Lenticular Wish List
« on: January 07, 2025, 08:24:42 PM »
So there were those lenticular (motion) cards in Flashback I and II series. Run Tony, Slaytex, Bandaches and Cram were great. What OS titles would people like to see made into a motion card?

You really need to change your avatar. When I read your words, I'm hearing the voice of Napoleon Dynamite in my head. LOL!

I answered a similar question in the pre-Lent era (circa 2000), for a survey on what Wackys we wanted to see animated. A partial list:

Tic Toc
Dynamites
Heave (just kidding)
Run Tony, Gyppy Pop (since made into Lents)

Other possibilities: Blisterine, Scorch, the Saturday Evening Ghost.

Who would win the fight:  Batman or Superman?
Who would win the race:  a centaur or a minotaur?
If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

Glad you like them! I created these especially for the flashback sets. A lot of pre-planning went into each one and I wasn't sure how we'd pull it off given the budget. But I'm really glad Topps was willing to take the risk and produce them! Most designs were based on characters that had an exaggerated sense of movement (Run Tony, fot example), although we bent this rule to accommodate more popular characters.

 At some point, I'll try and dig up the individual pieces that made up each card and post them here, so people can see the motion more clearly. Stay tuned...

P.S.-any fool knows that Superman is 50 times more powerful than Batman and would win a fair fight. Now, Hulk v. Thor gets interesting….

I have made the suggestion in the past, they should re-release 1-16 with Lenticular showing the original product and the way back in forth in the Lenticular.

Make it a Kickstarter so if it does not fund, there is no risk!

Yeah, you're right, "The Hulk vs. Thor: who would win?" is a subject that's been debated for decades. My guess is that it would depend on which one of the Hulk's alters that Thor is fighting at the time.
