Awesome letter Bud!! But who the heck is "Stanta"?? 

Scatter... it's not pretty.  THIS... is STANTA Claus.

Remember, kids.  ONE 't'.  ONE.  Otherwise THIS guy gets your letter.

Wow! Great pic!

Great Garloo should be at least a head taller than King Zor though to offset the weight disadvantage Garloo would have given Zor's length.

Thanks, Hep & good point!  I'll have to adjust the height.  When I did this, I drew ZOR as an actual dragon/dinosaur.  Is he supposed to be a mechanical, robotic monster or a living, breathing beast?  I'd like to write up a script and turn it into a mini-series comic book, just for UMA'ers.  Any ideas on "origins" of these two giant monstrosities?

[Hepcat]

I believe King Zor is a cyborg.

I did have The Great Garloo and King Zor.  I also had Hamilton's horribles (I think that's right).  I was 8 when I received Great Garloo for Christmas and the Bedrock playset.  Oh how Garloo would terrorize the Flintstones.  2 years ago I bought a re-release of Gigantic Frankenstien.  I had been looking for 1 for a while, an original or the re-release.  I had Big Loo also.  I'd love to find a Great Garloo, I've already found another Bedrock playset.  Dave

Hamilton's Invaders actually.

I'd love to find a Great Garloo....

It's not that tough to find overall, unless you're looking for a complete NM specimen....

Mark, that is AWESOME!

Thanks Mike  - I was planning on doing a comic book just for the UMA'ers, with Zor as the monster cyborg he really is.  Got a little sidelined, though  ...

That sounds like a great idea if you get around to it. i know I'd love to see it! I saw both the old TV commercials for Garloo nd Zor on the big screen a couple years ago during Godzilla Kaiju battle at a local theater. They showed a double feature of Godzilla vs Hedorah and Godzilla Final Wars and in between features ran a ton of trailers and commercials-including these two iconic monster toys! It was put on by a local group called It Came From Schenectady. They put on several film shows a year and are doing another Godzilla night in march-I can't wait!!

[Hepcat]

Wow! It Came from Schenectady puts on great shows!

They really do. They had a Troma fest last week with Lloyd Kaufman appearing, but not really my cup of tea. Every October they have a 24 hour film fest with a huge variety of movies.
