Amidst our random searches on eBay we often stumble upon weird and wonderful treasures.
This week I present to you: Bandersnatch
"Bandersnatch" was a board game made in 1969 (according to the ebay listing) so maybe some of you remember this weirdness? I sure don't.
"Pass the cards... Grab the spinner... Build a Bandersnatch... You're the winner!"
A Bandersnatch in his natural habitat!
Most eBay Oddities don't look that appealing to me, but this one kinda does.
AAAHHH Bandersnatch.Sounds like a bad word in German.1969 is way before my time but this game looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteYup, way before my time as well. But look at that little guy! He has a face only a mother could love!
ReplyDeleteA Bandersnatch is a fictional creature from Lewis Carroll's 1872 novel Through the Looking-Glass and 1874 poem "The Hunting of the Snark". Although neither poem describes the appearance of a Bandersnatch in great detail, in "The Hunting of the Snark" it has a long neck and snapping jaws, and both works describe it as ferocious and extraordinarily fast. Through the Looking-Glass implies that Bandersnatches may be found in the world behind the looking-glass, and in "The Hunting of the Snark", a Bandersnatch is found by a party of adventurers after crossing an ocean. Bandersnatches have appeared in various adaptations of Carroll's works; they have also been used in other authors' works and in other forms of media.
