They Made These Presto Magix?!

[@timkaase87]

I had these when I was 5 years old in the hospital. The plastic scraper didn't always work,so the nurses gave me a wood tongue depressor

[@shanester1832]

Put on you your Sunday best, we're going to Sears!

[@sithcritic8906]

Vic Morrow helicopter reference is a deep cut.

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

RIP those 2 little Vietnamese children. Their mom didn't even know what was going on when she signed off the movie Part. She got $500 for the payment. I can't remember if she or her family sued or what?

[@stephenkayes8981]

That Vic Marrow joke was dark. I love it.

[@pinballshawn]

I loved these as a kid but I was easily amused.

[@XianHu]

4:09 Many kids may have wanted this one after the 1976 movie, "Midway" came out, starring Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda, James Coburn & Robert Wagner (also including lesser known actors at the time, Pat Morita, Dabney Coleman, Erik Estrada & Tom Selleck)

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

MIDWAY got me into the military and everything war related. I was hooked on gi his the next day ( goodbye SW and heman).

[@elrodimusflash9331]

Whenever I was sick my mom would bring home a presto magix.

[@kenhill8272]

I used to love Presto Magic as a kid. Used to get them for like a quarter at 7-11.

[@matthewtarpley7613]

I bought one from one of the big chain drugstores, I am not sure which one. There was tons of them back in the day. The one I bought was from The Empire Strikes Back.

[@rickwj324]

I had LOTS of presto magix...I loved those things! I remember having some ESB ones that were pretty cool.

[@ciscodeer9094]

Didn't have Presto Magic, I had Colorform.

[@XianHu]

5:30 This version is definitely influenced by 1979 movie, "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" or the connected TV series that ran from 1979 to 1981 (starring Gil Gerard & Erin Gray), because those are clearly Thunderfighters used by the Earth Defense Directorate created for that version of Buck Rogers.

[@hediho-ry6rs]

Awesome episode presto Magic’s we’re awesome 😎 I think you summed up all the fun of the early 80’s also we used to put those things all over the place they were so much fun

[@XianHu]

5:42 Actually, before Star Wars came out, a lot of kids really liked cowboys in general, and The Lone Ranger in particular, watching reruns of the old TV series starring Clayton Moore.

[@ThatJunkman]

Yep.

[@sithcritic8906]

Photon was the laser light game competitor to Lazer Tag. It had laser reactive action figures and a live action show. I had the helmet set, with phasers and chest plates.

[@XianHu]

That's what I was thinking it was from, too. "Photon: The Ultimate Game on Planet Earth" was actually first, much like how Hydrox sandwich cookies were first, but everyone only knows Oreo's now.

[@MrJtmendoza180]

One of my favorite heroic duos, Blue Falcon and Dynomutt.

[@XianHu]

2:38 Dynomutt, Dog Wonder was the sidekick to Blue Falcon, superhero alter-ego of millionaire socialite art dealer Radley Crown.

[@vegasgone07-dh4lb]

Presto Magix had Star Wars and Indy nuff said. 👍 😂🤣

[@morgangallowglass8668]

These were among the birthday presents you brought to the party that your parents made you attend. You did not like or even really know the kid and had to bring something...So...there ya go.

[@xavierdraco33]

I loved these. And the vinyl things with pink panther and such.

[@robertnovelli2960]

I had a lot of those, thanks for the flashbacks.

[@MisterJessel]

"Airheads" reference 😆

[@scottcerra6324]

Photon, the precursor to laser tag it was a TV show and a toy line

[@NintendoSuperstar93]

Never had these as a kid, but looks neat. Kind of reminds me of how I’d take coins, put a piece of paper over them and rub over the paper with a pencil and it’d create a shaded drawing of the coin.

[@3Storms]

I remember them. You scratch/rub them onto something, and you're done. That's it. It was a cheap diversion that was not really a toy.

[@Jager71]

Man!!!! Just yesterday I was thinking of these!!

[@XianHu]

7:54 FYI, Presto Magix were originally made by the Papermate Division of Gillette from 1975 to 1978. The sets were later published by the American Publishing Corporation. As of 2024, the Presto Magix trademark with intent to use has been filed by New Frontier Marketing Associates, LLC in Millburn, New Jersey.

[@ThatJunkman]

Yep thought I cover that. My bad

[@XianHu]

@@ThatJunkman You definitely hit some of those points 🙂

[@tperson8347]

Hey, is that Ephant Mon standing over the grating near Java the Cup? You don't see that guy too often. :)

[@TheJohno95]

I still have a ton of these in a drawer! When I was a kid, I was always bugging my parents to let me get one when we went to the grocery store. They're all used, but it's fun to look back on them and the hours of fun I had putting characters in weird places on the board.

