If anyone cares, my mother wants Gilligan's Island, LOL

[Ryno]

My obsession has spread to my family now. My mother has taking a liking to my figures, and she grew up watching Gilligan's Island. The characters and costumes were great on that show, so I thought I'd post it on her behalf.

I would normally be annoyed with this but since it's your Mom, it made me smile. Bring on the Gilligan's Island. Edition size of 1 per character.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.

The mate was a mighty sailing man,
the skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day,
for a three hour tour.
a three hour tour.

The weather started getting rough,
the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
the Minnow would be lost,
the Minnow would be lost.

The ship took ground on the shore of this
uncharted desert isle,
with Giligan, the skipper too,
The millionaire, and his wife,
The movie star,
The professor, and MaryAnn,
here on Gilligan's Isle.

So this is the tale of our castaways,
they're here for a long, long time.
They'll have to make the best of things,
it's an uphill climb.

The first mate, and his skipper too,
will do their very best
to make the others comfortable
in this tropic island nest.

No Phones, No lights, No Motorcars,
Not a single luxury.
Like Robinson Crusoe
It's primitive as can be.

So join us here each week, my friend,
you're sure to get a smile,
from seven stranded castaways,
Here on Gilligan's Isle!

I try to get figures my roommates like as well. So they can feel like they are part of my collection. Very sweet of you to ask your mom what she wants to see in your detolf. Hope you find some.

 

[Boba Ben]

I did always have a crush on Mary Ann when I was a kid.

 

[Ryno]

Hahaha thanks for being good sports guys. She got a kick out of the responses. I, personally, would not care for these, lol.

 

[Time_killer]

I would pay serious $$$ to get 1/6 figs of the castaways. I love that show.

I'm with your mom. I'd get them If people can endlessly still revisit 60s TV Star Trek original series figures.
Why not.
As well as others 60s classic from the era.

-Especially:
- Addam's Family (figures in black and white)
- Maxwell Smart & Agent 99
- Batman 66 continued; Barbara Gordon/Batgirl (Yvonne Craig), and finish at minimum the four lead rogues- Joker(Romero), Catwoman(Newmar), Penguin(Burgess Meredith), Riddler(Frank Gorshin).
- Green Hornet (Van Williams) and Kato (Bruce Lee) better done than Captain Action/Medicom/Enterbay?
- Wild West - James West (Robert Conrad), Artemus Gordon ( Ross Martin), Dr. Miguelito Quixote Loveless (Michael Dunn), Voltaire (Richard Kiel), Antoinette (Phoebe Dorin)

Although more than the 60s a 70s TV line of figures would make my head spin.

FYI:
you might want to have your mom check out the - Exclusive Premiere - Gilligan's Island figure line,
Or Retro-Mego might be revisiting them.
Although they were 8-9", and I don't think they finished the line.

I’m right there with you. I would love to have Gilligan Island figures, Get Smart, Wild Wild West, good Lost in Space figures, the rest of the main Batman cast, etc.

You guys know this post is from 2012 right?

Hey, this thread was on the top of the first page when I saw it and replied, I didn't look at the date, just the already on going discussion.
Apparently still a hot topic!

Not sure what happened here, yet I noticed this site has a great automatic "Similar Threads" generator, that for better or worse brings up and encourages replies to old threads all the time, that could have been what happened here? I'm not sure why people are then surprised when they get replies.

I think Executive Replicas/TBLeague somewhat recently tried relaunching a 1/6 Lost in Space., but yeah they weren't great.
Although Jet Pack John Robinson looked pretty good...

I think Gilligan had the knock-off prop...?

[Chambea1114]

Lol no problem I was just making sure everyone was aware of the original post date, but yeah It looks like Timekiller revived the thread with a reply so it brought it back up to the front page.

 

[greatlakes6]

Believe me, I know the thread is old, but I am always open to revisiting a topic that I am interested in.

As far as the John Robinson figure, it was cancelled after supposedly being in the works for many, many years.

Well, everyone was planning on being gone for just about 3 hours or so. Took a little longer to get back.

I'm actually a little surprised there ISN'T a 1/6th Gilligan.

 

[greatlakes6]

Talk about an iconic character!

Would you consider prop repros of the "voodoo dolls" used on the show? Those would be hysterical, and seem about 1/6 scale

Looks like Sherwood Schwartz kept them, wonder who has them now?

 

[greatlakes6]

I’m all in for the real deal.

Could be LOST usurped their spot in the zeitgeist.

 

[Mike86]

I wouldn’t buy them but there are weirder things made into figures. I could at least see a Gilligan and Skipper. Not sure about the full cast.
