Thanks for all the flashback input guys. I never had any of these things growing up. If you run across any of the other characters, please share the wealth

I had some of these when I was a kid. As I recall, I got them from some kind of discount store and they came in individual plastic bags with a cardboard header stapled to the top. As for the color differences, I had Ooggy, which was the same color as yours, a blue Tiggy and a purple Okky. I have no idea what happened to them. Likely, I bent them too many times and the wires popped out, as always. I came here via Dinosaurs & Robots

Thanks for the flashback.

I’ve got a Tiggy that I’ve actually had since 1983 or thereabout. If I remember right, my dad bought it for me at either the creepy, homely mom-and-pop convenience store near my house at the time (it was called “Jane’s Market”) or at a random truck stop during one of our many travels together. It was sold loose, though, just in a plastic fishbowl bin with the others. I suppose they bought boxes by the case and just dumped the loose toys in there to make a little extra markup.

Great blog, I’m adding your feed.

I could never remember their names myself. You already know some of these, but Ooggy comes in blue or pink, Tiggy comes in blue or light brown, Blobby comes in blue or yellow, Mooky comes in green or hot pink, Uggy comes in blue or red, and Okky comes in blue or pink. Lots of blue alternates!
