THE GREAT GARLOO!

"This Is Garloo-Mighty, Unchained, Unconquerable Garloo. Yours To Command. Order

And Garloo Obeys!"

Riding on the popularity of 50's science-fiction movies were an abundance of memorable related toys and games. One in particular was a motor driven monster by the imaginative name of Garloo. Operated by a remote control, the 2-foot figure could move forward and backward, bend over and pick up objects.

Released by Marx Toys in 1961 and selling for $17.98, they launched a TV campaign with a commercial that showed Garloo in all his glory. Figures in good and working condition have become rare and it can go for as high as $500.

Garloo has been enjoyed by fans for many years and several versions of him have been produced as an action figure (but as yet, no motorized version). There was a spot on the History Channel (see below) and even Funko produced their own version. Long Live the Great Garloo!
