  1. This slideshow brings back some fond memories for I had the Amazing Spider-Man, Batman and Robin, Castle Dracula, G.I. Joe Adventure Team, Star Trek and Superman phone booth Colorforms. I used Star Trek to beam the characters from one set to another. They kept me very entertained when I was sick and read all the current comic books at the time.

    I also had the Batman PrestoMagix but I had never seen the Superman ones.

  2. Were the PrestoMagix like I've theorized here -- like Colorforms, except that the pictures you transfer (by rubbing on, I'm guessing, like temporary tattos) are more or less stuck on the background permanently?

  3. Yes, they stuck to the background permanently. That was one of the things that I hated about them. I also didn't like that you could rub forever and not all the figure would stick to the background.

  4. Good God! Green Hornet Colorforms!?! I had no idea that they reached that FAR BACK into history!

  5. I've seen Colorforms listed with copyright dates going back to the early 1960s!

    According to Wikipedia, they started in the 50s!
