Hi! Could you someone help me to identify what exactly are these? They must be from the 70's or 80's. All of them were made in Honk Kong and it seems all have the same company logo (it looks like the letters 'A', 'T' and 'S' overlapped), though the two bats have as trademark "Gigantor" and the little monsters-insects don't: one has "Brabo" as a trademark and the other two doesn't have any name, at least of what I can see (even so, it seems obvious that the three monsters must come from the same collection). 

So, given the company logo appears to be the same, I don' know why the bats have one name and the monsters another different, may be one of them is not the company name but the name of the collection, may be the company changed its name over the years...?

I've seen on Ebay and other places similar figures made in Honk Kong called jijgglers, I guess this name can be given to the little monsters I have, I don't know about the bats.

Any additional info would be very well welcomed!

Jiggler is just a generic term describing their material, essentially. Really its the action they have when moved due to their material. 'Jiggler' just helps distinguish them from other plastics and rubbers. The smaller ones are often referred to as Slurfies. As to the brand I don't know. Not sure it matters as there was hundreds and probably thousands of factories pumping these things out.

If you want to part with the smaller ones, let me know. Good luck with the hunt.

Thanks! I supposed that name refered to their movement, but I wasn't sure if other figures other than little monsters, like the bats here, also received the same name. If I have plan to sell them I let you know.
