Here's another web-find...
A long time ago, I posted the HULA HOOPS (hardy perennial UK snack food, apparently launched in 1973) advert for a mail-away 3D INCREDIBLE HULK JIGSAW which appeared in Marvel UK titles in early 1979.
At the weekend, I found this photo of what - I assume - was an in-store poster for the same campaign.
The live-action TV show was booming in the UK at the time, hence an avalanche of licensed products and Marvel's decision to drag the green goliath out of his long-time seventies home - THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL - and into his own weekly.
I remember sending off for it. I was surprised how big it was and had endless fun pulling it apart and remaking it. Kept if for years until it finally fell apart.
ReplyDeleteI've unearthed toys from the 70's that people said din't exist, specifically the palitoy viny cape jawa. I've had rocket firing boba fetts, palitoy zorros and stretch hulks pass through my hands. But after years of looking, I've still never found the hula hulk. Anyone got one, let me know.
ReplyDeleteHello,I have one, looks like it's never been built as the spare cardboard is still in-between some of the slits where it slides together. Will be selling on eBay, just need to dig the instructions out for it before listing.
