This is the Montgomery Ward's catalog spread of Secret identity outfits. This was the only source for these items. The outfits pictured here are prototypes, and are not representative of the final product. Peter Parker is pictured in an Action Jackson outfit, the others in BETTER versions than the final (particularly the Dick Grayson costume...) The actual product was shipped as a head and an outfit in a brown mailer box. The box below is a mailer that shipped Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson together as a set. There was some controversy recently when a purported alter ego box was offered on eBay. A brown mailer stamped with black WGSH graphics and built to carry a Clark Kent with a body, it was never established to be authentic.

Eagle Force was released by Mego in 1981 & 82 and was one of the last lines produced by them. It was an excellent line of die-cast figures and accessories. Each figure was a little more than 2 inches tall and came with a small weapon. There are different cards to look for as well. The figures generally are not hard to find loose, but are often chipped pretty badly. Goldie Hawk, Harley, Zapper and Kayo are the most common ones I find both carded and loose. The second year figures seem to be a bit scarcer. It's also good to note that GI Joe may have pulled a few ideas from Eagle Force There is a character named Wild Bill, a ninja, a bare-footed karate guy, and a Nazi-like enemy force.
