In 1993, Tyco got the Looney Tunes license and created a whole series of merchandise which included a set of action figures, talking figures, PVC figures, plush dolls, a board game, and probably some other stuff I am forgetting. Here is the back of the package of one of the action figures.
The set consisted of Taz, Marvin, Bugs (with a weird carrot-shooting... thing), the Road Runner and Coyote.
I have always found it amusing how easily the Road Runner figure's head comes off. I imagine it was done so kids could let Wile E. win once in awhile...
They look nice. That's reminds the Playmates Looney Tunes figures i see in 1998 with figures from the cartoons "Hare-Way to the Stars" and "Fast and Furry-ous". I wonder if it's possible to see this out today.
ReplyDeleteI still have the Bugs one with the carrot shooter somewhere around in my attic. The little carrot shooter didn't shoot that far if I remember correctly. Maybe a foot, tops. Bugs had really short legs, too, he'd keep falling over.
ReplyDeletearghh...so enviuos! I never found these figure...let's hope to see them back again on the international market!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE RR action figure XD
It is also impossible for the Coyote figure to stand up on his own without falling over... I had to lean him against that stack of books to take the picture.
ReplyDeletehaha oh yeah. i had the Wile E./RR and the Taz figures when i was a kid...no idea where they are now.
