The other day I saw two or three social media posts talking about something I hadn’t thought of in years. A toy from my youth and something I remember being totally obsessed with for a while. Colorforms. Being the oddball that I am, I thought it might be an interesting topic to write about.
Great intro to Colorofrms! I am a collector of them. And as for eBay always remember, “listed for” and “sold for” are two different numbers. Most vintage sets in complete condition can be had for $20-$100 based on their subjects. And any collection of any particular ‘60s - ‘80s movie or tv show is not complete without a Colorforms set based on it!
I’d never heard of these - which could be because they were regional, or (more likely) they weren’t introduced to me at the formative age. Loved my TinkerToys, though ... and my many Star Wars figures!
Wow, Colorforms would have been right up my street! I’ve never seen or heard of them - but I’d’ve LOVED these sets in the 70s and 80s, if they’d ever made it across the pond! Great post!
I never really had Colorforms. I was a Betsy McCall paper doll chick. Lol BUT.. as soon as I saw vinyl I’m thinking how cool would it be if Colorforms merged with Cricut vinyl for mugs and shirts?!?! Lol

Ha! My mom would never buy them, even though the commercials made them look like so much fun.

I have never heard of it. It looks interesting. I know what Tinkertoys and Lincoln Logs are but I never had them.
I hadn't heard of it, but sounds and looks great!
Probably haven’t because they are too young to remember Colorforms?? Or out of sight, out of mind. Lol
