I’m not 100% sure as to why I like the Remco Sgt Rock line so much, never had any as a kid, never really wanted them, not sure I’ve read a SGT Rock comic that didn’t feature Batman in it. My money is on the gorgeous Joe Kubert art that AHI/REMCO used throughout the line. […]
Any reader of this blog can ascertain two things a) I like monsters and b) I’m fond of 3 3/4″ action figures. So it shouldn’t come as a big shock that when Funko made it’s announcement they were going to conquer the world with Kenner style figures, I was pretty excited. I’ll admit the majority […]
It never phased me that Spider-Man never seemed to have bus fare in the comics or TV but an amazing fleet of vehicles on the toy shelves. I didn’t question toy makers logic as a kid, that’s the kind of sass that could get you on the naughty list…. .
I think the most interesting thing about Remco’s I Dream of Jeannie line isn’t that it was probably a good idea, it was that it was released years after both the original and animated series were long gone from the air waves. Jeannie’s sales were largely due to the power of syndication just like Mego […]
Ever since I first stumbled on this newspaper ad, I’ve been intrigued by this clever little set. I’d always wanted to track one down but sadly my “track that down” list is vast and I may have focus issues so it never happened. Fortunately for me, my good pal and podcast partner Jason has more […]
Cool catalog feature today, perhaps the earliest example from the second life of Remco Toys, a company that went under in 1972 but was reborn by Azrak Hamway International for what would be a long and fruitful life creating some very memorable toys. This document shows the company in it’s infancy, show casing such licenses […]
While I’m too young to remember Remco’s dabble with Star Trek merchandise, I will admit that these lazy,repurposed toys kind of fascinate me. The toys themselves were from a Remco line called “Hamilton Invaders” which was a (very clever) line of Army Men VS Giant insects. When they nabbed the Trek license, they just slapped […]
This ad piece for Licensing Corporation of America, really brings me joy. This photo meant to highlight how good an idea licensing the DC comics heroes is full of 70s eye candy from Mego, Remco and AHI. It’s also the least believable toy store set ever, that’s clearly the LCA showroom with some dude from […]
This is another personal favourite and should come as no surprise, I like monsters. This page with personal favourites the Remco Monsters and my personal “White Whale” Gre-Gory brings a tear to me eye… Want more Remco toys in your diet? Click the Linkage below: .
Toys R Us is one of the last toy chains we have left and the only one featured on this site that is actually still around. This flyer from December 1981 is a time capsule of what we could have expected under the tree, Barbies, Glamour gals, Atari games, Remco Monsters and Mego Superheroes. It’ll […]
