Nice! I think the same company also made Batman, Spider-Man and Hulk switchplates.
Transogram made this Superman bank... perhaps one day, I'll have a photo to share with you that has all the paint on it!
OK, usually I tend to dismiss Imperial Toys carded toys, but this is pretty clever, the way they incorporated the Supermobile with a water rocket! If only they'd done one based on the rocket that brought baby Kal-El to Earth...
I LIKE this UK poster for Superman II! Very nice!
I'm not sure if AHI or Ben Cooper made this Superman jiggler...
OK, that's it for Superman this time around... now for some other stuff!
Are any of you more up to speed on the Thunderbirds than I am, and can tell me if this water pistol resembles any weapon used on the TV show? It's been way, way too long...
Here's some Time Machine stuff... I've probably written about this movie way too much, so I'll let the posters speak for themselves:
And here's some lobby cards for Tobor, the Great!
You know, I'd completely forgotten they made Tron action figures and vehicles until I came across this auction... tempting...!
And to complete this installment... some Man From UNCLE action figures!

now, i got that tron figure on the far right (the Red Guard) someplace...
and why do i think Tobor the Great might have been better if Charles Drake was really Charlie Drake? Not that many people, even in the UK, remember him ¬_¬;
one of my friends as a kid used to have that superman switchplate! it brings back memories!
Manic Man - I don't believe I've ever heard of Charles Drake myself!
Jay - Happy to have brought back some memories!
I'm not quite sure about Charles Drake, but for Charlie Drake, well.. you could look around for the odd video of his but they seam pretty rare.. i don't like the place, but here someone's half arsed way of sharing a old song of his: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoBXAUNU1HE&feature=related
Should give you a good show of this work really.
Re the Thunderbirds water pistol: yeah, it does look like a gun carried by members of the team, and this toy was also incorporated in a Thunderbirds costume set that would have driven me wild with longing as a youngster:

JR21 was one of the primary makers of Gerry Anderson-themed stuff, and their products were especially faithful to the designs from the shows.
Thanks for the info, RAB, I appreciate it!
