Marvel Comics have produced some great action figures over the past 25 years, but none more nostalgic and fun as ToyBiz's Famous Covers line. These cloth costumed 9 inch figures were a loving homage to the 8 inch figures of the 1970's - Mego's World's Greatest Super Heroes! We got action figures in doll form of all the classic, from Spider-Man to Captain America, to Iron Man, Wolverine and more. And of course there were some surprises along the way including the first ever Aunt May action figure. Marvel's Famous Covers is my all time favorite toy line as it combines the two things I love the most - comics history and action figures and I hope you enjoy this loving tribute to it's 25th Anniversary

Oddly enough my favorite thing about this line was how every figure had something wrong with it, one unique deviation that made them special.

You can remove the mask on Wolverine without it tearing. That stickiness is a post production secretion that came out of the materials the mask was made from. Once you remove it and give it a good cleaning with dishwasher soap and water, that should remedy the issue. I did that to mine about seven years ago and it remains completely normal. You probably want to clean off the head as well. Good as new! Also, if you want to maintain the pleather material that hasn't flaked much yet, you can give it new life by gently brushing on a coat or two of Modge Podge (FLAT) sealant. This is typically used to provide a protective coating on acrylic paints so it has a built in flexibility when it dries clear. It will provide added durability to the pleather and improved appearance.

@@CarbonScoring I made various characters using the Spandex body suits from Daredevil, Magneto, Vision, Thor, Green Goblin and Iron Man. The gloves and sometimes the boots could also fit. I usually had to customize new masks, belts and logos. Of course , I couldn't stretch anything made of pleather. It helped that the Famous Covers figures generally had large hands, feet and physiques for 9 inch figures while the Playing Mantis Captain Actions were a bit shorter and not overly muscular compared to some other sixth scale figures.

Great video as always. There was one two set that was missing and that was the Wolverine Comic to Film two set. You got a comic book accurate Wolvie and a Hugh Jackson Wolverine figure. I had this. I got it from Kay Bee. When I moved recently I got rid of a ton of stuff, this one being one of the things that was sold. I kept it in the original box, never removing it. Wish I kept it. I also got rid of all my Famous Covers as they were too sticky and were sticking together. I meant to have kept Spidey but I accidentally gave him away. I will have to rebuy him post haste.

For as long as I live, I will NEVER understand the appeal of these figures. The original 8" Megos certainly weren't perfect, but there were some figures that were at least acceptable.
