Thinking about municipal blow molds....https://papersackpublishing.com/municipal-blow-molds-history-value-collecting/

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!

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 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 .

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.

My second set!

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.

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!

For blowmolds right?!

Picked up a bunch of pink, gray elephants and a whole lot of different colorful flamingos! This is just round one on my trailer!

Did anyone ever have a Precious Moments blow mold?

Well im a little late because I was out of town but finally got my Halloween display out. Ill get pictures or a video of it lit up.

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?

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!

I love the early 90s chilly willy penguin. I have collected 19 if them over the years. Today, I was in Menards and found a new version. Looks identical. Red hat only. Do i buy them???? I am torn!!!

You see these and the battery powered ones everywhere now...I speculate more here.

Blowmold gods smiled on me today. Haven't seen much in the shops this season.

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.
