I found these on Flickr...

http://flickr.com/photos/tags/moldarama/

and totally flashed back to my childhood, where I got a marlin out of what must have been a Mold-A-Rama machine at Sea World.

Why don't we have cool shit like this any more?

I still have an alligator from Gatorland, & an elephant from the Orlando zoo. Sometimes the machine would "burp" a little, & you'd get a poor misshapen freak of nature.

The San Antonio Zoo has em, I recall getting the Gorilla and painting a GB ( Gorilla Biscuits!) on his his chest and put X's on his hand, that was about 15 years ago...

whoa!!! I remember making one of those at Universal Studios back in the 70's after seeing the Jaws exhibit. I made a blue wax like shark in one of those machines. Damn I wish I still had that. I had no idea what the name of the machine was or that they made so many.

the Gorilla was cool...I liked the black plastic ones..they came out all hot and smelly. No way that was good for kids! Gorilla Biscuits...an early customization!

That would be pretty cool. I wonder if it would be possible to make new custom molds? That way you could have Saturday morning Mold-A-Rama exclusives available for just one day. Customers could mold their own Super 7 exclusive!

Googling around, I did find a machine out there for sale for about $12,000 (or was it $120,000?). Make your own little Ghostland mold. I guess anything's possible.

Busch Gardens has small mold makers all over the park with differant animal molds. I just got my son a Santa one when I was there in December for Christmas Town.
