Mold-A-Rama – The Wax Figure Vending Machine
August 2, 2012 6:51 AM 
Mark and Paul talked about their interactions with a “wax figure vending machine”. As it turns out these machines are called “Mold-A-Ramas” and can produce a variety of different figurines.
Here is the Mold-A-Rama in action:
Here is Wikipedia’s entry on the Mold-A-Rama:
American inventor John H. “Tike” Miller is credited with conceiving a free-standing, plastic molding machine in the 1950s. He licensed his mold-making patent[5] and related technology to the Automatic Retailers Association, a vending machine company, which operated Mold-A-Rama machines as a subsidiary company through 1969. As of 2010, two US companies own and operate Mold-A-Rama machines, the William A. Jones Company in Illinois[6] and Replication Devices in Florida.[7]
It turns out Paul and Mark aren’t the only ones who are fond of these machines.
The Mold-Arama has somewhat of a cult following.
This website tracks locations and user submitted photos of the machine.
