Many figures and sets in this grouping carry through to 1975. All
variations of a specific figure
are shown in one grouping when they were first produced, in a
semi-chronological order. For
example, the JWA section only has Jed Gibson because the other figures were
produced earlier,
and Jed was not produced until 1975.
