Our Ways Studios Marvel Comics Stickers (sponsored link) ––

These things will always stop me in my tracks with their wonderful power. Even though I never could finish a Conan comic, my Marvel Universe includes him. I’m a product of my time.

Mummy Flashlight (sponsored link) —

This appears to be a little out of my collecting date range but that Mummy is so reminiscent of later Hammer stuff, it strikes a nerve.

Wonder Woman Roller Skates (sponsored link) —

When I did my Fan Expo panels about weird Superhero merchandise with my pal Sam Noir, I would always get a big laugh out of these and sadly, more Wonder Woman merchandise. In hindsight, honestly, nobody looked good in these Larami Rollerskates, and Wonder Woman isn’t even the worst one.

Imperial Toys Congo Gorilla (sponsored link) —

I love this toy but normally these were sold tagged and not carded, so I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it before like this.

Aviva Star Trek The Motion Picture Water Pistol (sponsored link) —

A friend of mine brought me a couple of these from a vacation in the 80s, yes we still talk. Next to the Mego line this is one of my favourite pieces from the motion picture, it’s crazy faithful for a cheap toy. I just wish they’d have used them more in the movie!

Larami was well known for some of my favourite Rack Toy output in the 1970s and 80s. However, the one thing that I am mildly obsessed with for their oddity is the so-called “Super Heroes Skates.” They’re cheap roller skates shaped like Super Heroes or are they Super Heroes shaped like Roller Skates? They all look chubby and as if they’re being held against their will. Wonder Woman especially looks non-plussed. Sure you can make these but did anyone ask why? 

The Super Heroes Skates must have sold well as Larami carried them for about 3 years.

As a kid, I tried a pair of cheap skates like this and got my knee skinned after meeting my first pebble. I still look at these things and feel that.
