1977 Gabriel Lone Ranger Catalog

I went to Puerto Rico in1976, and I remember seeing Silver for sale at the pharmacy. I didn’t ask my dad to get it for me, because I knew that he would cry poor mouth and say no.

I came across a box with my Lone Ranger stuff in it the past weekend. It's like a lot of stuff I have, I wondered why I didn't display it, and then if I did, where would I put it? So back in the box it all went. It is a great line. And I agree, getting stuff in nice shape is hard. I think the line was played with with a lot of zest, like the 12 inch GI Joe. There's just more Joe stuff out there in comparison.

I love this line, I would dive deep into it had I the funds. It's a shame the figures age poorly, but they're beautiful and oh, the accessories! .

It is an interesting line to look for on eBay. There is usually 20 plus pages of items from North America. It is like a treasure hunt to find good items. I’m not sure if they age poorly or if they just got played with hard. Tough to find a non-faded ranger outfit for sure. I’m on the look out for a Silver that doesn’t have terrible glue stains where it’s put together and also without melt marks from the saddle. I guess I am basically looking for a new one.

I was always a bit jealous of kids who had the horses, I only had a late-issue (reissue?) Lone Ranger.

I love that toy line. I have a very vivid memory of receiving my Lone Ranger and Silver right before I turned 6 years old.

I was always confused by Dan Reid's horse being named "Banjo" for this line after seeing "A Christmas Story".

I love this line, I would dive deep into it had I the funds. It's a shame the figures age poorly, but they're beautiful and oh, the accessories! That 4-in-1 one wagon is terrific and great outfit sets, too. I never tireof looking at these and year three seems a peak. Thanks.

The Lone Ranger toyline is easily one of the nicest action figure lines of the 1970s if not all time and Gabriel Toys had some real long-running success with it. This 1977 Catalog is the third year for the line and shows that it was still going strong, Gabriel put a lot of effort into […]
