'The Flintstones' Movie Advertising Mobile

It's been a long time since we posted anything Flintstones but I've been trying my darndest to clear things out of The Cave (doesn't appear to be working) and I came across this box marked 

'FLINTSTONES MOBILE DOMESTIC'

I had never opened the thing since buying it many years ago!! DOH! I didn't know what the heck was in it and thought for sure it was a toy of some sort. To my surprise it was an advertising display for the movie "The Flintstones" which came out in 1994. The mobile was still in great shape except that the large cardboard piece had bent after years of storage. The display consists of a main piece, two "THE FLINTSTONES" hangers, two Bamm-Bamm/Dino hangers, and a clip with string to hang the mobile from the ceiling. If one were to hang this up I imagine the cardborad would eventually straighten out as the weight of the display would cause it to bend back to it's original shape - or?

The main display is in the form of the Flintstones car with the main cast of characters riding in it. Bamm-Bamm and Dino appear to be sitting on the roof of the car. The main display is 25 1/2" (64.77cm) H x 19 1/2" (49.53cm) W. "THE FLINTSTONES" hanger is 14 1/2" (36.83cm) L x 6 1/2" (16.51cm) H. The Bamm-Bamm/Dino hanger is 8 /3/4" (22.22cm) W x 7 1/4" (18.41cm) H. The mobile is now for sale on eBay.

Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
