Martin would like to see if there would be any interest for a Distinctive Dummies Chico the Rainmaker (originally called the bot with two heads) Mego Set and or/plus a replica head prop

This was aired on PBS in the USA and U.K. in the late 70's and 80's on Saturday morning.7 episodes were made. Anybody remember?

I'm from the UK and grew up watching the TV as a kid during this time but don't remember seeing this at all, looks to be quite strange though so will be interesting to hear if anyone remembers seeing this over here.

I know it's an odd one. I remember it very well as a kid when it was played on channel 12 (PBS) along with Dr.Who in the USA

Creepy puppet head that comes to life.Yeah, it was intriguing watching that as a kid  ;D

Martin is interested in making this and wants to see if any of you have any interest. So please vote :)

Never heard of, nor seen, this TV movie.  Looks pretty damn bizarre, though.  I think I would pass, but I could see UK TV viewers wanting a piece of this.  The made-for-TV U.S. films that I would love Martin to tackle sometime in the future are GARGOYLES (1972) and TRILOGY OF TERROR (1975).

Let's not forget Dark Night of the Scarecrow and the Norliss Tapes. Maybe even Don' be afraid of the Dark. All great made for tv horror flicks.

I’m all in for any of those you mentioned, Anton!  Maybe even another set of Salem’s Lot two-packs (Ben Mears and vampire Danny Glick and/or Mark Petrie and vampire Marjorie Glick).  The possibilities are exciting!
