      I just this week sold the display to a celebrity.

      I absolutely LOVE Presto Magix and for a a while, I ran a company that produced a similar type of set. I nabbed a lot of current and popular licenses but Justice League was totally me being a nine year old.

        I used to pick those up at W.T. Grants in Marietta GA, I could not even start to tell you how many of them I had as a kid.

          My daughter still play with those Okey-Dokey (that's it, right?) sets from time to time. Great fun.

            I used to have these, as well.

            I haven't thought about them in decades, but I believe that the only ones I had were DC super heroes. Maybe Marvel too, though, because I was really into Spider-Man and Captain America back then.

              Dug out my Dino-astronaut scene. I know I made a few of these back then (meaning Mom and Dad bought me the prehistoric and space sets a few times), but this is the only one I have left. Trying to match this up in photoshop was a *****--enjoy

              PS- always enjoyed having one of the astronauts tumbling into the Sea Beast mouth

              Also found the "Sea Life" set and I noticed a transferred in both a Tyrannosaurs and Brontosaurus. Clearly must have been thinking of the film "Dinosaurus" where both hibernating dinos were found under the water off a coast line

                That's very cool.
                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...
