    Finger Faces






    One of the things I've noticed about Rack Toys is that good concepts don't die. This Finger Faces ad is 40 years old but I can still find them at my local dollar store for exactly the same price.

    I can't say that about coffee or Buicks sadly...

      I've got a Hulk and Spiderman finger puppet by Imperial! I also remember having a Spiderman vinyl puppet. I'll post pics later.

          These things really epitomize so many rack toys for me- When I was a kid, i was fascinated with these. I couldn't help picking them up and playing with one in the store. The moment I got one, however, I'd play with it for a few minutes and then put it down. Periodically, I might pick it up again, but it never saw a lot of play time.

          BUT... you can be assured that the next time we were on a store and I saw a box of these, I was overwhelmed with the urge to get one.

                  They sell these at my local Michale's craft store for three bucks.

                      Going to the doctor tomorrow, wonder what kind of flexy-face finger combination I'll get in the morning...
                      I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

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

                              I have a melting man one of these. I bought it at a convenience store fairly recently. I should have bought the whole box.

                                  Its amazing how much variety of product enticed us as kids in the checkout lane. And to think Mego was born from these trappings.
