The Amazing Energized Spider-Man from Remco
We’ve seen Remco’s Energized Spider-Man toy before (newspaper ad, antique discovery), but it’s this 1978 comic ad for the toy that may trigger most of my memories of the toy. I’d completely forgotten about this ad until I stumbled across it a few days ago; it’s no wonder that I wanted this toy when I was a kid. Look at how well the advertisement shows off the Energized Spider-Man features. And the Spidercopter even gets promoted!

I wanted one of these so badly, and it’s all thanks to this ad. I didn’t care that I was about 10 years too late. Of course, now I know that these were flimsy plastic statues, but those ads were just so effective at selling them.
