Vintage Christmas – King Santa Bank / Light

What makes this guy “King” in the land of the Santas? Not only is he a light, but he’s also a BANK… That’s right shove some coin into his back and he’ll hold it until you’re ready to smash him on the ground to get it out.

Just be careful, because of genius design, the bulb is in the same place the coins are- Chuck a half dollar in there and you could have a smashed bulb, resulting in removal from the throne..

Such is the way in the cut-throat world of Christmas…

He’s about 7″ tall… And made in the USA (which, by my calculation, dates him to sometime in the 1800′s)

You can click on the photos (and then again on the next page) for a larger view.

It’s a 2 page promo sheet to the Don Bluth arcade game Dragon’s Lair. The game hit the market on July 1st, 1983.

Using “Laser Disc Technology” they were able to pack 22 min of animation into a beautiful, yet utterly unplayable, arcade game.

hmmmm.. nothing like smashing the barrell into the wall.. over and over.. dollar after dollar…

Never played “Space Ace”… Wonder if the controls were as useless as Dragon’s Lair?

And now you can play it on your iPhone.
