Original art for MTC Blue Thunder toy (Sponsored Link) –

I fondly remember the MTC Blue Thunder gathering dust at Toys R Us next to the Arco V guns as a teen. This isn’t my grail but I sure do think it’s swell. Toy packaging art was the reason I ever picked up a paint brush and it made my life better.

Shogun Warriors Suspenders (Sponsored eBay Link) —

I’m not sure what the connection to Raideen is here, also isn’t that the flag of Germany?

Fred Flintstone Parachuting Rack Toy (Sponsored eBay Link) —

As silly as these things can be, I haven’t verified anything but I’m certain Fred Flinstone jumped out of a plane at least once. Yes, I’m trying to justify this thing.

Gor King of the Terrons from the UK (sponsored link)

I have a well-known Hasbro Super Joe addiction, and even sweeter is the line in its UK packaging. Dubbed “Commander Power” in England, Super Joe didn’t do well there either, but LOOK AT THAT GORGEOUS BOX. I want it but can’t afford it right now. It’s good to want things though.

The one and only Mego Meet is this August 17-18, 2024 as part of Zolocon in Warminster, PA. Click here for our Facebook Page or here for our forums.

Doctor Who Action Letraset (sponsored eBay link)–\

This one tasks me, even though some kid already did the transfers, I think that adds to the mystique. I don’t know who drew these things but they were amazing and I love this so much.

Marvel Water Pistols

Mantooth — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 11:58:00 +0000

I expect to see Spider-Man and Cap, bonus points for Sgt Fury despite it being a German pistol but Kid Colt Outlaw? That has to be one of his only pieces of merchandise ever. I don’t remember him packing a Saturday night special but whatevs…

Get the expanded digital edition of Rack Toys here.

What every hero needs

Mantooth — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 04:00:00 +0000

Any good hero has a flash light in their utility belt and fortunately for toy makers children never stop being fascinated with them. Crap, I still annoy my wife with one.

Get our new book “Rack Toys” at our shop!

Santa Putty

Mantooth — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:17:00 +0000

Ever wonder what makes Santa tick? Wonder no more, rip ol’ Saint Nick apart and spend hours playing with his magical (possibly delicious but definitely non toxic, so dig in!) guts.

Well, he is a scientist….

Mantooth — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 04:01:00 +0000

Not sure how many codes Spider-Man has to break in every issue or how exciting that would to read but Gordy seemed to have to get very creative with the Spider-Man license. By the time they got in the game they were sharing the webslinger with AHI, Fleetwood, Durham and Nasta.

Check out our upcoming book!

Heroic Flash Lights

Mantooth — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 05:04:00 +0000

Superheroes and flash lights are a cocktail that Rack Toy manufacturers know how to make. Although I really don’t think the Duke Boys count as “Superheroes”…

Gordy Toys wants you to play with “Hulk Putty”

Mantooth — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 05:01:00 +0000

Another player in the world of Rack Toys was Henry Gordy International, who specialized in somewhat generic impulse items with licensed appearance. Among their staples is my new favourite thing mostly because I’m immature:

The “Ball Blaster” would indeed be an effective crime deterrent even Lex Luthor himself would think twice.The primary licenses used here are Spider-Man and Hulk (that TV Series paid off) but the DC staples of Batman and Superman are along for the ride as well.

Gordy was also one of the few companies to license merchandise based on “Battle of the Planets” back in the day.
