Okay without a picture this may be hard but my brother who was born in 89, some time after around the time pogs came out, we were collecting a line of little rubber ninja figures about the height of a muscleman but fat and a bit bubble shaped. They were a softer rubber and came all painted in different colors (one pose per color) A blue dude with an orange sword and orange dude with a blue sword....several others. We had maybe 50 but most were duplicates, there was green and yellow and black too. I was thinking they were just called Ninjas and the A may have been a throwing star or maybe ninjas was an acronym. I have looked everywhere for these things with no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Early to mid 90s Rubber Ninjas?

There are only six sculpts, but I don't know how many different color palletes they came in. I still have the ones I got as a kid, and they have been on display forever. They are just a small part of my large collection that I would never part with. Loved those guys. 
Think I got em around 89 or 90.

I've never seen that one. Must be a different set. Interesting. Any date stamp?

II found out that they made two sets of ninjas, one set older than the ones I had I believe, they had wrestlers, pirates, some weird fantasy ones, these barney knock off looking dinosaur kids which my brother did have, and even longer ago still robin hood, and a taller fantasy figure line that goes for a ton of money but they looked like voltron size figures.I've never seen that one. Must be a different set. Interesting. Any date stamp?
