FYI, the $17.98 price tag for Great Garloo in 1961 equates to $182.88 in today's money, adjusted for inflation. That's a pretty damn pricey toy.
Given that so few boomer kids could afford him back in the day, I wonder why there's so much nostalgia fuel for Garloo. There's plenty of re-sculpted toys and figures of him in today's market. There's probably more new Garloo figures made today than there were of the original Garloo back then. You don't see anyone demanding a funko pop of Big Loo, the giant moon robot. Strange.
