Electroman VS Zogg

Electroman VS Zogg

I found this great ad for Ideal ElectroMan in the back of a give away comic (more on that later) and thought it would be fun to showcase here. I find Electroman a pretty dorky looking figure, his whole concept is like ROM mixed with a really primitive version of laser tag. That headpiece would give a guy neck problems for sure.

Getting back to the ad, the question is asked regarding Zogg, “Will Electroman’s Powers of Light and Sound Be enough?”

The answer is a resounding yes, Zogg appears to be have put on this earth solely to fall down and even a slight breeze can fell him. Electroman must have had a real false sense of superiority…
Oh and be sure to check out Topless Robot today for a goofy piece I wrote called The 9 Most Illogical Pieces of Star Trek Merchandise. It’ll be worth it, I promise.

    I had both Electroman and Zogg.. EM was cool, but Zogg was pretty one-note. These pics show a prototype, the gun was different and Zogg’s arms didn’t move independently; they were connected and both raised and lowered together.

    Kneel before Zogg son of Electricity!!!

    LOL, someone gave me that How to host a mystery game for Christmas one year, it hung out in the game closet for about five years before it went into a garage sale, the person that bought it was excited to try it out… but the Trekulator, I could use that at warp speed to pay the bills!
