectors will pay that price for those figures.

The same thing that happens to everything else and the one thing that will collapse brick and mortar store the advent of online shopping

Great episode I loved the Super Powers line when I was a kid

Will be cool an update of this on 6 scale, like the figures of Batman 60's show of Mcfarlane.

Wanna make this video feel even more nostalgic? Pretend the packing tape being used in the background is a dot-matrix printer!! 🤣❤️ Absolutely awesome video Bobby!!!

I would add in the Snare Arm Swamp Thing from the Swamp Thing line. It fits in so nicely with the Super Powers line.

Just complaining, wow.. His complaining making me want to toss my Action Force in the trash.

I still have my Superman with his cape. Martian Manhunter is missing his cape. Those are my last two left. And I still have a 89 Batman with the retractable belt

Awesome video. I have Superman and GL which I received for Christmas in 1985. Unfortunately, I was too young to appreciate the line. However, I did have about 3/4 of the ToyBiz stuff later on. It's funny, but I always wondering why the card-back images of the ToyBiz figs were so much better than the actual toys.

I Boycotted your figures because of Analog Toys Shitty attitude and Foul Mouth! You get no more of my $$$

This took e down memory lane. Thank you, Bobby.

Excellent job ...talking about the Super Powers line.!! .... Thank you.!! I think it WAS one of best... (if not THEE best for its time ...and scale.) I think it still holds up.... as one of the Best...!! I love my Collection ... and I'm so glad I still have them.!!

Capt, that's an awesome collection! One day I hope to have a glass case for my figures. I have to pause the video, and zoom in and out just to absorb it all. Super Powers was not on my radar as a 70's kid. Cannonball Run, Smokey & the Bandit, BJ & the Bear, Convoy, Airwolf, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, A team, Transformers etc.. made me a fan of vehicle toys! As an adult I got heavy into DC classics/club infinite Earths. I have 99% of them. The homages paid to SUPER POWERS were awesome. often it's a scale issue therefore, I often cherry pick MacVerse. Picking up characters that Mattel didn't make. Highly appreciate you sharing your SP + collection with us, Capt! ✌🏼

Bobby isn't the bitter ex at all...noooooooooo...

So classic!

This line came out when I was a teen and too emberassed to get figures anymore (and no idea what to do with them even had I worked up the nerve) but I loved looking at them in the toy isles. It brought back (and still does) of my own childhood favorites, the Mego Pocket Heroes. It was awesome seeing which ones we'd hoped for but never got (like Flash, GL and Green Arrow) and ones that we never dared hope for (Dr. Fate? An actual Earth-Two character??). Some choices were puzzlers though; no Supergirl or Two-Face but the Golden Pharoah and Cyclone? And some were disappointing after so long a wait: NOT the green-skinned Brainiac or Bubble helmeted spandexed Mr. Freeze I grew up with. And a Plas whose only gimick is a longer neck? Even a bendy figure of him would've been more appropriate. Shame the cartoon didnt last long enough to showcase some other greats, like the LSH or Black Lightning so we could've seen at least a few more figures.

The suntan on that LJN Hulk Hogan is impressive.

This was a really fun video to watch, I love listening to nerds, talk about their nerd shit❤❤

I'm pretty sure that Cyclotron and Golden Pharoah were just made up for the toy line. Also, I'm a bit older than you, and I'm not sure I'd call Hawkman a "B list" hero. He was a much bigger deal back then. He had his own comic series that ran for a long time, and he and Hawkgirl were JLA mainstays. They were even frequently featured on the old Superfriends show that inspired this toy line. I've got a bunch of these figures, plus the Batmobile. I've added the new Invisible Jet and Whirlybat from the new Super Powers line, too. I'm not planning on getting them all, just the ones I really like. Or if I find a good deal!

The Super Powers Collection was great. I have the DC Universe Classics Super Powers Riddler. They still used a Green Lantern body in those awful colors. I love it lol

As a kid I got Robin, Flash, Hawkman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Brainiac, Joker, Lex Luthor, Dr. Fate, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm off the shelf between 84-86, mostly from K Mart . . . BUT had so much fun hunting the figures down between 1988 - 1990 at the very back leftover aisles of Salvation Army, collector stores, Kay Bee Toys & Thrifty & found Darksied, Mantis, Kalibak, Green Arrow & Penguin. The rest I got from comic shops, and small Comic Conventions (Shrine Audiorium); and found Mr. Miracle through a local comic book shop insider as "the guy" in 1992 . . this was pre-internet & he sold it to me for $100 in 1992, and he had to vet me at a McDonald's in Burbank to make sure he was selling to a legit collector - like a geek drug deal going down, after I passed his muster by listening to him blabber of how awesome a collector & insider he was, I paid him the $100 cash for a MOC Mr Miracle which I immediately opened in front of his face with my quarter pounder fingers! He just about fainted when I did that . . . TOYS ARE MEANT TO BE PLAYED WITH!

