bugs bunny merchandise

I don’t collect Bugs Bunny merchandise as an adult, I honestly feel watching Looney Tunes as a kid was time well spent. The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show was an oasis every Sunday away from “Hee Haw” and freaking “Lawrence Welk” (which I now adore). With national recognition, it’s no surprise that Bugs enjoyed “Krusty the Clown” merchandising levels. 

It could be argued that Bugs is a good role model as he eats his vegetables, but I digress. When pouring through a 70s Sears catalogue, I saw this page and immediately recognized that Toothpaste dispenser. I’m pretty positive that we had that in our bathroom as a kid, and it made a huge mess, so it eventually got removed. I haven’t thought of it in years.

This Bugs Bunny Playset was only available at Spiegel. I wish I had this as a kid. I mean, look at it! It’s amazing.

We’re all Putty inside Bugs…

Janex made a lot of cool Bugs Bunny merch, even teaming him up with Elmer Fudd for a clock!

I am jealous of anyone who saw Bugs Bunny in Space.

Pod Stallions 1972 ABC Saturday morning preview

The post Pod Stallions 1972 ABC Saturday morning preview appeared first on PS.

Founded in 1970 by Jack Friedman, LJN was one of the 1970s more successful toy companies, offering a mix of nicely made licensed products and some lower-cost “house brand” items. 1975 saw the company in full swing with hot TV licenses such as “The Rookies” and “Emergency!” as well as Petite, their attempt to capture the fashion doll market and “Mr. Action”, the lower cost G.I. Joe.

Petite was a low cost Barbie clone that LJN marketed for a period in the 1970s.

A lot of the items made for Petite were later sold by other companies well into the 1980s.

Mr. Action was one of the more prolific G.I. Joe knockoffs of the 1970s, his outfits and uniforms are usually mistaken for Hasbro products.

These Mr. Action vehicles were often sold on the same page as G.I. Joe in department store catalogs. Lili Ledy in Mexico even sold them as G.I. joe vehicles!

The Mr Action “Double Action” concept is actually something I wish we saw more of…

If I recall correctly, the back of the box was a cardboard backdrop for the adventure.

That is a killer record player. I want this now.

The 1970s was once a booming industry for children’s typewriters…

LJN’s line of 8″ figures were second only to Mego at this time, while Mego took a lot more fantasty licenses, LJN clung to reality based shows like the Rookies and later, SWAT.

The Rookies Police Car is tough to find in nice shape these days.

LJN’s Emergency toy line was a big hit for the company, the show was a steady rating winner during it’s run. Sadly, no figure of Dr. Bracken was made. The figures were meant to knock-off popular Mego figures and are often confused as such.

Like the Rookies car, the Emergency fire truck is quite a collector’s item now.

These Mr. Action Fold Up play sets are a great idea by LJN, I’m not sure they were released.
