It's time for a second dose of Boomerang merchandise! You already know the drill, so let's get into the good stuff. The first thing I'm showing off today is this Boomerang view-master. Boomerang collectibles really liked to play up the "vintage" aspect of the channel, and since Hanna-Barbera cartoons had a couple of view-masters made, this is an appropriate piece of merchandising. The color is the same shade of blue as the channel logo, which also adorns the toy. If view-masters aren't your thing, there was also an Etch-a-Sketch made with a similar look.
Another interesting collectible was this set of six plush toys, apparently produced in 2002. This set included Yogi, Top Cat, Magilla Gorilla, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, and Hong Kong Phooey. At first glance, I suspected these were mere repacks of the plush dolls made for the WB Studio store, but these are actually completely new toys. If you're interested, I saw an eBay auction of this set mint in box. Just know it'll set you back a thousand bucks.
Want a Boomerang bank to store your money in? Check out this item. This bank is made to look like an old-school TV. It's 5 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide. Quick Draw McGraw, Huckleberry Hound, Atom Ant, and Hong Kong Phooey are all represented on the TV screen. If I'm being honest, I'm surprised Hong Kong Phooey got so much play in this line of merchandise.
And last but certainly not least, here is a set of Boomerang tattoos. You know, in case you ever wanted a skiddish George Jetson plastered onto your arm!
