Even though they were advertised for a couple of years in their catalogs, the Azrak Hamway James Bond series of Rack toys remains pretty hard to find on the secondary market. It seems they were produced in very low numbers. Recently a carded disc gun came on the secondary market prompting my podcast partner Jason […]
I haven’t really added anything to my collection of Azrak-Hamway monster stuff in a long time. Mostly because the stuff I want is either a) extremely hard to find or b)insanely expensive or a combination of the two. That’s why I was excited to snag this open carded Kong squirt gun at the last Mego […]
A recent happy pick up for me is this Doctor Zauis squirt gun by AHI, I’ll probably never get a creature from the black lagoon but this is pretty swell. I hope at least one of these displays survived. Azrak Hamway Index on PlaidStallions/AzrakHamway.com Monster Gallery Batman Gallery Star Trek Gallery Planet of the Apes […]
I was kinda crushed to hear of the passing of Martin Landau yesterday besides being a fan of his work, there is also a true connection to him and this site. It was my admiration for merchandise based on Space:1999 that got me into toy collecting in the first place, so without Martin Landau toys, […]
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?
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
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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
