Title: What's this toy/device called again? Post by: AoTFan on January 07, 2017, 11:01:33 PM Okay, silly question, but it's got a bunch of plastic "pins" on one side and you press into it, sending them forward, making an impression on the other side. Some people like use it with their faces (or hands). Seen them a lot in sci-fi movies where they'll have an entire board set up with this with the "pins" resetting to form a picture of something elsewhere (like in the first X-Men movie, Man of Steel, to name a few.)

(Of course anything based on Night on Bald Mountain could probably be called haunting.) |
