Bought Superperfection and Mr. Mouth for Kids

[j_scott_o]

Brings tears to my eyes. My wife and I went to a flea market this afternoon and I bought an old Superperfection and Mr. Mouth. Ok, my wife bought the Mr. Mouth...newer version. Won't let my kids play with my vintage one. Anyway, I set them up and played with them. When I got up, they kept playing for another hour together. My daughter overheard my wife and I talking and she said, "well, we don't have as cool of games like this like you guys did when you were kids".

Makes me proud!

Mr.Mouth? what kind of toy is that?

[Meule]

Don't know that one either

Egads! I played this all the time as a kid. This link has some pictures of Mr. Mouth. I have the yellow one in my collection, like the one from my childhood. The green one is the one we bought for the kids today.

I had the old Mr Mouth, the one that looked like Pacman, great game.

That Shrek version looks a little scary! I didn't have either of these but I remember for rainy day lunch period, this girl brought in her Superfection from home. I think she and one boy in my class were the only ones who could put it together before the timer ran out!

Mr. Mouth is an awesome fun game to play

I never had the Mr. Mouth game, but I remember the commercials for it Is Superperfection just the next version of Perfection? (wind up a timer and you've got something like one minute to put all the shapes in the base before it springs up and throws the pieces everywhere)? I had that game. Only it was more often used as a bomb that Batman had to deactivate before it blew up Robin.

Yes, it is pretty much the next version. I mistyped the original thread though. It is called Superfection. Anyway, instead of a bunch of shapes like Perfection, there is a grid of 5x4. What you need to do is make a cube out of 2 pieces of 40 possible pieces. So, only 2 of the 40 make a cube. You need to make 20 cubes under 2 minutes. Sounds easy, but, it ain't. Of course, after you do it for a while, you start memorizing the shapes and color combos, but, it is a ton of fun.

Aaahhhh, I remember that one! I never played it, but I remember seeing it now that you've described it!
