IDEAL SUPERMAN 1940s
This wood jointed and composition Superman doll was first sold by the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company in 1940. It’s an important Superman item because it’s the first Superman doll, and the first Superman action figure.
A little paint touch-up and a quickie replacement cape will let this one display nicely until it can be professionally redone. Up, up and away!

Jonny Quest
Greatest Jonny Quest Documentary Part 1
Greatest Jonny Quest Documentary Part 2
Greatest Jonny Quest Documentary Part 3
Jonny Quest – often casually referred to as The Adventures
of Jonny Quest – is the original American science fiction/adventure animated
television series that started the franchise. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera
Productions for Screen Gems, and created and designed by comic-book artist Doug
Wildey.
Inspired by radio serials and comics in the action-adventure
genre, including Doc Savage and John Carter of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, it
featured more realistic art, characters, and stories than Hanna-Barbera's
previous cartoon programs. It was the first of several Hanna-Barbera
action-based adventure shows, which would later include Space Ghost, The
Herculoids, and Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, and ran on ABC in prime time on
early Friday nights for one season from 1964 to 1965.
