Another fabulous voyage into the world of Rack Toys with the 1979 Azrak Hamway International catalog.

Wow! Slumber bags are much nicer than those crappy sleeping bags they sell at Woolco. I feel all classy saying it that way.
With the recent addition of Star Trek and Planet of the Apes and Batman galleries to the Azrak Hamway section of the site, it was important to get this guy involved.
