I got this image sent to me this week and well, I instantly had a new grail as it’s something I’ve never seen. Like many young boys my interest in Electra Woman and Dyna Girl wasn’t exactly understood at the time (don’t worry, I figured it out!) but I was a fan of the show, […]
Behold the Land of the Lost Moonbase Rocket, brought to you by people who never watched a single second of the show. It’s stuff like this that just makes me oddly happy. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us and get […]
My buddy Julian sent this in, total love at first sight for me (the toy, not Julian although I’m sure he’s swell too). Jaws was of course, a massive pop culture phenomenon the likes of which we rarely see. The greatest thing to toy makers is, you can’t copyright a shark! So even though there […]
I hereby decree this day Fisher Price appreciation day, have you called your little people and thanked them yet?
When your best friend’s name is “Tubby” you’d better make with the groceries! Thanks to the Simpsons, Little Lulu will always remind me of Alan Moore. Rack Toys is available right now!
As much as I enjoyed my childhood, it sometimes pains me to think of the stuff we didn’t get, for whatever boring grown up decision. Sure, some of these licensed wouldn’t have sold and could have forced the companies into risky financial positions but baby Brian wants his toys dammit! Here are the top ten […]
I’m not sure why but Larami Toys really thought that kids would dig George Kennedy and his one and a half season series “The Blue Knight”, which was the story of a veteran beat cop. They marketed all kinds of slightly ridiculous “actiony” items around the series including motorcyles with figures (which I assume means […]
I love this display from Larami in 1976, the company prided itself on it’s ability to systematically stock toys using their sales team (they were owned by a bakery). They also really thought the image of George Kennedy would make kids weak in the knees, crap he’s on this display more than Martin Landau or […]
I found this toy in the 1976 Larami catalog, I have no clue as to whether or not it was produced but it is something I will keep my eyes out for. It’s a pretty galling use of the Universal characters and I doubt it’s officially licensed in any way. That’s the joy that is […]
This 1976 Toyfair appearance by “Superman” to promote his upcoming Duncan yo-yo features possibly the most disappointing man of steel I’ve ever seen. That guy looks like Ruben Kincaid, was Norman Fell dressed as Batman somewhere?
