Of all the oodles of merchandise that was created during the early years of Hanna-Barbera, I think Marx's line of TV Tinykins are among my favorites. These guys were nice, pocket-sized versions of the various Hanna-Barbera characters. Another great thing about them were the store displays, and today, I'd like to show off some of those in all their old-school glory.
This first display has a cool blue acting as the background color, and puts the focus on three shows: Top Cat, Quick Draw McGraw, and Huckleberry Hound. The artwork of the characters is a neat companion to the actual figures, but I've gotta say, something about T.C.'s face isn't sitting right with me.
The second one I'm showing off has purple as its background color, and adopts a "house" format to the display. There's more figures being shown off, but the character artwork is nowhere near as enticing as before. What's going on with Yogi?
The last one I'll be featuring isn't focused on the individual figurines, but the playsets instead. The artwork is much closer to the shows than that last one, and it does a good overall job at presenting all these distinct sets. Now I ask the question all of these ask: do you have them all?
