If you've been keeping up with our resident "Gilligan's Island" fan Bobby, you know he has tirelessly searched for items for his Skipper cosplay, in particular the hat(s) Alan Hale wore on the series over the years. He's got an update for us on his latest acquisition:
1st company made black Skipper hat I ever owned during my search for one. Broner Hat Co established 1933. Amazon 2011 $33. Late friend Rick Karpinski got it for me.
If you've seen our April 30, 2021 and April 11, 2022 posts, then you know our friend Bobby is an avid "Gilligan's Island" fan, voraciously chasing down a screen-accurate Skipper hat, among many other items in his cosplay collection. Well, Bobby is also a big-time "Dukes of Hazzard" fan, and he's taken to cosplaying Bo and Luke more recently. He just purchased these shirts as replicas of what Bo and Luke (and Vance, actually) wore on the show. Now, Bobby says, he's just looking for the right Coy Duke shirt in blue.

Ooooh, it's a long one, because we're putting all *five* figures into one episode instead of breaking them up. This is a modern set of Archie Comics action figures in Super7's ReAction line. You saw another figure from the ReAction line on the sister series, Terrific TV Toys, and that was a figure of the brilliant Alfred Hitchcock. Now on T let's go back to Riverdale and behold the truly vintage look of these small figures. They are all adorned in very classic looks, and Jughead even has a submarine sandwich!
