Small enough to fit in your pocket...

In 1979, Mego revamped the Comic Action Heroes into the straight-legged Pocket Super Heroes (PSH).  Gone were the hunched-over stances, as well as several characters.  Though Shazam, Joker, and Penguin were not reintroduced as PSHs, the new line introduced several new figures; General Zod, Lex Luthor, and Jor-El  (Superman's father).  The new character additions were clearly chosen to capitolize on the merchandise boom initiated  by 1978's "Superman: The Movie."

The photo below features a very early PSH Catalog advertisement.  Note the prototype (and straight legged) Superman figures.  Also note the rest of the characters pictured are actually repainted Comic Action Heroes!  It's interesting to see the inclusion of Shazam, Penguin, and Joker.  Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Captain America, and Green Goblin all received the PSH treatment, but not until later releases.

Just as they had with the Comic Action Heroes, Mego offered the Batmobile and the Spidercar for PSH line.  The pictures below depicts the packaging for an early Spidercar.  Note the inclusion of Comic Action Hero figures.

 

 

 

 Later versions of the Spidercar utilized the correct, straight legged figures...

 

 

 

 

 

 

The packaging for the Batmobile and the Spidercar was redesigned in the early 1980's and featured newly created end of run packaging.  

 

An example of a late model PSH Batmobile.  Note the updated box design and graphics.  Examples of the Spider-Car have also surfaced, but are extremely scarce.
