    Remote Controlled Blah!




    Miner (who seemed to have bought Multiple Toys) released these remote controlled inflatable figures in 1980 and what a super team up! Mickey Mouse, Dracula, The Incredible Hulk and a Shogun Warrior looking robot. It's a child's version of the league of extraordinary gentlemen!


    I remember not being particularly swayed by these as a nine year old but now? I think they're awesome! Funny how that works....

      I never had any of these, but would have loved that Hulk one.

          That Hulk looks different than other versions I've seen before.

          I hope the kid that owned Drac didn't play vampire hunter too realistically. One pointy stake in his heart and POOF!

                  Hmmmm....

                  The Space Marauder looks a lot like a little bendy robot guy from back in the day. Coincidence?

                      Probably not, so much incest back then.

                          I have the commercial for this somewhere.
                          "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
                          'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                          Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                          If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                              I'd love to see that.

                                  Sorry, Brian, but it's on video, and I don't have a way to upload it.

                                      Are these in scale to the kid? also, I recall an inflatable robot "butler", anybody know the name? Servatron?

                                          I think Radio Shack knocked off this concept and sold that butler.

                                              I've mentioned this before, but I had a robot like this (although it was much different, visually). It was pretty neat, but I had more fun just playing with the giant inflatable robot and using him as a bop bag and throwing him around the house/yard.

                                                  There's the Radio Shack one, and I found this one as well

                                                  and I think this is the one I was thinking of
