This is insane...I've been looking at this for ten minutes, thinking it's gotta be a fake, but it's not.
I have never ever seen this before, even in the lunch box books. The embossing is even different on that side...it's true 3-D with rounded shapes, whereas the reverse side everything is raised, but flat.
I wonder if it's a prototype, or a one of a kind? My mind is blown either way. What an unbelievable discovery. This is like finding out MEGO made a WGSH figure no one ever knew about!
This doesn't even turn up in a Google image search...I'm absolutely floored.
I used to collect lunchboxes and never seen this one before
It's possible it's Canadian
Toward the end of the 70's most Canadian variants were plastic but since this was made in 76 who knows.
Around the same time is when Canada came out with the Canadian variant Bionic Woman lunch box with Maple Leaf flag replacing the Stars and Stripes in the classroom
Is it possible that the lid and thermos are from an Amazing Spider-Man box and put together?
It seems weird that one side says Marvel Super Heroes and the other is Spider-Man specific.
If I had only spent a tenth of the time studying Physics that I spent learning Star Wars and Baseball trivia, I would have won the Nobel Prize.
I don't know how to explain the lid, but something seems off. Go look at any Aladdin lunch box you might have on hand and you can see the negative of the raised parts of the lid when you look on the reverse side of the lid. You know, the part with the "Safety First" bit from the Safety Council. The pics of the inside of this lid, the part with Spidey on the reverse, is smooth as all get out and the front is bumped out to no end. Just seems weird to me from the pictures and given the fact that no one has ever seen one of these. I'm no expert but it just does not add up given the fact that I really believe that thermos to be from the mid-90s and the lid just has a bad feel to it. The colors on Spidey are too bright compared to the rest of the box and Spidey looks a little off model for Aladdin.
I wonder if it's some kind of fantasy piece or prototype. Two things that are weird about it: Look at the last two pictures of the inside of the lunch box. The embossing doesn't show through. That and the artwork on the Spider-man side isn't as skilled. It also looks like the art was done at the same size it was reproduced.
Yeah, this seems off. It may be some kind of mock-up from Aladdin, which would account for the kind of crude and different artwork. If it's real...the buyer got on HECK of a deal!
The black paint on the border of the lid is a different black than the rest of the lunchbox. The front looks like it might be some sort of 3d sticker maybe.
