I like this unusual figure by Linda. Its all new to me and one of a number of Linda dolls I've seen, this, the first male one and certainly the first Lone Ranger.
Anyone got one?
Linda will be known to Thunderbirds collectors for their vintage snowglobe. SpaceX and Golden Astronaut fans may know their Apollo Spacers range of knockoffs, fabulously covered on Paul Vreede's website here https://www.triangspacextoys.info/SpGAderv/LNDA/LndaCpPg.html
I had a beautiful Hartland non-articulated hard plastic Roy Rogers and Trigger as a kid, but no large action figure. I also remember having a beautifully decorated Roy Rogers guitar and hand-crank telephone as a kid. They were of course child-sized but it was fine with me. My room had Roy Rogers drapes and bedding as well. (can you tell I was a Roy Rogers fan? hahaha) Right now, I have some smaller scale Roy toys.
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic, I had the Praying Mantis Captain Action Lone Ranger and Tonto figures.
DeleteI know of a massive Roy Rogers fan in the US, a rockabilly singer called Ray Campi, he has cinema lobby card stands and life size Roy Rogers standee in his living room, its featured in a documentary about the rockabilly scene in Los Angeles, titled L.A. Beat
How cool is all this, Roy Rogers lives! I love all that stuff you had Ed. Does any of it still exist? The Hartland figure sounds wonderful. I used to love Elton John's song Roy Rogers on his Yellow Brick Road LP as a kid. Not as cool as rockabilly though MJ! What a great standee Ray Campi must have!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid almost none of my childhood toys exist in my collection Woodsy. What I have now was all bought as an adult collector.
DeleteRoy Rogers was and is clearly a massive collectables passion for many Ed. Check this book out! https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780873492263/Ultimate-Roy-Rogers-Collection-Identification-0873492269/plp
DeleteThanx for that Woodsy! I went into Amazon and put it on my Wish List
