1976 Spider-Man and Captain America Ricochet Racers Comic Ad

This 1976 ad for Hasbro’s Ricochet Racers toy is all set to launch many of us into a frantic search on eBay for these strange toys. The Ricochet Racers was an unusual blend of toy cars and toy guns, combining the two into a wicked contraption in which kids used the gun to fire cars across the floor. Seriously. And check out the panel in this comic advertisement where soldiers are pulling on a rope to fire the giant Ricochet Racers guns. Talk about making the story fit the product.

For more of the Ricochet Racers check out the 1976 Hasbro catalog at Plaid Stallions. Just don’t blame me when you find yourself on eBay looking at toys.
