Title: Can you identify this toy figure?
Post by: Otaking on January 29, 2017, 11:31:52 AM
Anyone know what toy figure this is? I can't work it out.
It looks like maybe Boglins or Ghostbusters, but can't find anything searching around on google.
There's no small writing/details on it to give any leads.

Holy shit! Haven't seen one of these little fellas in years.

Yeah, they're called "Pornographobe Monsters From The Dark."

As far as I know they're all handmade and were in very short supply. What you hold is something incredibly rare. Make sure to take care of it. Hope this helps. Have a great day and God bless.

Was he even being serious? I Googled "Pornographobe Monsters From The Dark", since I've never heard of them, and got no reults.

Yeah I thought it was just a joke answer, didn't sound real.
Apologies if it is the real answer and it's just a really obscure toy figure.  :D

Is there any kind of info on the bottom, company, dates, copyrights & such?  Maybe a part number. I would think there's gotta be something molded on the bottom  :-k

It probably came out of a quarter vending machine.

Remember those that had the hen inside, you put a quarter in, it would cluck and lay an egg? I loved those...

We had the hen one when I was growing up, but the Fred Flintstone one sticks in my mind much better:

There is no info on it all, no numbers, no writing. It's just blank.

Anyone else sad Pornographobe Monsters From The Dark wasn't a toy series line? It has real potential.

Yes, I was wondering if all of those random would ever be documented (but I doubt it).

When I was a kid, I loved a series of NASA (and maybe USSR?) rockets that were quickly assembled: tiny cardboard tube, plastic cone, sticker (to wrap around tube) and plastic fins.

Those stupid rockets were cheap, but I looked forward to getting a new one every weekend at the supermarket.

Simple things.

I Googled it to make sure that the hoax wasn't a hoax itself, and I still don't know.

For some reason I love that A.) the mystery is solved and B.) Half of the figures look like Basket Case copyright infringement.
