Mattel Thingmaker, 1965


I went thrifting today and didn't find much. I did find a Mattel "Thingmaker" in excellent shape along with a "Creeple Peeple" kit also by Mattel. Both dated 1965 and obviously well cared for. (above) I thought I might check it out tomorrow and make stuff if the goop is still useable. Maybe I shouldn't. I really need my own display room for all of the great things I've been collecting over the years. I have things displayed in our home as well as I can but I just don't have the appropriate set up. I totally COVET a display room I've seen where the collecter has at least a thousand vintage board games displayed. The majority is board games but there were tons of other things too. Absolutely cool I'm telling you. I have got to search this place out again and I'll put up a link. Anyhow, my dream is to have something like that. My new goal.
