    Anyone else remember Presto Magix?

    I used to freakin love making these. They were painted backdrop scenes that you would apply rub-on transfers to make you rown customizable scenes from movies and cartoons. I had a few of the Star Wars ones and loved making my own battles. I'd like to get my hands on a few of these today and have an afternoon filled with this activity.






    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

      Good times with Presto Magix for younger me included the Caped Crusaders Batcave & the Hulk "Hulking it out" in the desert landscape!
      I post in thy general direction!

        The only drawback to those was you could only use them once. But yeah they were fun.

            I remember those. I definitely had the Star Wars and Ewoks sets.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              I remember Preto Magix very fondly. I had a few of them but all I can remember is the Batman one. They seemed to have been on one of the local retail store shelf very briefly. I wish I still had mine and I have no clue as to what happened to them.

                There was a counter display full of them in the toy dept. at Ben Franklin's. I bought 'em by the gross, it seemed.

                I think Brian had a display full of them for sale awhile back...

                  I ate these up. They were so creative, yet structured. Easy to do, and really fueled the imagination. I had the Batman Rub Ons, the Spiderman Presto Magix, and tons of Star Wars ones. Found a bunch of SW ones cheap in the '90s and bought them up. Great toy!

                            I still have a slew of Presto Magixs here in my desk drawer. Some of them have not been used. I loved also combining sets. I used to combine the prehistoric set with the astronaut space set to make it appear like they were landing on some prehistoric planet

                              I have some Michael Jackson (80s) ones in a box somewhere. But I think they're Colorforms brand.
