This wonderful piece from December 1977 arrived this week and while I plan to show case the whole thing in loving detail next Christmas, it’s just to good not to share at least a little bit right now. Above is the Mattel Space:1999 Eagle which I think is on my 2014 wish list. I think […]

While I’m too young to remember Remco’s dabble with Star Trek merchandise, I will admit that these lazy,repurposed toys kind of fascinate me. The toys themselves were from a Remco line called “Hamilton Invaders” which was a (very clever) line of Army Men VS Giant insects. When they nabbed the Trek license, they just slapped […]
While generic, I find the art work on these water pistols completely captivating. A lot of effort went into their look and Pop Art is completely missing from our current Rack Toy experience. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us and […]

This ad piece for Licensing Corporation of America, really brings me joy. This photo meant to highlight how good an idea licensing the DC comics heroes is full of 70s eye candy from Mego, Remco and AHI. It’s also the least believable toy store set ever, that’s clearly the LCA showroom with some dude from […]

I hope your 2014 is as cool as this picture.
Above is me, Christmas 1971 after having dined on my sister’s (absolutely delicious) play-doh. It’s the first Christmas I made awkward but certainly not the last…. I just wanted to say take the time to wish all of you a warm and happy Christmas and prosperous new year. 2013 is a year that I’m mostly […]
It seems fitting to end a month of Wish Book pages with what I consider the greatest one ever. From Monkey Wards 1976, the Mego Superheroes battling the Lincoln Monsters. It’s not my favourite because of childhood (we didn’t have Wards in Canada) but when I was a teen tracking down my childhood monster friends, […]
