“Book Descriptions: Imagine a book filled with images of the colorful packaging hanging from your pharmacists or grocer’s shelves, designed to entice you while you sat in your parents' shopping cart.
Often terribly made, these strange playthings were low priced enough to wear down even the most frugal adult and were most likely forgotten or broken by the time you left the parking lot.
Rack Toys is a love letter to re-purposed illogically licensed toys that were not meant to be remembered.
144 pages of full color goodness, this non-fiction collection features literally hundreds of photos of toys from every decade and genre from the perfectly logical to the thoughtlessly odd, it is a love letter to an industry our parents called “junk”.
Rack Toys includes an introduction essay by Jason Lenzi (Bif Bang Pow! Toys, Geek Shall Inherit Podcast), along with seven chapters covering topics such as Superheroes, Saturday Morning Cartoons, Monsters, Science Fiction, TV and Movie characters, Generic Joy and Knock Offs.” DRIVE
