This one is driving me and friends mad  :D - we can't think of the name of those transfer sticker scenes that you could buy at the newsagents. It was a scene on cardboard which came with a page of transfer pictures. You unfolded the scene and rubben the pictures where you wanted them to go to create the scene.
We think it started with K? I rmember them being a huge craze in the late 70's when i was about 8 or 9.
Why don't they make these anymore, they were great!!

colorforms?

that's what i thought....but are youi saying that you rubbed these images on permanently? or were tyheyb made of rubber and stuck to the background?

I remember these you scratched the back of the sticker with a quarter to get them onto the cardboard setting... if you scratched too hard you'd tear the sticker. Dang what  were they called?

Colorforms were a vinyl plastic that could be used over and over. The rub and transfer were a one time shot. You would place it into the scene and that was it. I remember them, but not their name. I used to have Batman and Spiderman ones.

I remember rub-on tranfers.

There are a couple of names you can check out...
Presto Magix Transfers
Hasbro Rub-Ons

There are a few for sale on eBay.

I thought they were called Playforms.  I use to love those.

I think the playforms were more like vinyl prints that you used from the shape board to the scene board. You had the main chacter body but the arms varied in poses and you had other items you could add just by peeling and sticking.

I used to have these way back when...

dude, it was the rub-ons, i'm pretty sure. i used to love em, it was like stickers on wax paper and you'd rub it with a quarter or whatever onto a background scene. god, this is taking me back.

no, dammit, it wasn't rub-ons, it was something else. thanks a helluva lot man, i'm not gonna sleep at all now. :(

Rub On Transfers. I remember they came with a wooden tongue depressor looking thing that you would use to rub the picture onto the background. Here's one I found on Ebay, from 1968.
