The Underview on 2001: Collectibles - Leisure Time

Comics
Various comics (above) have been produced based on concepts originating in 2001. I sometimes wonder what Stanley Kubrick might have thought of these awful things.
Space Oddity jigsaw
Oddity indeed. This is actually a jigsaw puzzle (above), produced to tie in with the frisbee craze.
Introduction to 2001
Another jigsaw (above) by Springbok, featuring artwork by Roy Carnon.
Lunar Models
Lunar Models (above - click) has been producing resin assembly kits for keen modelers for many years.

An impressive- looking, if complex, resin kit of the Discovery has also been produced under the brand name "Red Baron".
Introduction to 2001
This talking story book for children is another example of a recording based on 2001 (above - click for the main soundtracks / recordings page).
Assembly kits
There is an active market for any of the plastic assembly kits (above) or rare tinplate toys (below) based on 2001subjects.
Tinplate Moon Bus
Pentominos
Stanley Kubrick filmed an alternative to the famous chess- playing scene between Frank and Hal, using the more futuristic- looking game of Pentominos instead of chess. Parker Brothers put this game into production, using two rare unused stills from the film on its box lid (above).
Comforter cover
Snuggle time with this comforter cover.
Role playing game
Role playing game packs are available for both 2001 and 2010.
Madelman 2001 action man
Madelman's "action man" style 2001 astronaut, sold in the early 1970s, is rarely seen on the open market.
Patches
Patches (above) to sew on your own anora- er, space overalls.
Arcade pinball machine
Odyssey SF magazine
Space Odyssey software
Nothing at all to do with 2001, except that name (above). Left to right: the flyer for an arcade pinball machine (one of several examples); Odyssey science- fiction magazine; space exploration software CD for PC / Mac.
