If anything, Klakers/Clackers became infamous.

We had it easy back in the day. Compared to all the stuff that could happen to kids online; Klakers, Thingmakers, Woodburner Sets, and even Lead Soldier Casting sets are downright safe.

I'm almost 65, and I played with my share of Major Matt Mason toys when I was a kid. They were pretty cool, but due to the posing wires constantly breaking - which we called "Gumby's Disease," back in the day - they rarely lasted more than a few weeks of playtime. (But now that a movie was made about "Barbie;" how about one for "Major Matt Mason" . . . ?) I never had one of those Vac-U-Form sets, but I knew some kids at school who did. Interestingly, many of those Vac-U-Forms had a second life when those of us who became serious plastic modelers dug them out of the attic to make thinner, more realistic canopies for our model aircraft using the kit supplied part as the form, as well as to make conversion parts. As for the issues with the Thingmaker (I had the Fighting Men set) getting too hot; my parents just told me - as they did with my Woodburner set - to be careful and treat the 'tool' with all due respect. I was about eight when I had these, and when I was about 6 - 7, I helped my older cousins cast lead(!) soldiers on their family's kitchen stove! I also once assembled a model plane - albeit outside - using carbon tetrachloride because I had no styrene cement, and it was Sunday, so all the stores were closed. Thanks for sharing this, but please do something about that AI voice . . . . 31st Like.
