Item Description
Complete set of sixty 5.25" tall plastic tumblers issued by 7-Eleven convenience stores in 1973. While 4 sets of these plastic cups were produced (3 for Marvel comic characters and only 1 set for DC Comics characters), this is by far the most desirable and difficult set to complete. The DC Comics cups were not as widely distributed and suffered a less than stellar promotion when compared to the Marvel sets. Images were licensed by DC, many dating to earlier times. Some characters of note featured include - Aquaman, Batgirl, Batman, Catwoman, Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Joker, Kid Flash, Lex Luthor, Metamorpho, Mary Marvel (labeled as "Ms. Shazam" due to Marvel Family licensing issues), Robin, Shazam (Captain Marvel), Tarzan, Superman and Wonder Woman. Some other interesting, lesser-known characters featured include Batman's butler Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Batman secret identity Bruce Wayne, Robin secret identity Dick Grayson, Superman's adoptive parents Jonathan and Martha Kent as well as Legion characters Cosmic Boy, Lightning and Saturn Girl. Captain Marvel tiger sidekick Mr. Tawny also receives a cup. Complete list of 60 online. Slightest traces of wear/aging but all are Exc. overall. A rare opportunity to obtain the complete set of difficult to obtain cups all at once. This is the only complete set we've offered in our 42 years.
