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 […]

At one point, this item was my white whale. I never have actually owned one. It’s a pretty rare higher dollar item from AHI, much of their Space:1999 offering could be had with an allowance.

The 1970s was an absolute windfall of Marvel comics merchandise, the house of ideas sold out and we were better off for it. By 1976, the Marvel comics license was shared with dozens of toy manufacturers all vying for our parents hard earned money. Here are top ten of the best Marvel comics toys from […]
I’ve progressed far enough now that I’m ready to launch a seperate web page for my upcoming book tentatively titled “Rack Toys : Cheap, Crazed Playthings”. On the new page you will find: A detailed explaination of what the book is about A basic outline of it’s content Teases as to it’s look and design […]
After almost three decades of toy collecting, not many vintage toy sightings make me want to wet my pants. This past few weeks I’ve had the pleasure of almost losing control several times, first with the Tomland Monsters and then followed up by this, the AHI Superfriends car in glorious detail. My friend Mark from Heroes […]
