EL DORADO

 


Created for the third season "Challenge of The Super Friends" show, El Dorado would have been the second unique Hanna-Barbera character to get his own figure, after Samurai. Photos of the internal master hard copy are shown below, courtesy of The Earth Toy Mall. The actual figure would have had about 5% shrinkage when injection molded, so it would not have been taller than Batman when mass produced.

A very cool figure, he deviates from his cartoon counterpart in that he has a flat area on his stomach for either a sticker, hologram, or lenticular image. This technology was just hitting it's stride in the mid-80s, with Hasbro's Visionaries line for holograms and Mattel's Secret Wars for lenticulars. Maybe Kenner wanted in on the act. Now where was poor old Apache Chief? Shown at the bottom of the page is the bag that this "Record Hard Copy" came in.
