W is for Weird Science!

Sadly not Kelly LeBrock at her finest, or even in her finest underwear, but rather; maggots and a worm-mould! Another Halloween post, even though this wasn't being specifically sold with the season in mind, it's the sort of stuff we see at this time of year, as well as being a useful addition to any insect/invertebrate collection, and would make nice 'going-home' presents at Halloween parties, or alternative trick-or-treat prizes.

 

Totally nasty weird science! I think I got this in one of those independent or small chain Poundland lookie-likies, but I can't honestly remember, so I'm not naming anyone, but they are out there somewhere, I did study the other bags in the dispenser and conclude that this was it, whether another carton would have bags with different contents remains to be seen, but I suspect not, this seems to be a one-off novelty item.

You get a bag of maggots to start playing with straight away, and to keep playing with if the moulding exercise proves less than successful, a small, simple mould of two worms (or a worm and a caterpillar?) a spider and a pile of eggs (or a pupa?), and a bag of powdered gel ('goo') mix, not edible jelly thought, rather, I suspect that dentists moulding compound, some small-batch toys soldiers may be being made out of at the moment, not a long-laster?

Those maggots in full! Similar to other maggots seen here at Small Scale World! Out there now, somewhere! Issued by RMS International (previously seen here with a horse-transporter), Google revealed a larger boxed version of this set, and other products under the Weird Science brand-marking.
