To me that toy kind of looks like a Sprite mixed with a Popple mixed with a Sesame Street Honker.

Sorry mine is not for sale, but it is cute. I found it at an antiques mall I am hoping at some point more information on these will be found.

They're so... homely! They're really ugly and fluffy and I just want to collect them all and put them on my (nonexistant) shelf with the rest of my collection.

Going to keep an eye out for them as well. I will tell you if I find out anything!

retardedtoast  Nice find on ebay. I paid 1.50 for the one I found at an antiques mall. I have never seen another one. I wish I could find one MOC some day. I will post a new photo some other time.

Not sure if this is of any help, but Graphics International apparently also produced toys on behalf of other companies. For example, they produced some plush toys of the Shirt Tales characters for that line's creator, Hallmark.

Could the Zoomernauts have been greetings card/impulse gift item characters, perhaps?

I forgot to add: Here is the tag that was attached to a plush toy manufactured by Graphics International, that I have;



This Heartline branding was used for multiple gift items manufactured/distributed by Graphics International. Also, their US base of operations was in Kansas City, Missouri, if that helps further. :)
