At my Grandmothers house, in the attic, lived a Weebles Haunted House. I played with it like mad as a child and then one day, when I was older, I saw the treasure chest and thought.......
That would be great for my Action figures!!!
I mean ... look at it!!!! To cool for Weebles!!!
Its a pile of treasure inside and a couple of bats to boot !!!
Crap!! Warduke!!! I was just LOOKING at it!!! He has some anger issues.......
ANYWAY............. this piece lends itself to some great play. It was made for the D&D figures. I had alot of the AD&D pvc figures but not the ones with treasure so this chest was a main theme for quests. Alot of blood was shed over that plastic chest!!
.....and it is really cool to think, as a kid, their are toys that can be transferred to other adventures. That Haunted House is long gone to a landfill somewhere but this little piece became a treasure chest of memories!!!
This is almost exactly like the treasure chest that came with an Adventure People set I had back in the day. http://tinyurl.com/78r44wc (auction is not mine -- just linking for the purpose of the picture)
ReplyDeleteThats pretty close! They probably used the same mold and modified it a bit.
