Moment of Madness. Stare at it, just stare at it.

A great optical illusion cover from MAD 1965.

POGO VINYL FIGURES BY POYNTER AND PROCTOR AND GAMBLE PREMIUMS.

The Poynter figures were rejected by Walt Kelly. I think the sculpts are amazing but the faux fur was sort of a problem in my opinion. The short lived series was Pogo, Churchy, Howland, Beauregard, Albert and Mam'selle Hepzibah. Next was the 1969 premium from "P and G". Redone by Kelly himself, this series was Pogo, Churchy, Howland, Beauregard, Albert and Porky Pine. You can see the size difference right away with the Poynter figures being larger.

Poynter Churchill "Churchy" LaFemme.

• 1968: Poynter Products of Ohio issued a set of six plastic figures (now very rare) with glued-on artificial fur: Pogo, Albert, Beauregard, Churchy, Howland and Miz Ma'm'selle Hepzibah. The figures displeased Kelly, but are highly sought-after by fans.
• 1969: Six vinyl giveaway figures of Pogo, Albert, Beauregard, Churchy, Howland and Porkypine, packaged with Procter and Gamble soap products (Spic and Span, Top Job, etc.) as a tie-in with the Pogo animated TV special. Also known as the Oxydol figures, they are fairly common and easy to find. Walt Kelly was not satisfied with the initial sculpting, and — using plasticine clay — resculpted them himself.

IDEAL SUPERMAN 1940s

This wood jointed and composition Superman doll was first sold by the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company in 1940. It’s an important Superman item because it’s the first Superman doll, and the first Superman action figure.

A little paint touch-up and a quickie replacement cape will let this one display nicely until it can be professionally redone. Up, up and away!

Jonny Quest

Greatest Jonny Quest Documentary Part 3

Jonny Quest – often casually referred to as The Adventures of Jonny Quest – is the original American science fiction/adventure animated television series that started the franchise. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for Screen Gems, and created and designed by comic-book artist Doug Wildey.

Inspired by radio serials and comics in the action-adventure genre, including Doc Savage and John Carter of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, it featured more realistic art, characters, and stories than Hanna-Barbera's previous cartoon programs. It was the first of several Hanna-Barbera action-based adventure shows, which would later include Space Ghost, The Herculoids, and Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, and ran on ABC in prime time on early Friday nights for one season from 1964 to 1965.

Crazy Italian Batman Target Game.

Battery-operated, circa 1966. Hit the button with a dart to make Batman's arm "punch".
Buzzer sounds and Bat-Signal lights up. Giant "Hulk-like" head flies off to reveal a trio of
Batman's greatest foes inside the suit. Crazy, but great artwork and relatively unknown. Further info says this was an Italian piece designed to be shot with a dart gun activating a buzzer, Bat Signal light and launching the robots head into the air.
