Show us your MMMS (pre 1971) and other Marvel Non Comic Items

[HighVoltage]

I think I got the binders & unused notebook from Flying Donut.

 

You did!

 

The 60s stuff doesn't do much for me, but I'd I'd LOVE to get more 70s stuff, basically anything that was advertised in a Marvel book from 1975-1978.

 

 

And, THANK YOU, Donut! You know who to PM when you find those lovely 70's items!

 

I agree about the 70's stuff - I find it a bit closer to my heart. I used to look at those ads in the comics & just daydream about having that stuff. I've got one of the rocket-car/hotwheels kinda gun-type launcher things around here. I gotta dig that out. I've got most of the hotwheels cars. Got 2 of the three 'big head' plastic banks (Hulk & Spidey, but no Thing yet). And a coupla more posters. One is a GREAT Surfer poster that I'll have to post for you guys. It's one you never see come up.

 

And Jimbo, if I ever find that black & white Steranko Spidey poster, I'm gonna pass out! I've never seen one yet. I think there was a set of four posters, including that Spidey. I can't remember offhand if Steranko did them all or not. Seems like one was a Neal Adams Dracula.

 

Man, I love this thread! Thanks for the photo & info about the veri/flicker rings. Those are on my 'want list,' too.

The MARVEL RINGS that I have are of the heads of superheroes. They are Spider-Man, Iron Man, HULK, Thor, and Captain America. Nothing like the flicker rings. These are made of plastic. I haven't seen them around since I originally got them from a gumball machine back in the 60's. I never even see them at conventions. They might be pretty scarce.

What? No Slurpee cups??

I just picked up a couple of cool figures tonight that I thought were pretty neat. I know they're not vintage items, but heck, I'm in Japan and all my vintage stuff is back in the States.

 

These appear to be made here in Japan and are put out by a company called Happinet.

Here are two note pads and there's a third out there as well that had just Dooms face and quote on it.

 

 

I have those two pads and two additional ones. The large one with Reed on it is the exact same size as the large pad you posted, but the pages are different: Some are of Reed, the Silver Surfer, Spider-man, Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor. The small pad with Thing and Doom is the same size as the small scribble pad.

 

[ComicBookGuy]

And here's the envelopes that go with the notes. The small envelope has the Thing on one side and a seal on the other. The one with Doom is business size and no seal on the reverse:

Add in the MMMS bucks w Doom on them. One of the goofier and common items.

Here's a full sticker sheet....

 

[dc360]

Is this kind of stuff still available on ebay? I don't even know what i'd search to find this stuff, even though i adore all of it.

 

Stupid being born 30 years too late....

[Red Hook]

Don't worry, you'll still be walking around having fun 25 years after the rest of us are wormfood!

Here's a full sticker sheet....

 

 

I've got a sticker sheet just like that, as well as a couple of cut-up stickers that are on pink paper. The funny thing is, it's impossible to tell whether they were cut by Marvel and sent to MMMS members that way or as sheets (I've heard both). I'm also not 100% sure that the sticker sheet i have is "original" or if it's just a copy printed on colored paper (which may have been how Marvel did it in the first place). I've never seen a sheet that seemed very "sticky" on the back side; mine doesn't seem sticky at all, though I haven't licked it to find out for certain. In any case, these sticker sheets could be very easily faked.

 

Nevertheless, a cool item...

[ComicBookGuy]

I have the pink and the orange sticker sheets and will have to check the backs of them to see if they're sticky or not.

 

In the meantime, here are the two MMMS records. The first one is the red one and was released in the first wave of the club with the "ugly" button. The light blue one is a later record. The bullpen sings on these things. Pretty horrid musically but cool Marvel history nevertheless...

 

 

If you want to hear one of these, follow this link:

 

MMMS Song

 

Here are the lyrics:

 

"Stand a little straighter. Walk a little prouder. Be an innovator. Clap a little louder. Grow forever greater. We can show you how to. Where will you be then? You belong, you belong, you belong, you belong to the Merry Marvel Marching Society. March along, march along, march along to the song of the Merry Marvel Marching Society. If you growl, if you grown with a down sour outlook, if you howl, if you moan, you can lose your sour grout by keeping trim and in step with the vim and the pep of the Merry Marvel Marching Society. Be an early riser. Strive to be ambitious. Speak a little wiser. Try to be judicious. Be a good advisor, never ever vicious. Where will you be then?

 

"Face front... Lift your head... You're on the winning team... 'NUFF SAID! You belong, you belong, you belong, you belong to the Merry Marvel Marching Society. March along, march along, march along to the song of the Merry Marvel Marching Society. If you growl, if you groan, and your star is nearly zero, do not howl, do not moan, you can be a superhero, marching right along to the fighting song of the Merry Marvel Marching Society. Stand a little straighter. Walk a little prouder. Be an innovator. Clap a little louder. Grow forever greater. We can show you how to. Where will you be then...."

Here are the reverse sides of the records. They each have folding flaps at the tops:

My sticker sheet does have a lightly "sticky" back. If you touched it, it would leave a fingerprint in the glue.
