Paint By Numbers Coolness

[RSS]

While a paint by numbers kit alone isn't that exciting to kids, Hasbro amped up the cool with the licensing. I'd have trouble deciding today what to choose let alone as a five year old. I'd probably go with Star Trek but the idea of painting Aquaman is really tempting....

I have the Star Trek one, maybe one day I'll have to scan and computer color the picture.

I had both the Batman and Super Friends editions, but the SF was the one with the typical forward looking pose. I remembered being a bit old for them, but my parents probably just used them for stocking-stuffers.

The Star Trek one would have been cooler.

I would've loved that Batman one as a kid

I'd be happy with any of those as a kid and now as an adult.

Well, if Tim likes it, then you know, odds are, I liked as a kid (though I still don't get his Redskins thing. GO Cowboys )

These stayed with me even as I "outgrew" toys and started to get into grown-up music. I may have put aside my Batman paint-by-numbers, but I wasn't too old to pick up colored markers and use those numbers to recreate Kiss' Rock and Roll Over album cover- complete with felt!

I would have loved to have one of those. My mom would have seen "oil paints" and said no way. Actually, seeing the way my kids paint, I am kind of surprised that they are not a water based paint. I remember a lot of acrylic sets as a kid.

The only PBN set I got as a kid were flowers . I don't even think I opened it, I think I turned around and gave to someone else as a gift. I would have love to have gotten one of these!

I had the Batman one when I was a kid. It looked really amazing(my Mum painted the hard bits for me, if I recall correctly). Wish I still had it...good times.

[Jason73]

I want the Superfriends one. Really cool.

Hey now, let's now get crazy here A Philly boy being a Cowboys fan? Is that how you made your way to NY, because they ran you out of Philly?

These are very cool. I'd buy them today.
