Sleeping Bag O Rama

 

This selection of sleeping bags from 1979 really taps into the pop culture at the time, it's a mish-mosh of TV Properties and popular brands. I'd have gone for the Black Hole at the time, you?

Banish Bedtime Blahs!

 I'm no longer afraid to admit that it would have been a tough decision for me as a kid between Star Wars and Ziggy.

Slumber Fun!

I love that this page from 1982 still has some of the more solid 70s designs like that DC comics Super heroines design with the more trendy characters like Pac-Man and the Dukes. 
Wish I could collect these but they are space killers!

Raggedy Nightmares

What child wouldn't enjoy sleeping in the eviscerated corpse of a beloved icon?  Better yet crawl deep down and pretend that Andy is pregnant...with you! I want to point out this is eight years before "The Empire Strikes Back"....

It's Party-Time!

I miss sleepovers, well the ones that don't involve hangovers...

Slumber Bags

Wow! Slumber bags are much nicer than those crappy sleeping bags they sell at Woolco. I feel all classy saying it that way.

More Sleeping Bag Goodness

More reminders of my now long gone sleeping bag collection, that supergals one was possibly my favourite of all time, it doesn't hurt that much of it looks like a giant Mego actionf figure package but how often do you see Wondergirl on merchandising?

Super Selection of Sleeping Bags

I used to collect Sleeping bags, talk about a space killer. This spread has me wondering though, what kid wanted the McDonalds characters over say Spider-Man and Hulk or the cool robots from the Black Hole? I can't imagine unrolling a McDonaldland sleeping bag at Richard Huer's sleep over back in the day. I think I'd have been better off with the oversized Dorito's bag.
