I’m happy to say I managed to find Dr. Diabolic and Python at a toy show this past weekend! I’m not sure what four years of Diabolic grad school cost, but you only cost me seven bucks, you evil Airgam figure, you!

Awesome blog!

The big glowy guy in the playset looks to be from the Avengers Korvac saga ….. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518X6YbAEbL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

And Dr. Diabolic seems to be a copy of Korvac himself …..

In fact, even knowing that they were knock offs and cheesy at that time, I did own Piranha and Captain Laser with the helipack. Unfortunately, I don’t own them now…

One funny thing is that knowing than the names were in english (only to sound cool and supeheroic), I thougt that the “Red” on “Red Masker” came from his net, because “net” in spanish is “red”. “Masked” really sounded cool. Ha! Ha! You have a really good point about that.

By the way, they never got a playset. The sets from the pictures were for promotion only.

I love the site. Glad to have found it.

Wow! Thanks for that link. Such a ripoff!!

Absolutely hilarious. I liked this a lot when I was a kid, even if I already knew that they were rip-offs. But they were way cheaper than Secret Wars toys.

BTW: the package drawing of Superdiabolics is a rip-off the cover of Atari Force No.1 http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_98zZGlDC3HY/SEePEvF-j3I/AAAAAAAAAuA/EPkI-SvQ9vA/s400/Atari%2BForce%2B001-00FC.jpg

Looks like i’m a little too late (amazing link right there^^^), but I have pics of the 3-pack box and a carded Red Masker with the web pattern of the original but the text on his chest like the vehicle version. He also comes with a net (or web) accessory! Fun! If anyone wants the damaged box hit me up.
Here are the pics…http://adventuresofkrang.blogspot.com/2010/03/red-masker-vs-bad-tiger.html

Oh Man! Thanks so much for that link. I knew there were more figures, but it’s good to have some sort of idea of what I’m looking for. Thanks!!

that will lead you to a thread on a spanish message board with pictures of like every single figure and vehicle made in this line(hint: there was a second series) cheers

these are so cool! these remind me a lot of something that you would see in the designer vinyl world as a cool platform toy. I think i might just need to grab these off ebay sometime

That is amazing! Thanks so much for translating the commercial. It’s really great to know what’s being said. And the Pin y Pon toys are cute

I’m spanish, and my english is not very good, but I’ll try to translate the commercial:

The Superfantastics have been alerted. The Superdiabolics have occupied the power plant this time. Bird Man, with his ultralight, comes for helping his friend, and faces the evil Piranha. Stars Man, you’ll not escape this time. I, Doctor Diabolic, challenge you to play with Airgam Comic Superstars.

So the voice in the commercial is from the Dr. Diabolic himself

Airgamboys were very popular in Spain in the 80s, but I never had any. I was a Playmobil boy. And… ehem… Pin y Pon. Just google it, “pin y pon” ¡I was only a child!

@WeirdoToys awesome post! Very fun reading

That’s my job. I’m here to taunt you and make you envious of all the weirdo toys. Mwa-hahahaha!!

Spector is even better in person. You’re missing out

Justin Gammon — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:55:12 +0000

Wow. A dealer that sold these old things? You really missed out. Where was this guy? Pennsylvania? These things are way too pricey online.

Regarding the playsets – I actually wondered if I should look for them. They’re just so damn big. I wouldn’t have any place to put them. They would be a great find for sure.
