I like to think that in this universe Kojak was the guy nobody invited but they didn’t want to be rude.

Charlie’s Angels Beauty Set
There is nothing like the concerned face of Farrah Fawcett Majors to help you with your morning beauty routine. I want to add that when working on the book, I couldn’t find one of these flipping things, now I’m tripping over them…. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from […]
Costume Spotlight: Goldar from Space Giants
There is nothing I love more than Halloween Costumes based on obscure properties and brother does this fit the bill. Space Giants was a 60’s Japanese TV series that ran in syndication until the late 70s. This outfit was actually produced towards in the tail end most likely due to a renewed interest in science […]

Ideal’s Electroman promotion
I recently came across this Ideal piece demonstrating how much TV advertising they were putting into their Electroman toy.
