      Cool! From that list, the only one I ever had was the Space Master die-cast ship... (although I certainly remember seeing several of the other items on the racks as a kid).
      PUNY HUMANS!

          Great list! Covers everything from the great, to the absurd, to the utterly ridiculous.

          Of the Rack Toys I have owned in my lifetime, I would have to say some of my favorites were the Looney Tunes erasers/figures made by Diener Industries Inc. I bought set upon set of these at Eastside Pharmacy up the street from me. I played with them like action figures!



          Any of the AHI Super Hero parachutists would have to top my list as well. Of the ones I owned, probably Captain America, because I didn't have a Mego Pocket Super Heroes figure of him.

              The only rack toys I recall having were parachutists and a few Mobile Action Command knock-offs.

              This is a fun list with a few gems. Looking forward to the reissued volume.

                  I had the bendy Godzilla, he stepped on a few little plastic toy tanks and even fought my bendy Kong, although I don’t remember being able to bend him into thousands of different positions, maybe about three.

                      Well I probably own less than 5 rack toys. But my favorite was the Space Warriors the card art reminded me of the 1970's sci-fi paperback novels that were pure escapism for nerds like me. I also dig the Tarzan fleetwood set.

                          As much as I loved any parachute toy, my favorite rack toy was easily the Funstuff Spidey Web Shooter. I loved it so much I bought 4 of them. A new one each time the one I had quickly broke.

                              That Godzilla bendy is adorbs. Loved that as a kid.
                              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
