Holy crap! Please do a post on the Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos advertised on the front cover of that trade book.

The cover of that book clears up the mystery of what the hell the stupid little cat with the billion velcro-attached tails that had a prized place in the stuffed animal pile on my bed up until quite probably my early teens was. (Furreal Friends, in case that run-on sentence wasn’t clear.)

Matt, you should totally do an article on the Shimmers, because if nothing else they’re fizzucking creepy.

Do I see the logo for Shimmers? You know you need to scan those.

Romi, your mention of the Snack Shop (wasn’t it from Super Doh, or was that just a different kind of Play Doh?) is making me sing the commercial song in my head.
“Hamburger patty, dog on a bun. Ice cream cone and one banana split. Snack Shop! You make it all from Super Doh. Snack Shop!”

Ecto-Plasm in can was excellent, if not a strange mysterious substance. My brother and I had the can of the pink kind from Ghostbusters 2. It had a little yellow head guy in it through which you could squeeze the goo, making it look like he was puking the stuff. We weren’t really young when we had the stuff, so we were old enough to really wonder what it was made of. It seemed like toxic waste, but kind of smelled like crayons. After awhile it kind of lost it’s viscosity, and it was a bit more chunky in appearance. So we thought it’d be fun to experiment on. We put a blob in the freezer. It never really froze solid. We boiled another blob in a pot of water. I can’t remember what happened there. And we set a blob on fire. That made a stink that we figured shouldn’t be breathed.
I’m not sure what ever happened to teh rest of it. But I do recall my brother owning a jar of green Nickelodeon Gak that was similar.
Now I have a jar of Phantom Menace “Jabba Glob” that came with a figure of Jabba. You’re supposed to put the ooze into his head and watch it com eout his mouth. I haven’t opened the jar and I’ve owned it for about nine years now.

More Plan o gram superdork trivia: In my business (automotive performance), the plan o gram is not simply a suggestion for display of choice items, but it’s an actual package deal. If you bought the #6 Play-Doh Plan’O'Gram, not only would you get all the Play-Doh shown in the picture, but also the shelf tags and kickass signage, usually at a special discount to boot, sometimes even including a free baseball cap or something to give your little cousin, the one that broke your Webstor with a hammer before you even figured out how to make him climb his rope.
