Today is Friday the 13th which seems like the perfect opportunity to share some cool Jason Vorhees themed bits of Wax Paper Pop Art, but alas none exist. This reminds me of one of my favorite blogs that is sadly defunct, the Bubblegum Fink. BF was a huge influence on Branded, and one of the really cool things he did was to create sets of digital trading cards that aped the style of Topps sets back in the 70s and 80s. One of my favorite would-be sets was for Friday the 13th, and it would have been awesome had it actually existed. I never saved any of the images sadly, but here’s a post of someone else who took notice of these awesome pieces of should-be-nostalgia…
Anyway, in lieu of simplistic Hockey Mask art I thought I’d share a set of some of my favorite Topps card wrappers from the Masters of the Universe series circa 1984…
These images, in particular of He-Man and Skeletor were very prevalent on MOTU merchandising back in the day. Actually both of them also grace the two Lazer Blazer sticker sets as well. It’s kind of cool to get a chance to see the same image in so many iterations over the years…
