Big Loo

Big Loo

Big Loo is a very rare toy robot that was manufactured by Louis Marx and Company for the holiday season of 1963. It retailed for $9.99. The production was about 5,000 in total. The dimensions of the actual toy were 12 inches wide by 9 inches deep by 37 inches tall.

Its key features included a sight scope with sight cross-hairs, two flashing battery-powered red eyes with on-off switch, a hand crank voice box with ten messages, two rubber tipped darts that were fired from triggers in the back, a left arm that held four red balls that are fired from a spring in the left elbow, and a right arm that had a metal ring in the shoulder and rotated 360 degrees. It could squirt water from its navel and was also equipped with a compass, whistle, bell, a Morse code clicker with chart, and could bend over and pick up objects.

Big Loo was featured on the cover of the Los Lobos album Colossal Head.
