VTOD - day four of the fab 60's...

Here's a toy I really, really wish I still had. It's the Strange Change machine!



This thing was great. You put these 'cubes' of plastic inside the oven like deal:



Then they heated up and expanded into various dinosaurs, monsters, etc.



The cool part was you heated them back up, and could re-smash them back into little cubes!

I've got to try to find this thing again around my parents house...

Oh, and this site has a good explanation of the whole process:

Guess that's one you left off your list!

Well, the list I sent was only for action figure lines. That is why I meantioned that if you were doing a toy that wasn't from a line, you may want to PM me to make sure it hadn't been done already. Not that it is ANY big deal. Some toys SHOULD be done multiple times. [img]wink.gif[/img]
