One of two different designs produced by Popeye Toys, this set is Battle-Five (while other was named Commander-Five). Of note, this set was released w/two different box lid designs; the one offered here and a similar, later design w/the addition of a large Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle image on different color bkg.
