70s Glow in the dark toy

[karsharn]

Hi all - just found this place and I hope you can answer a few things that are bugging me. First I remember getting some kind of glow in the dark figures in about 1973, they were made of a soapy kind of material and were called Ghost Globber Green ( a ghost - natch ) Panicky Pink (an owl - why is that scary ? ) and Batty Blue (a bat) also included in the pack was a bottle of glow in the dark paint called 'Lightning Bug Glow Juice' but I cant for the life of me remember any more about them - anyone else remember them ?

Secondly I had some kind of legoish construction toy - a bit like technical lego but not compatable. Again this would be early 70's and it was bought in Tescos

Cheers

.......and as for your Lego type bricks I think you are refering to K'Nex who are incidentally celebrating their 15th anniversary at the moment

Hiya

I too had lightning bug glow juice, it was a present from my brother and as I recall it came by itself. We painted a face on the inside of the bedroom door which frightened my mum when she came to say goodnight to us, and I remember some got spilled onto the sheets - which never washed out.

Do you reckon it was radioactive - I have since heard a lot of 'glow' stuff was.

I have mentioned this juice to loads of people but no one has heard of it - I was beginning to think I was unique in owning it.
