DC Super Heroes Shrinky Dinks circa 1976?

[megoscott]

Okay, I'm having some sort of powerful random nostalgia flash back today and am remembering coloring in a Batgirl and other DC Super Heroes Shrinky Dinks circa 1976. Anyone have any photos of these?

I had those SHRINKY DINKS and they are one of my favorite childhood toy memories.

I remember that classic 70s RIDDLER pose was one of the images...and
I always thought his hand positioning was weird...these days it comes across
almost like MR. ROPER taunting JACK TRIPPER.

My guess is Infantino and Anderson were trying to channel Frank Gorshin's gesturing as the Riddler, but it does look like he's pointing down at something for no reason, or doing the Roper as you mention.

I made Marvel shrinky dinks from comic pictures. My favorite was the six armed spidey I made. He was so cool!

I loved Shrinky Dinks. I don't recall which ones I had (and I know I have a handful of them in a box somewhere) but when we ran out of "official" SD plastic we found that you could use other things instead like those clear plastic lids that would come on tubs of stuff from the deli counter.

I had some sort of Marvel set from the same company, except you put the characters onto cardboard backers, the art is amazing, I still have the goblin somewhere...

Thanks Chris...it's kinda trippy (no pun intended) to address/discuss
a thought that's laid in my head undiscussed for about 30 years!

Jeez, I'd love to have that SHRINKY DINKS set again...pure 70s DCU fun memories

Hey, let's see a picture of the goblin, please.

Well I have to find it but when I do, I will share.

I had a Marvel Shrinky Dinks set too. I think it was Secret Wars related. It's odd that I didn't have more sets than that. I was pretty artsy/crafty as a kid. Imagine that.

hey Scott... did you just have a conversation with yourself at the beginning of this thread?

[megoscott]

heh, yeah, I posted my question before I actually did any Googling, which is a pet peeve of mine....so I had fun with it and revealed myself to be the disturbed loner we all feared.

Aquaman Shrine comes through! That Batgirl image is what I remember the most. I remember coloring that one in.
