Another fabulous voyage into the world of Rack Toys with the 1979 Azrak Hamway International catalog. Gone are the cool Universal Monster and Planet of the Apes toys of a few years eariler but AHI has continued to expand on it’s comic book offerings mostly inspired by the Incredible Hulk and Fantastic Four television series.All […]
Please bear with me, for this entry I’ll be going a little, as they say in radio, “local”. Growing up in 70’s Ontario, most summer vacations were spent up north camping or in a rented cottage. Along the way, we’d usually stop in a small town which usually had a “Stedman’s” department store. Stedman’s was […]
After their runaway success with the Star Trek line of toys, it shouldn’t come as a shock that AHI snapped up the rights to this then new series Space:1999. “Sci Fi mania” was sweeping America thanks to the reruns of Star Trek playing in syndication across America and Space:1999 promised to be even a bigger […]
With the recent addition of Star Trek and Planet of the Apes and Batman galleries to the Azrak Hamway section of the site, it was important to get this guy involved. Next to Batman, Spider-Man was AHI’s most popular characters and he recieved an incredible amount of merchandise. Which is weird considering that Peter Parker […]
With the recent addition of Star Trek and Planet of the Apes galleries to the Azrak Hamway section of the site, you had to know this would be coming. If there is one character that AHI did the most with, it would be the caped crusader, thanks to my pal Bill Frost I’ve got some […]
More additions to the Azrak Hamway toy galleriesthis time it’s all about the Planet of the Apes merchandise made by AHI. Thanks to Bill Frost for the great pictures! Sky Diving, rifle touting Galen sure didn’t make oodles of sense but it just didn’t matter when you were five. These super deformed Wind Up “Little […]
I got a lot of great feedback on the recent Azrak Hamway toy galleriesIncluding a ton of submissions from friends, so much so that I’ll be spinning off some of the material into additional galleries. Today, I thought I’d focus on some of the AHI Star Trek stuff my pal Bill sent me. These Phaser […]
Not one but two new sections added to PlaidStallions.com today, both devoted to that king of Rack Toys, Azrak Hamway International or as they’re often known AHI. First we have the 1976 AHI catalog, featuring an unbelievable amount of licensed toys from Star Trek Waterpistols to Parachuting Shazam, even Dr. Zaius on a chopper, AHI […]
Logical Toy: Planet of the Apes Remote Control Horse, apes all rode horses and this makes perfect sense. Nonsense Toy: Planet of the Apes Zoom Cycle, the Ape civilization never had anything motorized and this looks an awful lot like a repackaged Batman toy. Please don’t send me comments about the Animated show having cars, […]
More Rack Toys today, I’m really digging these die cast Star Aliens figures by Larami. They seem to be rocking that whole Shogun Warriors/Micronauts vibe. My pal MegoSteve sent me a picture of his wicked cool AHI Parachuting Superman figure and a Knock Off (which probably also produced by AHI) Big Fun: Jon has created […]
