Electroman VS Zogg

[RSS]

I found this great ad for Ideal ElectroMan in the back of a give away comic (more on that later) and thought it would be fun to showcase here. I find Electroman a pretty dorky looking figure, his whole concept is like ROM mixed with a really primitive version of laser tag. That headpiece would give a guy neck problems for sure.
Getting back to the ad, the question is asked regarding Zogg, "Will Electroman's Powers of Light and Sound Be enough?"


The answer is a resounding yes, Zogg appears to be have put on this earth solely to fall down and even a slight breeze can fell him. Electroman must have had a real false sense of superiority...

I had once posted, questioning if anyone knew what happened to the once ubiquitous Ideal toy company.

Now I know.

Is that the infamous Tony Talrico on art there? The mush nature of the drawings says "yes".

Poor Zogg. Destined to fail from inception.
