The Great Garloo Action Figure Blue Edition
by The Nacelle Company
$9.99 plus tax and shipping from Walmart, or in stores

The Great Garloo was one of the giant wired-remote control animatronic monster toys made by Marx in the1960s. I plugged a cool, small re-creation of him last year in The Gift Guide, but now, he’s available in blue, and at half the price, and I’ve seen him locally in Walmart, which is really cool because you don’t have to pay shipping. You can even get the sold-out green version from Walmart now, at the same low price. And if they don’t have either in the store near you, you can have them shipped to your local Walmart and pick them up and save on shipping that way.

Let me tell you about Garloo, in case you don’t know. First, he was a monster. That doesn’t make him a bad person.

So striking was his design that six decades after he graced toystore shelves, people still recognize him.

Nacelle has updated his design a bit, and after a successful run as a ReAction figure, they’ve unleashed a 3″ tall Garloo on the world, complete with packaging that replicates the original Marx toy.

As they say, “A 60’s Monster toy icon THE GREAT GARLOO is back and ready to reign over your toy collection, as a vibrant, original sculpted collectible.”

Not-so-big anymore, green or blue, and with a face only a mother or a Monster Kid could love, Garloo can’t wait to infiltrate your home and use it as his base to take over the world.

Collectors should be warned that Garloo does bear an uncanny resemblance to Pete Davidson. This is a nice item for Marx Toy Collectors, vintage toy and monster fans, or just anybody with an affinity for the Garlooesque.

Available directly from Walmart.
