Reply #31: not such a tomboy toy as all that

[nicolemrw]

the illustration on the cover showed a boy and a girl both playing with it. but yeah, it was the best. really unlimited scope for creativety because what it made was different segments that you could attach together in all different ways. my brother had a set of alien toys (one from each planet, rubbery action figures) but there was none from mercury, so we decided the dragons were from mercury, and played aliens. my brother was really remarkably patient about playing games like that with his younger sister, now that i think of it! i'll have to thank him next time i see him.

i also had one that made plastic flowers to make jewlery. that was fun too, but not in the same league.
