Just noticed this now ? You are about 33 years behind !
These are original wrappers from 1980, with a cutout of the original box. As far as collector's go, these are worth US$150 each. Note the date on these is 1980
. I have a few of these laminated as well. My collection is worth well over $50,000. Last count, i had 76 Tour T-shirts and the rarest T-Shirt from the first tour - before they had "official" marketing !
Since these guys are the most likely the most marketed band in history, the question is often asked - "how ?" - Simple, Companies GO TO THEM. Condoms, lunch boxes, action figures, Kiss Koffins to a real KISS car that was produced by Chrysler. "Brands" know that you put a KISS logo on them, it sells.
Don't blame KISS for the Icy Poles, this was Peter's Ice Creams cashing in on the Australian Tour. Same with the Beer, and Wine.. etc etc. Oh yea, Gene and Paul make HEAPS of cash for doing nothing but being KISS.
Just as a guide - I've been asked TWICE this week about "where can I get a good KISS pinball ?"
