===Erotic card deck===
Mandrake feature on 3 cards in an erotic ''complete'' card deck consisting of 48 card:
*Alley Oop (10&spades;, 5<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>, 6<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>, 11<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>),
*Dick Tracy (8&spades;),
*Lady Luck (3&spades;, 2&clubs;, 3&clubs;, 7&clubs;, 6<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>, 12<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>),
*Little King (4<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>),
*Maggie (''only'' 9&spades;, 5<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>) and Jiggs (9&spades;, 5<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>, 7<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>, 8<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>),
*Mandrake the Magician (12&spades;, 11&clubs;, 4<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>),
*Mutt and Jeff (7<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>, 8&clubs;),
*Pete the Tramp (11&spades;, 9&clubs;, 10&clubs;),
*The Phantom (2&spades;, 7&spades;, 5&clubs;),
*Lord Plushbottom (12&clubs;),
*Popeye (12<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>, 2<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>) and Olive Oyl (''only'' 2<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>),
*Smilin’ Jack (4&spades;, 6&spades;, 10&clubs;, 1<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>, 3<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>),
*The Spirit (5&spades;, 8<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>, 9<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>, 1&clubs;, 7<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>, 10<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>),
*Superman (9<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span>),
*Tarzan (6&clubs;),
*Tillie the Toiler (1&spades;, 1<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>, 2<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>, 3<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>, 10<span style="color: red">&diams;</span>).
The origins of this deck are somewhat uncertain, possibly first made in Cuba in late 30 / early 40s. The oldest ones are in b/w with the 4 different suits written in Spanish: Espada (&spades; - Spades), Oro (<span style="color: red">&diams;</span> - Diamond), Basto (&clubs; - Clubs) and Copa (<span style="color: red">&hearts;</span> - Hearts). One oddity with this deck is that it does not exist a 4-Basto or a 11-Copa, but there are two different cards with 10-Basto and 7-Copa.
 
The colored version of this deck looks something newer, and the reverse can be with a blue pattern or just white. It also appears that this deck may have been reprinted in recent years, both with Spanish and Italian text ''(Spade, Denari, Bastoni and Coppe)''.
 
There is some evidence that different decks may have existed in the 40s with another numbering and sometimes with other illustrations. It exists black and white single cards where the 4 suits is written slightly differently: Espadas, Oros, Bastos and Copas, with another numbering and sometimes other illustrations.
 
==Clothing Articles & Accessories==
===Cloth Patch===
====Gandalf Products (?)====
In the 1970s several embroidered cloth patch featuring comic characters were made, among them also one featuring "Mandrake the Magician". Comparing this one with other patches one find similar patches with '''KFS &copy;''' below the character for "The Phantom", "Prince Valiant", "The Little King", "Felix", "Snuffy Smith", "Maw Smith", "Jugheid",  "Beetle Bailey" and "Sarge". Interesting is that the pictures of "Mandrake the Magician" and "The Phantom" are the same as the [[Spotlight on Sunday strip layout|logo]] used on the Sunday pages in the 1950s.

Various comic books from Western Publishing Company in the years 1972 to 1976 have ads from Gandalf Products Co ''(New York, N.Y.)'' featuring the patches of "Flash Gordon, "Popeye" and "Felix". Looking at the original packaging, it seems that those patches marked with '''KFS &copy;''' are the oldest and was sold by Three Fish Inc ''(Atlanta, Georgia)''. These were sold as ''"Stick-A-Patch" '' and probably had some kind of glue on the back.
 
Most ''"Stick-A-Patch"'' have no copyright year printed on the packaging, but quite recently a patch with "The Phantom" with the original packaging has printed &copy; 1972 on it. Some patches have other packaging like ''"Americas Most Wanted Emblems"'' and ''"Swiss Embroidered Emblem"'' and is intended for sewing instead of sticking on something.

