    Pump Up Thing

    HEY EVERYBODY,
    I'm sure someone can help me out. When I was a kid I had this Thing (from the Fantastic Four) playset where you would crumple him up, place him in this break-away crate/box, and start pumping him up with air until he broke out of the crate ! It was the absolute best toy ! Can anybody shed some light ?

    I'm not certain but I belive there was a Hulk version of this toy as well.

        I remember there being an inflatable Thing that brock out of a rock trap/cave. There was a Hulk Rage Cage made by the same people.

          I'm pretty sure these were made by Funstff Toys in the late 70s. In addition to the Hulk and Thing, they also made a Frankenstein that rose off his table when pumped and a Dracula who sat up from his coffin when pumped. Very cool toys, I've had the figures from them from time to time, but never a complete one I could play with.

            It was made by Funstuf. Here's a flyer showing it.
