Sleestak Jiggler

Pretty overjoyed with today’s Rack Toy showing, something I’ve been after for years. The Ben Cooper Sleestak jiggler, the closest thing we ever got to a Land of the Lost action figure and honestly, I’m not sure how many of us ever knew this thing existed? This excerpt from the ’76 Ben Cooper catalog showcases […]

Dr Shrinker!

This toy would have grabbed my childhood money quicker than a vacuum although i would have been pretty bummed it wasn’t an actual shrink ray (I wasn’t class valedictorian) . It’s just one in a series of somewhat series relevant rack toys from Harmony who seemed to have the license for Krofft Supershow, here is the magnifying […]

Podstallions 14: Filmation Part One

We’ve probably mentioned Filmation in every one of our shows (it’s our anniversary BTW, what did you get us?) so it’s no surprise that Jason and myself are huge fans of the legendary animation company. Episode one explore our earliest memories of Filmation and tries to relay the Saturday morning experience, look for a longer […]

Land of the Lost Cosmic Signal

There is so little Land of the Lost merchandise out there (specifically Sleestak related stuff) that I covet all the rack toys that were produced. The majority of them were from the Larami stable and repeated ad nauseum for any ol’ license but that’s ok because the card art kind of makes up for that […]

Hey. Hey.Hey Recycling is OK

Remember that awesome Dick Tracy Wrist TV from 1975 a few weeks ago? Here it is again in a somewhat less logical form from 1982. I guess you could imagine that Dick threw out his old wrist TV and the Cosby kids found in the junkyard? I dunno it’s a bit like dissecting gossamer really…. […]

Land of the Lost what?

Behold the Land of the Lost Moonbase Rocket, brought to you by people who never watched a single second of the show. It’s stuff like this that just makes me oddly happy. Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is a limited edition 144 page book from the creator of Plaid Stallions. Order from us and get […]

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 […]

Another Super 7 score

Readers of this fine blog and my long suffering friends may know of my life long obsession with Filmation’s “Tarzan and the Super 7” TV series and my quest to find any merchandise surrounding it. I’m elated to post my latest haul, the tool set a completely nonsensical item from Imperial Toy that features team […]

1974 Centsable Halloween Catalog

  Centsable, the people behind Socker Boppers also did a good business in Halloween costumes, who knew? This 1974 catalog shows that while they did in fact have several decent licenses like the Hanna Barbera clan , they were not above creating some of the ballsiest knock offs of the decade nor did the seem […]
