1976 Imperial Toys Catalog

[RSS]

Halloween is always the best time to talk about rack toys, specifically ones made by Imperial Toy Corporation, who had a year round selection of rubber bats, bugs and skeletons.

1976 also had the distinction of being the year that Imperial wisely got the
"Jaws" license and marketed a series of cool inflatable toys.

Awesome.

That Jaws page blows me away! The counter-box of squirters must have mythical status amongst Jaws collectors. It has a little bit of the Mego GWS thing going on too don't you think?

And Poopatroopers! Too many Poopatroopers is barely enough I say!

I never knew the name of this company, but I lovd their cheap little impulse toys.

I love poopatroopers. For some reason, i can never seem to find them on ebay. :(

I did see some small rubber bats and skeletons at Target in the Dollar section this year for Halloween. The bats were kind of retro, with an orange and black color. Two for a buck, not bad.

That skeleton with the bloody wash was kind of disturbingly cool!

Good stuff!

I had a bunch of those "Friendly Bendies" as a kid. Not to mention a bunch of tangled poopatroopers.

Man, I used to have one of those big rubber "Maneater" sharks. I loved that toy, wish I knew what happened to him.
