CREEPY TOY

[NateSean]

Was there any toy they marketed to us in the 90's that wasn't a reboot from the 60's and 70's?

[Tinyoak2]

these and Stretch Armstrong....admit it, you know you cut his arm off to see what was inside :D

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

You know they wouldn't of come out the molds so well. There's so much false advertising when it comes to toys

[DarkLordPeaches]

OMG I had one of these!

The little blonde girl with glasses has grown up and is now a director. If you do a search for Dimensions the movie there is a youtube channel.

[MaverickXIII]

they used to have an animated series for this, ah the good old days

[Sakura06Chan]

this was THE BOMB when I was a kid...they even made edible ones. XD

[tmplcsw]

I loved this toy it was one of my favs. Also had one that made flowers. I think the fear of getting burned made me more responsible. But if I did get burned, no biggy. Unlike today when some kids are such spoiled & entitled youngsters.

[thunderpaw104]

i had something like this! :D it was awesome! but then it broke.....

[trollsrawsome]

did the narrator just say it came with 3 bottles of poo?

[doctorsizzle]

had one...great stuff.

"it's diiiiissssgusting"...why yes...yes it is...

[MizBriful]

"its disgusting" xD

hey i used to make those :P

[69bodean]

Lol wow its frickin Fester from the Adams Family doing that commercial cool :)

[scrutewb]

My brother and I had this. I was definitely one of the coolest, funnest toys ever made and an improvement over the original Thing Maker (which I never had).

There were major drawbacks though. For one thing, buying more Plastigoop over a brand new toy was basically out of the question in our minds and a lot of other kids I suspect as well. But worse than that was that while a freshly made Creepy Crawler pretty cool, within a week it would shrivel up into a little plastic knot!

[cootmaster]

my version is greasy grimy gargoyle set

[cootmaster]

POUR IN GOOP AND WAIT!!

[apantoja786]

ok im not racist and im not black but aint it kinda jacked up starting at 0:03 three white kids are torchering a black kid with there bugs. its obvious he was told to act scared while these kids gang up on him.

[LlamaSensei]

I totally want one of those.

[MakeUpForLife27]

@LlamaSensei they have been renewed srry dont knw how to spell that word but idk wat its called but they were renewed like when i was 678 or even 9 i dont rember cuz im 11 now

[Dirtfire]

What year was this made? My guess is 1986.

[HyperSonicXtreme]

0:02 read at the bottom of screen

"MATTEL INC 1978"

[sethshazam]

lol thats great! like a lot of other weird stuff i remember from my childhood, i doubt this stuff was really healthy to play with

[60sThru80s]

My eyes aren't what they used to be...does that copyright date at the beginning say 1976 or 1978? This commercial is reminding me of something else, and knowing the year would help. Does anyone know what year Thingmaker II was?

[IDLERACER]

Looks like 1978 to me. Interestingly, even if there were no copyright date, you can instantly tell it's from the late 70s because of the Farrah Fawcett hair on the blonde girl with the glasses.

[60sThru80s]

Thanks, obliged to you. Now that you mention it, the hair-do clue makes perfect sense.

It rolls on...I'm sure decades from now people will be uploading todays commercials and suggesting "must be circa 2002 because her thyroid gland has a bolt through it."

:)

Thanks again

[theknowbody]

I had one of these as a kid, it was cool. The 'crawlers' would eventually sort of try out and get stiff like tough vinyl.

It taught you patience to wait for the things to harden to get them out of the molds in one peace.

[ZeroEffect29]

I had the toymax version of this device, it was fun for me growing up. now i wonder if it was possible to make fishing lures(namely plastic worms) with these devices. just imagine the kind of cash you would save on buying plastic worms!

[ChapperIce]

until you run out of goo, realize they don't make the goo anymore, and have to spend hundreds on ebay for it ;D

[IDLERACER]

I believe that's Jackie Coogan doing the narration.

[sideshowcarny]

Jackie Coogan AKA Uncle Fester

[gorillamummy]

@IDLERACER Definitely Uncle Fester! A perfect choice.

[rayrayholland]

@IDLERACER ha haha YU R RIGHT !!!! hahaha

[inuXgal69]

NOOOO thats totally sick man i want one!!!

[IRideThePaleHorse]

It's disgusting.

[gbrdaisy]

Thingmaker toys were the best! My sister had the "Fun Flowers" one from the late '60's. That had the metal molds, which got really hot and could give kids some nasty burns. The "Thingmaker II" versions, like this "Creepy Crawlers" set, were safer.

[spidersister]

wow! now that's the one I remember..

[sierraxr]

GAY!

[the60sKid]

Shut the fuck up!