The pictures in the story ''(Phantom contro i pirati)'' inside were missing 60 parts, which could be completed by adding a sticker. This story is the same as in the German "Abenteuer" released by Americana München ''(Edizioni Flash)'' in 1971. At the last page there is mentioned the chewing gum: "Nevada"; the bubble gums: "Mandrake", "Rin Tin Tin", "Bang" and "Tatu"; the lollipops: "Susetta" and "Gelatella". Most likely this is the "Mandrake" bubble gum cigarettes. The "Rin Tin Tin" bubble gum have wrappers with panels from newspaper strips inside. Although all wrappers are marked with July it looks like there were issued three different series. One with single panels in black and white, one with single panels in color, and one with three or four panels in color. 
 
Interesting the picture as on the cover of the sticer album was also used in a bubble gum series with the "Phantom". The panels on these wrappers from are lifted from the Sunday stories "The Lions of Kukhan" and "The Black Gold Pirates" from 1967/1968. These panels do not seem to reproduce the entire stories.

===Gran Match===
In 1982 the kiosks in Argentine sold the "Album de figuritas '''''Gran Match''' de los súper famosos''". The ''"paper bag"'' was shaped as a soccer field and the figures ''(after cut out and glued ?)'' were put on to make a soccer game diorama. The figures who made up 20 teams of Argentine football were done by Félix Saborido.  Each team had 11 players lifted from famous characters from TV, movies, cartoons, cartoon or pop culture. Some of the players are: Mandrake for "Talleres de Córdoba", Lothar for "Estudiantes de Santiago del Estero", [[The Phantom]] for "Racing" and on.
 
The "Gran Match" was ''reprinted'' each year and sold when the schools started in March.

Erotic card deck

Mandrake feature on 3 cards in an erotic complete card deck consisting of 48 card:

  • Alley Oop (10♠, 5♦, 6♦, 11♦),
  • Dick Tracy (8♠),
  • Lady Luck (3♠, 2♣, 3♣, 7♣, 6♥, 12♥),
  • Little King (4♦),
  • Maggie (only 9♠, 5♥) and Jiggs (9♠, 5♥, 7♥, 8♥),
  • Mandrake the Magician (12♠, 11♣, 4♥),
  • Mutt and Jeff (7♦, 8♣),
  • Pete the Tramp (11♠, 9♣, 10♣),
  • The Phantom (2♠, 7♠, 5♣),
  • Lord Plushbottom (12♣),
  • Popeye (12♦, 2♥) and Olive Oyl (only 2♥),
  • Smilin’ Jack (4♠, 6♠, 10♣, 1♥, 3♥),
  • The Spirit (5♠, 8♦, 9♦, 1♣, 7♥, 10♥),
  • Superman (9♥),
  • Tarzan (6♣),
  • Tillie the Toiler (1♠, 1♦, 2♦, 3♦, 10♦).

The origins of this deck are somewhat uncertain, possibly first made in Cuba in late 30 / early 40s. The oldest ones are in b/w with the 4 different suits written in Spanish: Espada (♠ - Spades), Oro (♦ - Diamond), Basto (♣ - Clubs) and Copa (♥ - Hearts). One oddity with this deck is that it does not exist a 4-Basto or a 11-Copa, but there are two different cards with 10-Basto and 7-Copa.

The colored version of this deck looks something newer, and the reverse can be with a blue pattern or just white. It also appears that this deck may have been reprinted in recent years, both with Spanish and Italian text (Spade, Denari, Bastoni and Coppe).

There is some evidence that different decks may have existed in the 40s with another numbering and sometimes with other illustrations. It exists black and white single cards where the 4 suits is written slightly differently: Espadas, Oros, Bastos and Copas, with another numbering and sometimes other illustrations.

Cloth Patch

Gandalf Products (?)

In the 1970s several embroidered cloth patch featuring comic characters were made, among them also one featuring "Mandrake the Magician". Comparing this one with other patches one find similar patches with KFS © below the character for "The Phantom", "Prince Valiant", "The Little King", "Felix", "Snuffy Smith", "Maw Smith", "Jugheid", "Beetle Bailey" and "Sarge". Interesting is that the pictures of "Mandrake the Magician" and "The Phantom" are the same as the logo used on the Sunday pages in the 1950s.

