Saturday morning here in the UK.
No Frankenstein Jr. or Deputy Dawg on the telly so I've gone online.

Here are more of those amazingly robust Topper Deluxe Reading toys from American TV.
They really were quite beautifully made toys. I wonder what Topper would have done with a Thunderbirds licence?
Did you have a Johnny Express truck anyone?
I had a large E-Type jag that could be steered. Was that Topper too?
A fantastic vid about fantastic toys, Woodsy. Loved it ! The Jag you mention was probably Topper's 'Johnny Speed'... another beautifully big toy !
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it Tone. Yes, Johnny Speed of course! Now that was one cool toy!
DeleteTopper toys got used a lot in Anderson productions. Their huge tank provided the wheeld and tracks for the shado mobile and the crablogger for example.
ReplyDeleteFascinating Kevin. Presumably Derek Meddings and his crew visited the local toy shops in Slough for their Topper toys. Maybe there was just one shop that supplied the lot!
