Title: [ID: Monster Face by Hasbro] Skull with movable jaw, circa 1990
Post by: vincentlee on Wednesday 27 November 2013, 09:26 pm

Hi everyone!

A friend recently posted onto facebook a post about all the toys he had when we were growing up as kids in the late 80's, early 90's and tagged me in it.

It got me thinking about the stuff I used to have.

I recalled most things and googled them to check, but one toy I had I can't remember the name of. I've tried typing in the keywords to google with no results.

The toy is question was like a bust, essentially a head on a stand. It was stylized as a skeleton and had a movable jaw, which could be triggered using sticks on either side of the skull. If I remember rightly it may have even been able to turn its head slightly too.
It came with lots of plasticine and you could build a face or just make a mess.

I had this when I was about 7 or 8 in 1991/92.

Does anyone know what toy I'm talking about?

Thanks.

I think you may be thinking of this toy called Monster Face. Looks like a Mr. Potato Head type toy, but you could add slime to it? Here is a site and a video I found of it. It may be what you're looking for.

That would be it.
Man I remember the commercials for this thing. Creepy as all heck!
