I wish more records were included with playsets, I think it adds a neat quality.

Holy cats, that's awesome. A school playlet is so versatile, not just for the Sweathogs. You could have Superhero Training, How to Be A Better Monster 101, etc.

I wonder... was the record a flex-disc? Like one of those cereal box ones that you had to put a coin on it to keep it from slipping on the turntable? Or was it real pressed vinyl?

Good timing. I just picked up a Horshack for $10 at the local antique mall on Friday.

Wow, that's surprisingly accurate!

They should have packed in an exclusive Mr. Woodman figure!

Mattel put a lot of energy into every "Megolike" thing they did, nice playsets, great packaging, accessories for each figure, good sculpts and clothes but then they put them on those Sunshine Family bodies, I just can't.

They do look great. I can’t recall them being around back then, however. I’ve seen them since, of course. Does any one know if they sold well?

I never had the Sweathogs (I probably would have wanted them, as I loved the show), but I did have the Mork doll. He was very...Barbie-like. I noticed the difference even at age 4.

I had Mork, but the 3 3/4 inch version. I think he came in an egg. Lol

Same weird bodies they ruined their 1999 line with. Really odd proportions...limited articulation. And accessories with no way to hold them.

I don't think they were a big hit judging by how many i saw on clearance as a kid. One store local to me had them years after the show had left the airwaves. The only one you couldn't get was Travolta.

Sunshine dolls, ugh--they always reminded me of Autons. And those dead, dead eyes....

I should hunt this one down--I'm at 20 years in the classroom, so it calls to me.

[Klosterheim]

It is a pretty good one, looks like.

Maybe Starfleet Academy can be added to the list of uses.

I also had the little Mork with Egg.

The egg had a couple neat control panels on the inside, I think.

Ok, I get Vinnie with the comb, but what's with the cowboy hat? Did I miss an episode?

I wondered the same thing!
