Yes! Had that when I was a kid. Was one of my favorite toys. The one fault was that the film strips with the ghosts weren't reusable. And if they made refills, we never got them here.

My one cousin and her best girlfriend were ADDICTED to that toy, 50-odd years ago!!!!!!

Family members were the recipients of many of their "novel" creations!

Thanks for posting!

 

Two of my cousins could NOT get enough of those "Sizzlers"; I had TOTALLY forgotten about them.....thanks for the memory "jumpstart"!

It was strong enough to carry a real hammer in its hand while walking.

I just had a chemistry set and tried to blow the neighbors shed up.

 

I recall my two cousins having the model kits for "The Visible Man" and "The Visible Woman"; being squeamish as hell, those kits grossed me out BIG time!

 

In the early 70's, recall the battered-looking "ZOOMER BOOMER" cars?

And, for the grown-ups, recall (early 1970s) "THE GODFATHER" board game, which originally came in a box shaped like a violin case?

(".....leave the gun......take the cannolis.......")

Schaper toy company.

It was known for the Cootie game.

Schaper TV commercials in the 70's would end with an animated character saying the tag line, "Schaper always leaves you laughing! Ah ha-ha-ha ha-ha!"
