Cool Monster Stuff Seen On eBay:
Uncle Milton’s Gro-A-Face (1969)

I'd buy this for the box alone! Look at that eye-popping illustration! I can already hear today's parents moaning and bitching about it in the aisles of TRU, in spite of it saying it's "an exciting hobby for the whole family." I don't get it, though. I know you're growing plants, but how the "face" part comes in, I'm not clear on. Looks like the box is missing the "decorator kit."

Cool Monster Stuff Seen On eBay:
Ooze-It (1981)

From seller yellowildflowers on eBay: Ooze-It; a weird (and messy) toy from 1981. Didn't know about this one until now. What happened to all those messy, drippy, oily, pliable, and crushable toys we grew up with? Buy it now price is $999.99. A lot of oozing right there.
