Super Mates Episode 23: Colorforms and Presto Magix with Brian Heiler

January 22, 2015

Brian Heiler, mastermind behind PlaidStallions.com and author of Rack Toys; Cheap, Crazed Playthings returns to talk about some of our favorite creative toys from childhood! But first he dishes the dirt on the exciting new Captain Canuck Mego-style figure he is helping to produce!

Then we dive into discussion about Presto Magix, those great rub-on transfers featuring our favorite characters! All you needed was a pen or a coin and you could create some awesome action scenes.

Our talk leads into a gabfest about Colorforms, the toys that stick like magic! Famous for “stick-on” sets including sets based on many of our favorite Super Heroes, cartoon and TV shows. But they also made some truly innovative toys, many created by the father of the legendary Colorforms Outer Space Men, Mel Birnkrat.

Along the way we ramble into general toy talk, and basically leave no stone unturned! You’ll get Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Super Friends, Spider-Man, Hulk, Captain America, Avengers, Star Wars, Star Trek, Space: 1999, Flash Gordon, Captain Action, KISS, Barbie, Strawberry Shortcake, G.I. Joe, Transformers and more!

Download via iTunes.
