There is so little Land of the Lost merchandise out there (specifically Sleestak related stuff) that I covet all the rack toys that were produced. The majority of them were from the Larami stable and repeated ad nauseum for any ol’ license but that’s ok because the card art kind of makes up for that […]
Underdog may have been my first exposure to Superheroes as a wee one, he definitely sparked a life long love of the genre. I’m not sure I would have felt that way had I seen Underdog shooting up a bowling alley. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the […]
I’m not sure what I like most about this piece, the fact that it’s clearly just a regular Doctor kit repackaged, that it never shows the Doctor character from Space:1999 or the wonderfully awesome, over the top image of Martian Landau on the card. Gotta go with Landau…. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a […]
Above is the Space Master 2002, my dad sold these around 1977-1978. I remembered everything about these fun toys, how they looked, that card art with the skimpy dressed lady, everything. Except the name. For years, I’ve tried everything but searching for “Spaceship” on ebay is well, a long day. I had kind of resolved […]
Amigos Del Terror (which translates into “Terror Friends”) is an Argentinian off shoot of the Imperial Monsters figures discussed earlier in the day. The main differences are that the figures are blow molded (meaning they’re hollow) and they dropped the Wolfman for the line. While I’m not fond of the Imperial Monsters, I’m gaga for […]
I have to admit that I’ve never warmed to the Imperial Monster figures, they came out when I was a teenager and I was spoiled by what came earlier. Since then, I’ve met several people who owed their adult monster love to these very figures, plus this display box is pretty swell, so I thought […]
So in my post two weeks ago about these wonderful items, I ended with “does anyone collect these?”. Enter Mike, who chimed in with “I do” and he proceded to share his killer collection with us. I had no idea that some of these, like the giant version pictured above, existed. The photos below are […]
I’ve always wanted one of these AHI squirt guns, but they’re so rare and desirable that I could never come close. The other thing that held me back was paying a beefy sum for a squirt gun. I don’t know why that should bother me but it did. Fortune smiled on me and I managed […]
I’m not a big dabbler in 80s toys but these cheap knock offs from a company called Sungold do intrigue me. They did the usual suspects (Frankenstein, Dracula, Mummy, Hunchback) with Freddy Kruger thrown in to keep it topical. The thing I liked about this Wolfman is it’s pretty obviously Lon Chaney and whats more, it’s […]
What better way to kick off a month of Halloween related updates than to showcase this amazing AHI toy rarity I discovered. It’s rack toy monster madness and it’s all after the jump! OK I apologize for anybody fooled by that (terrible) photoshop job, this is not a real vintage toy discovery of any kind. […]