[@werewolfantipaladin]

The incredible edible egg. Talk about going back in the memory. You had to be careful with these because some of the transfers were close to one another and you could accidentally put one where you didn’t want it

[@alexnejako777]

the Dinosaur Dracula article on the Return of the Jedi colorform set is comedy gold. So is the one where he drank vintage Ecto Cooler from when the Ghostbusters cartoon was still on TV.

[@RickSFfan]

The one thing I remember about Thundarr the Barbarian was the hottie Princess Ariel. Her outfit was a cyan leotard. They have made her in action figure form, and it looks pretty good.

[@michaelrussom6463]

I forgot I had these, until seeing this video. Star Wars, maybe it was jabbas palace. I can't remember for sure. The Star Wars, Ghostbusters, GI Joe and Photon all seem cool (and I wouldn't mind rubbing Daisy Duke😂😂😂). Photon was similar to Lazer Tag, but in addition to the weapons they had figures. One of my friends had them and they were awesome. They were about the first 12 inch scale figures and had interactive weapons.

[@michaelrussom6463]

Replying to myself, lol. I mean these are the first figures in remember in this scale in the 80's, other than Star Wars.

[@stephenkayes8981]

Blue falcon and dyno mutt.

[@BioFactory1]

10:48 - They had A-team. Me and my brother had A-Team and Knight Rider ones.

[@opuscrap4322]

LOL. Pepper Jack loves Fraggle Rock. 🤣🤣🤣

[@skidart9063]

Oh man, you brought up memories of getting those all the time in the early and mid 80s. Wow, I can't believe I forgot about those

[@druv2458]

Yup those Return of the Jedi ones looked really exclusive when it came out !

[@keithpayne701]

I loved these. Had forgotten all about them. Thanks Junkman. 👍. "Presto" Magic song by B.o.B.

[@workstuff9875]

I"m glad you did a video on these. Got into an argument once over these. The person kept saying those are colorforms. I had the Empire Strikes Back Asteroid field one. I think some jedi ones too. The Vic Morrow joke was classic. Just as good as the BobCrane getting hit with a tripod joke you made awhile back. You are a sick man. Thats awesome.

[@tperson8347]

I like most of these. The AT-AT foot is probably positioned so you can put a snow speeder under. I don't know. I don't know what it comes with, but that would be my guess. :) I want all the SW, but I'd definitely want the the big ESB poster size one. Yes on Fraggle Rock and Ghostbusters. Thanks for the video

[@veryfineguy]

I had these. Battlestar and Superman but my favorite was Star Wars. I used to try to press Farm boy Luke on to other things than the magix board.

[@stevegallo8483]

I remember having a GI Joe Presto Magix at one time.

[@masonwallace0572]

I remember the video you tried to do the old ones

[@nerdcraftercoley7305]

The Vic Morrow joke...to soon Junkman lol

[@meeeoooow]

❤Moar presto magic...

[@SuperJono42]

These were called letraset in the shitty fancy uk

[@DougFregia]

Well dude I'm 43 and I remember a lot of stuff you show. I especially remembered them cheap plastic cars from Walmart, Gibson's,eckerds and Perry's. I remember presto magic. I just subbed because I like your content,brings back memories and the more subscribers you get the more your haters hate.

[@ThatJunkman]

Good ;)

[@joefell5311]

I loved Presto Magix.

[@micolash3196]

My grandfather had a few of these in storage

[@hediho-ry6rs]

Shrinky dinks

[@XianHu]

Those were great, too! I had several, including a Mork & Mindy set.

[@leonptr]

Vic Morrow 😂 Ouch 😂

[@scottgurdinak9362]

Damn hadn't thought of those in over 30yrs.they were cheap even us poor kids could get em

[@Jason-nl8cy]

Love your shirt....I wonder how many of your younger viewers know who Ozzy and Harriet were..let alone Ricky Nelson

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

I like the shirt, JUNKMAN! i have a few of JUNKMAN MERCH clothes. They're actually kinda nice. Great prints that don't peal, bright appealing colors. And of course cool images that JM creates on yhere😢.

[@ThatJunkman]

Awesome thank you!

[@palpatine775]

Junkman, you be poppin' though!

[@shaunmitchell2069]

Blue Falcon it's Blue Falcon.Hanna Barberra was cool should dig up some figures from there for a video herculoids galactic trio shazzam Space Ghost wacky racers

[@chriskylo323]

Man I loved these things. Every Sunday my dad would take me to the local bakery, and we’d stop at the stationary store next to it and buy me one.

[@Albendova666]

I got mine at Revco
