Bigfoot and Wildboy Puzzle (eBay Link) – I am very predilected with the Krofft shows; this one is one of their more bizarre concepts. I guess Bigfoot adopted a lost kid and now they stop alien invasions in the woods. Also Bigfoot is clearly meant to be Bionic. I can see why I dug it […]

My friend John sent me an email the other day asking me about this, one of his “holy grails”. He claims he sent away for this as a kid but a got a Hot Wheels car and an apology. Since then he’s been looking for one in the mailer box to fill that void (i […]
