Yeah those molds got HOT
burned the rug in my bedroom once
then I had to use it outside

singed my fingers on the molds or the critters that were still hot a few times

Dammed lawyers took all the fun and learning out of childhood

i had the '90s version of this

I like how it says "Caution. Very Warm Surface" as an alternative to "HOT".

I couldn't find a picture of it, but when I was a kid a friend of mine had a game called Finger Binger, which involved pressing your finger into series of things that looked like plastic clothes pegs but with spikes (I shit you not).
I don't recall what the point of the game was but maybe the winner was the one with the least blood loss.

Those things go for good coin these days, like REALLY good coin.
The reason being is that for years and years now, plastic model-makers have sought those sets in ANY condition to use to cast their own parts for their hobby.
If you ever find one, put it up on Ebay and ask........oh, I dunno.........$500. You'll get takers.

Ouch

sorry to here that

When I was going to the American school in japan

circa 1970 I knew a kid that got his face cut up when a pair of those acrylic Clackers shatered

[Doh]

When I was a kid, we had Click Clacks, too! Naturally, we used them as a weapon:



We also had Time Bomb.



I wonder if my parents were trying to kill us...?
