This week, we talk about one of my favorite subjects, cheap rack toys but even better, they’re  planet of the apes rack toys. 


 We get into the history of licensed parachute toys, which are some of the most fun but also bizarre toys we could buy for under a buck. So we talk about RipCord, Star Trek, Batman, Space:1999, Sgt. Rock and the Mighty Crusaders as well. It’s the most fun you ever had before you lost it in a tree.

Very happy to have finally tracked down this tough as nails variant in one of my favourite toy themes of all time, Parachutin’ Rack Toys.

For some reason, Azrak Hamway made a running change to the their Planet of the Apes parachute figures. They came armed and unarmed, which is befuddling considering they probably only made these for a year or so.

I’m guessing by the fact that the armed Apes are so much easier to track down than the “pacifist” versions (seriously this took me ten years to find one) that they came later but honestly, I don’t know much as to why they’d make a completely new figure for a dime store toy.


Another “Unsolved AHI Mystery”, stay tuned…..
