Evel Knievel’s son, (Mr.) Robbie Knievel aka R.E.K. the 2nd, also had a successful, motorcycle jumping/motorcycle stunts career.
Sadly, Robbie has passed on, this year.
We miss you + like you, Evel + Robbie!

I did have this set, and it was neat, but it felt really chintzy next to the similar Matchbox City Playset, because the vehicles were small and cereal-prize quality, and since it was scaled for them, the set didn’t work well with any other toy cars, soldiers, etc.

I used to watch Space Angel on our local production of The Funny Company with Cactus Pete back in the 70’s.

It’s funny how the synchro-vox technique seemed innovative, but the rest of the “animation” seriously suffered because of it. 🙂

That playcase is sweet. I would totally have used that for my little animals.

Also, loved Dark Shadows. I have fond memories of my older sister and I watching it after school.

"Remember Evel Knievel's spectacular jump at Snake River Canyon in September of 1974?"

I sure do, Launch and Ka-Splash!

I remember wanting this play case, how cool is that a 3-D landscape and die cast vehicles! Didn't get it, but I remember getting a larger die cast of the Snake River Rocket!
