Subject: Long Lost 80's toy

Written By: Ray on 09/21/04 at 1:31 pm

I used to get these packages that would have various action figures on wax paper. It would include a backdrop scene. You would take a pencil and color over the action figures to transfer them onto the backdrop scene. Anyone know what those were called?

thanks
Ray

I remember guys in my class doing this as a kid, it's was like major for them.  Why is it I go into 80's speak when I'm on this board??  I don't talk like this irl, well, not really...

I could picture a few boys hovering over a kid's desk, commenting and directing.  I watched peripherally probably checking out the guys, lol.
