This set was advertised in comic books during the 70s. It intrigued me everytime because making shrunkin heads from rotting apples just appealed to my inner environmentalist - if I can't eat a bad apple, I might as well turn it into some creepy art.

We had an art teacher that was saving this one as an extra project when his ideas ran low. I can remember my green apple hanging in the window outdoors so that I could watch it rot daily. Birds often camed by and picked our apples appart. At the end basically you had created a low rent Mr Potatoe head, one that you could not just leave in your toybox for another day. I aslo always felt terrible that I stressed so much to get the googly eyes and hair just right to actually look like a once living person....even though I had started with an apple. The whole project was a nightmare.
