Reminiscent of toys of the late 60's, Toymax does it again with the Metal Molder Die-Cast Factory. Small vials of pre-measured metal "shot" are melted and poured into molds to make such things as motorcycles, wizards, robots, and jewelry. The back of the Molder boxes show numerous extra molds that can be purchased separately though I don't believe they ever sold any of these. Also available was the Precious Metals Jewelry Maker which also had numerous extra molds. To the best of my knowledge my collection below includes every Metal Molder and every Precious Metals kit ever sold in the US. I've scanned the Metal Molder Instructions (1.6MB pdf) which also apply to Precious Metals.

This is the jewelry making Precious Metals kit. Unlike the metal molder I have only seen this kit packaged in one way. Originally it came with four molds: Star & Moon, Butterfly & Smile pendants, Bug & Jewel Holder, and Broken Heart Pendants. In later kits, the star/moon mold was replaced with a Heart Pendant & Sun. Item 80071 dated 1997.

The Classic Chevys kit included two molds, four vials of metal shot, fourplastic chassis, and ten gems. Item 80111 dated 1997. Originally this was goingto be a Camaros set and the picture on the box shows two Camaros. When it went intoproduction, one of the cars was actually a Corvette convertible (mold on left) so the name ofthe kit was changed.
