    Ben Cooper "Stoney"

    Remember the rubber caveman jiggler? When I was a kid, he was everywhere. It's hard for me to even guess how many were made, they were so abundant. Yet, now, I never see them on eBay, no matter what search terms I use. In your esteemed opinions, what's going on here? Shouldn't there be a bunch floating around? I can't find him to save my life.

    BTW, when I was a kid, I thought he was weird looking and didn't care much for him. Now, however, I want one because he was so ubiquitous.

    I have never seen or heard of him before, but the link below on the first row of pictures has two shots of him:

      Seems to be rare. I havent seen one on ebay either and I'm also searching.

        I've always held the opinion nothing's unique and patience will pay off, but I saw hundreds of these as a kid without ever having owned one; however, if one was to go by eBay, it would be impossible to prove they were ever made. I'm guessing they were easily torn up or dirty because of the cheapness of the rubber and people just chucked them. I'd even see him in grocery stores on toy racks, back in the day.

        I did think it was weird he was wearing leaves instead of fur, even as a kid.
