So, I was looking through a stack of my old Beano comics recently, when I happened across a page that folk here might be interested in. Good thing I have a scanner! Here it is:
My comics blog - mostly lesser-known UK stuff from the 1980s and 1990s
Collection Piccies!
Identify these toys?
WANT/NEED! Warmonger (from Mighty Max's Skull Mountain), will trade for Alien Magic!

Ah, Beano and Boglins - a mix of pure nostalgia if I ever saw one! What a cool advert though, I know it's a cliché but they really don't make em like that any more!!
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I'd say pretty high, since the Beano had a circulation of quarter of a million or so in the early 1990s.

Tha reminds me of the frosties box. Amazing.
I work for a Utilities company and the company had a campaign about what not to flush in the toilet. The mascot looks like a Boglin (thought it has legs when its not in the crapper) http://www.origincre...-Utilities.html

Ha, that's amazing!
Is that on any bus stops or telly adverts or anything? I don't have access to television, and I don't ride buses, so I wouldn't know...
