I actually don’t have a carded AHI Parachuting Robin but I was fortunate to find the Mexican version produced by Uni-Plast. Due to import laws in the 1970s, a lot of fun American toys were produced under licence in Mexico resulting fun variations like this. To be honest, I kind of like this more.

As weird as these are, I’ve got to admit I kind of love their design. If I had got these as a kid, the only in my size would be Wonder Woman and I would have bought them…. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid […]
Another one of those products where, once you detach them from the card, they have no real connection to the characters after. I do love the Batman card though, it looks like Robin is fed up with Batman’s need to run with them. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book […]
Dutch sent this awesome shot of him and Batman hisself Adam West shaking Bat hands at the Chicago World of Wheels show in 1986. That bat cowl totally rules. Not only that but he shared the killer autograph he got that day from the appearance, well done old chum! Send me your mall appearance photos!
Janex Toys is largely known to children of the 1970s for their talking alarm clocks featuring Raggedy Anne, Batman and Bugs Bunny. However the company put out a lot of different toys and concepts (most of them centering around talking) during their tenure and held a good deal of popular licenses. 1978 saw Janex release […]

Check out the 1978 Empire Toys Catalog here. […]
Bugs Bunny Meets the Superheroes Souvenir Book This is one of the happier finds I’ve had this year, not only do I collect memorabilia from this mid 1970s stage show but it’s a coloring book to boot. If that wasn’t enough, this item teaches me a little bit about the show itself which is good because […]
This past weekend while I set up at Canadian Toycon, my son made a comment about what he hoped to find and how I’ll probably go home with nothing, as usual. This is usually the case, as I’m pretty much into oddball things while he loves that unsold Star Wars prequel merchandise, toy shows are pretty much […]
It’s weird but quite common that in the late sixties, a lot of Batman knock offs in the late 1960s simply replaced “Bat” with “Space”, which is far less lazy than “Catman” I guess… Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us […]
One of my favourites from my burgeoning collection of such things. Do you think if I write my address and tomorrow’s date on this in magic marker, that they’ll show up and spend the day with me? Send me your mall appearance photos!
