Hi!

I've managed to get hold of a camera for a little bit, so thought I'd use the opportunity to snap away at some pictures of various little people I haven't been able to identify. As is the norm around here. Here we go then:


This one looks a bit like Slythe, he's about two MUSCLEs tall.


A three-headed cobra thingy. One and a half MUSCLEs tall, maybe?


A cyborg skeleton thingy, with his brain all exposed. GI Joe-sized!


A shy little alien, slightly taller than a Ghostbusters companion thingy.


Found these two sitting on a wall down my road, so I took them in out of the cold. Didn't catch their names though. They're hollow!


Had these three for years and years, and I've come to refer to them as the Leper Pirates over time. Be good to know their real names though.


Ho ho, this hippy's been at the waccy-baccy too much, he can't stand up on his own! Any ideas?


Lastly, a fat little cyclopean guy with a sad face and a little gun. He's numbered, and judging by his markings, is from 2000 and it also says "Just/MYP" on there too.

So, any ideas? Anybody?

The cobra is a cheap-o Chap Mei (or similar Chinese company) fantasy figure.

Thanks, just done a quick search and someone's selling a load of them on eBay (mostly centaurs), but my snake's in there. Thanks for that. One down!

The guy in the first picture is probably Slythe and he sure looks like him, but I don't know if that's him or not.

[Soupie]

Dang, that first figure definitely looks like a Thundercat mini. The minis typically look exactly like the cartoon characters, so I don't think that is Slythe. I don't know what Thundercat character he would be if he's not Slythe. I think someone here will recognize him though. Need trademark info.

The GI Joe cyborg has got to be an easy ID for someone. Need TM info.

The shy pink reminds me of a character from the Caper the Ghost movie that was out awhile ago. Need TM info if there is any.

The two little alien thing shave to be gumball machine figs. They look a lot like some figures that TGB made some customs of. I think they are called Spacenicks or something. http://www.godbeast.com/oe_customs.htm

The pirate guys look very familiar. Need TM info if there is any.

The hippy figure reminds me of a Poopa Troopa. These were figures very similar in shape to this figure that had little, cheap parachutes attached to them. You threw them in the air and let them fall to the ground.

Your obese cyclops may have a connection the Mike Young Productions (MYP). They make several animated TV shows.

If you have trademark information and years on these figures, that info can be very helpful.

The cyborg is from Gerry Andersons (Guy who created Thunderbirds) live action Scfi show its name is Cyborg.


The cyclops looks like its from But Ugly Marsians that got loads of mini figures but was a complete flop as a Tv show it had a gba and ps2 racing game as well..

The pirate guys I have never seen but I have some figures very simlar to them based of random movie monsters ones Freddy Kreuger.

The alien is a Cereal Prize from Sugar Puffs from the UK they came in 4 Colours and was 6 diffrent ones they all had names as well.

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Thanks Soupy!

Well, the little alien things look similar to GodBeast's things, but not similar enough...

The pirate things didn't have any TM info on them, anywhere, and I've just been looking all over for Mike Young stuff - the only thing they "did" in 2000 was some Santa Claus thing, but then there was Butt-Ugly Martians the following year. Checked through the characters in that, not there

The Slythe thingy says 1986 Telepix L.C.I.T. Wolf.

The little pink alien says 2 Croco Made In China.

The hippy says R9491OBOBRRBO. Weird.

And the GI Joe cyborg jobby has 1994 SPLP VI Ltd..

Hope that helps.

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Thanks Acidona! I was in the middle of replying to Soupie's guesses when your reply came (seems logical). Should've guessed the cyborg was from Space Precinct, used to love that show and had all of the Pogs, mustn't've seen that particular episode though. The Sugar Puffs aliens, I seem to remember those now as well, and I'll have a look for some Butt-Ugly Martian figures, see if they match up. Be good to see some pictures of the figures you have that are similar to the pirates, maybe?


Love your purple-looking tube monster there, by the way.

Here's the Cyclops thing!



Got the bloody theme tune stuck in my head now

[Soupie]

Hm, then it is a Thundercat figure. See this thread: http://www.littlerub...d...st&p=187097

So all you need ID'd is the hippy figure and the pirates? I'm pretty certain that hippy dude is a Poopa Troopa-type toy. See attached image.

Is that your guy, third row down?

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Yep, that's my guy there, all's I need now is the pirates and the hippy, and those two little aliens as well.
I don't think the hippy is specifically a Pooper Trooper, he looks far too detailed to be one of them.
Thanks for the help!

I think he is a Reptilian from Thundercats - Slythe had an army of them

The Thundercats Mini's are pretty cool, I have a few of the flesh colored ones from Argentina - very nice indeed.

By the way - even if you find out the real name for them, i don't think anything would sound as cool as Leper Pirates!

Haha, yes, I had just recalled this as well overnight while I was sleeping. Memories of the cartoon lulled me to sleep, and I remembered the bumbling lizard dudes!

Here they are about 2:30 minutes in:

Fitz, you are a Internet-surfing master. I searched high and low for parachute-related toys to absolutely no avail. Well done.

[jkaris]

The 3 pirate guys. Are they Toxic Avenger?
http://images.google...&...sa=N&tab=wi

Remember the movie about the geek janitor who fell into some toxic waste and kicked all the bad guys' asses, while letting the audience enjoy copious amounts of cleavage from scantily clad hotties made primarily from silicon. <--- Link is rated "R".


I think there was a related cartoon to it, and these figures look right up that alley.

[BaltanII]

You're talking about Toxic Crusaders. That's what I thought as soon as I first saw them, but they're not actual characters from it from what I remember when I was younger and what I looked for once I first saw this thread. They could be knockoffs inspired by those designs though.

[dankingery]

troma makes the best movies.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

I swear I've seen those pirate guys on a cartoon or something. The Blue guy just looks SOOO Familiar to me...I can't place it at all!

[dankingery]

did the cyborg skeleton thingy remind anyone else of the inquisitor from red dwarf?

Wow, so I have Parafools and exiled aliens from a Whac-A-Mole thingy! Thanks for help, people. Is the Early Learning Centre still around? The one in Liverpool's now a Costa Coffee or something, but that actually looks like a really fun game. And those Parafools look good too, especially the guy who's reading whilst parachuting.

I know my Leper Pirates definitly aren't Toxic Crusaders, as I have the full series on DVD and they don't appear on it anywhere, but nice try.

[Acidonia]

I belive I know where the Lepper Pirates come from there from a line just called monsters from some company called Sungold. I rember them coming in cards like those shown on this site.
http://www.weirdotoys.com/

All of the figures have torn clothes the lab coat guy has orange slime or is it hair? coming from his hands and feet im sure I have 2 other ones of these also one looks like a goofy look ginger toxic avenger in a red and black jumper and another of a bandana wearing conan like guy with a bloody body and worms poping out of his skin but I could not find them to photo.

I had that mini Thunder cats lair toy when I was younger found it on the floor at a carboot sale although mines head was fully coloured in blue pen:(. Had the mini Tomb one too no longer have the playset but still have the Mum Rah it came with.

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Yeah, I was thinking the hunchback guy looked familiar when I went on WeirdoToys this morning. Those things in that picture look very similar, so I'm guessing that the "Monsters" had their own line of miniature variations? Thanks for that photo, where's it from?
