The Frankenstein and Skeleton which I just sold a set for $1200.00. I also Just finish paying $400.00 for the Johnson Smith version of this Ghost…What all this ads up is that my children today sit on a small fortune once I start selling everything I own, the 7 feet sub being one of them. See thelandofsecrets.com and houseoftheunusual.com and you will see. We all ordered them and somehow in back of our minds disappointed or not how much would we give just to relive only a second of our past. Hey I treasure all those days of mail-order that shaped my life and Thank God that I was part of that now gone era.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04024001698866780297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-64563947382400386512009-10-29T14:13:01.717-07:002009-10-29T14:13:01.717-07:00Mike: Yes, unfortunately I don't have that ad ...Mike: Yes, unfortunately I don't have that ad in any of my comic books, HOWEVER a similar submarine was featured in an episode of CSI:NY... the excellent blog SECRET FUN BLOG has a summary of the episode, with scans of the original ad and pics of a mock-up of the actual cardboard submarine in action! <br /><br />http://secretfunspot.blogspot.com/2008/02/csipu.htmlBrother Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176233134588988372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-82416280093142865582009-09-29T08:43:23.083-07:002009-09-29T08:43:23.083-07:00Great stuff!

You missed my favorite, though: the giant 7-foot submarine with light-up control panel and real firing torpedoes. Oh, BTW, I have some of the magic smoke from fingertips paste. It actually works pretty well.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288021929310015374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-79464533707882821822009-09-27T02:16:46.386-07:002009-09-27T02:16:46.386-07:00Great post.

I remember 95% of all these ads and always wondered why doctors didn't use the x-ray specs to see if you had a broken bone. <br />I had the greedy green hand bank and can remember going through all those ads coveting all the rubber bats, flying ghosts and other cheap dissappointing junk that was hyped up.<br />Always wanted Boney, but never got one.Mr. Macabrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14885918409138932986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-5883226077420689512009-07-20T02:43:54.853-07:002009-07-20T02:43:54.853-07:00What memories!
