Toy-Ventures returns with a look at the 1975 Star Trek Captain Kirk Mix-N-Mold set. I will use all my middling skills to make this vintage hobby item; come see how I do! The one thing I am good at is making a mess.

Time to celebrate the fun Rack Toys made by Azrak-Hamway International based on “Star Trek”, sure they’re lower cost items but there isn’t any tell-tale “Label Slapping” going on, you can tell these are Star Trek items off the package!

The post Toy-Ventures: AHI Star Trek Toys appeared first on PS.

As one of the premiere rack toy manufacturers of the 1970s, Azrak Hamway International (most commonly referred to as AHI by collectors) were still going strong with low cost toys based on the hottest licenses from comic books, TV, and film.

Thanks to a stranglehold from Kenner, AHI offered no Star Wars product in 1978, however, Star Fleet filled that void nicely along with old favourites from Star Trek and Space:1999. The Superheroes were still going strong and AHI had jumped into the spy game by getting the James Bond license.
