Colorforms Castle Dracula Fun House
A marriage of Monsters and colorforms comes close on the importance scale to chocolate and peanut butter in my house.
Web Spinning Toy Love
What’s not to love about this 1977 licensing ad for Marvel Comics, it’s like Spider-Man is dropping a treasure trove of Mego items on you along with classics like Crazy Foam and Colorforms. That’s a monsterous improvement over the usual rain and bird poop that normally falls on me from above…
The Outer Space Man Conspiracy
Despite the fact that the toy line ended before I ever gulped oxygen, the Colorforms Outer Space Men are strong childhood memory for me.

Planet of the Apes Colorforms
I love it when a toy concept I adore is crossed over with a license that rules, in this case it’s the merging of Colorforms with Planet of the Apes. One of the my favourite things about this piece is it seems strongly influenced by the “Return to the Planet of the Apes” cartoon series. […]
