No, it’s not the title of Don Knott/Tim Conway vehicle, although it should have been. I Spied these awesome little guys at a toy show. I wish I had a ten thousand square foot toy room….

Little Lulu stocks up

When your best friend’s name is “Tubby” you’d better make with the groceries! Thanks to the Simpsons, Little Lulu will always remind me of Alan Moore. Rack Toys is available right now!

The Ghost who walks (in pharmacy toy aisles)

The Phantom got a lot of cool Rack Toy love in the 70s, which is pretty cool considering he didn’t have a cartoon show to back him up. I like all of the toys but this set, this one is something I’m actively searching for. Seriously, if you have one of these for sale, I’ve […]

George Kennedy goes on a rampage

January 29, 2013 By Mantooth In Uncategorized 3 Comments

I’m not sure why but Larami Toys really thought that kids would dig George Kennedy and his one and a half season series “The Blue Knight”, which was the story of a veteran beat cop. They marketed all kinds of slightly ridiculous “actiony” items around the series including motorcyles with figures (which I assume means […]

Codematic by Larami

I love this display from Larami in 1976, the company prided itself on it’s ability to systematically stock toys using their sales team (they were owned by a bakery). They also really thought the image of George Kennedy would make kids weak in the knees, crap he’s on this display more than Martin Landau or […]

Battlestar to the moon!

December 11, 2012 By Mantooth In Uncategorized No Comments

At first glance the Larami L.E.M lander looks more logical, almost in synch with the series. I mean these guys packaged EVERYTHING under the BSG banner save for sewing sets including jets, yes just plain ordinary fighter planes. However, the L.E.M lander is just a repackaged moon landing toy and has absolutely nothing to do […]

Swiss:1999

If you’re stranded on an alien planet and the beer bottles aren’t screw off, this puppy will be worth it’s weight in gold. What’s sad about this thing is, I’ve spent about twenty minutes looking through catalogs trying to find the version of this that has images from the show’s second season. It’s getting a […]

Popeye merchandise is a sea (i’m hilarious) of weird, re purposed stuff that has nothing to do with the character. It’s always nice to see something that while absolutely re purposed, kinda, sorta relates to the character.

Target : Monsters

October 2, 2012 By Mantooth In Uncategorized No Comments

I found this toy in the 1976 Larami catalog, I have no clue as to whether or not it was produced but it is something I will keep my eyes out for. It’s a pretty galling use of the Universal characters and I doubt it’s officially licensed in any way. That’s the joy that is […]
