old monster toys!

If I remember correctly, I owned both Bog Loo and King Zor! Loo supposedly could talk. You had to crank a cheap little plastic handle on his back, (which snapped off the first time I touched it). This cranked a small record and needle gizmo inside him which had all the fidelity of an asthmatic toad. But his weaponry was pretty cool. King Zor had some sort of remote control motor mechanism where they made a virtue of necessity - the gears and motor were loud and very rusty sounding, as they ground away, reaching speeds that a limpet would scoff at. All this cacophony of cheap engineering was supposed to be his "roar". All of these were competing with Great GarLoo, one of my all-time fave toys, (which I still have today!).
