    She's probably hiding in plain sight, but where are you seeing the image of the Joanie ("Happy Days") prototype?

      Yeah these kind of posts used to automatically publish here but since the software upgrade it's been wonky.

      Here's the Joanie story.

        I will always be kind of surprised at the amount of merch Happy Days got. I mean I do get Fonzie dolls and motorcycles but Ralph Malph and Potsie?
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          @palitoy: What you posted here did the trick.

          I think that the Joanie prototype was very well done/good likeness.

            In 76, they sold a bajillion Fonzies and made the logical idea of expanding the line. Fonz's mania had already peaked, and the whole thing flopped.

              I remember having the Mego Fonzie, his Jalopy (which in the series actually belongs to Ralph) a set of Fonzie paper dolls a t-shirt and even a leather jacket. Fonzie mania was quite real. And I was like 2 or 3.

                I love the jalopy. Someday I'm going to finish customizing it into the Batman'66 Jokermobile.

                              Yes! I'm glad Mego is going the 'plastic way' and very excited about Hawkman. The FTC version wasn't bad, but had some heavy issues including the flimsy wings.
