Buck Rogers Giant Water Squirter

My friend Corey LeChat sent me this incredible find, a Buck Rogers water gun by Barton (makers of the Green Avenger and other classic 1970s water weaponry) and I wasn't even aware this existed!

 I expect to see Spider-Man and Cap, bonus points for Sgt Fury despite it being a German pistol but Kid Colt Outlaw? That has to be one of his only pieces of merchandise ever. I don't remember him packing a Saturday night special but whatevs...

Squirt gun fever

While generic, I find the art work on these water pistols completely captivating. A lot of effort went into their look and Pop Art is completely missing from our current Rack Toy experience.

I got a lot of great feedback on the recent Azrak Hamway toy galleries
Including a ton of submissions from friends, so much so that I'll be spinning off some of the material into additional galleries. Today, I thought I'd focus on some of the AHI Star Trek stuff my pal Bill sent me.

These Phaser water guns just rocked, they were too small but so was your hand back in the day.

Mr Spock was a huge sky diver, you didn't know that?

As was Captain Kirk apparently, I don't think I've seen a Kirk Parachuter since I was a kid.

This saucer gun is another cool way to get a Phaser toy onto shelves, AHI really knew that kids loved Sci Fi hardware...

Soaring enterprise, I think the thing I love the most about these products is not one thing has the same package, you won't find that today.

Squirt me!

This funky 1977 Water Pistol Catalog from Barton really surprised me, I couldn't believe how many of these I had.

The Green Avenger was not only something I had but I later realised my Dad sold them!

"Purple Pocket Pumper" is the greatest and creepiest toy name ever. Is that Alex from Clockwork Orange on the packaging?
