![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Following this introduction period, the Thingmaker portion was spun off as a separate set, and launched as the "Creepy Crawlers" line. This omnibus toy combined the new moulds and Plasti-Goop technology with the existing Vac-U-Form machine, a vacuum forming toy, which molded simple sculptures by heating thin sheets of plastic, then using a vacuum pump to form the softened plastic over hard plastic forms. The concept of the Thingmaker was introduced in 1963, as part of Mattel's Vac-U-Maker set. The Plasti-Goop is cured by the heat, and when cooled forms semi-solid, rubbery replicas which can be removed from the mould. The mould is then heated to about 390 ☏ (199 ☌) in an open-face electric hot plate oven. The toy consists of a series of die-cast metal moulds resembling various bug-like creatures, into which is poured a liquid chemical substance called "Plasti-Goop", which comes in assorted colours. Thingmaker, also called Creepy Crawlers, is an activity toy made by Mattel, beginning in 1964. ![]()
