The Vac-U-Form by Mattel. Mattel had, without question, the greatest collection of cooltoys available in the late 1960s. The Vac-U-Form allowed one tomold plastic sheets into neat little gadgets such as boats, cars,and log cabins. I've scanned the Vac-U-Form Instructionsin case you need them. You can actually buy real vacuum forming machines online though Amazon.com if you need one though they are quite expensive. The Mattel Vac-U-Form was sold in a couple ofdifferent boxed configurations. This one with the pull-out drawerfor the molds and such is the more readily available version.Mine came with a (very) few of the original plastic sheets, arare commodity. Item number 422, dated 1962.

Toymax once again obtained the rights to thiscool toy and produced a newer, "safer" version. Operates usinglight bulbs and came with limited molds. The hope was that Toymaxwould have some old accessory kits lying around but they saidthat they didn't when I contacted them. My kit is nearly completeincluding the original sticker sheets. Item number 9388 dated1993. The refill sheets came in a huge box?!? Item number 9301dated 1993.
