Cool Stuff: Tarzan and TV Toys!

Let's just get right into this, shall we?



Tarzan 8mm movie! I have no idea which Tarzan actor is in this one.



Tarzan Thingmaker mold, by Mattel!



8mm version of "Tiger Woman" serial!



Nifty cartoony Uncle Fester, from the Addams Family, manufactured by Remco!



I think I've posted the box art for this Addams Family board game before... now you can see the board, too!



Alvin and the Chipmunks coloring book! It's amazing the variety of coloring books offered on eBay on a regular basis.



Archie hair clip and Jughead Junior Shaver! Yeah, I don't understand why any kid would've wanted a Jughead junior shaver, either.



Bionic Woman coloring book from 1976!



Bozo the Clown Press-Out Book!




Two different Brady Bunch coloring books! I wonder how well the artists did making the characters look like the actors?



Buck Rogers coloring book, based on the TV series! Buck's looking pretty buff there!



Bullwinkle Braintwisters! Yeah, this is another one where the license doesn't fit the toy concept. Now, a Mr. Peabody Braintwister I could've gotten behind...



Kenner's Change-A-Channel TV Set! I wish I had more knowledge of Kenner's history, because I'd love to know if this pre-dated the Easy-Show Projector or not... same concept, just with a built-in screen. I'd bet it even uses the same cartridges.



And we'll wrap up this installment with this Circus Boy coloring book. That's young Mickey Braddock as Circus Boy there, but we know him better as Micky Dolenz of the Monkees!

This week's movie of the week video presentation is "Invaders from Mars!" At least, assuming the Google video is still present to be seen.



No slideshow this time around... just a short gallery!
