I hope you remember Mighty Max. The adrenaline pumped up equivalent of Polly Pocket. All you fun loving compact-hands holding and playing around people who were kids when it was 1992. That’s me! That might be you. So what’ve we got here? A bit of artwork. This is a set of hands that graced the fronts of the packages that held the Mighty Max blister packed playsets. A couple examples of those are included below, plus the rest of the whole set of hands. They’re creepy and they’re cooky.

UPDATE 2: RE-POSTED FOR SIZE – this post was originally posted before we had a site layout that allowed images larger than 500px wide. Now we do, so now this is!

Now there’s a guy out there, one heavy collecting dude. He loves to get toys, images of toys, everything that’s got to do with toys. One’s that had big effects on our brains as kids, especially when the toys were small. This guy’s name is Spectrum is Green and he’s got it all. He’s also on the lookout for new playset-related toys all the time so drop him a line if you’re into getting rid of all of yours, or just want them to go to a good home.

UPDATE: After an extended conversation with the collector behind the “Spectrum is Green” collection, (his name is Guy Himber,) we now know that these pictures are scans of the original artwork, aka the painted images as they existed before being applied to the packaging. Hot! Sexy! Amazing!

Now what you’ve got here is monster playsets and their monster hand equivalent. Sometimes it’s a wolf with a wolf, sometimes it’s a shark head with a mass of octopus tentacles for a hand. And they’re nice. They’re really simply painted, really precisely executed. Looking really pretty all the way through.

Now check it out – we’re on the lookout for the artist of these masterpieces. They were on the boxes, so maybe the boxes have a little signature on them? Anyone whose got one of these in the package still should take a peek!
