Paracaidista del planeta de los simios
Even though the packaging reads “General Urko” that’s clearly Dr. Zaius toting that rifle in a very un-Dr. Zaius like way. Have I mentioned that I want this more than oxygen right now?
Official Planet of the Apes Gyro Motorized Stunt Cycle
When it comes to Planet of the Apes merchandise, I honestly find myself drawn to stuff like this than anything else. Something about it just feels so….right. PlaidStallions Planet of the Apes Rack Toy Gallery
1985 Remco Toys Catalog
Remco Toys was in tenth year of being under the ownership of Azrak Hamway toys and 1985 finds them having a wonderful year of creating some memorable lines that aped the popular themes of the decade. This fantastic catalog covers such great lines like Conan the Barbarian, The Mighty Crusaders, Zybots, Ninjas, Warlord and the […]
AHI Dracula on the card
I had a nice contribution by a fellow named Bob last night of this Azrak Hamway Dracula on the card. I actually didn’t have this version in the AHI Monsters gallery so it was a welcome addition. Dracula was sold in the AHI Official World Famous Super Monsters wave but in a way that distinguished him […]
Mighty Crusaders Rack Toys
I’m excited to have finally tracked down the 1985 Remco/AHI catalog which finally showcases the fine Rack Toys that were offered for the Archie Comics Superhero characters under “The Mighty Crusaders” brand. My major obsession with these is that they’re all re-purposed from mid 1970s AHI Rack Toy merchandise for Batman and Spider-Man. I also […]
Star Trek turns 50
Star Trek turns 50 today as it marks the day the initial episode (although most Trek fans know it’s not technically the first) “The Man Trap” first graced out screens. Being a kid of 1970s, I fell under it’s siren song when the show was just under ten and we have blogged about it a […]
Arm’s Master
I love Rack Toys, I love Space:1999 and of course, Knock Offs. So when all three get together and have a baby, it’s a good time for me. Meet Arm’s Master, a weirdly named series of toys that stole the molds from both AHI Space:1999 and Star Trek toys (seriously, check out this phaser!). Seeing […]
Official Batman Battery Operated Zoom Cycle
I lucked out recently and found this awesome piece of AHI Batman goodness locally for a decent price. So, I thought it would be wonderful time to showcase it a little here. More after the jump! First off, I love that box art, we live in an age of regulated style guides where the brand […]
Wormee, Squirmles and Frizzlies?
Finding this ad for “Wormee” by Imperial Toys made me realize that this toy concept has been around non stop for 40 years, under multiple names. My dad sold these as “Squirmles” back in the day, to the best of my knowledge this was the brand everybody ripped off: You can see a display box […]
Mighty Crusaders Stunt Cycle
It’s been a while since I’ve found a Rack Toy that excites me (that sounds weird) but this week I totally have. These toys come from Remco/AHI and are as I can figure, the last line of these kind of licensed affairs that AHI was so known for in the 70s and 80s. Mighty Crusaders […]
