Safari Hunt
Remember kids, each Safari Hunt comes with a personalized angry letter from Dian Fossey!
Star Wars sale at Osco
Another newspaper line illustrated gem, this one from Osco. I never had the Star Destroyer Playset but recently discovered some collectors I know have this weird hate on for it. Was it a disappointing toy?
Squirtin’ Apes
A recent happy pick up for me is this Doctor Zauis squirt gun by AHI, I’ll probably never get a creature from the black lagoon but this is pretty swell. I hope at least one of these displays survived. Azrak Hamway Index on PlaidStallions/AzrakHamway.com Monster Gallery Batman Gallery Star Trek Gallery Planet of the Apes […]
Play Set Madness
Combining all these play sets into one would make for the greatest afternoon ever.
The Kenner Empire
It was around this time as a kid that I realized that I could never, ever “Collect Them All” when it came to Star Wars. Not that I had everything made leading up to this point but there was probably some child like naivete that I could catch up somehow. Fortunately for me, I was […]
Martin Landau: A Toy Tribute
I was kinda crushed to hear of the passing of Martin Landau yesterday besides being a fan of his work, there is also a true connection to him and this site. It was my admiration for merchandise based on Space:1999 that got me into toy collecting in the first place, so without Martin Landau toys, […]
Amsco Planet of the Apes Adventure Set

I was gifted this Planet of the Apes set a couple of years ago but never put it together, so in honour of Apes week, I sat on my office floor and did just that. You know […]
Unarmed Parachuting Apes!
Very happy to have finally tracked down this tough as nails variant in one of my favourite toy themes of all time, Parachutin’ Rack Toys. For some reason, Azrak Hamway made a running change to the their Planet of the Apes parachute figures. They came armed and unarmed, which is befuddling considering they probably only […]
Zayre Wars
I think this ad nicely captures the moment in time where my personal lust for all things Star Wars reached a pinnacle. As a kid I had all but two (never got a 12 inch Vader or R2) of the items pictured here. All of them got ruined not by neglect but by constant play.
A Salute to Canadian Toy Packaging
It’s not a closely guarded secret that I’m Canadian. So on the day of my country’s 150th birthday, it seems duly patriotic that i share my favourite toys in Canadian packaging. Due to having two official languages, we had different toy packages than the US and brother, it’s tough to find. Hunting these is my […]
