I came across the Manimal lion figure. It took be a bit to find your page to confirm that it was indeed from the show. I’d like to share pics if it. I’m looking fur a value in it. But can’t find information. I’ve only seen the Snakeman figure for sale.

Please help if you can!

Music got a lot more intense in the 80s metalwise, and synthpop wise, some really outstanding bands in either genre, than the 70s. You're missing out by your neohippie bias.

Longtime reader here, sorry for the long post.

Your blog never fails to amaze me, Love all the things you have unearthed
You are doing such a great job preserving these things, thank you.:)

I was born in 84, so I missed out on a lot of the ral vintage toys, series and movies.
Of course MOTU, MASK, Transformers will forever hold a very special place in my heart, but I was always really intrigued with the 70s toys that I got as hand me downs and stuff I picked up at yardsales like Big Jim, Star Wars etc.
These toys were always a big mystery to me, cause finding info on them without the interwebs was damn near impossible.

My parents are both hardcore hippies with a huge record collection, so at least music wise I got the proper upbringing, before crappy drumcomputers synthesizers and hairdos messed that up hehe

Thanks again for painting a picture and giving insight of how life was in the 70s.
I dont know if it has to do with growing up, but everything looked so much purer back then.
I feel pretty blessed with the toys I had in my childhood, especially when you compare it to the stuff kids nowaday have to grow up with.

Greetings from Holland

Wow. To think I was the only person that loved this show. I met Simon MacCorkindale once too and talked briefly about it with him – he was absolutely charming and flattered I mentioned it, RIP…

The level of stupidity of the show is reflected best when the hero teaches himself kung-fu by watching nature videos which is followed by a montage of him observing a particular animal and then mimicking the action; it culminates with him faux licking his hands like a beaver which is THE deadly kung fu move as any informed martial artist will tell you.
