Alan M was a fool
A life long Josie and the Pussycats fan, one of my earliest crushes was that of Alexandria Cabot, white streaked hair and bitchy attitudes have always enchanted me.
Creepy! Gruesome! Awesome.
PS reader Robb sent in these awesome pictures from his collection to add to the AHI World Famous Supermonsters section of the site. These are the slightly smaller versions of the monster jigglers on their original cards which Robb has owned since childhood, absolutely stunning. Not many kids saved their toys, let alone rack toys […]
WW2 parachuting team up
Behold the very last parachuting AHI figure ever made (at least I think it is, although I’m still convinced there are Mighty Crusaders ones out there) Sgt. Rock, based on the DC comic series. AHI rolled out a lot of old favourites like the Batplane and the motorcycle toy for Sgt. Rock. Their other company […]
Fleetwood Toys for 1982
Fleetwood Toys was a Rack Toy manufacturer famous for nabbing the hottest licenses from TV and pop culture. For their 1982 catalog, CHiPS was the big in demand item for them as well as a new series “The Fall Guy”, many of the older staples such as Marvel Comic heroes, The Lone Ranger and cartoon favourites […]
Wacky Trucks
Fleetwood Toys introduced the “Wacky Truck” in 1982, combining the Wacky Pack to a toy? Perfection! My only problem with it is I don’t own one.
Even more Monster Love at Plaid Stallions
In my quest to improve the site I actually updated two galleries so much that I thought it deserved it’s own Friday update, both relate to my personal obsession with cataloging 70s Monster Toys. Firstly, I’ve finally expanded the Azrak Hamway Monsters section of the site and given everything galleries including other stuff like the Jigglers, windups, […]
The man of steel is incredibly lazy
I picked up this weird variation of the AHI Superman parachute figure from Italy, I guess they originally came bagged but for some reason these weird cards were also used, seems like false advertising as I wouldn’t know where to put my lips on this thing. BTW it’s fully licensed, it just looks like it […]
Cheapo goodness from the 25th Century
“Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” is a joy for me, I like the series and it was a complete merchandising whore (unlike most 70s sci fi shows I love). As a bonus, much of said merchandise can be found cheaply on the secondary market. Take this new inductee into the Fleetwood Toys gallery it’s not only […]
Bat Plane Memories
New to the AHI Batman Rack Toys Gallery is this fun little plane which in 1976, caused my grandmother much duress. As a kid, I was often baby sat by her on Saturdays while she worked in her store, this usually meant a trip to Woolco and a cheap “shut up toy” of this ilk. Upon buying this very toy, I […]
Batman and Joker race to the death
Time to take an indepth look at one of the more premium products made by Azrak Hamway, this time it’s the Batman Road Race set. Normally, AHI stuck to low cost rack toys and released the higer priced items through their Remco brand but occasionally they’d do a higher price point item like this road race […]
