Doll:
There's mention of a Nakoma
doll (it's possible the link has expired) on this site,
believe it or not, made by Matel! It's right above the paragraph
about Mork and Mindy. Quote from the site:
For you outdoorsy types, why not Mattel's Dan Haggerty (Grizzly
Adams) and Don Shanks (Nakuma, "Nakoma" on packaging)
from "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams".
Videogame:
The Pandora Directive. A CD ROM videogame in which Don performed stunts as the Black Ninja. You can find him listed under Stunts and Stunt Coordinator.
