Creepy Crawlers!

Yet another awesome toy that may very well be lurking in a box in my parent's garage. I remember making dozens of cheap little bugs with this this thing!



Yeah, they really weren't that realistic. It was so hard to get the detailing right. Still loads of fun though!



Creepy Crawlers featured on MS3TK!



There was even a Creepy Crawlers cartoon. I kind of remember this
That theme song needs work. It feels forced and that kid's singing kinda makes my ears bleed.


Does anyone still have one of these? If so, can I come over to your house and make some Creepy Crawler spiders?

    I think they bring these back every few years and they seem to do well.

      Really? I thought they got rid of these, along with Easy Back ovens, because kids kept burning themselves. I'll have to check it out. If I could find a new one that would be an awesome nostalgic find!

      This is the new one. They made them even more disgusting by filling them with goo for realistic for smash and splat action! And the bugs are reusable with the "Creepy Bug Grinder". Pretty gross and awesome!

      I had no idea they made, what I'm calling, an Easy Creep Oven! Why was I not aware of this!? I do remember the Dr. Dreadful Laboratory sets that made creepy, edible concoctions. I never had one of those. Is that what you were thinking of Mike?

      Thanks for stopping by Mike! I really like your spider drawing and I would like to use it for a future post, if that's okay. God bless!

    Never had one, but I think some one I know must have.

      It was such a fun toy! I loved the creative possibilities with all the different colored goops and the new mold packs.

      Did your friend let you use it?

      Good to hear from you Caffeinated Joe, I hope all is well!

    FYI to everyone, the newest version of Creepy Crawlers has horrible reviews, because it doesn't work properly, and for $30 it's not worth it. Too bad really.