This is so cool. I had about 7 of these figures during the '80s. I played with them a lot. Dr. Fate was my favorite. At the time, I had no idea who he was.

I jad some OG SuperPowers figs but I remember that black Batman the best. I had one with the '89 movie carding (not to mention a Bob The Goon fig) and he was top of the top pile for a while. Even as a kid I wanted figures that looked like the characters in the mvoie...I didn't want a brightly coloured dayglo Batman with a neon talking street luge, I just wanted a Batman like the one from the movie. Same reason I always hated the Kenner Predator and Aliens lines. They finally make a toy line of my fav movies and make them look ridiculous!?!? No thanks

This was my childhood. My favorite character has always been Captain Marvel Shazam. This was before the internet, so the way you found out about new toys was at the store. It's one of my favorite memories going into K mart to pick a toy for mowing the lawn. Walking into the toy area, and there he is what a moment .

Awesome review ❗️

Hi, I was 7 when this line released. I grew up in nyc and the toy stores never stocked Superman, Batman, Joker. I went to Kay Bee or Toys R Us 2 - 3 times a week yo get more guys in the line. For some reason firestarter, wonder woman, penguin, flash and green lantern were always stocked. I did end up getting Superman, Darkseid, Batman for 55$. It was at a comic book store in New Jersey called Good Grief. I miss those days ALOT!

Nice haul sir

Agreed... It was darn near perfect and SUCH a nostalgic throwback for me. I bought several of them, but the bulk of my collection came from the Shell Oil promotion. I kept finding coupons to get one for free (or cheap) with a fill-up, so I hounded my parents to go there. I've been tempted to regain some of that nostalgia by getting the equivalent figures in the DC Multiverse line, but that's too much money and too much space and I've already missed some of the ideal figures for it. The McFarlane Super Powers is out because the sculpts on Superman and Batman are so bad compared to the originals, and I have issues with spending real money on deliberately retro, poorly-articulated figures like those and ReAction. So I'll have to make do looking at collections like yours!

This is my all-time favorite line as a kid.

What do you think about DC Universe Classics? I don't collect the old Super Powers but i collect the newer version from McFarlane

I was born in 78 and seeing this brings back memories. My favorites were He-man, GI joe, and Transformers but I also had some superheroes that I liked.

Fun to hear your stories as a kid with this great line!

Thx Bobby love the video awesome collection 😊

That black Batman from Brazil is gorgeous. How hard it is to find one?

Not every day you see a Dick Tracy "The Blank" figure on card just hanging out on a random shelf... Nice collection 🍻

This line should have lasted a couple more years. Kenner's big mistake was focusing too much on Kirby's New Gods characters (Darkseid, Orion..etc) and their own made up characters (Cyclotron, Golden Pharoah) instead of capitalizing on more known (and necessary) characters...Bizarro, Supergirl, Sinestro, Riddler, Scarecrow, Catwoman and of course the Teen Titans which were insanely popular at the time.

Please more toy history analysis videos

Awesome collection! I loved this line as a kid.

GI Joe got me into comics. Secret Wars got me into Marvel comics. Super Powers got me into DC comics. Green Lantern was the first figure I purchased based on my dad knowing who he was and having read the comics when he was a kid. My favorite of the line by far was Firestorm. Absolutely love the character.

Cyborg came to Brasil too...

I too am a super powers fan/collector. Bobby, I still had to laugh: I share your view that “figures need to breathe” hence why I shake my head with going to a blister card for series 4 - I want to keep the packaging, but they need to breathe…. And then safely go back into their chamber to display and store. If you are trying to cut costs by going to blister, I for one will pay the additional $3 the box packaging allows.

I remember the Martian Manhunter being my favorite Super Powers figure as a kid, I just enjoyed the green alien look.

MY FIRST AND FAVORITE TOYLINE AS A KID! EXACTLY WHY I HOPED TODD WOULD MAKE MULTIVERSE DARKSEID SUPER POWER STYLED! Batman was my very first super powers figure. Did you get your multiverse Darkseid Bobby? What do you think of it? Cant wait for super powers multiverse dr fate, green arrow, shazam, cyborg, brainiac and mister miracle!!

I was 11 when Super Powers came out and I was hooked. Such a great assortment of characters from DC. I still have my original figures(I don’t have them all from the line)and the Batmobile. With McFarlane reintroducing the line it’s great to see it return. He’s doing some deep Dives and variants. But this original Super Powers line just came out at the right time.

Sounds like someone is shoveling ice in the background :)

Bobby is exactly right, you can never have enough bad guys.
