A memory popped into my head yesterday and I went about it on Google. I love the internet. I found King Zor in a number of places. I had one. King Zor is the coolest toy ... EVER. Batteries not included. I know Santa didn't pay $175-$1000 for it and if I still had it, that wouldn't be nearly enough to pry it away from me.

Be ready for King Zor. He's ready for you.
King Zor commercial
Blog of the day here.
Quote from said blog: "You do realize that if he wins, he will never shut up about it."
Oh, yes. I remember Zor well. I also remember that he quit on us pretty fast. I think your sisters might have a different take on him -- I think they all ran for cover when he'd start up. The commercial was wonderful.
Yeah, I loved the commercial. I remembered it as Zor, as well, not King Zor. That was fun to see, too.
Classic. I don't remember that particular toy, maybe it didn't last long on the shelves. I think most of the battery operated toys we had in my family were vehicles; cars, trains, that sort of thing.
Looks like it came out in 1962, Dave. Probably a little before your time.
