Planet de los Simios
This Mexican version of the classic AHI parachuting Doctor Zaius is my new favourite thing.
HULK DRIVE!!!!!!
I know his “van” is actually more of a pick up truck but I’m not going to tell him.
Space:1999 The Alien
This is a piece I wanted to add to Rack Toys but it got a little wordy and too insider, so I saved it for here. Most Space:1999 fans are at least slightly aware of the fundimensions “The Alien” model kit, which has no connection to the show. It is in fact, a revamped Goerge […]
Gerry Anderson Toy Tribute
The passing of legendary TV producer Gerry Anderson yesterday, put me into a real funk. Anderson created two of my favourite science fiction series of all time in UFO and Space:1999, not to mention a pile of super cool kid’s programming in the 1960s. The man was a visionary, Whenever Anderson’s name appeared, awesome merchandise […]
Wolfman Flasher Faces
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. […]
Prototype Creature from the Black Lagoon
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 […]
Introduction to Horror
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, […]
AHI Mysteries #3: Super Klobbers
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 […]
To the (Junior) Bat Boat!
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 […]
Cool Collections: Kip of the Apes
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 […]
