Suicide is Painless...

I was surprised when doing my Metal Men feature last week to discover that Zee Toys also made a line of M*A*S*H items. M*A*S*H was one of my favorite shows growing up but I never had much desire to play it, probably because it was much of a drama/comedy than it was really about war. Still, the approach Zee took was a good one, centering around the base itself and not the characters, a neat concept.


It's Tuesday and here's what cool on DVD today:

It's a tad dry on the DVD front this week in terms of films or TV from the 70's, the one bright light I found was the release of Filmation's Lone Ranger and Zorro Volume 2.

I'm pretty much a sucker for anything Filmation (although I need never see "Sport Billy" again thank you) and I still hold out hope for a legitimate Tarzan release someday.

An odd bit of trivia, in this series, the Lone Ranger was voiced by none other than the late William "Cannon" Conrad.For more Fashion Mockery and 70's toy love visit us at Plaid Stallions.com

As soon as I saw the title of this thread I thought you'd wheel out everyone's favourite Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, and I was not disappointed!

Good call about the playset too, the figures based on the show were just weird. Father Mulcahy anyone?

PS - I have an upcoming Toltoys.com update involving an Australian licensed MASH product that in the odd product race puts even the cross dressed Klinger figure to shame!

The Trapper years were hilarious.

They're my favourite, I respected some of the things they did in later seasons but really enjoyed the Trapper/Henry/Frank Burns years.

WOW the plastic playset came with a Latrine. Thats a first. I dont think Marx did any bathrooms or out houses with thier sets.

I mean they had the helicopter pad..... With NO helicoptor.
They Had an ER


But I would take a SWAMP Tent with Still, A command Tent with Radar (The guy not the system) I would accept a Mess tent, a Rosies Bar, A mine field, The sign post......... Hell I'd take anything over the latrine set... Is the 4th figure in the John??????
