Hi all, please don't think I only post here wheren i want somehting lol, but I do want something today, Bootsale Season is over so I've gotten a small selection of things that i bought on impulse that I wondered if yuo could ID for me, and a couple of old things that I've half-remembered or kind-of found and need some help with them, would you lot mind?

 

First off the 'new batch', apologies for my horrid photography skills:

 

 

not too many

 

1. IDENTIFIED - Greywolf from Hasbro's Conan the Adventurer

2. IDENTIFIED - Grouch from Sugar Puffs' Prehistoric Pet Corner by Quaker

3. these...things were an actual brand (think Super Soaker) from a recognisable manufacturer not just random nameless stuff sold during the summer, I'm sure of it. I can't even begin to describe it - net like trombones in a sphere? it's purpose is to bounce crazily around, again from the mid-to-late 90's

4. A buff wizard action figure (which is exactly why I bought him)

5. IDENTIFIED - Hombre Lobos from Comansi's Super Monstruos

6. pirate head 'spit ball' (not an official one), he's a little smaller than the modern Spitballs and Madballs but has a hard plastic base that implies he slotted into something via a quick twist

 

IDENTIFIED - T.H.I.N.G.Z.

 

 

Finally, I have to be difficult because i don't actually have any pictures of these luckily i do have a good visual memory, so bare with me and my MS Paint skillz:

 

1) IDENTIFIED - Spinjas by Tomy (i'm leaving the MS Paint picture up to amuse you all )

 

 

2) this is a little harder, because i can't remember what the actual gun looked liked - but it was a gun, a handheld water-postol affair about the size of a Nintendo Zapper but stubbier, it's gimmick was you bought water that stunk (the bottle for the water is pictured below, they were sold on blister cards) fragrances like 'Old Pizza' and 'Garbage' (so it must have been American I figure) this was sold in the early-to-mid nineties, bottles of stinky water came in at least red, yellow and blue bottles. I'm pretty sure someone on this board buys/collects this line.

 

 

Thanks for reading this wall o' text and for any help you can give, sorry to be a pain (as usual!).

The things with the Monster Connector are... Thingz!

Your first MS Paint effort is Spinjas

 

The second may be something to do with Stink Blasters, but this is just an educated guess

[waaaaghlord]

Your werewolf is a Super Monstruos figure from Yolanda.

[dwitefry]

Thanks you two! that was quick, and awesomely helpful - knowing what Spinjas are makes me VERY happy, and these Super Monstruos look awesome, i've missed out on these. Sadly Stink Blasters, while awesome looking (off to ebay I go) is not what the gun belongs too, the came out too recently and the gun/guns was the focus of the line, ta for letting me know what Stink Blasters are tho!

[waaaaghlord]

No worries. You'll generally find Yolanda figures in one of two varieties, mono coloured in a harder PVC or painted over a softer rubber.

Would it be impolite for me to BEG you for that "Thingz" figure shaped like a bottle with a straw coming out of his head? It's the last one I need for the full set!

The prehistoric fish im sure is a UK cereal toy from the 90s of prehistoric pets that i think might of been found in shredies or wheetos. You should be able to find it on Yowiemagie.co.uk they have most UK cereal promos on there

Yowiemaggie is back online? wow, *checks* so it is! fantastic i thought it was dead (in fact I though Maggie herself might be dead, I'm glad she isn't) she has so many premiums from my childhood and goosebumps too, sure enough the fish was on here, he's from a Sugar Puffs promotion - thanks!

These...these are licensed toys? from a cartoon? I am shocked, but also compelled to at least get the Conan the Adventurer, Wrath-Amon and Skullkur figures (funnily enough I got a Conan the Explorer figure at a bootsale this weekend) thanks mate, that was really helpful, I've wondered about Greywolf here since I was about 6!

Hah, great attempt to describe this thing, I had one that looked exactly like it too but I don't know what it was called. I don't feel like it's actually that old either, maybe post-2000. The one I had was used as a dog toy.

 

Also, the Spinjas MS paint cracked me up, but it definitely bears the likeness. I still have my Spinjas from my childhood and wouldn't mind collecting them, but they sell for way more than I'd be willing to pay. Pretty common for single figures to sell for ~$30. They're fun to play with though!
