Rebel Command Center

Two thoughts: One, Darth Vader and the Bounty Hunters look like they’re going “Hooray!” which is probably what they did at the end of “Empire”.

Two, the Rebel Command center looks like minutes of play.

Empire Toys Helicopters

I get a lot of confused emails about the Empire Toys brand of Helicopter, for those not in the know Empire made licensed helicopters and vans for properties like CHiPs and Spiderman. It was all kind “wink, wink put your Mego dolls in here” or in the case of the Six Million Dollar man, they didn’t even get the licensing but the guy on one of the boxs looked a lot like Lee Majors.

I’ve got the 1979 Empire Catalog on the site, where you can see the silly Hulk Helicopter and Megolike has a great gallery of Empire’s vehicles.

I love this ad from Empire, I especially like the little girl’s Hulk costume but would the Hulk’s cycle have frills?

Another vintage toy industry ad, this time for the Empire Toys Bat Cycle. Think it has enough bats on it?

Why Does the Hulk Need a Helicopter?

Today’s site update is the 1979 Empire Toys Catalog. Empire didn’t make many trendsetting toys, mostly items to fit in with other companies existing lines and using a lot of licenses. Superman, Spider-man and the Incredible Hulk get a lot of face time here.
