Ideal 1976 Evel Knievel Catalog

[RSS]

By 1976, Ideal Toys was coasting a very powerful wave of having one of the top selling toys in the country. Evel Knievel was a household name and despite announcing his retirement twice in 1975, returned to jump buses and he attempted to jump a tank full of sharks (inspired by Jaws, another Ideal toys license) which kept his name in the public eye and on Christmas wish lists.

Awesome! I have Evel, the stunt cycle, dragster, funny car (replica) and Skull Canyon w/ the brown monster. Oh! and Derry too..but I have the drawn box, not the photo box.

The EK stunt cycle is probably the greatest toy ever IMO!!!

I used to have the Scamble Van, Sky Cycle and Chopper.

The Chopper sucked.
The damn tail-pipes would break if you even look at them crosseyed.

Funny story,
I always had 2 Evels .....
A red suited one and a blue suited one.
But, I was always envious of my buddy who had the standard white one

Megos aside, EK toys were some of the best ever.

I think the Evel Stunt Cycle is one of the greatest TOYsS ever made. Just the action of the toy and the play it provides is one of the most satisfying ever. I have the Playing Mantis reissue, and my son and I get it out and play with it from time to time. Similar toys of Batman and Ghost Rider were recently made. It's a classic.

I had the white suited Evel, by the way.

I still have my original stunt cycle and white suit Evel, too. I agree one of the best toys ever made.
