Fleetwood Toys for 1980

[RSS]

This week's catalog is from Fleetwood Toys, a Rack Toy manufacturer that focused entirely it seems on the hottest licenses from TV and pop culture.

in 1980, Fleetwood was concentrating on late seventies icons such as CHiPs, Buck Rogers and Vega$ but not forgetting such evergreen properties such as the Marvel Comics Superheroes and Mighty Mouse.

There's a lot of neat stuff I'd like to own in the 1980 Fleetwood Toys Catalog....

I love the Chips stuff

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I haven't heard of them before...do you see much of their stuff around these days?

[starsky]

i've been trying to find some of the starsky and hutch stuff.

I've always wanted that Ghost Rider but can't bring myself to lay down $125-$150 for it.

I was lucky enough to snag some Avengers toys from Fleetwood. I don't think I remember seeing ANY Avengers themed toys in the 70's. Their gliders you launch from a gun, each with a character on it. One is even done with The Vision.

Is Fleetwood still in business? I imagine the dollar store imported knock off stuff must have had a huge impact, stealing sales away from a place like this?

Of all the rack toy guys, the only one I know that's still in the game is Imperial.

AHI/Remco is still physically in business but they don't produce toys to my knowledge.

Man oh man, do I love the old rack toys. Every time you put up one of these catalog threads it gets me salivating (and the urge to start scouring Ebay for them!!!)

It's funny. Some of these toys are completely worthless out of the package because it's the "character graphics" that make them collectible. Vegas plus BJ and The Bear, that's hilarious!
