Trading Card #25 is Nerfman by Parker Brothers, he’s kind of forgotten now but this guy ruled, so I really wanted to honour him a bit. As an added nostalgic bonus, Nerfman is from the first toy dealer catalog I ever found because it came from my dad. Time for another great link in the […]
Believe it or not, DVD reviews were originally a part of this site, I just stopped doing them mostly because of laziness (here is one I did almost three years ago) but I just needed to bring it back for the release of the Monster Squad TV series. Monster Squad was one of those shows […]
Just a few random things I’ve forgotten to show off before hand. Firstly, I am elated to announce the DVD release of the Monster Squad television series this June 23rd. Not to be confused with the 1980s movie of the same name, this Monster Squad was a Saturday morning show reminscent of the Adam West […]
Yeah, I did another batch of trading cards that I’ll slowly reveal on slow news days. The first being my favourite catalog spread of all time, so it’s surprising it didn’t come out earlier. There are something so damn awesome about seeing two of my favourite toylines (in this case the Lincoln Monsters and the […]
With October 31st a day away, it’s prime time to launch another Top Ten List, this time it’s (in my humble opinion of course) the top ten coolest Monster Toys of the 1970s. Being undead seems to be a big boon in the toy world. Even though the seventies were a far cry from the […]
It’s refreshing to see this many monster toys on a Christmas catalog page, usually they get kind of dismissed or marginalized as being “seasonal”. The only thing missing is some slime. While I’ve blogged about Gre-Gory being the one that got away for me as a kid and my obsession with the Remco Monsters is […]
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 […]
