Does anyone remember having any of these? They are small plastic/rubber figures (similar to m.u.s.c.l.e.) that were found in vending machines in the late 80's.

As far as I know, there were 12 'Lucky Yuckie' characters to collect. They came with a little booklet (I only know of Book 1, not sure if any other book #'s were made) with sketches of each character and a short paragraph for each one that explains the "power" you will gain by making a wish when you have that particular character in your possession.

I just think they are pretty cool. I hadn't seen any other posts talking about them, so I was wondering if anyone else remembers them, or if someone might still have some, or if anyone has any more information about them. Thanks. Sorry I can't post any pics.

I finally took a pic of the booklet and 8 of the 10 different figures (Minus the little girl and worm-like thing).

These figures all have 'HONG KONG' printed on their backs. (TheGodBeast brought to my attention that these particular figures are possibly US/bootleg versions of characters taken from the Japanese Anime, 'No Kitaro'.)

I'll go ahead and post here that I'm looking for any of these figures, so if anyone has any that I can buy/trade for, let me know.

Thanks.

I vaguely remember something, but they sure are funny looking.

I do not even remember those things.....but I was only like 5 years old then. They do look pretty funny though.
