The beyonders were still a feature of marvel in 2015.

exactly im really just about to give up....but i cant stop buying transformers

I felt the same way, then i turned around and dropped 4k on funko pops. i hope they're not just in it for the money too.

The truth is, I really enjoyed them all... and the widespread marketing scheme made it all a reality. From the pages of much beloved comics to actual toys you can hold and play with, with your imagination being the limit.

I actually apologized to my mom about it in my twenties. She said she understood.

I would ask if the Kang figure is still there, but I'm assuming the Woolworth's is long gone.

My woolworth's store closing was that same year. I'm assuming the Kang went unsold. LOL

rumor has it the figure still sits in the building to this day... or in the rubble of the now plowed and destroyed building.. I dunno which. I don't live there.

Michael Cabrera i remeber woolworth mine had a diner made the best grilled cheese

I miss Woolworth. I think they are still around in Australia.

Marvel was my favorite comic book company when I was growing up , but the DC Super Powers figures where so much better than the Secret Wars figures. I had the Doctor Doom and Kang figures ( and yes I was happy to see a Kang figure :P).

I totally agree with you. Like you I really loved these action figures even though they weren’t the best figures out there at the time. What mattered is that they were Marvel Characters and I’ve always been a Marvel fanboy since before I could remember. Overall I’m sure you have find memories playing with and collecting these childhood action figures.

I always wanted one of the action figures but never got one. Marvel was amazing back in the 80s.

Same here. Whereas everyone I knew as kid watched Superfriends, I watched Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. I wanted the Secret Wars figures but only got Doctor Doom. Oh well.

my favorite Spidey figure of all time

agreed. while the figures seemed to slender for some some of the characters, like Wolverine for example, it was perfect for Spidey's build... He always seemed too bulky in later figures.

mine were at the new dollar general right beside the osco next to the safe way in N.L.R arkansas....i dont think any of those stores still exist there

No freaking way!!! :O

Nice

I used to have that thing for years. No clue what's become of it.

I still have 1, used to use it w/ my GI Joes

He's so cool.

I had him too. He looked pretty cool. Oddly enough even tough he was in the Secret Wars comics. He was quickly killed off if I remember correct.

Dave John killed off, probably, because of the wreck he would make of the story. Lol.

@@scottwarren3948 I wonder if he wasn't simply forced on the writers because they made the figure.

Me too, i think Kang is the only one I still have.

Very true.

The Beyonder must have seen some good in him.

He was a member of the X-Men at the time

No, Magneto was NOT a member of the X-Men, nor had he been at that time. The heroic Magneto were developed partially as a result from secret wars. Also, Beyonder did not see something "good" in Magneto, the difference It saw between the heroes and the villains, was that the Villains had petty and selfish dreams and goals, whereas the Heroes also frequently were ready to put their lives on the line for something far greater than themselves, for ideals, and for people they don't know. Magneto, misguided in methods as he were, still had an ideal greater than himself, about Mutantkind. That's why he was grouped with the Heroes.

RubberyCat Thanks for the excellent explanation.😎

Familiar with this.

Ya, I couldn't imagine Spiderman without Venom...their making a Venom movie speaking of which!

I also wanted the Secret Wars toys, but I couldn't get any of them at the time. I was about 4 or 5 years old at the time and I was at a toy store (I think it was Kaybee toy store in a mall) and I wanted to get the Captain America figure. At the time, I thought having two dollars meant that I could buy ANY two toys, so I wanted Captain America and something else (both being more than two dollars). My older sister (about 14 at the time) stopped me and told me that I didn't have enough money and told me to put it back. I then argued with her and told her that I had two dollars (believing I could buy ANY two things I wanted) and that I could get them. We both argued in the store for a good five minutes (with my sister telling me that's not how money works. LOL) until my parents came over and took us out of the store. LOL. I ended up getting that Captain America figure many, many years later on ebay, and I have it sitting in my office. LOL.

John Penguin the 3rd good for you ::nods approvingly:: yup good for you

For this reason I would conclude that the figure is actually supposed to be Stark and not Rhodes. Mattel didn't seemed too concerned with making sure the figures represented the story accurately, as evidenced by other figures in the line not being in the story itself...

Mattel: Why do we care it's not like MARVEL's ever going to be popular (2018) Mattel (seeing the reviews for Infinity War): GOD DAMN IT!!!!!

The Daredevil figure is bad. It is nearly impossible to have a good one because the red dye in the plastic oxidizes. IT ruins the figure. To my knowledge, only the Daredevil figure suffers from this.

Thought I was the only one bothered about that.

When I was a kid playing with these toys, I always pronounced it mag-NET-oh too. It wasn't until the X-Men animated series came out, like ten years later, that I first heard him called mag-NEE-toe.

Dok-ter Mag-neat-oh

Yeah nerd cred loss

@@DoctorCataclysm Actually, it's a nerd cred bonus. Most of us pronounce it wrong because we've been comic nerds since before anyone ever spoke the name aloud.

I'd buy those.

And it changes every once in a while so you have several opportunities to play.

Toy Galaxy tonnes of fun

+John Gaither Could have been cool.

The classic version of her, the disco-era one. ^_^
