Thanks to the wonderful folks at the Johnny Gage Shrine O’ Worship (a page devoted to Randy Mantooth, whose name inspired Brick) we have some new Rack Toys or as Peter Griffen called them on last week’s Family Guy, “Terrible Pharmacy Toys”.

“I thought he was a friend of yours….” Contest Time: I’m ripping off Rob at the Aquaman Shrine and having my first contest. This one’s a little different as everyone can win and it never ends (in theory). Here it is, send me a vintage picture or picture of something vintage and I’ll send you […]
I am totally in love with this ad for the Fun Stuf Electro Genic Arm, obviously a toy made to cash in on the popularity of Steve Austin, it’s just piece of plastic with a circuit sticker on it that a child uses to simulate that they’re bionic That is what’s so incredibly cool about […]
Turning over the reins to Sharry again this week (as I still can’t find that Superman Coloring Book) and she’s got a doozy based on the Krofft Supershow it’s WonderBug but it also has an intro by the long forgotten Kaptain Kool and the Kongs.Whitman also handled the Krofft Supershow comic (which had Bigfoot and […]
New to our page about the Superheroes Waterski show at Sea World are these awesome shots from Betsy who attended this show in January of 1976. I can’t tell you how much I love these! Robin, Batgirl, Batman, Supergirl and Superman giving their bows, I honestly love how you can see the audience in this […]

It’s obvious that Kenner, high off the fumes from the model glue that is the Star Wars franchise decided to […]
Some nice new additions to our Gallery of Rack Toys today, the concentration being on Azarak Hamway or AHI (which I find surprising how many folks call it “Ahheee”). Above is an amazing dual branded package for Star Trek/Space:1999 Jet Disks. You wouldn’t see stuff like this today. This is courtesy of Will Frost. Also […]
The tall one gives me a serious Greg Brady/Johnny Bravo vibe. The other kid looks like every kid who ever attended one of my birthday parties.
This past Sunday, I was publicly outed as a toy collector twice. The first time was when Airport security X Ray’d my carry on baggage. The officer yelled “who’s this Captain Hero doll you got?” I told her it was Batman, her question of “and the little fella?” was met with “Robin!”. She burst out […]
I spent the weekend with friends cruising the Chicago toy show (expect photos from that tomorrow) and one of the cooler things I got came from my pal Charlie’s basement (which has been subject to a couple of blog posts) and not the show itself.This clipping from June 4th 1980 (Click here for a bigger […]
