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.

I LOVED THESE !!! I had a muppet baby one and a strawberry shortcake one I would play with these for hours on end

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 these things so much. I can't remember which ones I had but I remember playing with them for hours.

I had alvin and the chipmunks!!!

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 LOVED these, one of my favorite toys. My favorite one was Holly Hobby, of course.

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 the Cabbage Patch Kids House!!!!

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

i was actually raised by colorforms. colorforms, and tv. ah, the sweet, sweet eighties.

I had the Cabbage Patch house too (it was the best!) and a bunch of others. I have seen these in stores recently.

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

I had a Smurfs one and I absolutely loved it!

I had some sugar and spice one, girls house on one side and boys on the other. That like all I know.

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.

i have been trying to remember a mickey mouse color form set where u placed a colorform on a wheel (think u lifted mickeys treasure box) and they changed as u spun them thru t different colored windows ( 1 green 1 purple? ) any clue??? thanks

J - You just brought back a quick flashback to me!!! What was that thing?? I'm going on an ebay quest to find this right now.

Hollie Hobbie House in Colorforms and Bedknobs and Broomsticks Colorform set here.

God, I hadn't thought of these in years!! I had the Holly Hobbie schoolhouse one and Little House On The Prairie!! Yayy!! What fun they were!!

I had recieved a big E.T. colorforms set when I was getting my tonsils out. It was the forest setting with fold out flaps that revealed E.T.'s spaceship!

I had many of these when I was a kid. The best ones were Sesame Street with the two opening buildings and A Peanuts one where on one side you could open a big house (Charlie Brown's house I would presume) and the other side you could open Snoopy's doghouse!

I loved Colorforms! I had this huge Smurf village. It was a tree that you opened up & became their village w/ all the mushroom houses & stuff. It ruled.

I would literally play with these for hours. I also had the Smurf village one, and a Cabbage Patch Kids one.

I had the ginormo Smurf village too and used to play with that thing endlessly. It never got old with me...I was such an easy-to-please tot. Also we had 2 of these sets that were MAGIC SHOW colorform sets. Kinda hard to describe (but I'll give it a shot..) You would stick the colorform on this wheel and you turned the knob and it came into view under a green window and you'd see a little cartoon fishie (presuming the colorform in question is a cartoon fishie, that is) and then you turned the center knob a bit more, and it would come into view thru a red window and that would show THE FISHIE'S BONES!! Woohoo! Actually in retrospect, it was kinda lame, nowhere near as cool as the Smurf town playset. But we played quite a bit with ours, because it was a Mork & Mindy Colorforms Magic Show and I think we just loved that unique cachet that accompanied fine Mork & Mindy merchandise.We had a Minnie&Mickey Colorforms Magic Show that was nearly identical and we hardly ever touched the thing...unless we were lifting those colorforms for use on the Mork & Mindy Magic board.

Oh wow I used to LOVE my Colorforms!! I'm now 26 years old. I had so many of them, but one I remember most was the New Kids on The Block lol. A few years ago I bought a Cabbage Patch Kids one on ebay. It's awesome and just sits on my old stereo in my old room! :)

The best thing EVER! I had Popples, Smurfs, She-Ra, Sesame Street, Mickey Mouse, and Cabbage Patch kids. I am sure I had others. My mom would buy them or pick them up for me at a garage sale. They were so simple and fun. I don't understand why they don't make these still.

These things were awesome. I remember having tons of them. Isnt it funny how something so simple could provide hours of amusement. Kids now-a-days would probably hate them. We definitely had the best toys in the 80s!

We had the best toys in the 80's? In a word - AMEN.

loved playing with those! i still have the popples one at my mom's house.

I just scored a Holly Hobbie Colorforms original set on Ebay - has never been played with and the box has no broken corners - awesome! I played with this as a child - it brings back great memories!!!

Holy %#^^ - I had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Colorform, Home Alone 2 (guess they were still popular in early 90s), and many more. I wish my parents did not get rid of all my toys at yard sales!

i think I remeber having a Batman color forms.

apparently they still make these. My aunt sent a set its a box you open thats shiny cardboard with an outdoor scene, its about a caterpiller and how it changes into a butterfly. I wouldent have believed it by my 3yo plays with it often.

I loved these things! I remember a huge Smurfs one, and also a Garfield one. You could put Garfield in his cat bed and stick his food dish in front of him : )

Colorforms go back to the 60s!! I had a Top Cat set, after the TV show that I played with a lot. Also a Colorforms baseball game played with spinners that was actually a very good game with realistic final scores, etc. My older brother and I played this a lot. The background was obviously a baseball field, with Colorforms players to put on the bases. As someone else here has noted, the sets had a particular pleasant, sweet smell. I'm pleased to hear that they kept making them for a long time - they required children to exercise some imagination in their play, unlike too many modern toys/games.

Colorforms are awesome! I had several sets, Garfield, Cabbage Patch, and tons of others, I would spend hours decorating the room & playing with them, but I always lost them, thus the reason for having so many sets...lol

I got the Pound Puppies one for Easter. I was angry because I wanted a stuffed animal. What a brat I was. But I had fun with it nonetheless. Why they don't make these now I'll never know.

WEREDOG- They do make them now! I babysat for a 3 year old that had a Dora The Explorer set. My mom loved Colorforms when she was younger, and made sure I had them when I was young. I remember having A disney set, Sesame St, and Muppet Babies set.

I'm 33...does anyone remember a Disney (Mickey and crew) colorforms set that was a glow-in-the-dark haunted house? I LOVED it. If you turned off the lights, there were little ghosts and stuff, like the fish in the fishbowl would just glow as a skeleton. I swear I'm not making it up, but I have not been able to find any info on this set!

i had dozens of these when little in all kinds of chaters but didnt know what they were called till right now.

I had muppets. micky mouse, cabbage patch. my neighbor had smurfs one.

I remember the Mickey Mouse glow in the dark set! I had one of the Peanuts characters set from the '70s. I really loved those because I could stick them to the window also. :)
