Blast from the Past stuff

[EmmaInCandyland]

They've been mentioned on other threads. Found these a while ago. They are super rare to find. They are from the brand blue Q. They were outcuts of cat and babies that you could place within your home. They can stand up too.

By the way, the correct version of the flat cat is this one, but it's rather difficult to find it (it has a uniform gradient):

thanks any other photos that are on that site get posted here ? the infant photos at the wrong angle & I didn't see the right version to buy online .

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

As I said, they are really hard to find. The first versions appeared in 1988. I have found the instant infant. But I am still on the look out for the flat cat. I have seen only one for sale for the past 5 years and I missed it :/.

This is where it all started, an ad from Canon from 1987:

I think its by By Arnoud van den Heuvel , I don't think they sold well . I found others but not the cat

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

I have found one on etsy from last November, but I was too late when I've seen it, it already had sold :x

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

Well, looks that I am a pretty lucky one x)

Just scored the cat, and found it in the UK!

Huh. Must have been a stock photo series of a cat. The Canon Cat is / was a very early GUI computer, before the Apple Macintosh, IIRC.

Just saw a dustbuster plus 9334 at a goodwill near me.

There are two different Dustbusters in the store. Emma's missing the big one in the window, which is much rarer.

 

[MattgomeryBurns]
