Wonder Woman episode "The Deadly Toys" airs 1977


I don't know why this is one of my favorite episodes of Wonder Woman, but The Deadly Toys is a lot of fun.  Perhaps its Frank Gorshin as a dirty old man (the Toymaker, but not the Superman villain Toymaker), who makes a life-sized Wonder Woman robot.  One wonders why he really made her.  Hmmm....

Frank Gorshin played the Riddler in Batman, with Adam West and Burt Ward.  He also appeared in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (also with Adam West).  So he's been up against  DC's Big 3!

In The Deadly Toys, Frank Gorshin and John Rubinstein are replacing scientists with look-alike robots so they can create a powerful weapon.  But Diana Prince and Wonder Woman are on to them.

I really liked the scene with the remote-controlled attack plane but couldn't find the clip.
