This is a neat little Rack Toy oddity I found last month, it’s a variant on the Fleetwood SGT Fury armored attack set that was issued in the US. I have no idea who “W” is but I assume this is a foreign release, similar card but different toys, that is the joy of the […]
I never ran into these Chemtoy Fat Albert figures as a kid but if I had, they would have so been mine. I’m not sure why there isn’t a Dumb Donald figure staring back at while I type this, what’s wrong with me? Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book […]
This is one of the earliest pieces of Bat merchandise that AHI ever made. One of the more interesting things about the company is you get to watch them go from creating original, crazy artwork for each toy to the less dynamic “style guide” approach of the early 1980s. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is […]
One of the things I’ve noticed about Rack Toys is that good concepts don’t die. This Finger Faces ad is 40 years old but I can still find them at my local dollar store for exactly the same price. I can’t say that about coffee or Buicks sadly… Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a […]
This piece may be my favourite bit of Ultra-man merchandise ever, this particular rack toy doesn’t come from Japan but Peru, where I guess Ultra Seven got played at one point. What’s amazing about this item is a) I’m not even sure it’s licensed, b) I’m surprised something this fragile survived and c) it’s so darn […]
I’d be tempted to call this late 70s piece by AHI silly but I’m positive that this scene happened at least once on the old Bill Bixby show….

I was recently gifted this, the kind person who found it thought i’d dig it. The gesture alone floored me but so did the toy. Popeye rack toys could fill football fields but the majority of them are nondescript items with little connection to the character, some of them laughable. Leave it to Fleetwood to go […]
I couldn’t afford to buy everything I saw at this past weekend’s Mego Meet festivities but I could photograph them. Above is a real beauty from Durham Industries, a company I need to talk about more. Even though a Spider-Man that gently strolls in a Barnaby Jones like manner is something no kid needs, who […]
This fun spread of toys comes from a company called Croner who distributed toys in Australia, they carried Azrak Hamway toys in Australia and APC puzzles. It’s hard not to smile when you see stuff like this, especially considering they have Batman and Spider-Man’s launchers reversed. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page […]
My memories of SWAT are limited to the theme song and playing with plastic rifles, were there parachutes on the show or is this just yet another repurposed rack toy? Check out our book “Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings” available at our online store right now!
