It took me by complete surprise this week that it has been nine years to this day that I decided to start this blog. Many thanks to my then infant daughter for taking a long nap on April 26, 2006 (she doesn’t take so many these days) and giving me the time to begin […]
I kind of got giddy finding this ammo pack for the Star Trek tracer gun. I didn’t even notice that there is no mention of Trek on the package. These guns showed up at Canadian retail until the mid 80s, I wish i had kept one…. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition […]
You ahd me at Tarzan but you sealed the deal with “rubber bugs”. Visit our store for copies of Rack Toys, Mantooth dolls and more!
Occasionally, I find things in here that I have no recollection of buying. Although with my preoccupation with all things Superheroes and school supplies, it’s not a shock that I own this. Hulk went from a b lister to chairman of the freaking board in the late 70s. Visit our store for copies of […]
I’ve featured the AHI Bagatelle’s before but this appears to be the more “deluxe” version. I ran into one of these on the weekend and it took every fiber of my being to resist it. More Star Trek Rack Toys

Many of these images were specifically drawn by Mego and didn’t appear on other company products, while […]

This year was no exception with licenses like the DC and Marvel comics Superheroes, Barbie, Fat Albert, Flash Gordon, Dick Tracy, Mighty Mouse and the ever present Popeye, Larami had something for any kid to […]
I found this little guy at a flea market recently, I’d never actually seen one in real life and was surprised at how small it is. These were made by Durham, who also produced a Superman. I can’t figure out why Marvel is credited, as they didn’t make a Spider-Man. More on Durham soon. Get […]
Another photo submission from Manuel, these cool Land of the Lost Moon Spinners/ Even though the toys have no relation to the show, I’d have been a sucker for these due to the cards heavy “Sleestak factor”. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. […]
We wouldn’t be much of a 70s retro website without a discussion of Sid and Marty Krofft would we? I think we’d have to turn in our “Gen X” badges. Episode 27 takes from the days of HR Puf N Stuf but sadly gets cut short at “Pink Lady and Jeff” due to Jason became […]
