1-Rover-!

[RSS]

We just wrapped our Battle of the Planets episode of PodStallions (which launches this Friday) and I was reminded of one of my favourite pieces of merchandise this little magnetic 1-Rover-1. This and a matching 7 Zark 7 (which i don't own) have l'il magnets in them to add to the play.





The back of the box shows some fun shenanigans, the little guy loves his master's butt, my dog just gives me a dirty look when i do that. This is a toy lucky kids in France got (where his name is 1-Nonos-1), instead of the bupkiss we got here.


We'll be discussing stuff like this on this Friday's podcast, with special guest Alex Ross, it'll launch Friday.

What did we get for Battle of the Planets here in North America? I only recall comics but nothing for toys (maybe a model kit??) That littie 1-Rover-1 is awesome. I really wished they released true action figures here

Very cool! It's interesting that the packaging includes some English and German. Wonder if this saw any distribution outside of France?

I've found 7-Zark-7 on ebay many times. There's even the Airgam Boys version where 7-Zark-7 is produced in different colored chrome.
