Kenner's Super Powers line had the action features. Squeeze the legs and Superman threw a punch. That was the whole afternoon, right there.
This is where we keep the DC. Mego's World's Greatest Super Heroes from the seventies. The Super Powers Collection from '84 to '86. Batman: The Animated Series figures from the nineties, when the show was better than it had any right to be. Multiverse and Classics for the modern shelf.
Super Powers figures wear in their own way — the action feature weakens and the capes wander off. We test what we can, we describe what we find, and we photograph the actual item.
We're still filling this shelf. Tell us what you're after.
