A few days ago, I got an email asking if I could identify a specific toy from our Frank and Son collectible show, but I have no idea what it is:

Anyone know the identity of this walking turd-like creature?

Mockery · #2

I received that email as well and couldn't place the toy. I know I've seen it before... but maybe that's because it kinda looks like Jeff Goldblum once he was completely transformed into The Fly.

It kind of looks like one of the guys from that Japanese Power Ranger show. Toy Joy has a bunch of them; I should be in that area this weekend, so I'll check to see if it's there.

I think I saw a Yugoslavian educational film about the dangers of smoking that starred a character that looked remarkably similar to that chap there.

its lord ignacious or whatever from that one xfiles episode

Wow, I don't know about that one.
It reminds me of a lot of things without actually being any of them.

That's a Dungeons and Dragons toy. About the time of the D&D action figure line, there was a D&D line of pvc monsters. I think the line was called Advanced Dungeons and Dragons or something like that. I mostly recall because my older brother had that same figure. The holes in his face near his mouth are from pincers that had broken off.

So was it supposed to be an Umber Hulk then?

EDIT: Looks like it is http://cgi.ebay.com/Dungeons-Dragons...-/120681565994

Mystery solved! Thanks, robo_rob!

I would have never guessed that with picture at that angle (you can't see the red eyes) and without the pincers.

Damn Pentegarn, that was some speedy image finding!
Exact same angle and with no pincers. Good job.

If RoboRob hadn't mentioned Pincers and the D&D line I would have had no clue myself

Dr. Boogie · #12

Oh man, I never would have guessed umber hulk. You'd think they wouldn't be so proud of one missing its pincers.

Big ups to Robo_rob for finally getting to the bottom of this mystery. I know of one curious I-Mock fan who will be very grateful to have this information.

Mockery · #13

Wow, I even remember that pile of gold with the bones in it, but yeah... never would've guessed this figure. Well done, Robo_rob & Pentegarn!

robo_rob · #14

No prob guys. I recall my brother getting it the same day I got Trap-Jaw at a local Kay Bee. Weird how memories work.

Pentegarn · #15

You got the better toy IMO

robo_rob · #16

I agree.

I had a toy when I was little and I never could figure out what it was from. He was green, like a hunter green, and his hands were suction cups. He had a sucker for a mouth too but squirted water. he had orange bands on his forearms and i think he had a red skull on his chest. I remember him looking kind of scary too. I know it sucks that I cant find a picture but like I said, I'm not sure where he was from of what his name was. I think it was an 80's toy.

It belonged to my older brother but he broke the foot, so he gave it to me.

That's Leech from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Yeah! That's him!!! Wow, thanks guys! I'm surprised you figured it out with such spotty details, you guys are awesome. Man I didn't know he came with a crossbow, that would have been cool to have.
So he was from He-Man...that's why I didn't recognize him. I was born in 87, and being a girl, I mostly watched My Little Pony, The Gummy Bears, and Tiny Toons.

Thank you again, darkvare and Leader.
