INFO: These babies were great and a true way of making something stay put. These were transfers where you had to pencil them in on the surface of the picture of your desire. It would be a pain however cause you cannot erase them if you made a mistake or wanted to do it over again as they will stay there forever. It was first shot only :!: In My generation these were exciting and the coolest thing next to action figures. They don't make these type of activities anymore and I believe in this androgynous day and age kids wouldn't think nothing of this unless they are taught how special things like this was back in the day by their experienced parents. I wouldn't doubt that they would rage quit first second without the proper guidance because I know how frustrating something like this can be if you do make has a mishap :roll: I am very thankful that I got to experience this stuff and knew how cool it really was then cause this pathetic era offers very little something so ecstatic such as Presto Magix :!:

The selections of characters and such is really good but wow, the scenery is just gorgeous. IMO they still hold up and would look strikingly splendid for just about any SW wallpaper and/or background. Now all of these are used and I penciled them long ago. You can see I wasn't perfect when I did Mine. Sometimes I think why did I do this and that but that is what a young Brandon saw fit!

Rebel Base: The background is just beautiful, the Falcon looks marvelous. Even though I had Vader shot I pretended he was indestructible, that Han was on his ship and Leia jumped off of it.

Asteroid Storm: Gosh, there's a lot going on there :shock: Amazing how I put that stuff :lol:

Beneath Cloud City: Notice it's upside down. I wanted it to have a surface and to be honest, I wouldn't change this Bespin scenario if I had a second chance :)

Star Destroyer: Amazing how IG-88 is there with Vader instead of Boba Fett :shock: I do think I should have spaced the ships and stuff a little further out but it still looks good.

Signature Spot: There was always a cool section on them in the corner for you to sign it after you were finished, not sure why I never did Mine :?

Copyright: See, 1980 :!: :o

Size Comparison: Here is one compared to My "go-to guy", My vintage Kenner Nien Nunb!

SPECIAL NOTE: Now if had the opportunely I would buy a lot of these and of course the ROTJ versions as well and mix them up in all kinds of different scenes. At the moment I am unable to but their still available on eBay at somewhat decent prices. Back in the day they were quite cheap, only a couple bucks a pop.

YouTube video!

There wasn't any commercials of the ones I have here but the closest one is the ROTJ that PB brought to My attention which will give you a nice example of of cool it was then and how you make them ;)



And here is a short video of a comic shop guy, listen to what he says. I find it astounding he says what think :!:



Well, that will conclude My Presto Magix ESB showcase and I hope you enjoyed it, perhaps brought some memories back or even saw this for the very first time. These were so great when SW was still superb and I am quite grateful I got these :) If your just now seeing this then that means you missed the beginning of showcase since I have to split it up some now, make sure you see it cause after all, the YT vids are just bonuses, the first part is on page 3 :) Don't forget to check out the rest of the topic ;) I have some more classic SW coming soon, until then I'll see you around :batgrin:

I didn't know about these. If I did, I would have had waaay too much fun. These look amazing.

OMG, these things were so much fun as a kid (until you messed up and didn't cover the whole image and a piece didn't transfer and someone's arm was just floating next to them, lol). Those explosions look so familiar in design. I wonder if they were used throughout other character packs because I forgot about them, but they look like something I saw a lot as a kid. Even the asteroids feel familiar. I'm sure I had this as a kid. I can't believe you still have this stuff!

No idea why things like these don't still exist. Every time my grandma would take me to CVS I'd get one. I'd like to think my kids would enjoy these. It's kind of like drop and drag on the computer, but like you said, you only get one shot.

Indeed, it was kinda bad when your'd make a mistake :roll: Oh yes these were a handful :D Yep, I still got'em...nuts is a mild way of putting it :o ;)

I have no clue, the class, the fun factor and creativity is just not there in this era :x Sounds cool & fun about your Grandma and times too :) I know kids today are not the same as when we were kids back in the day but yes I would hope so :smsmile:

I actually never thought about it like that before about drag and drop. Yep, one shot it was...thanks...a lot PB :D

More great SW to come soon :batsmile:

Have you tried these recently to see if they still work? I'm curious about their adhesion after decades of non use. lol.
