I’m officially changing my name to “Karate Joe” this morning to reap all the rewards I assume are associated with it…. More Explosive goodness. Like our Facebook Page Check out our Instagram Get the expanded digital edition of Rack Toys here.
My pal Jesus posted this yesterday and it’s too good not to share, behold the many different faces of Dr. Steel one of my favourite action figures of the 1970s. Mainly known as Dr. Steel, the notable exceptions are when he’s called “Dr. Acero” (Steel) in Spain and “Doctor Drago” in Mexico but that’s only because Big […]
Picked up this oddity at last month’s Kane County toy show. It’s the regular Big Jim Honda bike that was released for a couple of years but for some reason it’s got the Pack logo emblazoned on it. This isn’t a sticker either, it’s printed on the box. The best I can figure this is […]
Moving things around yesterday I looked at the back of GI Joe package for the first time in years and was kind of blown away at how striking it is. It really shows how powerful this artwork was, no wonder I’m a junkie for it some 40 years later.

I’m back from Mego Meet and I bring many virtual presents in the form of the sights I encountered there. Let’s start with this, a Popy Evel Knievel stunt set or as they dubbed it “The Evel Knievel Challenge Machine”. I had to do some Guerilla photography on this one because it had just been […]
Sadly, Jerry Lewis was never part of the GI Joe Adventure Team, his presence was to promote a series of board games. What a missed opportunity to have sets like “Search for the Golden Ladieeeeeeee!”
I really don’t have a lot to say today other than the sight of Fisher Price Adventure People never fail to make me happy. This ad is from 1975 when “collect em all” meant “four sets”.
I think this Kentucky Fried Chicken play set is one of the more charming toy concepts I’ve seen in a while. I’d also like to say I want that little Col. Sanders more than air currently. I guess this was even TV advertised, I certainly don’t remember the commercials.
There is nothing i like more an European Catalog for GI Joe Adventure team toys and this one from Polistil Italy is a lot of fun. Here they are the Action Team and all science fiction is toned down in favour of a slightly more paramilitary look. As always, the products and faces are familiar […]
