Those Flash Gordon walkie-talkies look like they came off the set of Woody Allen's Sleeper.

Was the Flash Gordon stuff meant to tie in with the Filmation cartoon series, or what?

Rats, I wrote this on New Years Day and hoped I could phone it in just this once. Curse you Holly Hobbie for outing me!

Okay wait, you show us this whole catalog and don't even comment on the Holly Hobbie Wrist Radio? What was she doing, fighting crime? That's one of the most nonsensical licensed products I've seen on this site.

LJ- Thanks for the intel, it just dawned on me while do this catalog that I've just always accepted the character but never seen her on anything but merchandise.

Holly Hobbie was just an old-fashioned character created by an illustrator called Holly Hobbie (seriously!), sold to American Greetings. There were tons of products released with Holly Hobbie (although there were some other characters too). I used to have a rag doll of the Amy character, dressed in green. I suppose her popularity came in the wake of the Little House in the Prairie fad.
