2 COOL COMIC COLLECTIBLES featuring Spider-Man

[Bartman256]

Here's another installment of Cool Comic Collectibles:

This time it's for 2 toys.

1st is a Ben Cooper Rubber Spider-Man figure from 1974. This bad boy is in mint including the elastic string & tag!
This piece is extremely important to me because it was one of my favorite toys as a kid. I found this on ebay several years ago and had to have it!

For those not familiar with Ben Cooper, he was a Brooklyn based business famous for those Halloween costumes we all wore as kids. Y'know the kind with the plastic mask & cloth or plastic outfit (depending on how old you are!).

This fig is about 6 inches tall. I remember there being a Superman and Batman too.

Nice One.

Next is a Spider-Man Code Maker kit from 1978.

All contents came in a plastic pouch with 2 belt slits on the back, so you could wear it around town.
Comes with a plastic watch, 2 different code breaker discs, the Morse Code light and the instruction card.
All near mint and unused. Thought it was a cool collectible, so I added it to the collection.

[Bartman256]

Nice One.


Damn you're fast Fury! Glad to see that injury hasn't slowed you down!

Thanks MJ. The good thing is, most of these items are small, so they don't take up a lot of room. Nowhere near the the amount of room this bust/statue hobby we all have takes up!

More to come...

You and me both . That picture took me back a long way, I remember the rides and every shop had those freaking toys, Stupid as hell, but you had to love them .......... thanks for the pic bartman !!!!!! :laugh: :laugh:

[Tony Coca]

I remember getting them at the train entrance at Coney Island.They came on that stick and that elastic string so you can make him bounce.

[Bartman256]

Well guys, glad I did good this time!

That's what makes this hobby so special to me. These comics and collectibles take me back to a simpler time...no job, no bills, no worries!

I forgot how I came across this, but if you search Ben Cooper, a bunch of stuff comes up. I used to just go through pages and pages of listings under Spider-Man. You'd be surprised the things you find!

I believe I paid around $25.00-$30.00 for it. Worth EVERY PENNY! The thing is in MINT. Plus it has the tag! For me, it was a real find!

Those things were great! Remember every last detail...even down to the copyright impression on the @ss. :laugh: If I remember correctly, my bro had a Superman too. Got them at a local shop although they were all over Coney back in the day. Man, Coney Island rocked back then...before I grew up & realized it was a dump.

What happened to your avatar?!? Darth Maul?

[madjazz]

What happened to your avatar?!? Darth Maul?
Primal - I like the Darth Maul. I switched to Nightmare for a while myself.

I noticed your avatar change too, MJ. Why Nightmare? Are you lobbying to get him busted?

[Primal]

Figured I'd give my Sunfire a break while Star Wars mania is going around. Speaking of which...just got back from watching it again. :buttrock: although I'm nowhere near Galactus' viewing schedule.
I like ur Nightmare Mad...Enjoyed him when he was fighting Ghost Rider in the early 90s.

[madjazz]

I'd love to see Nightmare get busted along with Dormammu. Those are the best two villains from the Doctor Strange mythos and are visually interesting. Baron Mordo was also a good villain, but I don't think the market that is not familiar with him would find a sculpt appealing enough to warrant producing him at this time.

I still haven't given up on Bi-Beast either. It seems like we need to educate some of the newer collectors on who some of these older characters are, so I'll periodically change to have an excuse to talk about some of them.

I had this as a kid and was very fond of it. I had totally forgotten about this. Nice eBay find! Now I'll have to go out and find one too!
