These things come with various licenced trim packages, and are still being made (internet shows one in "Frozen" livery). They are sold in a toy set with equally crappy binoculars and flashlight. Strange that film cameras, even toy ones are still around now that digital toy ones are cheaper.
Give points to the design guys, this collection of injection molded plastic cleverly fits together into a working (almost) film camera.
Neat, I wanted the Spiderman one but it was broken..
price was right, and it was yellow half price day!!!
..features a folding "sports" viewfinder..
..a working self setting frame counter..
..and that all so forever friendly MLP lens.
The strength of the plastic bits used to make this camera almost guarantees breakage around frame 8 or so. This would be a good thing as any dad kind enough to buy a roll of film would be saved the cost of processing. Careful film advance, a couple of feet of electrical tape, and unloading without rewind in the bag was the only way to coax a set of extremely fuzzy images from this thing.
Like I said before, my corner of this great hobby... so here's some pix, slight crops and general tidy-ups as usual.
