Now every home can have a crime lab
September 30, 2004

In the immortal words of Dave Barry, we are not making this up.

Planet Toys has signed a licensing agreement with CBS Consumer Products to produce a line of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" forensic activity kits to be sold at Toys 'R Us, the CBS Store and the CBS Online Store.

The first kit will be a CSI: Forensic Facial Reconstructive Kit, available Friday. The other two kits will be available in late October.

"These activity kits will appeal to the younger fans of 'CSI,' " says John Tullock, director of marketing for Planet Toys. "The target age is 14 and up. The kits will give the user a chance to discover what it's really like to be a crime scene investigator, and further their interest in forensics."

Does this mean your kids will be busy trying it out on every dead squirrel, bird and raccoon in the neighborhood? Let's hope not.

The CSI: Forensic Facial Reconstructive Kit will allow the investigator to recreate the skull and realistic facial likeness of a crime scene victim. The kit comes complete with a case that the investigator must solve with the clues provided. (Older readers will remember the board game Clue.

The second product released will be a CSI: Forensics Lab. "Everything the young investigator needs to solve the case will be included, such as a microscope and fingerprinting kit," says the toymaker.
