Mattel Dinosaurs
What was the name of a toy in the 70′s that had a volcano playset and dinosaurs crushable into squares?
Not sure who made it, but it featured a vice like compacter that squashed the dinos and monsters into a compact square, which you could then reconstitute by placing them on a sort of hot plate/warmer where they would unfold into their shape. The injection molded volcano feature had four cup like volcanoes and a prehistoric lake, and the hot plate had an acrylic dome and plastic tweezers for handling the monster toys while hot. I vaguely remember a stamp in the compacter, possibly the Mattel logo, but not sure. Anyone remember this toy?

A hot plated heat machine that was much in the style of the Vacu- form
and Thingmaker sets included a molded plastic mountain to hold your
Heat Machine/Compression Chamber Apparatus. The set came with the
plastic cubes called ” Astropod Capsules “. When you inserted them in
the heat chamber, slowly a creature would emerge. After you finished playing
with them, you would heat them again and then crush them back into a flat
cube with the compacter on the side . ”
Unfortunately, the child protective agency would
have these sets removed from the shelves
as the heat machines and discs could {and would}
burn little Tommy’s hands
{a childhood once again foiled by protective parents}
