Its odd seeing DC and Marvel characters advertised together like this, even odder is how some of them are advertised. You could never get away with calling Wonder Woman, Supergirl, or Batgirl "Super Gals" today, then again there seems to be a stigma today were advertisers don't think boys will want to play with female action figures, so seeing "girl figures" like this rather than dolls or statuettes is pretty rare.

Also, it seems a giant step back to refer to Falcon as "that great black superhero", when Falcon was one of the first heroes not to preface his name with "Black" in case you didn't catch his race by sight.
