Super Scissors

Another one of those products where, once you detach them from the card, they have no real connection to the characters after. I do love the Batman card though, it looks like Robin is fed up with Batman’s need to run with them. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book […]

The Day the Scary Creatures Took Over the World

I wanted to save this until Halloween but I just can’t wait the 7 months to show this off. This is one of the greatest 70s Rack Toy displays I’ve ever seen, mostly because it looks like an amalgam of every single “movie for a Sunday afternoon” that scared the living crap out of me […]

Fonzie Vision

For those of you who ever wondered “was there a Happy Days cartoon where the gang travelled through time along with this dog Mr named Cool or was that just a weird dream brought on by too much chipotle?” Here is your terrifying answer…. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page […]

Space:1999 Stun Guns R Fun

  I think the Space:1999 stun gun is one of the most iconic Sci-Fi weapons ever created. As a kid, I used a Staple gun until I nabbed the AHI water gun pictured above, it’s the most screen accurate toy produced in the 1970s IMO. AHI had a year of Star Trek sales under their […]

Micro Lazer

Mego’s Micronauts is one of my favourite 70s toylines and it was so popular that it got licensed to other toy manufacturers for things like Halloween costumes, bedding and even rack toys. I’ve never owned a Microlazer but I wouldn’t kick it out of my collection for eating crackers, just sayin’…… Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed […]

End cap of cheap joy

I’m super tired tonight, so here is an awesome store display of Larami goodies circa 1981.  I vividly remember that guy on the gun box. He kinda looked like my third grade teacher.  Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us and […]

Hulk Smash and Ta-Daaaaah!

When you think of Marvel Superheroes, there is one word that comes to mind…magic tricks. Clever Nasta Toys was the only company to understand this and that’s why they’re the biggest toy company in the world today! Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. […]

Squirt gun fever

While generic, I find the art work on these water pistols completely captivating. A lot of effort went into their look and Pop Art is completely missing from our current Rack Toy experience. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us and […]

Roadstars:1999

Road stars were a fun little series of cheap diecast vehicles that used popular licenses like Spider-Man, Archie, Hogan’s Heroes (!) and Space:1999. There is a lot wrong with this card, in today’s world these would all have to be shipped back to the manufacturer or destroyed. First, Space:1999 isn’t a Hanna Barbera production, secondly, […]
