Yeah, there's not a ton of info out there on those Gigantor jigglers, but in addition to my Flickr set Rid shared I also have a blog post on them which might shed a bit more light:

Nice, thanks for the swift reply all.
I was kind of bummed at the slim pickins at the local meet of the swap today..
However, finding that Gigantor Jiggler more than makes up for it.
Now who gets the credit? :{

Did you know your light blob was GID?
Did you know it was safety tested for children of all ages?
Now you know.
And knowing is half the battle.

Whaaaaa? I can usually spot a GID toy across a crowded room with one eye half shut. I did not suspect that.
Sure enough, the paint glows. Good eye man.
"GI Joe was theeeere!"
