Passing the village of Greystoke last week as we wended across Cumbria to Keswick, I had yet to settle on my latest project.
Having decided, its to try to recreate a blog legend I first saw years ago on the cover of a Plastic Warrior Magazine, the fabled Lone Star Tarzan set, with its waving Tarzan figure.
I'll update the blog about this specific project as it swings into action.
Meanwhile here are some further sightings of vintage waving and other Tarzans hiding in the cyber jungle, all of which I would have loved as a young chimp back in the 60's!

The waving Tarzan repainted as The Phantom in his Jungle Play Set by Larami
and finally, a 12 inch Tarzan cheapo, which may well be a future knockoff chest beater of mine.
Which set do you like?
Do you like Tarzan in any of his media?
Has Tarzan had his day?
Have you any collectables?
I used to enjoy the Ron Ely series when I was a kid. (Also, I think Tarzan has the same first name as me!).
ReplyDeleteha ha! Maybe your the Lord of Greystoke Kev!
DeleteThe Tarzan movie/book/comic I would really like to see is 'Tarzan and The Planet of the Apes'
ReplyDeleteSounds fabulous Terran. On Earth or Mars?
DeleteI too remember watching the Ron Ely series on TV.
ReplyDeleteThe Land Rovers are very similar, but the Fleetwood version has a four-section cage in the back, while the Blue-Box version has a five-section cage. The cab windows also look to be a slightly different shape.
Thanks for casting your trained eyed over the landrovers Paul. Fascinating.
DeleteIn the seventies, Corgi produced a desirable Tarzan Corgi Gift Set 36, Woodsy. The set included card scenery and all the characters needed for jungle adventure.
ReplyDeleteSounds brilliant Tone. Not one I know really. Is it one you had or have?
DeleteSadly not, Woodsy... maybe one day :)
