I've mentioned before that I'm not a huge fan of gimmick-based toys. Gimmicks get boring quickly and tend to leave you unsatisfied when the initial novelty has worn off. And although I'm sure the same would be true of this - the Strange Change Machine (which also appears to be called the Strange Change Time Machine, judging by the front-piece on the toy itself...) - it's still pretty awesome to watch in action.
Not only does this thing have a great electronic-scored commercial, but the toy itself looks like it could be a lot of fun. Mattel need to bring this back, as the science behind how it all works is fascinating and I could see those capsules being sold in ''booster packs'' to expand your army of creatures. And best of all, you could probably dry your hair and whip-up some waffles using that funky heater, making it an ideal toy for the sci-fi obsessed, preening, fat child in your life.
