Does anyone remember this Thingmaker?

Hey everyone. This has been wracking my brain all morning and I know I had found the answer a while back on this..
However, I cannot access Ghost of the Doll Forums to look and Google search is failing me... so I'm hoping someone here would know

Back sometime in the 80's or 90's (since i was born in '87 I remember the set from the early to mid-90's) there was a maker toy similar to Creepy Crawlers, only it was more geared towards girls had I remember it had Ponies or Horses you could make.. I'm pretty sure it had dolls too but i was more interested in the horses

After doing a Google search I thought it was under the line Thingmaker (which is what Creepy Crawlers was under in the 60's and 70's) by Mattel but I cannot find that specific set that has the Ponies/Horses.

For more detail, I remember the pony mold was on one plate and you could fold it in half so it could stand on all 4 feet (I don't remember what was used to hold it together though so it could stay like that). It uses a similar rubbery goop that Creepy Crawlers used and I remember actually using my brother's unit for this, which makes me not think it was an add-on pack.

Any ideas?

Hmm, I remember that there were other things similar to creepy crawlers, but I definitely don't remember anything where you made horses -- I think I would remember that! I did look it up on Wikipedia and the only mention is where it says, "Mattel produced many Thingmaker sets as follow-ups to the original "Creepy Crawlers" throughout the 1960s, utilizing a variety of themes, aimed at both boys and girls." So I guess it was one of several different varieties of the same toy. Maybe yours was one of the Dolly Makers? Here's a list someone made of the different sets: http://web.archive.org/web/20091027082455/http://geocities.com/garyweb65/thingmaker.html

I can confirm, I owned a Dollymaker as a kid with the ponies! They also had expansion sets with Disney like 101 dalmatians. Gosh did that plastic smell bad though!

Goody, I'm glad you found it! I didn't know they had Disney expansions -- that's really cool! I don't know why I missed these toys when I was a kid.
