Rub 'N Play Transfers. These were great fun, falling somewhere between Colorforms and temporary tattoos. They had playboards that you could etch the characters onto with a pencil, but I think that I remember putting them on notebooks and folders as well. Masters of The Universe was my favorite, and these classic character designs would make great adult tattoos. If I was bold enough, I'd have He-Man astride Battle Cat or Teela with that blazing sword on my bicep today.

Another piece of Batmania: the Batman Cartoon Kit from Colorforms, circa 1966.

Colorforms were colored vinyl pieces that you could arrange in the provided background, or just about any metal or plastic surface. There were dozens upon dozens of different Colorform sets, many featuring licensed characters from comics, cartoons, television shows and movies.

I knew kids who had Colorforms sets, but I never got into them. I would much rather play with my G.I. Joes or Major Matt Mason.

Forgot to post this! I got this from a dear friend for my birthday a few weeks ago 😊🥳

I used to have the official Beetlejuice Colorforms from 1990 but they’re gone and now they’re very expensive to replace on eBay. But this new one from 2024 is every bit as awesome!
