Captain America never gets enough toy love IMO. These RC cars were an uncharacteristicly higher price point item from AHI and while the Spider-Man car was around for a couple of years, I can only find evidence of Cap being offered in 1980 thus far. I’ve never seen a boxed Captain America Car either.
David T sent in this great shot of him and the Six Flags Spider-man, which is the best Spidey I’ve ever seen I might add. Love the cape, I personally used an orange towel, it’s a rag now but I can’t bring myself to throw it away….. Send us your Mall Appearance photos!
Spider-Man never refused a licensing deal in his life…
Remco’s name was purchased in 1974 by Azrak Hamway, a successful manufacturer of rack toys. AHI used the Remco brand to sell a more upscale toy but one that still utilized the many licenses integral to their core business. 1977 saw the introduction of Mickey Mouse to the fold and more Superhero (especially Batman) related […]
Just a few random things I’ve forgotten to show off before hand. Firstly, I am elated to announce the DVD release of the Monster Squad television series this June 23rd. Not to be confused with the 1980s movie of the same name, this Monster Squad was a Saturday morning show reminscent of the Adam West […]
The stuff dreams are made of, a spinner packed to the gills full of rack toys by Henry Gordy inc. Imagine finding this in some long forgotten hardware store somehere. I’d fill my car with Superman Ball Blasters… I don’t get the Hulk handcuffs though unless he was kinda kinky.
JD sent in this great vintage shot of a Spider-Man appearance in Cleveland 1978 although he can’t quite remember the store it looks like Spider-Man is in the Office Supplies section. If that didn’t rock enough, JD also submitted this uber cool shot of what the “Free Spider-Man Button” looked like from last week’s ad. […]
You don’t see a great deal of AHI stuff in department store catalogs but the Zoom cycles were a little higher price point and combined superheroes with Evel Knievel, so it’s a no brainer. This page is from the 1976 Azrak Hamway Catalog and shows that Spider-Man, Batman and Doctor Zaius were in the coolest […]
While I’ve seen Underoos in catalogs for years, it’s usually just showing the usual Batman and Spider-Man but here’s a rare occasion when they feature one of my favourites Aquaman and not only that but they’re snubbing the caped crusader! It’s crazy hard to find Aquaman merchandise in catalogs, as Rob from the Aquaman Shrine […]
Chris Pitzer sent in this great shot of him and his younger brother meeting Spider-Man at the Valley Mall in Hagerstown, Md circa 1979. I love the “webbing” in the background. Do you have a vintage Mall Appearance shot? Send it on down! Check out the Mall Appearance Gallery for more vintage spandex goodness…
