Hulk Super Spinner (1978) Jotastar - Has Anyone Ever Seen One Before? 1 1

[Get Marwood & I]

Once in a while I spot something on eBay that I haven't seen before and have a go at getting. I saw this one, not listed particularly well, and found that I couldn't find one reference anywhere online about it. That's quite unusual, to not find a single reference.

It's from Jotastar (the same people who made the famous card set ), is dated 1978, and was made in Kong Hong, presumably for a song.

Can anyone find another reference to it?

Who's the toy expert around here?

 

"Hulk like flashing toy. Flashing toy flashes when it spins. Lights up. But if Hulk should spin the toy aggressively, and the crappy plastic snaps, then Hulk will SMASH!"

Never seen one of those. I did have a period where I collected Batman toys and in fact any plastic tat that contained a Batman logo. The early days of Pound shops were a good source of weird wonders most likely unlicensed. Batgun anybody?? . There must still be a box in the attic with Batman jigsaws and unmade Batboat model etc.

Don't you think that's odd - not one online reference or picture to be found, and Jotastar being an established brand at the time?

Closest I can find is this, dated 1979:

Just found a picture of what looks like a Spidey one:

@Spider-Variant Reggie! You seen anything like this before?

I definitely had spinners like those as a kid; but I have no idea if they were those particular designs.

I have not my friend.

Not sure I recognize the Spider-Man image either.

Arrgh! I do recognise it, and it's driving me insania. I can see it in my minds eye, Spidey crashing through a window or something....?

Triple-B will know it  @bababooey

I found another image on Google! 

 

 

Oh, hang on...

I have nothing to add except that I think this is cool, and I support further research. Vintage knock-off fire-starters strapped to flammable materials are exactly the kind of toys I enjoy most!
