1981 Azrak Hamway International Catalog

Azrak hamway International was one of the biggest Rack Toy companies in the world, with a mulititude of licensed products. They were also the parent company for Remco in the 1970's, while AHI provided lower priced toys for places such as dimestores, catalogs and gift shops, Remco would work on the higher dollar items for department stores and christmas catalogs. This relationship would last well into the eighties.

1981 seemed to be a year of retraction for AHI, not many new items were added, although the majority were again Superhero based and frankly, a little weird. The Universal Monsters appeared again after a long absence, the action figure side being now handled by Remco. In two more years, AHI would fold completely into Remco. This section would not have been possible without the help of Mike Jimenez.

Azrak Hamway is featured in large part in our upcoming book "Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings" coming December 2012. For more information please click here.
