REMCO AHI MAKE IT HAPPEN
I recently found a Hong Trade catalogue from 1983 highlighting the toy manufacturers of the era. I plan to share pages from this book for the rest of the year.
Our first subject is Remco/Azrak Hamway International. At this time, the manufacturing was done by a company called SOMA traders ltd. SOMA is still around today and is likely responsible for some appearances of older AHI tooling showing up as knock-offs.

SGT Rock was one of Remco’s bright spots that year. It was obviously meant to catch some of the heat that GI Joe was enjoying, and it totally worked. In addition to licensed copycat lines, Remco made straight-up RAH Knock-Off lines that are tons of fun.
The Universal Monsters figures were still a seller for Remco at this point, although this would be their final year. The Monsters action figure license would next land at Imperial Toys.
