It blows me away that someone still sells the "goop"! But Alas our Mattel kits are long gone!
There have been other sets mentioned here that I never heard of, anybody know exactly many variations there were?
I also recall having an injection molder (I think that this was Mattel also) that made cowboys, indians and horses. As I recall it used specially shaped plastic ingots (at a lose for a better word) that were about 1 1/4 inches long and approx. 5/8ths in dia. It took for ever for the plastic to melt and I broke the injection handle being impatient ! Any body remember these?

I have one of those also and featured it in a Johnny West University picture question a few years back. I can't tell you right at the moment how many sets they had but let me get home to the computer and I can give you a pretty close idea. Those are actually cataloged so I can come up with a pretty fair list, minus the "girly" ones of course. LOL

Fun Flowers was the flower set/add pack. I have one of those but never tried to get the other "girly" type sets, little dolls, bows and beads, etc.. The Fighting Men is a cool set but I have never bought the "earth" tone goop to actually make them. The best set of that run though for my money was the spooky one whose name escapes me at the moment. Being able to make fake teeth and scars is pretty darn exciting.

Are you thinking of the Fright Factory?

Fright Factory is correct I never remembered until I got home. The list of kits includes Creeple Peeple, Creepy Crawlers, Disney Fun Factory, Eeks, Fighting Men, Fright Factory, Fun Flowers, Giant Creepy Crawlers, Mini Dragons, Cartoon Maker (Peanuts), Zoofie Goofies, Dolly Maker, Jillions of Jewels, and Picadoos. Along the same line was Western World mentioned by Ramrod and I have seen molds for Hot Wheels type cars that were also from that injector mold series. Did any of you have a Motorized Monster Maker? I had a basic set I got at a garage sale but ended up trading it for some other items at a show. It seemed pretty cool also.
