Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

August 8, 2012 By 8 Comments

All you need is your imagination… and a little help from Colorforms.

I have a pretty good collection of Colorforms kits and finding this montage of vintage commercial made my day.

    I used to love Colorforms! I haven’t thought about those in a loooong time. I had quite the collection in the 80s.

    Y’know, I watch ads from the 50’s and sixties now, and all I can think of is Mad Men. That show has totally ruined me for advertising. If I let it creep in too far, it’ll ruin me for food mascots, and Happy Meal toys, and Saturday morning cartoons, and cereal prizes and…

    I need to stop.

    Plus, I second Hobgoblin’s remark. I wanna see the Colorforms too!

    I loved Colorforms as a kid. I have been hunting for a few to add to my collections, especially vintage Batman and Spiderman sets. Those can be pretty expensive on ebay.

    This is a real find. I don’t rememebr ever seeing a commercial for Colorforms. I had the Batman set at one time and always wanted the Super Friends set, but never got it.
