Spider-Man 1967 & JWA Sheriff Garrett

With great power comes great responsibility.  Those immortal words will always be associated with the Amazing Spider-Man.  Aside from the comic and its' ever growing legion of readers, Spider-Man had a color Saturday Morning Cartoon.  Aurora recognized the potential behind the Marvel Super-Heroes.  Although we did get Captain America and the Hulk, Aurora never released models of the Fantastic Four.
I have never put the web on his hand because it is just so thick I think it detracts from the rest of the model.

Johnny West Adventures Sheriff Garrett

OK, who doesn't love a Sheriff Garrett with a royal blue body and white gear?  Had to have him.  I am not sure about the blue hard plastic accessories.  I think maybe metallic blue would have been better, but what they hey?  I usually pose him with the white neckerchief instead of red because the red can look too ostentatious.  He does look good with the red one when he's headed out on the town on a Saturday night though.
This is the end of the actual Marx Johnny West series of figures.  Next up:  some of The Customs!
