Illustrated Vintage
Vintage Colorforms set?
Back in the late 70s or possibly very early 80s, I had a Mickey Mouse Colorforms play set that was larger than the standard size. The backdrop was illustrated as a cutaway view of the interior of an old spooky house.
What was unique about this particular set was that by placing a light source (such as a small lamp) behind the play surface, which stood upright out of the box, you would reveal “ghosts” in certain areas of the backdrop.
These areas were simply paper with the image printed on the back side, so in normal light they appeared blank, but when backlit showed the ghosts.
I have Googled and Googled this the last couple of years and come up with nothing.
Did anyone else out there have this play set and can you remember what it was called?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Yes! It was “Mickey Mouse Magic Glow Funhouse”…thanks so much!
