Larami was well known for some of my favourite Rack Toy output in the 1970s and 80s. However, the one thing that I am mildly obsessed with for their oddity is the so-called “Super Heroes Skates.” They’re cheap roller skates shaped like Super Heroes or are they Super Heroes shaped like Roller Skates? They all […]
It’s hard to believe, but just a short time ago we had the wacky idea to record the pop culture-centric phone chats we regularly had, in the hopes that there’d be a few other people out there that would find them amusing. Seems our instincts were right, cuz we shut our eyes, hit the gas, […]
Loving this UK advertisement for Our Way Studios Jointed Giants Super Heroes. I wanted these really bad as a kid, heck I’d still love to get the Planet of the Apes Galen. They weren’t terribly expensive either, I just never saw them as a kid other than Heroes World advertisements. A while back we posted […]
EBAY LINK:”That” Batman water gun– Yup, this thing needs no introduction, it’s been all over the Internet and even in my book Rack Toys (2nd edition coming soon!). What else can be said about this? It kind of looks like Adam West? You put water in his butt, squeeze his groin and he spits at […]

Crime Busters come out of the United Kingdom and seem to from the late 70s or early 1980s. They one of many Knock Off series that make use of discarded or left-over suits from Ideal’s Captain Action. This kind of item popped up until the mid-1980s. The figures themselves appear to be lower quality knock-offs […]
Most people know Duncan from their Yo-Yo products which they still sell to this day but their 1981 catalog shows a company branching out into different things, mostly toy cars and trucks but also licensed items like the Batmobile. Yo-yo’s and trucks are a weird combination.. Ah vans with rainbowy things painted on them, […]
EBAY LINK Starzinger-SpaceKeteers Helmet- The animated antics of “Force Five” didn’t hit the Toronto market until I was way too old to enjoy it but I really remember watching it on Channel 47. Spaceketeers was the one show that wasn’t somehow connected to the Shogun Warriors, I haven’t thought of it in a long while […]
Ourways Studios produced some of the wildest superhero merch in the 70’s, best known for their awesome stickers and decals their product features art by some of the true greats like Neal Adams and John Romita. There was something so incredibly cool about a time when a company could have both the Marvel and […]
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 business. 1977 saw the introduction of Mickey Mouse to the fold and more Superhero related products which would […]
