Subject: 80s Toy, monsters that skin melted off?

Written By: Gwen on 01/15/03 at 08:28 p.m.

Hey everyone :)

I'm trying to remember the name of a toy I had.  It came out around '87/'88.  There were these skeletons that you put thier body on them(play doh or something to that effect-don't remember exactely what that was made out of) and then you dipped them in this plastic container filled with what was supposed to be acid (actually baking soda and vinegar) and the skin would melt off/dissolve.  It was kind of like a mad scientist labratory.  Might have been called mad scientist,don't rememeber. Does anyone rememeber this one? And do you recall the actual name?
