I had several sets of these as a kid - they were sold damn near everywhere - but now, I haven't seen them in years. Does anybody else have them all? I was thinking of writing a page for them but would need pictures (and would be interested in them for a good price, but this isn't necessarily a "wanted" thread)



These versions are quite common, but are smaller and far less detailed. Cute, though.



Likewise, this more modern series is widely available, and I have to say it's pretty awesome. The diversity is far superior to the original line (I looove that brain/elephant/alien thing!) but of course I already devoted a webpage to this set.

Interestingly, I have a plastic dinosaur creature whose head and arms are the same mold as one of the old-school puppets. They had one for each of them, but I got mine at a fair and couldn't win the same game again.

I have some original finger puppets that came with some rubber uglies, let me know when you need some pictures.

They are staying in Essex though!

I had a bunch of the original ones - the red guy on the right was my favourite! As I recall, they all had a very distinctive trademark symbol; much different from the usual Hong Kong stamp. Of course, these guys were made in Hong Kong as well, but they were classy

I used to have a whole bunch of these when I was a kid! I'll try looking through the old collections to see if I can find any...probably not. But I used to get them at big truck stop/tourist traps all along the highways we would travel during family vacations. I loved them so much that when I tore the arm off of one accidentally, I begged my dad with tears in my eyes to fix him!!! We melted the rubber with a lighter and 'glued' it back on.

I found one of mine recently! I'll have to take a photo for your site, scythe (I love bogleech, by the way - awesome site!).
