DC Super Powers Collection

DC Super Powers was produced by Kenner toys. It ran from 1984 - 1986. It featured redesigned action figures by the likes of Jack Kirby and George Perez. The line consisted of some of the most popular DC Comics characters, such as Batman, Superman and more. Each figure had an "action" feature and the line also included some impressive play sets and vehicles, including the now infamous Hall of Justice play set. There were three total series' made, but the line was canceled in 1986 even though additional figures, vehicles and play sets were in development.

Marvel Secret Wars

Mattel released a series of toys based on the Marvel Secret Wars 12-issue comic series. The line ran from 1984-1985 and featured a total of 16 figures as well as a few vehicles and play sets. The main gimmick for this line was that each figure included a lenticular "shield". The first two series of figures were part of the main North American release, while the third series was limited to overseas markets. This line was meant to compete directly with the DC Super Powers Collection by Kenner.
