I love Rack Toys, I love Space:1999 and of course, Knock Offs. So when all three get together and have a baby, it’s a good time for me. Meet Arm’s Master, a weirdly named series of toys that stole the molds from both AHI Space:1999 and Star Trek toys (seriously, check out this phaser!). Seeing […]
There is no greater time in a toy collector’s journey then when they find that something that they thought existed, actually does. Well I guess, finding it for a dollar would trump that but no such luck here. After decades of searching I have found my white whale, the very last produced Parachutist figures by […]
I lucked out recently and found this awesome piece of AHI Batman goodness locally for a decent price. So, I thought it would be wonderful time to showcase it a little here. More after the jump! First off, I love that box art, we live in an age of regulated style guides where the brand […]
I found this catalog from Croner, an Australian toy distributor that carried alot of US items by companies like MPC and Azrak-Hamway International. Nothing that I haven’t seen before but it’s nice to end a week looking at stuff like this. That Captain America kite is particularly dreamy.
Finding this ad for “Wormee” by Imperial Toys made me realize that this toy concept has been around non stop for 40 years, under multiple names. My dad sold these as “Squirmles” back in the day, to the best of my knowledge this was the brand everybody ripped off: You can see a display box […]
Oh I’m positive I had a bunch of these and certainly don’t remember the name or the delicious box art.
Another cool Rack Toy for Battle of the Planets ( Gatchaman) that we never got in North America. Although this toy wouldn’t have made much sense to us, as most of the scenes of Jason (Condor Joe in Japan) stabbing goons with his steel quill feathers were by and large cut from the show. But […]
Just unearthed this sell sheet for GLJ toy’s Godzilla bendy from the 1970s, there is nothing I don’t like about this toy but the biggest thing is the amazing effort they put into this card art. The connection to the Marvel Comic with the logo, really doesn’t hurt does it?
It’s been a while since I’ve found a Rack Toy that excites me (that sounds weird) but this week I totally have. These toys come from Remco/AHI and are as I can figure, the last line of these kind of licensed affairs that AHI was so known for in the 70s and 80s. Mighty Crusaders […]
This one is new to me, even when I saw it I assumed it was an 80s or 90s piece and the seller had made a mistake but nope, this is 1978 Robin Rack Toy by Jotastar. The boy wonder can’t get enough toy love as far as I’m concerned.
