OK, so you've missed the first 15 weeks of the MOLDVILLE CLUB-A-RAMA (the HOTEI, EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, BEACH GIRL, FLYING SAUCER PT-BOAT, SPACE NEEDLE, LION, CLOCK OF THE NATIONS, FRANKENSTEIN BANK, Eldin Irwin's SNOWMAN, GATEWAY ARCH, CANADIAN MAPLE LEAF EXPO '67, GRIZZLY BEAR, MGM FLIPPER, DIVING HORSE, and KEWPIE DOLL), and so those figures are NOT included in this auction, as you've missed those. But the GREAT news is that I am offering you a last-chance opportunity to join for the remaining 37 weeks (if you renew after this subscription runs out). This auction is for the remaining 11 weeks of the second quarter. (ONLY the remaining portion of the SECOND QUARTER ONLY) of a YEAR long subscription to the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as a participant in the upcoming MOLD a week in the club-a-rama subscription series made available by using a vintage "Disneyland Toy Factory" originally made in 1963 for the MOLD-A-RAMA company of Los Angeles. (MOLDVILLE is not affiliated with Mold-A-Rama, Inc. of Chicago, IL, nor with the 1960s company Mold-A-Rama, Inc. of Los Angeles, original operator of this Disneyland Toy Factory.) If you renew for each available quarter, the subscription can continue for up to the remaining portion of an available YEAR (52 WEEKS!) The ONE TIME ONLY, year-long subscription started on September 5, 2011, and at this point you've missed the first 15 weeks of production of a figure a week, but there are lots of weeks left to participate in! The MOLDVILLE machine is an original Disneyland Toy Factory which operates on a single quarter (25c). It has been painstakingly preserved and refurbished in its original form, inside and out. This particular machine was built just before the 1964 New York World's Fair, and was last used in 1976, probably at the Ohio State Fair. When retired it was producing Pluto figures, the Pluto mold being on the machine and some original old-wax Pluto figures being found strewn about inside the machine. Most importantly, the MOLDVILLE machine has many, many, many original molds with it. Not the wax figures; I'm talking about the aluminum mold halves themselves that push together to make the figures. (For those inquiring minds, the best information is that the Disneyland Toy Factory machines were NOT ever at Disneyland. But they most certainly WERE at the 1964 New York World's Fair, used to mold various figures, including of course the '64 NY World's Fair symbol- the UNISPHERE!)(There is a SECOND MOLD machine that I will sell outfitted with one of the one-of-a-kind moldsets used in the Club-A-Rama. If you are interested in that, please contact us!) The Club-A-Rama is intended as an excuse to get me in my garage to play with my new Mold machine, which it has done with the members who have bought a 'subscription' for 1 years' worth of figures (52 DIFFERENT figures), shipped monthly (4 at a time), including some otherwise commonly seen figures, some not-so-commonly seen figures, and most importantly some EXTREMELY RARELY SEEN figures. While the exact figures to be molded will not be disclosed ahead of time, the rarest molds remaining to be used OVER THE YEAR include molds used at: the 1962 SEATTLE World's Fair, at the 1964-65 NEW YORK World's Fair, at the 1967 MONTREAL Expo, at GRAUMAN'S CHINESE THEATER in HOLLYWOOD for movie premiers; etc. IMPORTANT NOTE: These molds are all SOMEWHERE within the 52 week subscription which you will be certain to receive if you subscribe for the entire year. If you do not re-subscribe after this first half, you will not receive many of these I just listed or shown in the photos included with this auction. With this 18 week subscription you will be sure to get a few of those mentioned. To get them ALL, remember to renew your subscription for the full year to be sure to get them all! Each week, on Moldville Mondays (or lately its been on the Friday before), I will post at our website MOLDVILLE (and on our Facebook page called "MOLDVILLE", photos and/or a VIDEO clip of the Moldville machine making that week's featured figure.
