Horde of the Rings

I'm starting to collect plastic super hero rings. It's always been a thing with me. A ring thing.

As a kid I loved the Waverley ring that came with the Thrushbuster and my Bazooka Joe siren ring. Wonderful tokens from a simpler age.

When I had a vintage toy stall I bought in a few old Green Lantern rings for my customers. I sold them all but years later I found a more modern one. That's been the new spark.

I shall add to it my daughter's old Captain Planet ring 

and my dear Missus has bought me a fine Kenner Superman ring for my birthday at Christmas.

With time to kill I've been looking for a toy version of a ring I loved as a kid, from the TV cartoon Shazzan. You know the one, we're the two halves come together to reveal the genie.


Initial searches have found nothing. I'm amazed it wasn't merchandised but there's lots of rings to look at whilst I quest.

There are more gumballs and vending rings than you can shake a stick at online like this neat assortment,


Or these beauties.

 As with all collections I will have to be selective or else I'll drown in plastic. Old Super Heroes, comic heroes and radio heroes. They ring the bell!
