Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

Very good newsletter. The FF display grabbed me--it has good customs, and I liked the addition of Franklin and Thundra.

I appreciated the links to the prototype features. I think Joanie actually looks well done compared to the other secondary HD guys. Regarding the proto-Andorian, his boots look like hand-cast Mego Merry Men boots.

Love the Trek Aliens prototypes, the Talosian would of worked if it was done in white instead of yellow, but they probably thought at the time, white would get dirty to quick, same idea with Shazam cape. Happy Days Joanie actually looks pretty good, but I doubt it would have done well at the toy stores. I think the Happy Days line was aimed towards girls like the Waltons line, only Fonzie would have sold well with both boys and girls.

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?

@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.

Oh my, Figure Fiend--formerly Tiny Plastic Men?--is AMAZING.

I think the neighbor kid stole my copy of the newsletter off my lawn...
