Electroman- close up

Made by Ideal in 1977. A sixteen inch tall action figure.

He has a light in his forehead for flashing at his nemesis Zogg.

He also has a feature of motion detection . That will set off the flash and a siren alarm.

None of these features seem to work on this figure.

It might just need the bulb replaced. If I could find one ?

I am not concerned about it. He is a big action figure.

He could go good against the 18 inch tall Kenner Alien .

His enemy Zogg is meant to be the play partner, of course,

Zogg is a Monster character. I like him too. And would get him

for the right price.

Electroman is just a classic Ideal character. I only remember seeing him in comic book adds back in the day. And I associate him with Ideal's STAR Team one and only comic book.

Electroman was the main add in the comic. I imagined him

as a member of the STAR Team.

So He will be a nice addition to the Ideal figures collection shelf :)

I guess it is likely Ideal was trying to cash in on some of the Six Million Dollar Man money Kenner had been making.

Mattel had Pulsar. Hasbro had the Atomic Man, Mike Powers.

Tomy had Mighty Max.

So the Six Million Dollar Man figure is 13 inches tall.

So Ideal must have thought bigger was better ?

At 16 inches tall. Electroman isn't bionic but he is electric ?
