I never saw these Marx Archie figures as a kid or else I’d have been all over them, I’ve always been a big fan. These are prototypes of the actual figures as some of the head sculpts are off and they definitely didn’t have articulated bodies like that, the actuall product has that lame Sunshine […]
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 […]
Some more vintage photos from Wes Booth, this one is rather timely, it’s Wes opening up a Sam Cobra from the Marx Johnny west line. You’ll also notice a Superfriends Colouring Book that we reviewed here at the bottom right. Not only did Wes get a Best of the West Horse but I see the […]
Like G.I. Joe, Johnny West was one of the few hold over action figure lines from the 1960’s. This durable (hell, indestructable) cowboy figure line was looking a little strange on a shelf now populated by superheroes, aliens and talking apes but he managed to kick around for at least one more year. The line […]
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. Next to Batman, Spider-Man was AHI’s most popular characters and he recieved an incredible amount of merchandise. Which is weird considering that Peter Parker […]
With the recent addition of Star Trek and Planet of the Apes galleries to the Azrak Hamway section of the site, you had to know this would be coming. If there is one character that AHI did the most with, it would be the caped crusader, thanks to my pal Bill Frost I’ve got some […]
This ad for Towers (A Canadian chain of department stores) from December 15, 1980 has some pretty swell deals going for it. Highlights include Mego 12″ Superheroes for $4.95 each, Remco Utility Belts for $3.22 and the Hoth Ice Planet set for $10.50. This didn’t help me much as a kid, we lived far away […]
A bravura addition to the site today, it’s the Ideal Toys Evel Knievel giveaway comic in it’s entirety. Even if it didn’t have the Marvel Comic Logo on it, the art style would give it away. Like many promotional comics, it manages to crowbar in every Evel Knievel toy while telling some sort of story.“The […]
Finally a bop bag that makes sense, I never understood trying to punch out the Hulk or Mr. Spock (what the hell did he ever do to anybody?) but I totally get wanting to hit a Jawa. They seems to be kind of annoying in the Star Wars universe, they dicker, sell shoddy merchandise, have […]
More additions to the Azrak Hamway toy galleriesthis time it’s all about the Planet of the Apes merchandise made by AHI. Thanks to Bill Frost for the great pictures! Sky Diving, rifle touting Galen sure didn’t make oodles of sense but it just didn’t matter when you were five. These super deformed Wind Up “Little […]
