Retro Toy Chest: Mattel's Strange Change Machine (1968)

In the late 60's, Mattel, it seems, and maybe other toy companies, too, were encouraging kids to channel their inner mad scientists.

Case in point is Mattel's Strange Change Machine, which was introduced in 1968. Actor Paul Stewart, known to cartoon fans for his work on The Super Six and as the voice of Mightor, is the narrator.

Speaking of toys, did you hear that Toys "R" Us is closing down due to bankruptcy?

Yep, it was on the news the other day. Pretty sad, when the biggest toy chain on the planet is closing.
