What do you call those 'pin' things where you press say your face or hand into a layer of (non-sharp!) 'pins' and get a contoured image of it made from the 'heads' of the pins?

Hawkens Bazaar used to do them. The smallest are about 4" x 6". They're made of a dense layer of vertical silver pins behind a perspex protective screen. You press your chosen object against the underside of the pins which pushes them forwards correspondingly so you get an 'image' of your object in 3D relief in the flat pin heads. Any ideas? And where you can get them?

ooh, I saw some recently -they were really cheap (around £7) but I can't remember where!

It must have been a high street store -Superdrug? Woolies?

I'll get back to you if I remember where.

Thanks! It's for a friend. Her son broke a mate's one and she wants to replace it!
