Hasbro Paint by Number sets

i honestly don't know what would have won if i had a choice at six, probably the Super Friends but I think Star Trek had a decent shot.

Star Wars 3-D Poster Art


As cool as the Star Wars set is, I am disappointed that the Travolta set doesn't also come with a mask.

Muppet Candle Making Kit


Candle making kits are both wonderful and strange, you are essentially setting fire to characters you find beloved.

I'm assuming you're given a double helping of purple in all the kits....

1979 Craftmaster Poster Art Catalog



Poster and marker sets were one of my favourite ways to spend an afternoon as a kid (cause that's about how long the markers would last). I also recently have become invested in tracking down all the ones I had as a kid.

Craftmaster had all the best licenses in the late 70s which included Star Wars and arch rival Battlestar Galactica, Super hunk John Travolta, Fantasy Island and Love Boat.


I'd also like to add if you have the Fantasy Island set for sale, CONTACT ME!!!!!

Battlestar Galactica Poster Art


Please give a warm welcome to my latest obsession, 70s poster art sets. As a young lad I ruined many of these with my lack of both talent and patience.

I've been secretly admiring these on Ebay until one bout of sleeplessness resulted in a surprise parcel in the form of this set and it is a beauty! 

Seriously I don't remember buying this...


Look at how beautiful the art is on this thing, you don't need to colour it all.


One thing I want to point out is, this is how they suggest you color  these pages.



Aaaaand these are the tools they give you to accomplish this goal.

Poster Art Center


There is no doubt in my mind that I would have spent all of my pocket money on one of these as a kid. It's just what one? I'm not ashamed to admit even Ziggy was a contender for me as a kid.

Trek Doodles


I really miss poster art sets, I'm sure they still exist but I'm more or less referring to the days of doing them. These Star Trek sets by Open Door Enterprises bring back some strong happy memories, below are the two sets that they offered for much of the 1970s.



Man, that "Star Trek lives" mantra got around in the 1970s.


The art on these seems pretty impressive, a nice bit of work. In my travels I haven't seen many of these kicking around.

Artsy Phartsy


As kitsch as those owls are, there is something about them that brings me some sort of comfort and as a side bonus, people will think I'm a fancy millionaire who paid a lot of money for them.

My dad filled this up in one week!


Ahhhh the days before recycling! Seeing this ad reminds me of Black Label which was pretty much my beer in my college (poverty) days. We broke up one horrible Sunday morning and I decided to see other beverages....

Lord of the Craft Aisle

My love for the Filmation Tarzan series knows no bounds and these amazing poster art and craft sets have now become my new holy grails.

Move over velvet Elvis


I'm setting my phasers on "art" and this is heading warp speed to my mantle.
