Products

Larami toys were produced based on several movies, television shows, etc.[2] By the 1980s, Larami Corp. had a growing water gun product line.[1] It was Larami Corp. that eventually marketed and sold the Power Drencher, rebranded as the Super Soaker in 1991.[1] Battery operated water guns. [3]

Movies

Television shows

Battlestar Galactica Cylon Bubble Machine

Battlestar Galactica Cylon Bubble Machine in its packaging

In 1978, Larami created a Cylon soap bubble toy called the Battlestar Galactica Cylon Bubble Machine to coincide with the television series of the same name.[4] In the same year, a commercial was also made for the product featuring its use in dispensing "big bunches of bubbles"[6] and a jingle.[4][6] In a Los Angeles Times article covering Battlestar Galactica's influence on Facebook, the toy's Facebook Fan Page is noted alongside the book The Science of Battlestar Galactica's.[7]

Jingle

The notable jingle has been covered by such websites as Retrocrush where it was described as "amazingly goofy with a chorus yelping, "Battlestar Galacticaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ...CYLON BUBBLE MACHINE!"[8] and in an interview Re-imagined Series comics writer Greg Pak as said "I still periodically find myself humming the tune song [sic] to the Cylon Bubble Machine commercial."[9]
