I had both of these. The Vincent Price Shrunken Head Maker, and the Creepy Crawler Maker (may have been from the 60's). This was the version you could melt your finger prints off with, not the plastic encased lawerized version. GREAT TIMES!
I agree. This is a great thread. I don't remember all the names of the toys I had as a kid, but seeing pictures I'm like "I had that!". I have to thank my parents as I had a great childhood with great toys it seems. I was born in '67 so I was the right age to really enjoy all this great stuff in the 70's and 80's.
Not a 70's toy but this is going to be a future project.
Hell ya!
I still have 2 of the black pistol versions. Did the rifles ever come in black?
That's original Lazer Tag, no? I never had them, I was the less-than-thrilled recipient of a Photon set instead.

The rifle (Starlyte Pro) was never offered for sale in black. There were 3-4 black prototypes made and one or two may have dissapeared from the factory. It was switched to white in wake of a shooting accident involving one of the Starlyte pistols. I have several mint sets of the pistols and continue to buy them on occasion, just because!
I vaguely remember having some figures and a couple of vehicles. I think it was a car and I definitely remember a yellow plane which had a square cut out of the top of the cockpit where you could slot one of the men in. Im sure it was very late 70s. Does that ring a bell with anyone. Man I loved those toys, I tipped the plane up over drain and lost one of the men and I buried one on the beach and never found it again, man I was gutted about it.
