Spider-Man and Hulk Finger Puppets
These are more commonly found loose than carded, they were mainly sold in a counter display box with Captain America and Thor. Get our book on Rack Toys and other goodies at our online store
1980 Azrak Hamway (AHI) Toy Catalog
As one of the premiere rack toy manufacturers of the 1970s, Azrak Hamway International (most commonly referred to as AHI by collectors) ended the decade with a bang featuring new products featuring their hottest licenses. Most notably in this book are the Marvel and DC superheroes, Star Trek, KISS and the Universal Monsters. It is […]
Spider-Man Ricochet Racers
Ricochet racers were a cool concept on their own, it’s a neat looking laser gun looking rifle that shot cars! Sprinkle in Spider-Man and Captain America and few kids could resist them.
Bubble Funnies
My friend found these while we were on a flea market run and I gotta admit I was totally envious. I haven’t thought of these bubble gum and mini comic book combos in 30 years but seeing them just made me happy. I now have to track down every one of these and Chu-Bops (the […]
1977 Fleetwood Toys Catalog
Fleetwood toys was one of the biggest and most prolific manufacturers of Rack Toys during the 1970s and 80s. In 1977, they were truly on top of their game as evidenced by the massive amount of licenses they had this year including the Marvel Comics Superheroes, Welcome Back Kotter, Starsky and Hutch, The Rookies, SWAT, Tarzan, the […]
Starlog stores in Japan
(click on any photo for an enlargement) Like a lot of 70s kids, I cut my nerdy teeth on Starlog magazine. It was basically my window into a world of wonder that wasn’t available where I grew up. As a struggling student in the 90s, I used to visit the Starlog store in New Jersey […]
Jointed Avengers
My pal Corey had these in his collection, a series of Spanish walll hanging heroes that remind me greatly of the Our Way Studios stuff from the mid 70s. While the Hulk is nice, I especially dig the Thor. If anybody knows how many characters were made or owns others, I’d love to see them, […]
Web Spinning Toy Love
What’s not to love about this 1977 licensing ad for Marvel Comics, it’s like Spider-Man is dropping a treasure trove of Mego items on you along with classics like Crazy Foam and Colorforms. That’s a monsterous improvement over the usual rain and bird poop that normally falls on me from above…
More Comic 3 Packs
I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I last raved about my mild obsession with Whitman comic poly bagged 3 packs of my youth. I guess that’s because I haven’t across many deals and actually let some awesome ones slip through my fingers. Above is Shogun Warriors, while I never had any of […]
Mighty Marvel Superheroes
This one ends a mystery for me, in 1976 Fleetwood toys released the Marx Marvel Superheroes figures in a slightly smaller size but the big difference is they were fully painted. That box brings me joy. I’ve got one of these (Spider-Man) but I might as well put this out there interwebs, I’m buying. Rack […]
