Aviva
Aviva made a series of figures distributed through Woolworth's & Co.
(a .05¢ & 10¢ store) based on a rather obscure TV
Show in the 1970s called Space Academy. The figures are approximately
8.5 inches tall, except for Loki who is scaled down because he
is "kid
size". The figures were based on the main characters of the
show and there were Isaac Gampu (you might remember the actor from "Lost
in Space" as Dr. Smith), Chris Gentry, Tee Gar Soom, and Loki
(who was kind of an android boy). These characters have an inherent
weakness in that the joints deteriorate over time and just fall
apart. The plastic also gets very brittle. I tried to re-string
one once and it just fell into pieces.
