UPDATE 12/28/19: Master set pictures.
Timmee, later Processed Plastics Corp, gave up its license to make marvel comic figures and remolded them into 70mm fantasy figures. You can still tell which hero or villain most of these were originally. These started showing up in header bags in the early 1980s. Some of the coolest figures ever made.
There are three generations of bags, two vintage and one modern. The first generation are glow in the dark figures in bright green, orange, blue and white. The second generation are in pastel green, purple and yellow. The modern figures are pea green, gray, brown, black and red. The modern Timmee could drop more new colors anytime.

These look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI had a single figure of the "hulk" guy with the club that was about 50mm high. Have you ever seen any other smaller versions of these figures? Could this be one of Timmee's original Marvel line?
ReplyDeleteThey used the Hulk figure in a later set of cavemen in much smaller scale. I wish they made the others in the same scale, but I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteDoctor Doom, and Thor I recognize. Who are the other four supposed to be?
ReplyDeleteThe other are (or rather were) Hulk, Red Skull, Human Torch & The Falcon.

ReplyDeleteIn Brazil, in the late 70's until the mid 80's we had the Marvel figures that gave rise to these TimMee figures. They left for a brand called Gulliver. Apparently they were launched in Argentina too. https://i2.wp.com/republikapop.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Gulliver-Marveljpg.jpg?resize=750%2C712
Thank for the link. I have been trying to collect a set of the US Timmee versions. I am down to needing three; Hulk, Doc Octopus and Ironman.
