Plastic drapes can be dramatic on a static figure, but you can't play with them or adjust the drape. Boo hiss!<br /><br />Tom, as best as I can tell, Mike Nasser/Netzer was responsible for the return of the pie. Certa only drew a circle toward the end, and then Dick Dillin just did a generic belt buckle. Nasser seemed to set the style back to early Silver Age with the brow/pie/etc., and was immediately succeeded by Curt Swan and Dick Dillin in that respect. Jim Starlin, George Pérez, Pat Broderick and Chuck Patton followed suit in the '80s, establishing the image translated into plastic here.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-40730295078493924992009-09-11T14:40:50.466-05:002009-09-11T14:40:50.466-05:00The smile on this figure is wonderful.
There'...The smile on this figure is wonderful.<br /><br />There's something so fantasicly "He-man/GI Joe" 1980's action figure style about this. I must find one now. :)Bookgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818125401769011993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-48362179630932390262009-09-11T06:08:07.345-05:002009-09-11T06:08:07.345-05:00My Martian Manhunter is in better shape (still mis...My Martian Manhunter is in better shape (still missing the cap, though), but my Cap is in much worse shape, so I guess it balances out.<br /><br />I'd love to get my hands on MM's cape, along with Dr. Fate's. Those cloth capes really display great. And I always liked how they had custom capes -- not just one size fits all.Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-11807346676141373952009-09-11T02:03:06.327-05:002009-09-11T02:03:06.327-05:00I like the pie slices, too.
