AHI Super Hero Merchandise

<--previous • index • next-->

1974 saw Superhero merchandise take a dramatic rise after a lull in the late 1960s. Predictably, Batman was leading the charge, the character's popularity insured by reruns of both a live action and two different animated series.

Although much younger a character than Batman, Spider-Man's popularity had grown to phenomenon by 1974 and he too had an animated series, three monthly titles and a daily comic strip. Everything the Caped Crusader got, the webslinger got as well. I love the early test art for the Bat Cycle, it looked very different upon release.

These appear to be the two earliest licensed Parachute figures in the AHI roster, still upset they never did monsters....
