The Tick 1995 5.5 inch wide by 8.5 inch tall two-sided advertisement Sunbow promotion card

kdmvlz.jpg

The Tick 1995 5.5 inch wide by 8.5 inch tall two-sided advertisement Sunbow promotion card. Not only L.A., not only New York - but our own web of relationships worldwide. Our Studio is Your Studio by Sunbow Enteratainment. Animate the Possibilities with Sunbow...

Sunbow Entertainment was an animation studio, founded in 1980 and owned until 1998 by Griffin-Bacal Advertising in New York and in the United States. Griffin-Bacal's first animations were animated commercials for Hasbro's G.I. Joe toy line.

 

The success of the animated commercials led partners Tom Griffin and Joe Bacal to form Sunbow Productions. Sunbow is noted for many cartoons aired during the 1980s. Most of their work was co-produced with Marvel Productions. Although it is not limited to Hasbro's various toy lines its reputation is tied to the cartoon series tied to them. Its animation was initially produced by the Japanese animation studio Toei Animation, supplemented by the South Korean animation studio AKOM later on. By 1987, most of Hasbro's toy lines were losing money and internal struggles forced the company to end popular series such as G.I. Joe and Transformers. Two of Sunbow's animated movies, The Transformers: The Movie and My Little Pony: The Movie, flopped at the box office, forcing a third project, G.I. Joe: The Movie, to be released directly to video. Sunbow also worked with TMS Entertainment with Hasbro's Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, and one episode of season 3 of The Transformers, "Call of The Primitives".

In a bid to produce original material, Sunbow produced several cartoons through the early 1990s such as The Tick and Conan the Adventurer. Only The Tickmanaged to gain popularity and critical acclaim.

On May 4, 1998, Sony Wonder, a division of Sony Music bought Sunbow Productions and it was later bought by TV-Loonland on October 3, 2000, as well as Sony Wonder's television business assets, which then bought Metrodome Distribution, who had the European rights to the Sunbow catalogue.

Previously, Rhino Entertainment owned the U.S. home video distribution rights to the Sunbow catalogue. The rights then changed hands to Sony Wonder with its acquisition of the catalogue. However, Sony Wonder was shut down in March 2007.

On June 20, 2007, it was announced that Sony Wonder had been moved into Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, which at the time owned the U.S. rights to the Sunbow catalogue. On May 14, 2008, Hasbro announced that it had obtained the rights to all the Sunbow Productions animated series based on Hasbro properties. This includes Transformers, G.I. Joe, My Little Pony, Jem and the Holograms, and many more. The titles are currently managed as part of the Hasbro Studios library. TV-Loonland filed for bankruptcy in 2009. Walt Disney Co. said it had reached a deal to acquire comic book titan Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for 4 Billion Dollars in 2009.

The Tick with a Tie

THE TICK SPOON! 2014 SDCC (SAN DIEGO COMIC CON) MADE BY GBJR TOY CO.

2lvn0k5.jpg

GBJR TOYS CO., Indie Spotlight Limited Edition Series 2, SDCC (Part of the After the Comic Con Sale) that I found on facebook. This comes with his ingenious disguise (The Hypnotic Tie), his crime fighting device (view-master), a stop sign, and of course his silver....SPOOOOOOOOOON! Indie Spotlight Limited Edition Series 2 SDCC version with T-shirt saying Spoon!, Crime fighing View Master, and a Silver Spoon! (Written on the box) "Indie Spotlight will feature 18+ pts of articulation in every 6 - 7 inch scaled figure, GBJR Toys wants to have as close a relationship with the creators of each character as you have come to have over the years of reading their books, so our figures will reflect that. We also realize that Indy Spotlight will create its own universe as it grows, so look for scale to play a big part in expressing the diversity from character to character with giant robots staring down super powered vixens and over muscled supermen going toe to toe with sickly, inhuman creatures...we'll have it all" (Also written on the back of the box) COMIC BOOK HERO STATS: Name: THE TICK. Occupation: Big Blue Crime Fighter. "The Tick is an overly dramatic satire of superheroes such as Superman. Tick known to rant incessantly about the nature of justice using absurd metaphors. he protects The City. He is the wild blue yonder. The frontline in the never-ending battle between good and not-so-good. Together with his stalwart sidekick, Arthur, and the magnanimous help of some other folks he knows they attempt to bring about Justice. Destiny has chosen him, wicked men, you face The Tick! If his strength is not super, then it is certainly impressive. Arthur says that the Tick is stronger than anyone! The Tick's battle-cry is said to baffle, or stun, his opponents. Before battle, he yells out, "SPOON!" The only thing this Big Blue Guy is missing is his secret disguise, The Tie!

THE TICK SERIES 2 MUCUS TICK ACTION FIGURE RELEASED BY BANDAI IN 1995

34ioby8.jpg

THE TICK SERIES 2 MUCUS TICK ACTION FIGURE RELEASED BY BANDAI IN 1995. MUCUS TICK APPEARED IN AN EPISODE OF THE CLASSIC TICK ANIMATED SERIES CALLED "THE TICK VERSUS THE UNCOMMON COLD" WHERE THE TICK HAD AN UNCOMMON COLD. AN EVIL ALIEN TOOK HIS MUCUS AND GAVE IT LIFE. SO, BASICALLY, IT'S A TICK MADE OF SNOT. THIS WAS A VERY GROSS YET MEMORABLE EPISODE OF THE TICK SERIES. ESSENTIALLY, THIS ACTION FIGURE IS A VARIANT EDITION OF THE REGULAR TICK ACTION FIGURES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WICKED SMILE IT HAS, THE TRANSLUCENT GREEN PLASTIC, AND AFTER YOU FILL UP THE WATER PACK WHICH COMES OUT OF HIS BACK, HE IS SUPPOSED TO OOZE THE WATER OUT, BUT IT REALLY SHOOTS OUT OF THE TOP OF HIS HEAD!