  • Mandrake

  • The Phantom

  • Prince Valiant

  • Felix

  • The Little King

  • Beetle Bailey & Sarge

The ones with "Popeye", "Olive Oyl", "Swee'Pea", "Wimpy" and "Brutus" all have © KFS below the characters and some of them exists with different background colors. "Dondi", "Moon Mullins", "Henry", "Little Orphan Annie" and "her dog" have just the © and "Dick Tracy" has © NYS. "Flash Gordon" differs by a square format and has © KFS on it.

  • Maw and Snuffy Smithe & Jughaid

  • Popeye and friends

  • Popeye and friends

  • Flash Gordon

Various comic books from Western Publishing Company in the years 1972 to 1976 have ads from Gandalf Products Co (New York, N.Y.) featuring the patches of "Flash Gordon, "Popeye" and "Felix". Looking at the original packaging, it seems that those patches marked with KFS © are the oldest and was sold by Three Fish Inc (Atlanta, Georgia). These were sold as "Stick-A-Patch" and probably had some kind of glue on the back.

Most "Stick-A-Patch" have no copyright year printed on the packaging, but quite recently a patch with "The Phantom" with the original packaging has printed © 1972 on it. Some patches have other packaging like "Americas Most Wanted Emblems" and "Swiss Embroidered Emblem" and is intended for sewing instead of sticking on something.

note

La Giulia released a sticker album devoted to the "L'Uomo Mascherato (The Phantom)". The pictures in the story (Phantom contro i pirati) inside were missing 60 parts, which could be completed by adding a sticker. This story is the same as in the German "Abenteuer" released by Americana München (Edizioni Flash) in 1971. At the last page there is mentioned the chewing gum: "Nevada"; the bubble gums: "Mandrake", "Rin Tin Tin", "Bang" and "Tatu"; the lollipops: "Susetta" and "Gelatella". Most likely this is the "Mandrake" bubble gum cigarettes. The "Rin Tin Tin" bubble gum have wrappers with panels from newspaper strips inside. Although all wrappers are marked with July it looks like there were issued three different series. One with single panels in black and white, one with single panels in color, and one with three or four panels in color.

Interesting the picture as on the cover of the sticer album was also used in a bubble gum series with the "Phantom". The panels on these wrappers from are lifted from the Sunday stories "The Lions of Kukhan" and "The Black Gold Pirates" from 1967/1968. These panels do not seem to reproduce the entire stories.

Paper figures

Back cover art

The back cover of the Italian comic book "Celebri eroi dell'avventura" #12 has paper figures of Mandrake, Lothar and Betta.

Gran Match

In 1982 the kiosks in Argentine sold the "Album de figuritas Gran Match de los súper famosos". The "paper bag" was shaped as a soccer field and the figures (after cut out and glued ?) were put on to make a soccer game diorama. The figures who made up 20 teams of Argentine football were done by Félix Saborido. Each team had 11 players lifted from famous characters from TV, movies, cartoons, cartoon or pop culture. Some of the players are: Mandrake for "Talleres de Córdoba", Lothar for "Estudiantes de Santiago del Estero", The Phantom for "Racing" and on.

The "Gran Match" was reprinted each year and sold when the schools started in March.

Puzzles

Slide-square puzzle

In the years 1956 to 1967 the Roalex company (Forest Hills, New York) manufactured several slide-square puzzles. To form a correctly picture of the various TV characters one had to manipulate the tiny plastic sliding tiles. The puzzles were glued to a cardboard backing for stores. The first one is said to be the "Davy Crockett" (Disney 1954-1955 series) puzzle. It pictured three tall figures and one shorter one, and had several possible solutions, and at least one impossible. The follwed similar puzzles with "Mighty Mouse", "Flintstones", "Popeye", "Alvin", "Beverly Hillbillies", "Tintin" (#292) and on.

A few puzzles were made with only a single image, like "Superman", "Batman" (#219), "Astro Boy" (#207), "Atom Ant" (#225), "Fearless Fly" (#226), "Underdog" (#227), "Flash Gordon" (#238), "Space Ghost" (#253), "Green Hornet" (#246), "Frankenstein jr." (#253), "Mandrake the Magician" and on.
