I just want to let you know that all opinions are my own and I may earn from qualifying purchases. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Enjoy and feel free to share with your friends!

This is practically a relic! Before there were e-book readers, i-Pads, tablets, in the Jurassic era of the ’70s, we had this! Mine was blue.  Actually, it was my brother’s, because back then, my uncle preferred to give me a Malibu Barbie instead of this! But, since girls grow faster than boys (until they catch up and grow faster when they turn around sixteen), I would grab this from my brother.  He is much much taller now, but I bet he will remember how I tried to get this from him and watch stills of Adam West in Batman!
And oh, this is called View-Master.  Mine (my brother’s, actually) was battery-operated (there was a tiny bulb like that of the flashlight’s that would turn on), and if the double-A batteries wouldn’t work anymore (even after I let them bake under the sun!), I would remove the back cover, go out (in the daylight of course.  Nighttime and you wouldn’t see anything!) and view stills.
Did you own a View Master way (waaaaaayyyy) back then?

    Yes! I remember in the 90s when my uncle went to Makkah for pilgrimage, and came back with one of those- it had snapshots of each of the steps of the pilgrimage. They're fun!

    • venessapaula1@gmail.com says

      January 10, 2013 at 2:18 pm

      Yup, I remembering seeing these in the 90s. They were a lot smaller than what we had, though ๐Ÿ™‚ .Did you also own the pixel chix?

    I also had a blue one when I was a kid! Before that, there was this older, more jurassic version…a black one that somebody lent to us. But I loved watching the fairy tales then. I believe they are still on sale until the 90's nga.

    • venessapaula1@gmail.com says

      January 10, 2013 at 2:19 pm

      Sadly, Aileen, what we had before are the old Batman tv series and a bunch of Nat Geo pixes. So I had to watch them over and over again.

    I remember this! Although I didn't own one but I had a chance to play with it with a cousin. These were really cool stuff back then just like the brick game. haha! No relation lang. Nkktuwa lang isipin mga panahon na yun. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • venessapaula1@gmail.com says

      January 10, 2013 at 2:20 pm

      I also had the brick game and oh, the game and watch. Did you have them? Plus, the tamagochi. Haha, missed those toys

    Yes!!! I sure did have a view master and a whole bunch of reels to keep me occupied for hours. I loved my view master. When I was little we went to Disney and my folks got me view master reels from there. Just loved them!!

      That was cool!I only had a few view master reels but it kept me entertained for hours too. I hope I can find my old one and show them to my kids. I wonder what there reaction will be!

    Yes I did! Wow I don't know where mine got to. Too much moving around.

    • venessapaula1@gmail.com says

      January 10, 2013 at 2:24 pm

      I had a grade school classmate who lost it in school, and the directress (Sr. Lilia) told her to learn her lesson from it.

    January 10, 2013 at 2:50 am

    Yes, I did and I made sure my daughters did also. I still think they're pretty cool! Reia

    • venessapaula1@gmail.com says

      January 10, 2013 at 2:25 pm

      January 10, 2013 at 2:26 pm

      Now you do lol.

    I think I'm too young to know this thing (no offense meant!), but it surely looks cool! ๐Ÿ™‚

    • venessapaula1@gmail.com says

      January 10, 2013 at 2:27 pm

      They were sold for a while in the 90s. They were a lot smaller. I remember my daughter having it in a goody bag (this is like around 2004), with Toy Story reels ๐Ÿ™‚

    January 10, 2013 at 6:32 am

    yes i do, hahaha same as the photo! it's one of my fave toys when i was young.. ๐Ÿ™‚

  12. Farida says

    January 10, 2013 at 8:22 am

    No but this reminded me of my childhood days when we would crowd around my cousin who owns one and patiently wait for our turn to view the photos.

    • venessapaula1@gmail.com says

      January 10, 2013 at 2:30 pm

      When we were kids, they were fascinating , right? What would kids now think about them though?

  13. Lisa Nelson says

    I wish, like Maan Laxa, I could say that I was too young. Well, I could I suppose but it wouldn't be true. I had this toy when I was a kid, and I'm not sure why I loved it so much. when I think about it, it was kind of a boring toy, but maybe I compare it with the stuff they have out today – you know the stuff that makes all the noise, talks, sings, does your math…

    This post certainly does bring back the memories though.

    Oh yes, I have those, too. Mine is I think even more vintage than this. Ha ha… thanks for sharing this, you gave me a new post material. ๐Ÿ™‚ Watch out for it!

    • venessapaula1@gmail.com says

      January 17, 2013 at 5:48 am

      Okay sis will wait for it!!!

    I never got a chance to have such toys. I think that time it was really expensive. One of my classmate have this toy.
