1977 Mattel Welcome Back Kotter Catalog

The popularity of the sitcom “Welcome Back Kotter” inspired all kinds of merchandising including these 9″ figures from Mattel, the line was a bit of a flop, and carded figures can still be affordably priced today (especially the Horshak!)

 

 

The Sweathogs classroom playset included a record of catchphrases from the show, which I thought were hilarious in 1976. The Sweathog bike is a recycled Big Jim Motor Cross, you’d see Big Jim stuff reused up until the mid-eighties!
