Hello everyone! My goal the last few months (and still) has been to complete all my toys from days past. The first step in that process is to i.d. the darn things. I have 99% of them identified because most of them have been fairly obvious; tmnt, ghostbusters, gi joe. m-force etc. This dude is one of the few remaining guys from childhood that I haven't been able to i.d. I am hoping someone might recognize him. It is approximately 3" tall in this stationary, sitting position. It is a pliable black rubber and has "HONG KONG" on the back of each leg. The helmet is a paint app. It is likely that it was some random convenient store pick up, I am guessing from 1982-88. I am thinking the only accessory he may have had was his motorcycle. Any thoughts?

Not sure what they were called.
I had several as a kid, so they must have been cheap.
Some had plastic motorcycles, and some had die-cast bikes/atvs.

No promises, but I will check.
I may still have one of the motorcycles, if you want it.

I would say mid to late 80s if not early 90s for your rubber biker dude.

It looks like a variation or reissue of one of those evil kenevil stunt cycle toys.


The original was in the 70s but I remember a few reissues/knockoffs in the 80s and 90s..

That leather biker outfit looks to have been heavily influenced by mad max.

I am thinking they were probably pretty cheap as well. I had a dollar store, 2 drug stores and several smaller chain grocery stores nearby growing up. I had a lot of cheap toys (not the good kind lol).... I would definitely and gladly take you up on the that I'm sure I could find something worthy of trade.

I have that Knievel figure that I recently found at a thrift store. He tows a wagon around full of misfits. 

 

I probably wouldn't be concerned about completing him but his get-up is bad ass. I couldn't toss him but he looks a bit ridiculous sitting on the edge of the shelf. He falls off half the time and the other half he looks like he is trying to chuck a deuce. He really needs his bike.

At first I thought it was a Hasbro Motorcycle Demon rider from the 70's.

I thought this was it after viewing your post. Upon further inspection, it is not unfortunately. They are very similar. My pictures might not show it but the posture of this guy is vertical when sitting rather than laying forward. The helmet is off as well. They are two different styles including the visor. This guys mold line runs right down the side as well.

I looked into these guys as well but they are poseable. This guy is fixed prone in the sitting position.

 

Thanks for both of your responses.
