Hamilton's Invaders
Monster Science Fiction!
By Euphrates


Remco's Hamilton's Invaders series of toys enables children to explore the age old question: "What
would happen if the earth were attacked by giant bugs?"  Remember, this was 1964.

Horrible Hamilton and his yellow friend The Spider were the two antagonists in this line of
hard-to-find toys.  They were spring-motored which allowed them to walk and bite with their
pinchers.  The good guys were blue army-men sized soldiers in varying poses of shooting these
pests.  They were additionally equipped with a wind-up jeep and helicopter.

Remco also made a few child-sized pieces - the Grenade Pistol and Bug Helmet.  The vehicles
and the child-sized toys all had a sticker with Hamilton's Invaders and the pincher logo on them.

You won't find any bargains on this stuff at auction or sales sites.  It is rare and highly sought
after.  Oddly enough, most of the pieces I have seen around the net have been boxed.  I have
not see very many loose pieces from this series.  This may be because of their obscurity.  They
probably end up in lots of miscellaneous toys.
