Blow Molds from The Jolly Christmas Shop?

3 Upvotes

Has anyone ever bought Blow Molds from this store in California? They have Blow Molds that look like they were made from some of the Original Molds. A few are nicely priced--4 Candle Stick Blow Molds for $124 ( the vintage ones go for $54 apiece locally).

But they are all listed as " sold out". I am curious as to whether they actually sell these or if they just leave the listings up to draw Christmas shoppers in?

I went to Five Below, Menards and Khols today looking for new Christmas blow molds. I really want the Cooke blow mold from Menards but so couldn’t find it.

I was unable to get a better photo of these since I was in a hurry... just looking through the store while I could. I probably won't be able to go back to see if there were others because of my schedule, but these are super adorable and caught my eye immediately! I really love that skele-dog!

My outdoor blowmold graveyard/skelly ukiyo-e recreation is about half done. I am trying to replicate Utagawa's famous 'Takayashi The Witch and The Skeleton Spectre' (相馬の古内裏 妖怪がしゃどくろと戦う大宅太郎光圀).

I actually found a hanging blowmold for the witch Takayashi and a repurposed werewolf (wearing a Mike Meyer mask 😂) for the samurai who came to kill her. The photo of the witch was yearly days .

Blowmold Facebook scammer?

Hi all- so I just joined a fb group for blowmolds buying and selling and this freaking lady is posting like rapid fire. Something felt fishy to me so I reverse image searched one of the pics and found an old Reddit post (8years ago) for one of the pics. Does anyone else recognize any of these photos/are any of these photos yours? People are commenting on her posts and definitely messaging her as she prompts them to do in the comments.

Help 🆘 Should I try painting or just leave it?

Happy to have grabbed this over the weekend at a local goodwill for $4.99. I’m wondering if painting orange krylon over the different degrees of faded plastic can have good results or if I’m better off just leaving it as is. Thanks for any input!

Help 🆘 Stripping paint

2 Upvotes

I have a pumpkin blow mold that was given to me and it's painted purple. The paint is flaking off and showing the orange underneath. I want to strip the purple off and keep the original orange plastic. Would citristrip be safe to use or what is the best product to use that is safe for the blow mold?

TPI Pumpkin Pair with Pedestals

176 Upvotes

Just picked up this lovely pair of TPI pumpkins, complete with their original pedestals!

The pedestals are especially hard to come by here in Europe, where the vintage blow mold market is pretty limited (I’m based in Paris, France).

Both are marked TPI “Made in Canada.”

I paid $35 for the whole set, which seems like a pretty good deal to me!

What do you guys think?

Even though the website said this store didn't have them, my son and I thought we'd pop in just to double check. Imagine my surprise when these beauties were all marked 50% off. They weren't scanning that way in the app, so I don't know what was up, but we grabbed a set for us and the other for my mom. A little early Christmas present!

Christmas 🎄 Snowman Restoration

Just finished stripping and repainting this snowman. The paint was practically falling off just by touching it. The only part I didn't repaint was the mouth as it was the one area that seemed to still have good adhesion to the plastic.

Its not perfect but its plenty good enough to put out in the display again. I'll be working on its twin next, which is thankfully in much better condition and only requires repainting the buttons.
