The Boy Wonder’s Bedroom

The red phone is of course, a direct link to Commissioner Gordon. I really believe that killer graphics like these bed sheets are the thing that brainwashed me into the deranged superhero junky i remain today. Damn you Licensing Corporation of America! Frightenstein Contest Winner! Congrats to James Powell for winning our “Save Frightenstein” contest […]

Superheroes on Stage!

David T sent in this interesting shot from “Bugs Bunny Meets the Superheroes”, the terrific trio of Batman, Robin and Wonder Woman stand tall while the Looney Tunes characters frollick, it must have been some kind of show….Thanks David, you rock! Visit the Mall Appearance Gallery, if you have a contribution, drop us a line!

1981 Azrak Hamway Catalog

The beginning of the end for the Rack Toy giant, while the company would continue and prosper for the rest of the decade, it would also eventually fold it’s toy division completely under the Remco Name. The 1981 AHI catalog almost looks like a lower cost copy of the 1981 Remco offerings, all the licenses […]

The Bat Boat Zooms In

The Dynamic Duo swoop in on their sweet, sweet bat boat in this great shot from Sea World. This picture is again courtesy of Steve C. and it’s just cementing my belief that I missed out on something. More Aquatic Superheroics next week. For more on this check out our gallery: And if you have […]

Fist Fighting Superheroes at Sea World

A little “Bif Bang Pow” today as the Dynamic Duo engage in a little fisticuffs with the Joker and Penguin at Sea World. This picture is again courtesy of Steve C. and I love the henchman carrying the“Pow!” sign in the background, it not only shows the influence the 1966 TV show still had ten […]

The 1977 REMCO Toys Catalog

Remco’s name was purchased in 1974 by Azrak Hamway, a successful manufacturer of rack toys. AHI used the Remco brand to sell a more upscale toy but one that still utilized the many licenses integral to their core business. 1977 saw the introduction of Mickey Mouse to the fold and more Superhero (especially Batman) related […]

Bop the Champ

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one of these Mego Muhammad Ali bop bags surface in collectors circles before. Is it just me or does Ali look cool standing next to Batman? Maybe DC teamed him up with the wrong guy. For more on Mego and Muhammad Ali, check out this page. BREAKING TOY GEEK […]

Super Spinner of Rack Toys

The stuff dreams are made of, a spinner packed to the gills full of rack toys by Henry Gordy inc. Imagine finding this in some long forgotten hardware store somehere. I’d fill my car with Superman Ball Blasters… I don’t get the Hulk handcuffs though unless he was kinda kinky.

The Riddler, Catwoman and The Joker Team up!

Another gem courtesy of Lou, here are the villains from “Bugs Bunny Meets the Superheroes”. That Joker is creepy! This is the final picture from this series but there is a little more. I got some help with these negatives from the photo department at my office and she generously rescanned and cleaned up these […]

The Dynamic Duo

As promised, we’re beginning a series about the 70s stage extravaganza “Bugs Bunny meets the Superheroes” thanks to some negatives unearthed by my buddy Lou. First off are the caped crusaders themselves (and some kid) doing a photo opoutside the show. More coolness next week.
