THE BLACK HOLE VIEWMASTER

Some more View-Master photos, this time from the 1979 Disney film, The Black Hole. Way back in 1979 I would have been looking through the plastic lenses of my View-Master viewer, but as the transparencies are fairly small, and the photo quality certainly isn't HD , these enlarged images  leave a little to be desired when it comes to sharpness. 

The images used are a forced 3-D using what looks like combinations and montages of publicity shots, so a bit of a cheat, but still a nice piece of nostalgic Black Hole merchandise. 

MICRONAUGHTY

 I may have blogged these before but Lockdown has wiped my memory banks!

Micronauts-type knockoffs listed on old auction sites.

Have you got any?

Rubber guy and ship by Arco

Force Commander - it even says Micronauts in Italian!

Cassette 1 Helicopter - love it. 

C60 action!

Space Tank BT-1.  BT British Telecom never looked so good!

DOCTOR WHO 'FULL CIRCLE' VIEWMASTER

 I've casually collected TV or film related Viewmaster reels over the years. Squinting through the Viewmaster viewer and seeing the 3-D effect was certainly novel to my young eyes . Nowadays, I only really pick them up for the nostalgic value, but I still find them fun.

Here's the Tom Baker one from 1980 featuring 3-D stills from 'Full Circle'. I can't say its my favourite story from his last season but its still nice to have.  Sadly, no 3-D effect for you, and the quality of the enlarged slides is evident, but I hope you enjoy them anyway. By the way, check out the price, £1.99 from Woolworths.
