Early 1960s Sears catalog toy page.

Considering that $10.00 back in 1963 was worth about $101.00 in today's economy, these puppies were not cheap. And that's before you added in the cost of the batteries, which were never included back then.

Oni’s NacelleVerse comics will launch in March

Adventure

Oni Press and The Nacelle Company are capping off the first year of the NacelleVerse with a NacelleVerse: The Great Garloo #0. The 40-page comic will set the stage for what is coming next in the NacelleVerse and will guest-star the Biker Mice From Mars, Roboforce, and more. NacelleVerse: The Great Garloo #0 hails from writer Leon Reiser and artist A.J. Jothikumar.

"Since the events of NACELLEVERSE  #0, the orphaned alien Garloo has crossed the cosmos—gearing up with ROBOFORCE, racing alongside the BIKER MICE FROM MARS, witnessing the power of the SECTAURS OF SYMBION, and so many more heroes along the way. Now, on his newly adopted home of Earth, he's found his true purpose and made peace with his destiny as the last remaining survivor of the doomed planet Larlon—or so he thought! When faced with an epic choice between a mundane existence and accepting a new kind of cosmic challenge, will Garloo discover what it takes to be not just good but GREAT?" (Oni Press)

NacelleVerse: The Great Garloo #0 goes on sale on April 30, 2025. The comic features Cover A by Kano, Cover B by Adam Pollina, a 1:100 variant cover by Ramon Bachs, and a blank sketch cover.
