Hanna-Barbera Goodies on Cartoon Network's Old Shop Website

 

Does anyone here remember CartoonNetworkShop.com? It's defunct nowadays (I believe it was shut down in 2021), but for a long time, it was the premiere destination for everything and anything Cartoon Network. In its earlier years, that also included merchandise for shows from Toonami, Adult Swim, and of course, Hanna-Barbera. Today, let's take a trip back to the far-off year of 2005 and see just what the website had to offer for fans of Flintstones, Scooby, and the other Hanna-Barbera classics.

If animation cels are your thing, this site had you covered and then some. An impressive set of limited edition cels were offered on the website, covering most of the classic series created by the studio. Unsurprisingly, most of them are based on The Flintstones, but there are plenty for Yogi Bear, The Jetsons, and several others.

As you go through, some other collectibles start to pop up, the most notable of these being statues. For the price of just 225 dollars, you could have a limited edition Fred or Barney statue. If you wanted a bit more bang for your buck, you could get the entire Jetsons family, as well as Rosie the Robot, for about the same price of both the Flintstones statues. The website also offered Bobbleheads from Funko, back in the days before they became known for their POP! vinyl figures. I unfortunately couldn't get images of them, but some of the bobbleheads offered included Elroy Jetson, Jabberjaw, and more.

If collectibles aren't your thing, maybe you'll be interested in their T-shirts? Interestingly enough, The Jetsons is the series that gets represented the most here. And don't you love that "Kiss my Astro" shirt? Seems like an odd thing to appear on a Jetsons shirt, but you have to remember this was still during the time when HB media was being tailored more towards the adults that grew up with the shows than younger audiences.

Last but not least, here's a look at all of the HB DVD's the website was selling at the time. It's nothing particularly noteworthy, simply the titles that were available at that time, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. I must say, it's kind of crazy to see there was once a time when the first season of The Flintstones on DVD would cost you nearly seventy bucks. Nowadays, you can get the entire series on Blu-Ray for less!
