This weekend, I had a happy find, and I wasn’t even trying. I poked my head into a local flea market, where I’ve never found anything, and to my surprise, I found a toy vendor! While most of his wares weren’t what I collected, I spied this tucked in the back\u2014a carded wind-up sparking super monsters’ little walkers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"AHI<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These toys were originally sold by AHI<\/a> and were officially licensed, but they would have a long life post thanks to their factory known as SOMA, which would keep them in production for decades after.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My introduction to this series was in 1979, when I was in the third grade, and Canadian Tire imported this series into Canada. My mum, who knew I was a monster fan, took me down there, and we bought them all. They were the only Godzilla and Creature from the Black Lagoon toys I had as a kid, so they were especially memorable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"AHITracking this guy down on the original Canadian Tire card this weekend brought back fond childhood memories.<\/strong><\/p>\n
