I was super stoked to find this amazing Chemtoy catalog page featuring the Groovie Goolies figures (which I sadly don’t own but luckily are featured in Rack Toys). It’s bittersweet that the find happened just as I get news that Lou Scheimer has passed away. It’s no secret I adored the man’s work and I […]
Remember that awesome Dick Tracy Wrist TV from 1975 a few weeks ago? Here it is again in a somewhat less logical form from 1982. I guess you could imagine that Dick threw out his old wrist TV and the Cosby kids found in the junkyard? I dunno it’s a bit like dissecting gossamer really…. […]
I haven’t had many additions to our Tarzan Toy Gallery in a long while but this figure is a pretty big deal to me. It’s made in Spain and I missed a carded one last year (and I didn’t manage to save the auction photos) but the card art seemed to suggest that it’s based on […]
Aw yeah, another stellar find in my quest to find any merchandise from the Filmation “Tarzan and the Super 7” series. This time it’s binoculars that I can honestly say were never mentioned or used on the show in any way. Such is the beauty of Rack Toys… This was another situation where the seller […]
Readers of this fine blog and my long suffering friends may know of my life long obsession with Filmation’s “Tarzan and the Super 7” TV series and my quest to find any merchandise surrounding it. I’m elated to post my latest haul, the tool set a completely nonsensical item from Imperial Toy that features team […]
Review: Lou Scheimer: Creating the Filmation Generation By Lou Scheimer and Andy Mangels My earliest memory in this life, other than eating delicious Play Doh on Christmas morning 1971, was watching a Batman cartoon with my sister in the TV room one random morning in 1972. The Penguin was stealing a tank and gassed a […]
This “Manta and Moray” watch is my first find of merchandise from childhood favourite show “Tarzan and the Super 7”. Somebody actually offered this for sale at the Megomuseum forums where I’m known to be, so it was rather serendipitous It’s pretty well documented that DC comics felt Manta was a little too close […]
Looking at this vintage licensing ad stirs some emotion in me. I mean seriously, why were we not treated to “Bigfoot and Wildboy” action figures? We live in a world where got toys of “The Waltons” but the “Space Sentinels” seemed too risky? Agggghhhh, I’d almost be filled with rage were it not for that […]
My obsession with Filmation’s short lived (and sadly “damned to never be on DVD”) series “Tarzan and the Super 7” continues with the only known merchandise, all of it lower cost rack toys. Above we have Bubb-a-loons featuring Web Woman (a boyhood crush), Manta and Moray and The Freedom Force (one of the cooler superhero […]
Filmation’s Tarzan and the Super 7 series is easily one of my favourite cartoon series of all time. It’s copyright infringing characters made me a fan for life, however merchandise for the series seems few and far between. However, it seems that rack toy manufacturer Imperial did have the license and exploited it nicely, here […]
