Check out these groovy "Gilligan" goods

Our pal Bobby loves "Gilligan's Island," and he recently shared these photos with BRBTV. Nice collection of figures! One of these figures is from Figures Toy Co. and very recent; the others are from Exclusive Premiere and are limited-edition and numbered.








Bobby has also nabbed himself a captain's hat just like what Skipper and Mr. Howell wore on the series. Below, Skipper is wearing his Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. brand hat.

 




"I got the Broner hats in 2010 (white) and 2012 (blue)," Bobby says, "and the black Midway in 2014. Searched for a black one just like Skipper wore since 1990, when I was 3 and found and got into the show. I collect the hats 'cuz I love the show and he's my favorite of the 7."

He adds, "Midway turned out to be the screen-used brand from the first TV reunion movie in 1978, 'Rescue From Gilligan's Island.'"
