As a kid, I figured out that combining these sets with other dimestore novelties could result in some B-Movie goodness, so I had Cowboys vs Giant bugs and Army Men vs Dinosaurs quite often. This is the only skill of merit that I taught my children. Don’t forget to join our new facebook group. Get […]
King of the Impossible and King of the drugstore toy aisle, Flash really got around.
One of the nicest things that goes on at MegoMeet is that the dealer’s humour me and allow me to document stuff I can’t afford. Case in point this Official Superman Super Streak by Azrak Hamway, one of the rarest rack toys I’ve ever come across. My best guess is these didn’t sell well due […]
I’ve just returned from my favourite toy convention of all time, Mego Meet and please excuse the sleepy voice but I haven’t had much sleep! Thought it would be fun to go over the various items I picked up at this weekend’s festivities, stuff from Planet of the apes, the Monster Squad, Stretch Armstrong, Godzilla, […]
I found this piece that I honestly didn’t know existed, so it was a pretty big deal for me. As a lover of the TV show “Kung Fu”, the merchandise is minimal and this set from Multiple Toys is something special. The weird thing is, it’s actually not licensed. Released just after the show was […]
Just in time for the site’s 13th anniversary, I was honoured to be a guest on Dan Blank’s Creative Shift Podcast recently, totally out of my comfort zone but also a really fun experience. We talk about the history of the site, toy collecting, writing “Rack Toys” and blogging, it was a really enjoyable conversation. […]
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 […]
The subject of this weeks Toy-Ventures is one of the coolest and most underrated action figure lines of the 1970s, the “Metal Man” series by Zee Toys (AKA Zylmex). The Metal Man line had no TV advertising, no print campaign but thanks to its excellent design and timing (arriving at the same time as the […]
I’d like to pretend that the fact that I have these toys on season one cards is enough for me but honestly, I want these season 2 versions pretty badly. Oh Martin Landau, you have cast a spell on me… New Six Million Dollar Man Shirt in our Redbubble store! Don’t forget to join our […]
One of the beautiful thing about Rack Toys is they are proof of some of televisions weirdest moments, I didn’t dream that show about the super intelligent talking Orangutan who works for the government. Ja-Ru must have got these to shelves in time for the show’s cancellation. New Six Million Dollar Man Shirt in our […]
