^^ LOL, what the?? Are those like the first Cross-Overs like they have now?? That Axe thing is crazy. LOL.

yeah they were kinda like Transformers. Waaaay before the Crossovers came out

That's pretty innovative for it's time. :)

I remember getting all of mine from KB toys

I don't think we have that store here. :] Great gems you got there, though!

Our KB shut down years ago

Looks like I have more than I thought:

The best part is the 3/$10 price tags

Haha, wow, those look absolutely insane!!!

just happened to find the Iron Man one on BBTS

Didn't buy any, but has anyone bought any of the new Avengers scratch offs at their local convenient stores yet?? Each one has a different character on it from the movie heh

A "Spider-Bat"...WTF?

Seeing these makes me think of this hilarious (and incredibly inappropriate) Marvel Transformer....its the only gun they didn't think to check Frank for....

The Marvel Shape Shifters were done by Toy Biz long before Hasbro did Crossovers. IIRC, they were KB Toys exclusives in the United States and did not do very well (as shown by that price tag).

I remember back then Marvel fans didn't like them (little to no articulation to the figures, unless it was due to the transformations, sculpts were ruined by the gimmick, etc, etc.) and Transformers fans didn't like them because they weren't TFs and treated them like knock-offs. In my personal opinion, they were worse than Crossovers. Look at poor Morph - he shoots a missile out his ass!

Of course, now they're a great little novelty, especially as a precursor to Crossovers. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the guys who worked on the Shape Shifters ended up working on Crossovers too.

On a side note, KB itself went out of business for good about 2-3 years ago.

They're so terrible. Either Morph or Iron Man got the worst of it.

It's almost like they weren't even trying, making Rhino into a Rhino.

I'm glad someone out there enjoys them. I don't think I ever would. ;)

So was the doppleganger a clone?

check out the infinity war crossover in the early 90's great Ron Lim art

Nice, getting my kids into comics too!
Nice Pete, ya haven't seen you pull a haul in a while.
That's why I'm feeling the new Green Hulk when it comes out, his shoulders aren't as massive as the other first Hulks that came out.
You should be able to score him at Target in the revision wave.
Whoa those are pretty neat, I'm surprise they didn't make Wolverine though.
Great for kids though:P

Is the Punisher one real? If so, I'm picking that sucker up. Talk about a conversation piece....

"Is there a missile launcher coming out of that guy's crouch?"

Simple answer: "Yes."

Yeah that's it right there, the first one that metalized. I might still have it, but
I'm not completely sure. Might have given it to the cousin.

Also that's not the spider slayer I had, mine was a black single scorpion. Although frankly my spidey figures have all disappeared... My house sucks, ha ha ha!

Oddly enough that spider bat is pretty accurate to his shinobi counterpart...

I had that, the regular one, and a metal one.

Got my LEGO Batman polybags today! YES YES YES :D
