Mechanical Toy Battle Royale!

Zor commercial is so cool! I believe I posted a scan of my letter to Santa that year asking for Zor. Ended up with the King Zor board game......NOT the same as getting the real deal!    Buddy

Man those are sweet

I chose Great Garloo and King Zor. But Garloo is my favorite of the toys listed with Zor a close second.

Here's an action sequence from 1962 involving Odd Ogg:

Cool flick Hep!

[bigbud]

Yea Scatter, cool, but it also points out that Ogg is alittle lame compared to the other candidates..Buddy

[Hepcat]

Here's a plug for Mr. Machine:

Rare Ideal Mr. Machine TV commercial

Not sure if it is common knowledge, but Mr. Machine comes with a toy wrench to take him apart. Alot of fun to take apart, not so easy for little hands and minds to re-assemble.    Buddy

[Hepcat]

This has become a two toy battle for the gold, and a three toy battle for the bronze. This is one in which your votes really count!

I love that B&W Garloo commercial.  The low angle on him as he attacks the tracks almost makes it look like something from Toho.

[bigbud]

By my somewhat warped calculation Big Loo is pulling ahead!        Buddy

[Hepcat]

True, true. Big Loo is no longer in dead last.

[marsattacks666]

Great Garloo all the way!

[Gasport]

I've never owned a Big Loo, but do have a Garloo & Zor.....My vote would have to go with the one i was given a Christmas time all those years ago and left the biggest impression on this monster kid...Great Garloo!

[Haunted hearse]

If a new poll was started about the least interesting of the five, my vote would go for Odd Ogg.  King Zor, Big Loo, and the Great Garloo had major destructive powers, and had adjectives in their names defining them as awesome.  Mr. Machine could teach children something about machines (and for the ones who were unable to put it back together properly, prepare them for a career as an Aamco mechanic).  But Odd Ogg seemed to demonstrate a prowess for running from danger while sticking his tounge out.
