"Shrunken Heads"

[Babytoxie]

Inspired by the Creepy Crawlers thread:

Speaking of infamous '70s toys, did anyone have the "Shrunken Heads" apple sculpture kit? Today, I find it amazing that this was ever offered, but then that's what made the '70s so much fun for me: a total lack of restraint on the part of manufacturers. And having Vincent Price as its glamorous spokesmodel only added to the appeal.

No one?

Well, like most '70s toys, it led to a big sloppy mess. Shrunken Heads, Slime, Creepy Crawlers' Goop, the glue stick from Hugo Man of a Thousand Faces, and even a punctured Stretch Armstrong gave my mom hours of cleaning fun.

I remember these, I never actually got one though . Along with all kinds of Mego toys and Disco, the 70's were awsome! Shrinky Dinks, Stretch Armstrong,Commadores, Three's Company ,etc. Those were the days. The only thing I hated were the clothes. Bell bottom brown corduroy with orange and red striped shirts. Reruns of the old Superman cartoons on the Bozo show, man I miss those days.
