Galactica Cruiser

These little ships knocked around under a different bunch of names before Galactic. My dad sold them with a weird generic sci fi card that I’m going insane trying to find. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us and get three […]

Hang gliding with the Hulk

As ridiculous as the concept of these toys are, I have to admit that I think the little Hulk and Spidey figures they come with are awesome. You should buy these.

Dick Tracy Wrist TV

Larami pretty much slapped Dick Tracy’s face on anything cop related in 1976 but also went the extra mile and make a toy of one of his most famous crime busting tools. Although I’ve got to say the timing seems a little off, being a kid at the time my sole experience with the character […]

Jiggler Supreme

In 1979 Ben Cooper released a wave of jigglers that comprised of The Thing, Red Skull, Spider-Man and Dr. Strange. They also did corresponding Halloween costumes that year. They were misleading advertised as ersatz action figures in a Heroes World ad, so I really wanted to track them down as an adult. Dr Strange never […]

Ghost Riders?

I think it’s safe to say that the Fleetwood Toys Ghost Rider figure with removable Johnny Blaze head is one of the more iconic and well known bits of 70s Superhero merchandise. This is probably thanks to the Heroes World ad that ran in comics, making the toy out to be a lot cooler than […]

Yep, this happened

If you’re like me, you wake up most mornings wondering “Did i dream a show about a hyper intelligent monkey that works in Washington or was that a thing?”  Well, my answer comes in the form of this brilliant, meaningless rack toy from the good people at Ja-Ru. You see, there are no online tribute […]

Fly Avengers, Fly!

Ahhh the Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, Vision and Ca…Human Torch? This one kind of confuses me, Fleetwood toys makes Avengers toys, even carefully using the logo and adding the Vision, a character who saw little to no merchandise but pass on the always popular Captain America for Johnny Storm, who isn’t an Avenger? I’m inclined […]

Freedom Force Binoculars

Aw yeah, another stellar find in my quest to find any merchandise from the Filmation “Tarzan and the Super 7” series. This time it’s binoculars that I can honestly say were never mentioned or used on the show in any way. Such is the beauty of Rack Toys… This was another situation where the seller […]

A place for your cubits

For those of you who’ve stayed up long nights wondering what a case of Larami Battlestar Galactica wallets looked like, rest easy my friends. Also, seek help, that’s not a good sign. Say what you will about the remake series but they didn’t get cheap dollar store wallets with a girl Starbuck did they? Actually, […]
