Just Doodling: Spider-Man's Rogue Gallery

My ability to post content may have been hindered for a bit. A couple days after Christmas, my external hard drive, which housed all of my Toy Box and Retro Spins stuff died. Man, I lost so much personal stuff. Fortunately, this series of pictures were sent via text a while back to my pops, so I had them preserved to download and post today.

This one took me a ton of time. Spidey and the background colors were two separate elements.

But, the true work like in the intricacies of the rogues gallery behind him. That webbing in between all of the circles took quite some time too. Overall, it was worth it for the end result.

 The end result is one that I would love to frame, and stick on my wall.

Energized (Remco)

1978 - 1979

There have been a ton of toys produced based on Marvel and DC Comic heroes. It seems like just about every toy company out there has produced some form of plastic item showcasing any one of the number of iconic characters from comic pages. As such, it's not surprise Remco got their chance in 1978 with their Energized line.

The concept for the figures was pretty simplistic with each of them featuring some form of motorized aspect in conjunction with a "string". For Spider-Man, Green Goblin and Batman this feature was designed to showcase the character climbing. Superman's feature was flying, and Hulks feature was pulling a stone wall down. Like we said, simplistic - But it works well for what it is. These are by no means bad figures.

If you couldn't tell by how Spider-Man got two figures (as well as a villain), and everyone else got one, Spider-Man was definitely the focal point of the line. This concept was hammered home by the only vehicles and accessories released for the line being all Spider-Man based.

In addition to the above, we've seen catalog photos of an Energized Spider-Man Command Center. However, we have never actually seen the physical toy. It's possible this item was never released.
