Ahi had released the first Official Spidercopter back in 1974. Ahi continued to make these throughout the seventies, and revised the blister card design quite often. At first the graphic was altered very little with a blurb about the “New Launcher”, and the yellow background replacing the hot pink backing. The main difference between the [...]
Toy makers don’t give a hoot whether a comic character had a vehicle, or device in the actual storyline of the comics. Kids will pretty much want anything with Spider-man plastered on it, with the exception of broccoli, and horse hockey pucks. This toy is a bit more exciting than the previous choices. Remote control [...]
An AHI CSF Jr. Spider-man Copter, Spider-man fan, Blowpipe, Super top, and film cassette. Various items from the Azrak Hamway catalogs of the late seventies, and early eighties. If you have these please contact me, as I am paying top dollar for these.
In 1979 Ahi a.k.a. Azrak-Hamway International released another Spider-man vehicle. The Mystery Action Car was bump and go action with lights, sound, and “action”. The action was the motion was Spidey’s head looking back and forth while steering the wheel. Batteries not included. Ahi started to introduce redesigned packaging in 1979 on several different toy [...]
Ahi Spider-man & Hulk swim fins, and mask. Seriously, do you think these things would fit the Hulk’s feet, or head? Maybe the fins would occupy a couple of Hulk’s toes. Yep, Spidey, and Banner go a snorkelin’! Here it is True Believers brought to you by the wonderful folks at Azrak Hamway International!
This Ahi Spider-man Break Apart Car is one of the very last toys based on Spidey that the company released. It needed no batteries and worked on a rip cord. When the front bumper makes contact with a surface, the car breaks apart. Neatly boxed, and with new artwork. I’m not sure what happened to [...]
Below is the Ahi Spider-man Sky Diving Parachutist in its minty colorful package, and even unpunched. Speaking of the packaging, you will notice the missing spider design on Spidey’s chest. The illustrator was asleep at the wheel on that one. These particular toys made back in 1973 along with other pop icon versions such as [...]
Submitted for your approval is the 1974 Ahi Spiderman friction plane. It is quite possibly the rarest Ahi Spiderman item that exists besides the Ahi CSF Jr. Copter set. The toy company Ahi also known as Azrak Hamway International had all the superhero licenses during the seventies, and created many Spiderman vehicles. Check out the [...]
Stores were very different back in 1973 along with the merchandise. Back then you could easily see over each of the store aisles, as the top of the displays were only about chest height, where as now they go all the way to the ceiling. One distinct memory I have of K-mart is walking in [...]
Forward, reverse, and a realistic siren sound that was sure to drive your parents nuts. This Official Spider-man Cycle was originally purchased way back when from Toys r’ Us, but I distinctly remember getting mine from K-mart at that time. My cycle died out long ago, or maybe I am just blocking out the memory [...]
Not a pillow fight, but as the package claims “More fun than pillow fights” these inflatable gloves also show Iron Man on them. I would have thought that “the Thing” would have been a better spokesman for these “Super Klobbers” as he could better use his catch phrase “It’s Clobberin’ Time”. Ahi, however went with [...]
The following seventies toy from Ahi has nothing to do with that 1970′s craze called streaking, but one has to wonder why they called it that. I guess you could consider this toy the first remote controlled action figure. It had very limited movement as it would only move forwards, and backwards. Ahi also released [...]
Very early releases of the following two Spider-man toy friction cycles by Ahi. There were different packages during the seventies, and early eighties along with a different molded figure among some slight color changes. The orange friction cycle is by far the easiest of the two to find. Can you find the purple one? Good [...]
The early seventies saw an increase in motorcycle toys due possibly to Evel Knievel’s popularity at the time. Azrak-Hamway, better known as AHI had just acquired the license from Marvel to produce Spider-man toys. So some of the first toys off their factory lines were that of cycles. All different kinds of motorcycles including friction [...]
1977 high tech stuff here! The Ahi Spider-man Action Straw! Just attach 2 straws, and watch Spidey pedal to nowhere. Of course this could only make a child go cross-eyed, and give him a headache. The migraine caused by either sucking to hard, or staring down his nose to watch the amazing “action”. Hey, … [...]
