Mighty Mike With Climb-Action Traction! By Euphrates
Remco's Mighty Mike truck from 1966 was the Captain Action of toy vehicles.
This little palm-sized, battery-operated (two AA batteries) 4X4 Jeep could be converted to a whole fleet of
trucks just by snapping on one of the accessories (sold seperately of course!) to the back. You could turn it into a Camper,
Dump Truck or even a Wrecker.
Remco also made a variety of playsets for Mighty Mike throughout the '60s. Most of them were Skyways, similar to the Ding-A-Ling playsets by Topper. Mike would teeter dangerously (sometimes even on two wheels) across the 8-9 feet of roller coaster-style track. There seem to be plenty of boxed and nice-condition Mighty Mikes available today. You should easily be able to pick up a nice Mike or one of the sets for under $35.
