I haven't had this much fun with a series of toys in a long time, and unlike so many of the things I collect, REMCO's Hamilton's Invaders were toys I had as a kid. After pulling them all out and photographing them, it hit upon me that making a story would be fun - so I did! Mind you, it's not high art, no technological wonder here folks, but a campy, fun way to put these toys to use.
Here's the story line I came up with:
Mysterious Mt. Rainier in Washington State is known for multiple missing persons, Bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings and abductions, and supposed interdimensional portals. Legend has it that a race of very large bugs, also terrorize the region. To the First Nation peoples, the The Bugs are not rumor, they are both legend and fact, and teach their young to avoid areas where the bugs have been spotted. However, there hasn't been a sighting for decades, leading people to speculate that the rumors were just scary stories to tell children around the campfires at night. But something has has caused them to reawaken in a remote area of the surrounding woods. This area of the forest is not well traveled, and all visitors to the park are warned against venturing in, despite The Bugs' absence for so many years. But not all heed the warnings! As this first victim soon finds out, warnings (like 'STOP' signs on a street), are there for a purpose! Horrible Hamilton has awakened and claims the first victim!
Enjoy! Opa Fritz
