I am overjoyed to find this, a Hercules Magnetic figure from Space Sentinels. Years ago I found an Astrea, so this is a pretty big deal. Also, Herc was on my beloved “Tarzan and the Super 7”, so this is win/win for me. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page […]
I was recently gifted this, the kind person who found it thought i’d dig it. The gesture alone floored me but so did the toy. Popeye rack toys could fill football fields but the majority of them are nondescript items with little connection to the character, some of them laughable. Leave it to Fleetwood to go […]
My memories of SWAT are limited to the theme song and playing with plastic rifles, were there parachutes on the show or is this just yet another repurposed rack toy? Check out our book “Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings” available at our online store right now!
Given my unhealthy obsession for all things Tarzan combined with my love of Rack Toys, it should be of no surprise to anyone that I flipped out when I saw this. It’s so great I’ll forgive the fact that Tarzan is clearly a giant! Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page […]
This one ends a mystery for me, in 1976 Fleetwood toys released the Marx Marvel Superheroes figures in a slightly smaller size but the big difference is they were fully painted. That box brings me joy. I’ve got one of these (Spider-Man) but I might as well put this out there interwebs, I’m buying. Rack […]

There is no better time capsule into 1970s pop culture than a rack toy catalog especially if it’s one by Fleetwood toys. ’79 is a great example as the company had some fantastic choices, from the TV cop antics of Vega$, Chips and Starsky and Hutch, to the less popular How the West was won. […]
Fleetwood marketed toys based on Vega$ which I always viewed as a “late night grown up program” as a kid. I’m especially amused at the tiny roulette table. It kind of bugs me that Fleetwood thought Vega$ was rack toy gold but Quincy got no love… Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition […]
That safari truck is no match for giant Tarzan. I absolutely LOVE stuff like this, even as a kid I couldn’t have spent my $1.29 quicker. A lot of what I bought for the book, I sold off but this one I kept. There is another version with the Phantom that I need to track […]
As ridiculous as the concept of these toys are, I have to admit that I think the little Hulk and Spidey figures they come with are awesome. You should buy these.
