For more Fashion Mockery and 70's toy love visit us at Plaid Stallions.comIt's hard to make things like pencil sharpeners and desk sets interesting, I mean they are the gift an Uncle you don't know well gives you. Having said that, I love this Bugs Bunny Desk set, it has only one superior IMO:
Yeah I'm pretty smitten with the Batman desk set, this is most likely to me getting a Batman pencil sharpener as a kid and being overly thrilled with it. Arg, I'm off to Ebay to reconnect.....

I have the Raggedy Ann stapler to the executive set made by Janex, as these other 2 sets are.

Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic

I've always wanted that desk set since I first saw it (I think in Chip Kidd's "Batman Collected". I never put two-and-two together and realized it was Janex who made it. Makes sense as it has a similar style to their Batman talking alarm clock. Heck the Joker's the same color purple as the Batmobile on the clock!!!
Makes one wonder if the Joker's dynamite stapler wasn't somewhat inspired by the Comic Action Heroes exploding bridge playset box...

I'm pretty sure I had that Bugs that's laying down
