IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTE: There is a slit/opening in the plastic wrapping on the front of the package near the pens. Because of this opening, a small amount of tiny debris/dust has worked its way underneath the plastic over the years. This can be seen upon close inspection and is mentioned for complete accuracy and transparency. Offered here is an exceptionally scarce original 1979 Battle of the Planets Poster Pen Set, produced by Craft House Corporation of Toledo, Ohio and officially licensed by Sandy Frank Film Syndication, Inc. Catalog / Item No. This is not a modern reproduction or reissue. It is an original period Battle of the Planets collectible dating to 1979, when the series was first becoming a television phenomenon in the United States.

Unlike the more commonly encountered Battle of the Planets coloring books, comics and later merchandise, this particular Craft House #47901 Poster Pen Set is extremely difficult to find-especially complete and still sealed. The exact Poster Pen Set is documented by specialist Battle of the Planets collector references, yet examples appear very infrequently on the secondary market. Finding one that has apparently survived for nearly five decades still packaged with its original markers and artwork is particularly unusual. The colorful package features some of the most recognizable characters and imagery from the series, including Mark and the G-Force team, making it an outstanding display piece even without opening it.
