5 Awesome Things on eBay this week- Marvel Superheroes, Samurai Ninjas, Ghost Lights, Letraset Star Wars & Sesame Street’s the Count! Samurai Playset (sponsored link) — This wonderful set of (cheap) Action figures is neither a play set nor are they Samurai, at least from my limited understanding of Japanese history. However, if someone hasn’t […]
This booklet is a handout given away at ToyFair 1990, raving about the new ToyBiz action figure line and other merch and touting the upcoming Captain America movie.! I remember this wave of Marvel figures being a big deal then. Collectors hadn’t seen Marvel action figures since Secret Wars a few years earlier and […]
AHI (Azrak-Hamway International) is largely famous for creating some incredible licensed rack toys and action figure in the 1960s to the 1980s. However, they also had a thriving business in the inflatable pool toys category. while the offerings were largely generic, AHI occasionally brought over some of their better licenses from Rack Toys. The 1979 […]
I was jazzed to find this wonderful trade advert for the Ben Cooper Superhero Jigglers (their word was Wiggly but . Ben Cooper made these floppy figures for the better part of a decade and then they were bootlegged for another 10-15 years! It was a good way to keep Ben Cooper products on […]
Vintage Mego returns with a look at the Magna Heroes, a marriage of the Micronauts and the Superheroes. It’s the one Mego Superhero line most of us never got but probably should have. Iron Man was played by Jason Lenzi. Special thanks to Eddy Berst and Will McGowan (@toltoys_kid) for sharing their discoveries. #Mego […]
Col Sanders Action Figure in car (eBay Link)-– This is from a larger playset, but if I saw this at an antique mall, it would HAVE to come home with me. Like the Hamburglar, the Col. rocks my world. Although I can’t remember the last time I ate there. A big old bunch […]
Let’s Boogie Iron-On (eBay Link)– I sincere remember this from an ad in old Gold key comics, I’ve never seen it up close before. To me, it’s an artist’s depiction of Cher being asked out by Ray Jay Johnson. GLJ Incredible Hulk Chair (eBay link) == I have a mild obsession […]
Space Ace Rack Toy (eBay Link) – I remember waiting in a long line to play “Dragon’s Lair” at an arcade at the CNE one summer. I put in a dollar(!) and died immediately. So I’ve never played Space Ace. Obviously, these games were the future, but this system was problematic for me at least. […]
Remco Lost in Space Helmet (eBay Link) — Before AHI took them over, REMCO were the absolute kings of licensed label slapping. This helmet is every bit as goofy as the Star Trek one, trouble is, it did look like a prop from Lost in Space. Knock-Off Spock Ears (eBay Link)— Oh Mr. Martian looks […]
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 […]
