Mold-A-Rama Coin-Op Goodness (Pic Heavy!)

[elvenwine26]

How fun!  I went to a zoo in florida that had one of those.  I forget what molds were available but we did end up with a kangaroo. :3

Very cool^^

I've also never seen anything like this.  Do you pick the mold and the colour, or does each machine just make the one type?

Those are neat! I'd definitely want one if we had those. Closest we have are those coin stamping machines.

I have a gorilla from the Knoxville Zoo somewhere around here.  I had never seen one until a few years ago, I think they're really cool!

It's all pre-set so you can't pick out the mold and color. Each machine has it's own animal/object and color

Those are really cool! My only experience with Mold-A-Rama is the tv show Wonderfalls. I want one of those smooshed face lion replicas someday. I wonder if there are any Mold-A-Rama near me.

WHAT IS THIS SCIENCE?! I MUST TRY IT.

This looks amazing! I have never seen these in the UK and I kind of wish we had them, they'd be fantastic at the Science Museum in London which already has a ton of hands-on exhibits for kids to play with!

[Hervoyel]

Those are awesome - I've never seen anything like that! 

Well, aside from the penny-printing ones, which I suppose is a similar type of thing.

Never heard of this sort of thing before. Very cool! Thanks for sharing your pics!

Yep- unfortunately there's no choice in the color.  They can change the molds in the machines though.  The Brookfield Zoo in Chicago has a bunch of these and every Christmas and Halloween they change the molds out to seasonal ones.

I wish!  How cool would it be to buy a Mold-A-Rama machine and make a pony mold for it and then bring it to the Fair every year.  Okay, someone needs to do this now LOL

I'm guess there don't seem to be any in the UK.  There's a blog that lists the locations of some of them http://mold-a-rama.com/index.php?p=1_15_Molds-in-Production but this is only a partial list I think because it only covers places in the Midwest US and I know I've gotten these in other places- at the Memphis Zoo for example. 

I'm going back to the Field Museum and hope to get the last one I don't have- the green Brontosaurus.    I'll post pics if I get it!
