MOTU not homoerotic enough for you, kids? Well, now you can create your own bare-skinned He-Man action with lots of rubbing and playing, provided you own a “rubbing tool” and are at least four years old! Warning: rubbing action that lasts longer than two hours may cause chafing, cramping, blurred vision and other harmful side effects.
Rub n’ Play was Colorforms’ answer to Presto Magix (though the idea of adhesive figures arranged on a backdrop was developed by Colorforms in 1951). My favorite Presto Magix knock-off is Imperial’s Rub-A-Doos.

Position, rub down, and lift? These instructions bother me. There is an applicator? Are there more steps? Lie down, apply, and force? Where exactly is He-Man’s sword anyways? This is some weird kind of Rubik’s Cube that I don’t think I want to solve.
lol, “Rub n’ Play” hahaha. It’s all starting to get clearer for me now. I definitely had one of those rub-down transfer toys in the early ’80s or late ’70s…still don’t know that “smell” you’re talking about though. Somehow I remember airplanes and explosions. Perhaps a WWII or combat type of rub-down set? So hazy.
