Whoa! These are the kinds of rad things you stumble across when you just search for “toy commercial” on YouTube and dive in a few pages deep. I feel like I may have heard about The Great Garloo here on an episode of Toy Hunter, but it was just a vague echo.
Still, I would have been all over this had I been a kid in the 60s. It’s a remote control robot that can move around and also shift its arms up and down. In other words, as the commercial implies, it’s the perfect toy for kids who wanted to create their own monster movies! If you’re curious to see what this bad boy looked like in person (ie not black-and-white), head on over to The Old Robots Website.
