Dinky Space
This ad is from 1978, I find it funny that kids were playing with ships from Gerry Anderson’s (IMO amazing) UFO series a good seven years after it was cancelled. Those Eagles were also more fun than should be humanly allowed.
1977 Azrak Hamway (AHI) Catalog
Another look into the wonderful world of Rack toys and one of it’s shining stars Azrak Hamway, who in the 1970s were the kings of fun, inexpensive licensed toys. 1977 was a pretty big year for Azrak Hamway Inc and they had all the hottest licenses including the superheroes from the house of both DC […]
Eagle One by Dinky
Besides having a name that is instantly hilarious to young boys, Dinky also made diecast toys covered in all kinds of awesome. Take for example the Eagle One from Space:1999, this was diecast at it’s most brilliant and it was happily just one of the many things they turned out from the Gerry Anderson Stable. […]
Space:1999 Day!
Seeing as today is the ten year anniversary of the supposed date that the moon blew out of orbit in Gerry Anderson’s 1975 television series “Space:1999” I thought it would be fun to look at some of the cool merchandise that came out during it’s two year run. Above is the trading card I made […]
Space:1999 Trading Card
Trading Card #26 is Palitoy Space:1999, I did this card for the 2009 Megomeet convention back in June because timing didn’t allow a Megomuseum card for the event (as the card quality shows, it takes me a lot less time to do these). This UK exclusive toyline kind of changed my life, in that it […]
More Scenes from Toy Fair 1975
This is the Hasbro booth for 1975, that’s the suer awesome G.I Joe Skyhawk zooming over these gentleman’s heads. From left to right they are Jim Camilleri, Jack Kipperman and Merril Hassenfeld, the man who put the H in Hasbro. Neat! 1976 Hasbro G.I. Joe Catalog B. Goldberg and J. Romain are off the see […]
More Parachuting Superheroes and Apes
My pal Bill sent these images on a few weeks ago and I forgot all about them, here is a parachuting Planet of the Apes Doctor Zaius and notice he’s packing heat. Zaius is dropping and this time it’s personal…. Parachuting Robin from the Batman series of toys is logical but damn, he’s a tough […]
The Future is Fantastic!
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 […]
Pulsar, Sweathogs, Space:1999 and Shogun Warriors
The feature this friday is the boys action figure lines in the 1977 Mattel Catalog. It would be a great year for the toy giant, with the release of homegrown organic Superhero Pulsar and the imported Shogun Warriors line. Mattel also continued with TV licensing including the Sweathogs of Welcome Back Kotter and a second […]
New Rack Toys From Azrak Hamway
Some nice new additions to our Gallery of Rack Toys today, the concentration being on Azarak Hamway or AHI (which I find surprising how many folks call it “Ahheee”). Above is an amazing dual branded package for Star Trek/Space:1999 Jet Disks. You wouldn’t see stuff like this today. This is courtesy of Will Frost. Also […]
