With Halloween appraoching, it seemed like a great time to showcase all the little additions I have for the various Rack Toy pages on the site. It’s all about the Monsters this week. Above is a carded Azrak Hamway Frankenstein, later issue than the one previously featured on the site, the card now includes Dracula […]
The Lincoln Monsters can often be dismissed as “Knockoffs” which they are but they are also a charming and fun monster toy line to collect. These eight inch Mego inspired figures debuted in the mid 1970’s by Lincoln International, these figures saw distribution in the United Kingdon, Europe and much of North America. They’re also […]
We’re jetting forward to 1984 to take a look at Manglors, a rather unique toy offering from Ideal Toys. Manglors weren’t action figures (they had no articulation) but rather a new kind of concept, made of a spongy material that stretched and apparently could be reattached. Every character in the line seemed to be a […]
Some nice new additions to our Gallery of Rack Toys today, the concentration being on Azarak Hamway or AHI (which I find surprising how many folks call it “Ahheee”). Above is an amazing dual branded package for Star Trek/Space:1999 Jet Disks. You wouldn’t see stuff like this today. This is courtesy of Will Frost. Also […]
This past Sunday, I was publicly outed as a toy collector twice. The first time was when Airport security X Ray’d my carry on baggage. The officer yelled “who’s this Captain Hero doll you got?” I told her it was Batman, her question of “and the little fella?” was met with “Robin!”. She burst out […]

Take it away Rob!Will Eisner’s The Spirit Coloring Book wasn’t the […]
Monster Squad was a 1976 NBC saturday morning series that married the classic monsters with the 60’s Batman series ( Stanley Ralph Ross who developed Monster Squad wrote 17 episodes of Batman).In a nutshell, Museum night watchman Walter (a pre Love Boat Fred Grandy) is an aspiring criminologist, his crime computer brings to life the […]
The Mighty and Men and Monster Maker was simply one of the coolest Monster toys ever. I don’t know how many women I’ve known who wanted this but received it’s female companion, Fashion Plates. This happened to my wife, who simply mixed fashion plates people with her brother’s monster plates, genius. I got to play […]
It almost doesn’t seem fair to talk about Monster Toys and not bring up one of the most popular and influential of them all, the Aurora Monster kits. So today’s update is a look at the 1975 Aurora Glow in the Dark Classic Movie Monsters Catalog. As an added bonus we have shots from the […]
Remco Mini Monsters are an obsession of mine, the marriage of 3 3/4″ Star Wars like figures with the Universal Monsters is in my humble opinion, perfection. I just recently tracked down the play case but bought a sealed one that I can’t play with. I’d never punch out the cardboard pieces anyway.What haunts me […]
