    I'm surprised these have never made a comeback.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    Never heard of them, but I'm assuming that's an 80's thing when my teenage years made me too cool for toys They feel like alien Smurfs.

      They were first released in Germany in the mid 70s but didn't become popular in the States until the early 80s and, yes, they are pretty much alien Smurfs. I had a bunch of the McDonalds ones when I was a kid.

          I have some of them. They’re very cute. I’m glad they’ve never made a comeback. It makes them very cheap for me.

            Moderately popular. Never reached remotely close to Smurf level of success. Probably on par with the Snorks.

                In Canada they got really good distribution through Irwin (AKA Kenner Canada) but I don't think they sold all that well. I liked the ships and playsets but I was 12.
