A couple of days ago I have get this Hanging Vampire in Ebay. The figure looks me very cool, but I know nothing about this toy. Anyone knows what toy is this and the year? Thanks :)

That one I've seen before...looks fairly recent. I think there's a picture of one of those in a Halloween toys 'n' graphics book I have. I'll go look for that. But figuring out what this one is doesn't seem too difficult.

Yes I'm sure that is a recent toy, at least looks like between years 90-2000, but is so cool ::) all the find you can find in your book is welcome :) Thanks.
It's a hanging Halloween decoration, I'm pretty sure it came out within the last 2 years.
It's not licensed or based on any particular character.

Thank you very much Dr. Terror :) I have seen that there are very interested stuff in the Halloween decoration.
I'm fairly certain that hanging toy was a Halloween decoration produced by FunWorld.
E.A.
I bought one from Michaels about 3 years back. I tucked all the hanging part up into the hollow head and it makes a nice shrunken vampire head.

Here's a rubber Creature that is unidentified (other than that it's marked "Hong Kong") in the Creature 1960s gallery album. Anybody know if it is from the 1960s, or anything else interesting about it?

Could it possibly be the Carded version of the AHI creature Jiggler??
I've only seen the Tagged larger AHI and vic's jiggler, never the middle sized carded version.
The middle sizes, especially the Mummy, look much different than the big ones.

I didn't know there were two sizes of AHI jigglers. Which one is this?

Thats probably the carded AHI.

They both can't be the carded one, as they are obviously different.
yours is a carded jiggler, the 60's jiggler is now still unknown.
Quote from: Dr.Terror on January 17, 2008, 09:34:40 PM

Oh. I still think it looks like an AHI, just not like any I've ever seen.
Major Creech collector "gillboy" says this is a complete collection of AHI Creatures. It's not a great pic, but all the jigglers look like 8 inchers, to me?

The stomach plate on this one looks different than the AHI's.

Here's the Vics. It's a bit different.

Here's a catalog pic that shows the carded and tagged jigglers. Wish it was bigger so I could see if they have sizes. It kinda looks like there is only one size, but that they came either carded, or tagged in the counter display box.

This is not an AHI rubber Creature. It is a different styled sculpt. Different head, different stomach scales, different proportions.

I think that is the carded version. It is smaller than the tagged version. I don't think it's a Vics. The finger claws are too long.

If you watch the In Love With Toys video segment with Andy Williams and Bob Monko, you will see a carded AHI Creature jiggler.

But same "hands up!" pose and wide open mouth. I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a post AHI knock-off, rather than a '60s item?

Have any idea how much smaller? In gillboy's pic, none of the rubber ones look anywhere near the size of the 5" Bend 'Ems.

Sweet line-up
I have a loose carded version and a couple of tagged versions. There is a lot of variation in the sizes of these things. "Variation" is AHI's middle name. But generally, the tagged one appears to be about an inch taller.

I have to agree with you Ray (disagreeing with you might get me a visit from Coffin Ray), I was just looking at the chest plate. This fingers are much different. On the unknown one, the feet are pretty defined.

Thanks! So we'll go with 8ish for the tagged and 7ish for the carded.
The vic's Creature has white eyes, AHI has blue.
The carded and tagged versions also have different item numbers on their backs.
Found a pic of the 8" jiggler.

Now that we got the AHI stuff straightened out, back to the original question.
What the heck is this thang?

Can he tell us the distinctions between the wigglers? What about the Bend 'Ems? Also, aren't there are two versions of the wide waist action figure?

You mean beyond the larger tagged and smaller carded?

Haven't heard that one? You're not talking about the one with the red paint on it, are you?
Quote from: Mike Scott on January 18, 2008, 09:55:15 PM

There are four in the photo you posted. I'd like to know the distinctions between them. I can see some color difference, but not really a size difference. Hell, I'd even like to know the item number on each. Is one the gold cord, another black? Were the carded wigglers sold w/ no cord in them? Were the counter dump ones sold the same way? The one in the gallery that is labeled as large has no cord. None of the pictured do. Were they released that way?
Quote[re: the Bend 'Ems] What about 'em?
There are two in the photo. How do they differ from one another? I'd like to know the distinctions between them.
Quote[re: two versions of the 2nd issue AHI Creature 8" figure] Haven't heard that one? You're not talking about the one with the red paint on it, are you?
Is the "one with the red paint" the red on the nails of the hands and feet? If so, no. The one in the photo is just missing that paint from use, correct? The two variations I'm talking about are the different head material colors and the yellow paint spray being far thicker than the one pictured (the one in the photo seems to be the more uncommon of the two already uncommon toys). The Wind Up Little Walkers seem to have the same phenomenon.
There are also two different trigger colors for each of the three monster squirt guns AHI released, including the Creature. Dunno if that has any correspondence to being carded or released in the counter display. Anyone else?
Is Gillboy a member here under a different name? I'd love to ask him these questions too.

I think those are just different paint jobs.

I don't think I've ever seen a cord on one? No cords visible in the catalog pics.

The two Bend Ems are just two Bend Ems.

I made a note in the description of it being the yellow trigger varient.

Not that I know of? He used to be a member of the Creature group.
The big jiggler came with a cord and a tag. I have a tagged one, as do many other collectors.
The wide-waist action figure is sometimes found with a head molded in flesh-colored vinyl (or whatever that rubbery material is) and painted green. I think this version is less common than the ones with molded green heads. As for the yellow paint being thick, I think that is just the way some of them came off the assembly line.
