Title: Poseable Caterpillar (fuzzy purple, large eye at end) [Nov 2009]
Post by: Ghost Of The Doll on Sunday 07 March 2010, 07:11 pm

Emily emailed me this scary caterpillar toy image and description:

"Hi, I bought this toy around 1991 in a toy store in Canada (near Niagara falls). The toy store was selling unique toys like Boglins and the plastic skeleton hand that you slip your hand in and can move all of the skeleton fingers. It had a little box on top that would extend plastic spikes. I don't know the name or manufacturer of that toy either. The skeleton hand is more common than the toy described below.

Pictured is a bendable and poseable (by plastic ball joints) caterpillar about 20 inches in length. There is a big eye on each end of the caterpillar. When you shake it up and down it makes the same sound a noise stick makes. The body is plastic and has fuzzy purple hair on each segment of the caterpillar. I can't find any labels, tags or stamps to identify it. Please help me find who made these."

I just watched a dvd that showed an episode of Dragon's Lair and the vines that the hero was swinging from in a couple of scenes looked very similiar to this. I couldn't find any good Dragon's Lair sites though. Just that it was a video game and short lived show. They are exactly the characters I pictured when I first saw the picture of the toy.

I thought for sure someone would be able to identify this little guy, he looks so familiar. Any other idea's anyone?
