Remember these? Thread for obscure childhood toy memories

[BlueDog]

Hey fella's

Does anyone remember transfer sheets you could buy in the 70's-80's they were usually super hero's and I remember Star Wars one's too. They would come with a sheet that had a whole bunch of different characters in different poses and the backing sheet was a scene of some type that you would rub them onto to create your own picture.

I can't even think of how to describe them in a google or ebay search.

Cheers Ryan

Like pretend tatoos that you wet or the ones you had to 'scub' with a pencil to transfer over?

I used to love these. Still buy some every now and then for the kids.

God yeah foam spitfires

 

[BlueDog]

Ha ha yeah those were cool too, anyone remember these:

Invisible ink puzzle books, always bought these and the foam spitfires when we were on holidays as a kid.

Might have to start a remember these thread eh?

Looks like they based it off someone of Weasel's character. :lol:

 

[plantman]

Yeah i remember the magic ink...lol memories

a bit more modern but you remember Atmosfear game with the VHS tape? the guy stops you and punishes you through the game lol

He started off as a man and as the time ran down he turned zombie like

 

[BlueDog]

Yeah I remember the ads on TV for that one, never got to play it though.

 

[BlueDog]

loving the stuff being remembered here so I changed the thread title.

:lol: I wanna be a Mod too :lol:

I remember Atmosphere!
It was a great laugh, but sadly had bog all play-ability. After one game you knew what was gonna happen.
They made a few other follow up games as well. Same problem though.

I remember the spit fire and the transfers as well.

No idea what Josh is trying to imply though! :lol:

 

[BlueDog]

:lol: I just noticed it does look a little suss having a guy with his hand in his trench coat with "hours of by yourself enjoyment" printed on the cover

The old marbles were a great toy.

Bloody loved the old sling shot as a kid also.

Mine were never that fancy though. Usually had to make our own. I remember one of my mothers friends snapping one in half when she saw it. Biatch!!!!!!! :twisted:

 

[BlueDog]

Never allowed to have one.

Had some of these though....

 

[plantman]

i was in york last week and the museum was selling marbles, we used to play them on drains, Kingies, queenies and if yours had a bubble in it, it was worth more LOL

Im gonna like this thread

Great thread- I used to love the foam planes! 20p!

I had a cool toy back in the early 90s, it was a black and purple triangular space ship and came with small figures (mirco collection size) I *think* the little fellas has magnet in the feet......
Ring any bells?
