Subject: Unknown toy from 70's

Written By: Craig on 10/24/09 at 9:48 am

My brother and I had a red handheld 'movie viewer'.  You pressed the button on the front and looked into the viewfinder to watch the movie.  The movies were self contained in a round (I think) grayish cartridge that was inserted in the viewer.  I specifically remember having Spiderman with the Green Goblin and maybe Heckle & Jeckle.  Thank you!

They were called View Master and they're still made to this day.

Thanks for the reply - it wasn't a ViewMaster.  This was more of a thin, vertical handheld viewer.

  Did a bit of searching and came-up with Pocket Flix.  Is this it..?

  Never had one of these.  I had the one you had to crank and it used rectangular cartridges...
