| This kick-ass creature art comes off the packaging to a series of collectable molds intended for use with Nickelodeon's "Thingmaker Chill-A-Tron Lab", a rip-off of "Creepy Crawlers" that fashioned bugs and monsters out of frozen gel rather than baked plastic. These particular molds were actually nothing but transparent plastic bubbles glued to the above card backing - exactly like an action figure package, but with nothing inside! Unfortunately, Chill-a-tron creations were not intended to last and would eventually dry out into a sort of withered, razor-edged resin that the instructions sternly warned not to play with. If the molds had only been made out of metal, I would have gleefully filled them with "Creepy Crawlers" plasti-goop and baked up some toys of these delightful monstrosities, who's names are Icky Bod, Clot Popper, Skeletick, and Mutoid. The "Skeletick" mold is obviously my favorite, more for the tick than for the skele, though it does have a nice fetal alien look to it. The back of Skeletick's package says "These two always argue over who got the looks and who got the brains". Cute! |
