U.S.Toy Company is a store here in plano that specializes in party goods and novelties. I went in there with no expectations, but I'm a loyal shopper now.

I will be going back and clearing them out.

I love them!

What is the consistency of the rubber like?

[scythemantis]

Oh WOW, those are absolutely wonderful! I must have some!

How much do you want for a few bags?? I'll sextuple what you paid!

Also just realized that the squid-like mold is the same as a toy we all failed to identify in the ID board. I guess it was generic! That one was all nicely painted though....

those starfish looking ones look like tgb's kids latest line.

More firm than muscles, but not rigid enough to be damaged by moving.

their website is www.ustoy.com. Haven't been there yet, so I don't know if these can be ordered there. At 99cents a dozen, I'll be clearing out my local store anyway. They are called transparent creatures.

Edit: here's the direct link:Transparent creatures search under creatures.

They also have these, under skeleton fossils:

***** YEAH THEY HAVE THOSE POCKET MONSTERS! I have looked for these so damn long!

[Soupie]

Recoom, this site is awesome! Check out this page dedicated to Slime and Goo!

Also, I couldn't find the page for the Transparent Creatures.

try Translucent Creatures or just search creatures its the first thing that comes up.

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Would anyone be able to order me a set of these creatures? They don't take PayPal... PM me if anyone could?

[TheOrgg]

Translucent, not Transparent.

EDIT: HOLY SHEEP SHYT! Check it out: Those green-and-black Ultraman knockoffs!

And the Select-esque Stretching Wrestlers I've been watching for are also avaible! AND CHEAPER THAN WHEN I BOUGHT 'EM!

Their ducks are incredibly silly, but I like them:



Also their stretchy robots:

[OmegaTraf]

we have a bunch of the halloween ducks. The frankenduck and mummyduck come to mind. Someone gave them out on halloween. I thought it was an awesome thing to do.

these are them

Wow, I've played with those Stretchy Robots before - we made a robot-themed mobile for a friend's baby. They're very fun!

Search "insect assortment":

I have a bunch of these! I bought them well over ten years ago. They're far cooler than your average rubber bug; they have great detailing (can't see it in this pic) and have their latin name printed underneath.

[bronchuseven]

Yeah! That's one of the things that drew me to buy them way back then, even though they were a bit expensive (and still are, on that site). I think I ended up getting about 5 of them, including the lower-right-most round bug, the greenish-black beetle 2 above him, and the long-antennaed beetle near the top.

[Reccoom Kaboom]

Went back and bought the last six bags they had. Here's three sealed bags, some loose extras, and a nearly complete set (the eyeball bug in blue is all I'm lacking now)

I'll part with the bags and the loose extras at the price I bought them at, 1.00 a dozen, plus actual shipping (not inflated ship like the e-guys). Send me a pm. hopefully they'll restock soon.

Indeed. I wouldnt buy rubber bugs myself under normal circumstances but with their latin names underneath i might.

[scythemantis]

I ordered some of the site and a bunch of other things...though now I just want to find these in full color one day! Like I mentioned, we had a picture in Toy Identification with one of these guys full painted, it was gorgeous. I want to see othe starfish-eye in color! And the ant-eyeball! Heck, all of them...

[scythemantis]

Here's the pic I'm talking about, since it was taken down from ebay:



I got my two bags today, the sculpts are really awesome in person but now I'm mad at myself for not buying this lot when I could have. I may never see these guys painted again!

I know it's not the same... but I can always do custom LRG paint jobs on commission if one wanted.....

[scythemantis]

I really can't get over that these figures even exist. They have no apparent ties to a video game or franchise but they're SO freaking detailed and creatively planned out! They look like video game enemies

I know it's not the same... but I can always do custom LRG paint jobs on commission if one wanted.....

It'd be perfectly sufficient if I had that kinda money...just paying $20 to order these and some other stuff was a BIG fat rule-breaking for my current situation!

With these being some kind of generic party-favor molds, any paint job is as "official" as any other.

[Reccoom Kaboom]

Too bad we'll probably never know how these tie into your painted pic. I'd have liked to have seen the full set of eight painted, but I probably would have chosen the paintless clears anyway. If these weren't just a generic line, we might've gotten a 2nd wave, or a bigger color assortment.

[TheOrgg]

Any information on the package about where they may come from? They might have bought the molds from somewhere.

[scythemantis]

No, all their are sold in identical bags that just say "KID FUN!" and "MADE IN CHINA." The same bags are used by some dollar store chains and other party stores.

It wouldn't be ustoy that owns the molds, either. I've already found these listed on several other party supply websites, they're just from some generic supplier.

[Ridureyu]

I got mine today, and HOLY CRAP. These thigns are like the Ghost Busters Companion Ghosts, Waterworld Sea Mutants (the whole reason to buy those), AND H. P. Lovecract combined!

i want more.
