Lots-a-Lots-a-Leggggggs :: Original Variations & Packaging

"The outrageous caterpillar with lots-a-sneakers, lots-a-socks, and lots-a-lots-a-leggggggs!"

Lots-a-Lots-a-Leggggggs was produced by Commonwealth in 1984, and again in 1998. They were colourful, plush caterpillars with a multitude of legs, wearing multi-coloured socks with sneaker-printed feet. In Greece they were produced by El Greco, in Italy by Gig and in France by Ideal. Some are also marked with Hasbro.

They were sold in the UK, US and parts of Europe under varying names:

UK & US: Lots-a-Lots-a-Leggggggs
France: Mille Pa-Pattttttes
Italy: Tante Tante Gambe
Greece: Trexalitsa

Original Plush ~ Variations

There were two subtle variations produced, depending on whether they were made in Taiwan or China. Toys made in Taiwan were produced with knitted scarves and socks, whilst the ones made in China were produced with woven scarves and socks (there are far less Chinese versions). The eyes varied too as the knitted versions had red colouring with pupils looking to the left, whilst the woven kind had a more sleepy look.

Variations ~ Labels

The logos on the labels also varied. Later production in Taiwan changed to the font to the same as China as far as I can work out, and is less common.

Original Plush ~ Packaging

Packaging differed from country to country. US and Italian packaging were the same (apart from the text), but the French and Greek packaging were quite different.
