Continuing my love for all thing Krofft, I have always been super fond of Dr. Shrinker. I probably like “Far Out Space Nuts” a l’il bit more but it doesn’t seem to have much merchandise so Shrinker it is… Harmony had the license to make rack toys from all the Krofft Super Show and seemed […]
As space is so limited around here (kind of like money) I tend to not buy a lot of Battle of the Planets stuff these days, unless it’s a) Cheap and b) features Zoltar or his Spectra goons. This Japanese card game checked both of those boxes, it’s got my favourite transgendered villain on the […]
Chemtoy was one of America’s premiere producer of lower cost novelties and Rack Toys during the 60s and 70s. Their offering for 1974 was a fun mix of generic staples like bubbles, paddle balls, toy guns that you can still find to this day. On the licensing side they had everything from Batman to the […]
I love Presto Magix and I recently appeared on the Super Mates podcast to extoll their virtue. One of the things I discussed was this Batman and Robin set, one of my favourites and the really weird variation. Above is the later released version and features some beautiful stock art of Batman and Robin. And this […]
Fleetwood toys was one of the biggest and most prolific manufacturers of Rack Toys during the 1970s and 80s. In 1977, they were truly on top of their game as evidenced by the massive amount of licenses they had this year including the Marvel Comics Superheroes, Welcome Back Kotter, Starsky and Hutch, The Rookies, SWAT, Tarzan, the […]
Larami did these SuperHero skates for years and as weird as they are, they must have sold. Like every toyline from the mid seventies, the Hulk was very quickly added to the mix once his TV show aired. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid […]
“OK, so instead of a skeleton grabbing the coins and dragging it back to it’s coffin, we have a creepy two headed Juan Epstein dragging it back to a box? Brilliant! Get those into production!”- A very drunk toy executive in 1975. More Fun from Fleewood Our new book Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings covers […]
I found this cool little ad for AHI in a toy publication, it’s kind of fun to see something like this with original artwork and not a single DC comics style guide image to be found. More AHI links at PlaidStallions.
There is nothing like the concerned face of Farrah Fawcett Majors to help you with your morning beauty routine. I want to add that when working on the book, I couldn’t find one of these flipping things, now I’m tripping over them…. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from […]
Spied this shopping on the weekend, one thing I’ve noticed about Larami toys is often the connection to the licensed product was instantly lost when you took the toy of it’s card. Not that a sticker makes it more official but you get what I’m saying. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition […]
