1977 Gabriel Lone Ranger Catalog

I still have my LR and Silver in their original boxes, but time has turned the ranger's outfit from light blue to gray.

Was '77 the last year for theline? I was reveiwing releases online and the breadth of quality output on this line was amazing!

On a related note, Gabriel Toys doesn't even have a wiki listing.

I haven’t searched before, but you are right. I don’t see a history of the company other than at some point they were bought by CBS.

Gabriel did the toys for the 1981 Lone Ranger movie. Along with the smaller 3 3/4 film figures and horses, they also reissued just the larger LR, Tonto, and their horses. So 1981 would be the end of the line. Started in 1973 and ran until 1981.

Thanks, I was referring to the original 9" run. I know El Lobo and Sheriff Dawson were late (Euro-only?) releases.

I was referring to the 9” line being reissued along with the the new smaller figures in 1981. But just the LR and Tonto.

Looks like El Lobo was available as early as 1975 but not in the US.

I looked about a year ago for Gabriel Toys on a wiki. If I had enough source material, I'd tackle writing it.

That is my experience too. I have Silver standing behind my monitor. There is just no place to put it. I was able to get the 3 main figures in a display case.
