"A 30 piece puzzle with Colorforms play pieces that stick like magic! Includes Colorforms for the Amazing Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk and their arch foes: Doctor Octopus, Rhino, Abomination, Lizard, Green Goblin, and the Leader. Put the battle scen together and create your own adventures. Ages 3 and Up."I love how they got the colour scheme of some of the characters sooo wrong, like the red Rhino or the blue Abomination!
Heh. I remember Colorforms being VERY sloppy as far as coloring of the heroes. I remember the Spider-Man set from the 1970's, and didn't they color Spider-Man and Vulture one color apiece? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think too many kids minded, though. It was a thrill just to make our heroes do what WE wanted 'em to do! :)
Hey Gernot, thanks for the comment. And great points!
ReplyDeleteI had a very similar set as a kid!
ReplyDelete(same figures but with the traditional slick background. Not the puzzle.)
But mine was from mid-to-late 1970's.
Even I wouldn't have got that in 1983 (as I would have been 16 years old).
LOL.
Until very recently, I did still have a few of the figures stuck to my drafting table lamp (That Doctor Octopus and a Spider-Man). They're in a box of assorted office stuff right now.
I loved those darned things.
lol
Man, I almost forgot about Marvel colorforms. I'm sure I had these before I could even read, and they probably had some to do with my interest in superheroes.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, thanks for the flashback----and I'm gonna check out ebay for colorforms!
