did anyone have these as a kid????

i had like 10,000 of these over the years but sadly none survived...
either they got thrown away, lit on fire for crash scenario, or my damn dog ate them....................

What about these? I remember buying these things all the time.

 

[FLOSI]

Anyone ever have this?

I loved it as a kid... You'd swap out the different heads, upper and lower bodies to make different characters.

Anyone remember colorforms?

OMG... I must have bought 50 of those balsawood airplanes. I loved those things... the ones with the wheels were the best.

My father in law bought one for my son just the other day. It was cool to see that they're still alive and well.

Wasn't Electro part of the US series or something? I remember that was the only one I had

That was the beauty of them- You usually broke a wing or the rubberband, but since they were so cheap, you could buy a whole new one.

Those are the good ones, I only had access to the sytrofoam ones without the rubber band motor, just propellors that moved when you threw them. Damn Franklin Institute gift shop and their cheap planes.

hell yes...............the local tom thumb store carried these on a carousel/ rack. a buddy of mine bought a triplane & i was so jealous until i saw him trying to fly it..................it was a glorious fail that restored my faith into my 35 cent investment vs. his 80 cent investment.........

Had these Japanese White Wings paper plane sets at the age of 11-12...

Oh yeah, bought my fair share of those. God, that balsa wood was soooo fragile.

Anyone remember colorforms?

OMG, I forgot all about mighty men & monster maker!!! I loved that as a kid!!!

 

[FLOSI]

OMG, I forgot all about mighty men & monster maker!!! I loved that as a kid!!!

I was doing a search for Colorforms when Mighty Men and Monsters popped up too... Suddenly a part of my brain that hasn't been used in years was opened up again.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Seeing colorforms suddenly made me remember these. Ah, the good ol' days when young children were encouraged to play with hot ovens.

OMG, colorforms!!!! Oh how I have missed thee from my memories!!!

I can't even remember which ones I had, just that I always seemed to lose the pieces.

YES! Loved this thing!

Does anyone remember those sets that were very similar to colorforms. You would get a background and various characters then use a coin or pencil to rub the characters onto the background to create your own scene? They would sell them at grocery stores and they were roughly the size of a comic book.

Holy crap! I thought I imagined those things. None of my friends remember them. I wish I could remember what they were called.

They came in a plastic bag, right?
