Azrak Hamway International (AHI) Planet of the Apes Toys

Azrak Hamway Index

Famous for their rack toys Azrak Hamway is probably best known these days for scooping Mego on the Universal Monsters license (Mego VP Neil Kublan once cited that he recalled Universal wanted more money than Mego offered) and creating their own line of 8" Monsters that were more than obviously influenced by the look and design of the Mego World's Greatest Superheroes.

Wind up walking Galen MOC, AHI also made some killer Monster Wind Ups as well.(pic courtesy of Will Frost)

Widdle Wind Up Doctor Zauis is adorable! Note that his costume is blue, a lot of Apes merch had Zaius in that colour.

The apes wagon (with human captive) is friction powered and pretty hard to find in this condition. (courtesy of Will Frost)

An entire store display of AHI Planet of the Apes Water guns, it's like Galen is spitting in your mouth!

A carded Azrak Hamway Ape Pistol was possibly one of the rarest items on display.

AHI's Zaius on horseback is a classic piece of POTA merchandise.

Even though AHI was an official licensee for the Planet of the Apes, AHI also produced these "Action Apeman" which obviously were meant to pirate sales from the Mego Planet of the Apes toys, legal action followed and AHI ceased making them. (Photo of the Action Apes are courtesy of Mike Jimenez).

The Mego Museum Forum has a section devoted to toys like AHI where sellers can discuss, buy, sell and trade. It's the biggest message board for such things in the world and it's the offical message board for Plaid Stallions.
