Tombstone / Gravestone toy

And we are still here!

I still look at this thread from time to time and marvel at how helpful and just plain lovely folk you’ve never met before can be!

I hadn't seen this thread before but the first post reminded me of a sweet thing i had as a kid (sorry not related to this toy which i'm glad you finally found!) - where the box was a plastic coffin shape and the "candy" inside was shaped like bones etc. They only seemed to be available from our local Newsagent one year for a short time but I remember buying them as myself and a mate were obsessed with Scream/Horror Cards/Paranormal type stuff.

Here’s the packaging

Cool. Dead thread revival. My mom bought me one at Kay-Bee toys in 1983. Never seen or meet anyone else that had one. I remember there were a couple of different styles. [ATTACH=CONFIG]5136[/ATTACH]

Thank for posting. This is one of those memories that has haunted me for decades - it's nice to know I wasn't going mad!

When I get a chance, I'll take some photos of it "in action".
It's not over yet!

We do love a happy ending here at DYR, and I've said it before all the BEST memories take a while to find!
Thanks for the picture Brer and finally giving us the end result!!

Re: Tombstone / Gravestone toy

Just out of a long and internet free client conference and - YAAAAAAYYY! Wow - just as I remember it. Ideal Toy Co. My brain is certain the individual designs has clever pun-names - but I could be (and probably am) wrong - so I'm going to hang up my hat and say Memory - REMEMBERED! (Like Mythbusters....oh never mind!) Thank you all for your hard work - especially Brer Bunny and Huggie74 - you guys ROCK. Incidentally - if anyone does get more info by Goggling the image - I'd love to hear it. Thank you.

Re: Tombstone / Gravestone toy

I contacted the ebay seller a few days ago on behalf of the forum asking for a picture of the catalogue page with the Tombs on, no reply so far

Has Sculpher actually seen this yet?

No so lets bump the photo

Here we are, the long awaited photo.
Unfortunately most of the oil has gone, although there is still some blood inside!

It seems these toys were either not very popular or they were prone to disappearing! Am I the only person in possession of one? Internet searching has so far not revealed any evidence to the contrary!
Thanks for the links, SixtyTen. I was going to post similar until I saw you were already ahead of the game.

Brer told me via PM.... If anyone has an I-phone, they might like to try searching for it on Google Goggles, which can find related images.

Iphone anyone?
