Description

Land of the Giants Shoot 'N Stick Target Rifle - Open Box (Remco, 1969). Issued to coincide with Irwin Allen's Land of the Giants television series, this Shoot 'N Stick Target Rifle reflects Remco's late-1960s strategy of pairing licensed science-fiction properties with interactive, child-scale role-play toys. Designed for adhesive target play using "stick" darts, translating the show's futuristic adventure into a hands-on play experience. The bold graphics and oversized presentation align with Remco's approach to TV-driven merchandising at the end of the decade, when recognizable branding and activity-based play were central to shelf appeal. The box shows significant wear, with heavy scuffing and denting along the edges and significant scuffing, splitting, and mild crushing to the corners. The box faces exhibit extensive scuffing, creasing, tearing, tape residue, and areas of crushing. The rifle appears unused and is housed in an open box. A scarce licensed survivor from Remco's science-fiction catalog, this Land of the Giants target rifle captures the era's intersection of television fandom and interactive toy design, offering a vivid snapshot of late-1960s pop-culture play.
