Behold the last Monster Rack Toy ever produced by AHI! Flasher Faces popped up five years after the Monster merchandise bonanza of the mid seventies and while AHI was doing wonderful things with the license under their Remco brand, these flasher faces are the sole bit of cheap, dime store goodness produced during this period. […]
I recently got a decent scan of this to ad to the Azrak Hamway Monster archive, it’s the mocked up Creature from the black lagoon figure on his looks to be hand drawn card. It’s hard to say what he’s constructed of, it almost looks like a converted Aurora Creature kit, either way I hope […]
Really happy to be unveiling this today as it’s something I’ve been sitting on for a few weeks. What you’re looking at is the intro to the Monster chapter of my Rack Toys book. This was painted by the mad genius Matt “MonsterMatt” Patterson. I met Matt at one of my favourite summer time haunts, […]
Here’s another one I hope is real, Super Klobbers. Basically, they’re just Centsable Socker Boppers with Super Hero dressing. The kick of these is they seemed to have used classic stock art (including swipes from the Mego Superman box) and added boxing gloves to them. Look at that lovely Neal Adams Batman ready to go […]
Honestly I could write an entire book at Batman Rack Toys at this point, that bat logo is a license to print money. It’s amazing how much of it is inspired by the 1966 television series, this wonderful little item from AHI was created and released some 11 years after the TV series was cancelled. Check […]
Been really under pressure to put the final touch on Rack Toys this month so i was coming up short with a Friday feature. Enter Kip and his amazing, newly displayed Ape collection to the rescue! I’ve seen plenty of Planet of the Apes and King Kong collections in my time but Kip seems to […]
This one blew my mind, UK Toy distributor Jotastar (who sold a lot of AHI stuff in the UK) plastered the Blake’s Seven logo on some unrelated friction space ships in the early 1980s. They have no relation to the program but I must admit I want them. For those not in the know, Blake’s […]
Another l’il mystery I found in doing research for “Rack Toys” this one is from the 1979 catalog, a time when AHI seemed to renewing their interest in superhero items. These Fantastic Four parachute figures appeared in the 1979 catalog along with new characters like the Incredible Hulk and Captain America. It’s pretty logical that AHI would pick […]
In doing research for “Rack Toys” (which is almost there, I swear) I’ve had the pleasure of pouring through many old AHI catalogs and I’ve noticed several items I believe to have never been made but with AHI you never know. Case in point this remote control battery operated Star Trek “U.S.S. Enterprise” that is featured […]
