Amphibian or Amphibious rubber figure from the 70s

[DavidCoppola]

New here and have a question about a figure i had in the early 70s.

It was part of a set of figures in soft rubber.

The figure I had was called Amphibious or Amphibian. It was about 10" tall and had gills and was of very soft rubber....any ideas? Thanks, Dave.

Never heard of this, but out of curiousity, can you give any more details?

[DavidCoppola]

I believe it was around 1973 or so. I am pretty sure that it was 10" or so, because I paired it with Action Jackson and the early Mego Superheroes.

It was part of a group of extraterrestials. He was the biggest and I believe he was kind of like a bendy with a wire frame. He was made of thick rubber, like a rubber snake.
He looked kind of like the Creature from the Black Lagoon only thicker.

Not ringing a bell with me on the figure, but welcome to the boards!

If it was an OSM, probably Colossus Rex.

Yikes! I was going to suggest it might be Kretor from the Sea Devils toy line.

Not sure why I thought it was Amphibious,but them again, it was the early 70s and memories tend get mixed up.
