Here is a selection of Trapdoor merchandise that I own (plus a couple of rather interesting others). I apologise for the poor quality of some of the images.

The Trapdoor Kitchen - a cookery book

A knitting pattern, showing a can of worms (1 of 3 in series)

The Trapdoor Cubs books (3 of 4 in the series)

The Trapdoor jigsaw puzzle

Berk's Trapdoor Game - board game

The Trapdoor Annual - 1987

The Trapdoor Dungeon - Make your own Trapdoor dungeon kit

The Trapdoor Annual - 1989

The Trapdoor Special - similar to annuals, but soft cover

The Trapdoor - another soft cover annual type book

11-20 Very rare and complete Berk & Boni posable characters

Berk plush. Aint he sweet :)

Through The Trapdoor - C64 re-release

The Trapdoor - Spectrum re-release

The Trapdoor plasticine clay

I've also got the videos, DVD and a keyring.

It's taken a fair amount of time and money to collect these - some are incredibly rare.

Berk & Boni were over £130 on eBay and the Berk plush was about £30.

WOW! What a collection you have, some of which I've never actually seen before. I'll have to talk with you at some stage about you're merchandise to help build our section on the site. Did you see the scans Stacey did of the annual?

Holy crap! I've never even heard of half of this stuff, especially the Bendy! All I have is the 1989 annual which I scanned a couple of months back, and the DVD.

Thanks for sharing!

No worrys. I'm still on the lookout for more merch though. I especially want to complete the set of Trapdoor Cubs books. The last in the series is called "Yechh!"

The TrapDoor Kitchen is a cookbook, with recipes for simple meals and snacks etc. that anyone can prepare. There are over 40 recipes.

Delights include -

Rogg's Eye Eggs
Boni's Yechh!
Beastly Burgers
Baked Boni's Bonce
Mash Mush
Fly Nibbles
Slimy Slabs
Worm Surprise

The recipes are divided into sections, based on starters, main dishes, snacks and desserts etc.

The book is packed with cartoon images of Berk and co. (with some nice full page photos, of the show, in the middle) but unfortunately there are no images of the actual foodstuffs :(

It's worth getting for the imagery alone, even if you don't follow any of the recipes.

those two books went for a fair bit on ebay a few weeks ago.. a fair amount for what they are anyway..

theres a few annuals, popping up to for silly prices..

i did win that 'Ello' book thing.. which is fantastic.
but it seems the more common of the lot.
