Dont know if you still get this. It was a bald mans face, printed on a board base with a transparent cover about 1/4" above it. Inside the transparent cover were lots iorn whiskers which you could drag around to form hair, beard etc. And whats more the force field lines when the magnet was near look just like those hi res pictures of the sun. The same physics!
Meccano was also cool, and chemistry set, even electric trains, although we never built ours up very large.
