KALKITOS!!

[Gluecifer]

Something I'm hoping the euro rockers can chime in with as I'm not sure if these made it to the u.s

These were card panorama pictures that served as a background and you'd rub transfers onto them to complete the image.
The result ended up looking like non-moving animation, with bright comic style images on a painted flat backdrop.

I LOVED these as a kid, the main production seems to be from 1978 to the mid 80s. I'm going through a bit of a resurgence looking for them again, as I seem to do every couple years.

Anyone remember them or have any photos they can share?

Also, a company in Singapore started making Kalkitos again!! I ordered a few off their site, can't wait!

I think these were called "Color-forms" in the US

MANY hours spent on those!

Anyone remember Shrinkydinks? Nothing like cooking plastic in the oven...oh yeah, I can still remember the smell of out gassing plastic in the kitchen! "Hey Mom, you gonna cook dinner in the oven now?"

Colorforms was different. You had sticky vinyl shapes that you could place on a background image and you could peel them off and reposition lots of times. Presto Magix was the dry transfer / rub on stuff.

That's what I remember. That, and something similar that you decorate a plate with and bake it. The result was a colorful, personalized diner style plate. I hope I'm not the only one who remembers this.
