Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

“Rack Toys” is finally on the rack!

Rack Toys by Brian Heiler

I’ve been waiting for this book for a long time, and just in time for Christmas, Brian Heiler (AKA Plaid Stallions) has unleashed his magnum opus upon the toy collecting world. “Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings” celebrates those cheap, unlicensed toys we loved as kids and snubbed once we grew old enough to know better.

“Even as kids we knew that the Incredible Hulk didn’t need a helicopter and that Dr Zauis from Planet of Apes had no business floating down on a parachute” explains Heiler “However, that didn’t stop us from having a fun afternoon with them, until they got stuck in a tree that is.”

This book receives the official Cool & Collected stamp of approval and should be added to any toy collector’s reference shelf. You can buy this book on Amazon or better yet, directly from the Rack Toys website where you will also receive some free promotional goodies.
