Friction fun from AHI

[RSS]

Some fun additions to the AHI Rack Toys section today and it's all about friction pull back motors combined with licensing (of course). Above is a "spin out" Spider Car, it's amazing just how many different vehicles our famous web slinger got.

This is the friction motorized Space:1999 moon car in Canadian packaging. It's amazing a show like Space:1999 got as much merchandising as it did seeing as the show was trying mostly to be moody and cerebreal. I'm happy about this mind you, I love Space:1999 junk..

I didn't know that Larry David was in Space 1999

Since they had the special web molding to the Spin-out car, I'm surprised they didn't make a Spidey head and torso in the driver's seat and left it empty instead.

Oh yeah, the best episode is where he goes to the planet of amazon women and his spacesuit keeps tenting up causing intergalactic war.

I'm working from home today and was going to put Captain Scarlet on in the background... but have gone for Curb your Enthusiasm instead.
Looking at those AHI toys today, its surprising that inexpensive toys like these were officially licensed. Nothing like these even remotely exists in the $2 shops today.
I still have an Ape Wagon with the cage, in fact, I had 2 of 'em. I remember snapping off the cage of one to free the astronaut captive.

I remember having a similar AHI Spider-Man car, but it seems that it had Spider-Man in it.
