Despite the popularity of Star Wars, the Close Encounters license was only lightly picked up by toy manufacturers. Imperial produced the only thing that can be considered an “action figure” in this pleasant looking bendy. I can’t speak for everybody but these didn’t sell, at all, where i lived. I stared at this display box […]
Finding this ad for “Wormee” by Imperial Toys made me realize that this toy concept has been around non stop for 40 years, under multiple names. My dad sold these as “Squirmles” back in the day, to the best of my knowledge this was the brand everybody ripped off: You can see a display box […]

I have no recollection of purchasing these but frankly I’m not terribly surprised, especially seeing as one of them is a big delicious picture of Ted Lange. Happy Friday everyone! I’m off to […]
Even though I was a teen when this stuff came out, I won’t pretend I didn’t go a bit nuts when I saw Godzilla merchandise in my local drug store. I still have my PVC Godzilla on my desk. But children of the 80s, please tell me, did any of you do the obvious conversion […]
One of the things I’ve noticed about Rack Toys is that good concepts don’t die. This Finger Faces ad is 40 years old but I can still find them at my local dollar store for exactly the same price. I can’t say that about coffee or Buicks sadly… Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a […]
