I have the main panel and side (or is it front?) panel of the Prehistoric Monsters box! I couldn't save the whole box, but didn't want to throw away the cool dinosaur artwork, so I cut it apart & saved those panels. (As a kid, I apparently couldn't figure out how to carefully break down the box & flatten it. On the other hand, as a kid I never thought that boxes would become collector's items!) Craig R

All these toys now appear as free gifts on magazine's aimed at 3-9 year olds on British newspaper shops
ReplyDeleteI always eagerly bought those foam glider planes.They usually broke after about 5 flights.
ReplyDeleteThe comment about those appearing on kids comics in the UK now is absolutely spot on!
ReplyDeleteI collect the Doctor Who versions of those magazine Rack Toys, they're wonderful. I wish I still had my Gnasher puppet from the Beano
ReplyDeleteIts the shitty toy spinner rack in the drug store from when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really cool but... what the heck are all those things? For example, the Jetsons themed... gun? Hairdryer?
ReplyDeleteIt appears to be a bubble-blowing gun.I have squinted at just about every item on this rack,and have figured out what most of it is.Try it,its fun.
ReplyDeleteSeems they still make the foam plastic gliders. I picked up a few in the massive Gay Dolphin* gift shop in Myrtle Beach, SC, USA a few years ago.
ReplyDelete*the shop opened back in the '40s when the name was a synonym for 'Happy Dolphin'...
