Wow! I never knew I owned so many rack toys as a kid. Alot of fond memories there. I loved those jiggler monsters, and many others. I can't wait to see the finished product.
Hey, I have a couple of those thingies.
I've always wondered what exactly they were, I've had them since I was a kid.
Thank you for solving that mystery!
My mom was never really one for giving in to the begging for rack toys. Heck, she wouldn't even give me nickels for the gum machine prizes. But on a couple of occasions I was able to con her into getting:
1) A Ping Pong ball blaster: You know the one I mean. Mine was blue and could load 4 ping pong balls. When it was empty, it kinda looked like a ray gun.
2) A different kind of Ping Pong gun; this one was green and 2 sided. Each side a little man w/ a long arm holding a paddle, and a trigger. The trigger worked the arm holding the paddle. In the middle was a plastic loop that held a small ping pong ball attached to a plastic stick. So basically, it was a portable ping pong game. For a cheap rack toy, this thing was actually loads of fun. Good for car trips and such. I've never been able to find it since. I got it in '77 or '78, when being dragged along w/ my folks running errands. Anyone ever have this?

So Rack Toys is now at the printer's, after a weekend of working on it (including spending almost 3 hours on the phone with my Editor Rob Chatlin yesterday) I was able to upload the book to my overseas contact.
Updates will come via the Rack Toys Facebook Page. In the meantime, I need to find something to do while I wait.

And a reminder for the slower among us (I'm referring to me)- can we order now? How?
When I know that the boat has departed the plant, I will start preorders a couple of weeks before it's due to arrive. Trying to figure out a way to do that.
