    These are pretty much totally forgotten now but I remember them being really popular in the 70's and 80's. They were these kind of action stickers which you transferred onto a surface by rubbing on them, usually with a pencil and transferring them onto a backdrop to create a scene. I remember a Star Wars one we had when I was very young, probably for Empire Strikes Back. I also remember Roman Soldier and cowboy themed ones.

    Kalkitos was the name of the ones I used to get. Was moving house back in 03 and found an old one featuring Road runner and Wil E Coyote. Had to be around since early 80s.

    I remember an A-Team and Knight Rider ones of these?
    Didn't some come with a 'cardboard scene' you could transfer them on?

    Yes that's right, they usually did.
