Martian Matter Alien Maker Playset

My son absolutely loves this! We recently moved to our house, and he didn't know many of the other kids on the street. He used the Martian Matter Alien Maker outside one afternoon, and it piqued the interest of several of the neighborhood kids. Soon, they were all joining in and making their own aliens! For us, it was a great icebreaker! There's minimal mess, and the kids love making their own weird little alien combinations. Every other day I hear, "MOM,puh-leeze can I make an alien??" Two thumbs up!

My niece wanted this for her birthday, but no one was able to find it. I love such "missions" and not only found the toy, but founf a much better deal at the manufacturers website. I was able to get the main toy plus 5 refills for about $45 (including tax and shipping)! With a discount code I found on another site, this turned out to be a great deal and my family fulfilled her birthday wish :)

I think the product is a bit expensive but it is fun and not as messy as you might think. It took us a couple of practices to get the martians just right but now that we have the hang of it my 4 year old can do it. I like it because it is easy but the kids love it.

I live near Nashville TN and they were airing a commercial for this product on some cartoon channel. I searched everywhere even EBAY with no luck or too high. Found it on Amazon at a super price. Got it fast and my 2 grandsons Haden and Gavin are still lovin' makin' aliens evertime they visit Nana Mona. Better than I thought it would be. Neat to store it all away. No heat required.

I consulted wife my wife and 6 year old son on this one. My wife said that it's well designed, they can make different color martians by mixing different color fluids, and the toy works well. I don't really get the appeal, but my son really liked it, and I guess that's what matters.
