More booklets from toys

 I have had these buried in a folder for years, and finally got round to scanning them in. Transformers, Centurions, Thundercats and Micronauts. The Thundercats one is just a really long strip so I chopped it up in Photoshop. I really like those Centurions, such a substantial size for an action figure.

FOOM #2

I recently picked up FOOM #2 and absolutely love these slightly misaligned printing plates.

 

Tattoo tat

A while ago I picked up a pile of old trading cards and assorted small bits of ephemera, and nestled in there was a bunch of those old lick n stick tattoo type things. I remember the tiny books of tattoos that came out of the 10p egg machines, I think these might have just come in pairs in those eggs. I'm guessing these are circa late 70s/ early 80s, and the couple of horror ones seem to be from a different series. I put these on my lightbox for a closer look, and tweaked the contrast a little. Some very groovy designs.

Batman Orange Hand promo

I picked up a good Batman oddity at London Comic Mart today for a mere 80p. A promo order form thingy for Orange Hand, which was a boys' clothing shop in the early 70s. Orange Hand is a great name for a villain.
