That is a fantastic interview, it brings back many fond AHI memories. My RC Hulk pickup truck is just a few feet away, I may need to throw some batteries in and take it for a spin over the holidays. Not a rack toy, I know, but it takes me back to Zaius parachutes, Cornelius squirt guns, and useless walkie talkies.

I love the Trek picture. I can't wait to read this book.

Great interview, it really whets my appetite for the book. I was familiar with that Batman squirt gun (who isn't!) but I don't recall seeing it's header card before, I love that art! And I hope that Spectreman "Bowling Pump" is in the book, wanna see that.

>One of the most bizarre items I found was a water pistol in the shape of Adam West as Batman.

A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!! That one kills me EVERY TIME I see it!

Lots of good stuff there.... but I HATE how that Hercules ring has been turing up in different articles lately.... mostly 'cos I kinda want one now. (There's an evil wizard down the street who needs sortin' out and the power of Hercules would be a big help.)

Great Interview that makes me want the book more then I did before.

I was already sold, but if I wasn't, I'd buy the book now, based on that interview. I think it's obvious that you don't have to be a toy expert to enjoy the book, just love pop culture.

Great interview. Clearly Brian knows his stuff, but more than that, you really get a sense of the love and fun that comes from these quirky little toys.

Really hoping this one is waiting for me under the tree.
