Leaf Comicbook Candy Secret Origins Mini-Comics

Sometime around 1981 or so when I was about 10 years old I headed down to the local drugstore with some change burning a hole in my pocket... Our local drugstore had a full comics rack, lots of candy, cheap toys, and a soda fountain. But there was something new among the candy selections on this day!

It was Leaf Comicbook Candy! The 6 x 8 x 7 ¼" cardboard counter top display contained 36 mini comics, each 2 ¾ x 4 ¼" featuring the secret origins of eight different DC Comics characters including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Hawkman, and the Justice League of America.

1970s Trinity

Back in the 70s Batman joins Wonder Woman and Superman at the Hall of Justice.

A while back I'd gotten both the NECA Batman Classic TV Series Adam West and the NECA Superman The Movie Christopher Reeve Action Figures, but I never wanted to display them without a Lynda Carter Wonder Woman figure to go with them. Well recently Mattel released the DC Comics Multiverse Signature Colection Lynda Carter Wonder Woman Figure! It actually scales great with them. Here they are on a Hall of Justice Ultarama Display.

Review: The Ultarama Display System

The Ultarama is a complete action figure display system that is both flexible and customizable. With the use of the Ultarama's molded plastic platforms that contain 80 pre-molded peg holes and its proprietary pegging system, collectors can display their collections in three totally unique ways: stacked two levels high in the shape of a semicircle, clipped back-to-back in the shape of a circle, or configured as two separate and complete one level displays. With the purchase of additional Ultaramas, collectors can build their display many stories high!

Kenner Super Powers Collection

In 1984, facing the real possibility that Return of the Jedi would be the last ever Star Wars movie and with Mattel's Masters of the Universe and Hasbro's G.I. Joe figure lines breathing down their necks, Kenner was looking at a future without a franchise.

Deciding to go for the DC Comics brand of Super-Heroes, Kenner won the license away from Mego to begin production of the Super Powers Collection, one of the, if not the, best lines of 4.5 inch Super-hero action figures ever made! Along with the figures, there were also vehicles and playsets, such as the Batmobile and the Hall of Justice, produced. Unfortunately, the line would last for only 3 waves and was cancelled in 1986.

Super Friends League (Justice League Trailer Style)

There is no cartoons like the old ones! The classic vintage "Super Friends" TV series is back on the new "Justice League" trailer and the result can make your garndpa faint on the couch... Give it a try!

This actually looks cooler than the movie!
