I had some free time the other day and I just started binging through some old Pixel Dan reviews and I found the one where he covers all of the various Slime Pits that Mattel had produced over the years.
After watching that, I hit up my local Ebay and found the Mutant Slime Pit and the Harry Potter Slime Chamber!
I had known about the Mutant Slime Pit for awhile now but for some reason it never really appealed to me. After watching that video and realizing that it also works as Skeletor's throne I was blown away. How had I never realized this?! So, I bought it, opened it, and played with it.
It's pretty cool, kind of reminds me of the old Swamp Thing playset but I bought it for one reason and I needed to see how that worked in person. Specifically with my vintage Skeletor.
Yeah, as you can see, it is pretty cool. The old Snake Mountain playset was notorious for having a great outside but lame interior. This throne/slime pit definitely adds to the experience. It really gives off a great vibe. I also really like how the pit opens up underneath the throne and that the trap doors also pop up and not just down. It could almost kind of double for a dungeon or a waterway access for Mer-Man.
Now the Harry Potter Slime Chamber was pretty cool as well. Pixel Dan was spot on about how this would work great with the Snakemen, who really don't have anything going for them unless you buy a separate Snake Mountain. This makes a great little lair...
...or is it a feeding station?
