    When I get a chance, I'll take some photos of it "in action".
    It's not over yet!

      I can't wait!

      Thanks to all again.

      Licks at the edge of unsuspected places,
      While others scan, under an arc-lamp's glare,
      Nursery, kitchen sink, or their own faces.

        Cool. Dead thread revival. My mom bought me one at Kay-Bee toys in 1983. Never seen or meet anyone else that had one. I remember there were a couple of different styles. Click image for larger version

          Thank for posting. This is one of those memories that has haunted me for decades - it's nice to know I wasn't going mad!

                I hadn't seen this thread before but the first post reminded me of a sweet thing i had as a kid (sorry not related to this toy which i'm glad you finally found!) - where the box was a plastic coffin shape and the "candy" inside was shaped like bones etc. They only seemed to be available from our local Newsagent one year for a short time but I remember buying them as myself and a mate were obsessed with Scream/Horror Cards/Paranormal type stuff.

                  I still look at this thread from time to time and marvel at how helpful and just plain lovely folk you’ve never met before can be!
