Pocket Super Heroes Catwoman and Robin

I have a handful (or perhaps I should say pocket full) of these DC Direct Pocket Superheroes figures lying around Toyriffic Central.

They are basic and silly but charming in their own way. And who can resist a Silver Age Catwoman?! This one is probably my favorite of the few I have. for all the costume designs Catwoman has had over the years, this one may be my favorite.

I picked these figures up from the flea market many years ago, and my oldest daughter played with them for a while. I had actually forgotten that I owned Catwoman and Robin ans they had been stored separately from the other few I have at hand (Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Dr. Fate and Spectre.)

I'm a fan of all things Robin, so this one will have to be added to my primary Robin display now that I have dug him up again after all these years.

A Little Dick

I found this Mego Pocket Super Heroes Robin at a thrift store a few months back in their mad messy toy bins. I couldn't believe he had ended up there all alone - I kept digging through the detritus of so many dead young dreams in the vain hopes of finding Batman or Superman or even Penguin; anyone else who might have accompanied Robin on his strange journey from someone's collection to a thrift store in downtown Santa Cruz.

 He's in great shape - he had to have been cared for or about over the past few decades. Only to be tossed to a dirty thrift store and sold for fifty cents. Thankfully to me, who will continue to appreciate him, even if he's forever stuck in that wanker pose.

I mean 'ready to punch crime in the jowls!' pose. Yeah, that's it!
