I had 2 sets of these. I had one disney one and then I had one that came with a video. It had shapes and stuff and when you got to certain points in the video you would use the shapes to make things to "help" the characters. I usually just watched the movie because it was awesome.

This is so WEIRD! One of those weird memories that stick in your mind forever. I had a Mork and Mindy color form set which was the first one I ever had and I remember it because my mom had to have eye surgery once when I was like 4 and I remember her coming home wearing a white eye patch after being away from us for the first time ever and me playing with those things while she was gone. I think I got a Winnie The Pooh one with Tigger later.

These were cool. I liked the way they smelled, like sweet plastic.

I loved colorforms! I had the Mork & Mindy set, and a Charlie's Angels set, and probably some others, but my favorite set was this HUGE Mickey Mouse set where the colorforms glowed in the dark.

I had tons of these! I LOVED them. I remember having this super huge one that was Raggedy Ann Tea Party theme. I got it for my 4th or 5th birthday. I have a picture of it somewhere....I was so happy I was beaming in that picture.

I had a more recent one from the early '90s of The Little Mermaid, I also had some other ones that I can't think of & I had an old birthday card with the same idea.

I had a Sesame Street one. It had several levels on the house. It was so AWESOME! You could put the refrigerator and beds and Ernie and Bert wherever you wanted. I wish I had that to pass on to my son!

I had the Sesame Street ones if I can recall. I wish I had the Popples colorforms like the ones they show on top, but I don't think I did. They just don't make them like they used to

Oh wow! I remember these!! I had a Holly Hobbie one. I loved that thing! I played with it until the forms just wouldn't stay on the shiny cardboard anymore! LOL

These ROCKED! I had a Holly Hobbie General Store set, a haunted house set that had "secret doors", Snoopy, and probably others.

I absolutely loved these! I had Superfriends and He-Man...They were awesome. I'm 30 years old, but would still play with them today if they existed!

Man, I had Spiderman, He-man, Star wars, and Mork and mindy. The hardest one to find is King Kong. I'll give you a dollar if you can even find a picture of one on the internet.
