            this line was an amazing fun idea. My favorite of vintage MEGO. The male bodies had a spring lever similar to the Fonz that would swing the arm down when released. The magnet on the foam 'spear' also stuck to the hand on the lever arm, so when it was flicked, the spear would shoot off. The beasts had metal plates on them that you could try to stick the spears on.

              I really liked that gimmick, need more toys with magnets.
              I believe in psychics, but I also believe in charlatans and mental illness.

                Nice item, but I’m pretty sure that box is a reproduction
                Warm up?! We may as well sit around this cigarette!
