Manimal by Fleetwood

[countzackula]

Anyone who's heard of Fleetwood toys knows what they're all about...cheap, yet oddly cool pharmacy or rack toys! Usually they make weird little novelty dart guns and plastic tea sets, but occasionally made some nice figural stuff like these. They are from the Manimal line...based off of a short-lived 80s drama about a guy who could turn into animals and solved mysteries and such. I'm almost positive they only made three, but if anyone else objects, let me know!





You can barely make out the humanoid features on the two cats...these were made to be the main character in partial transformation. The snake guy may or may not have been utilized in another line by Fleetwood.

Those are cool, I completely forgot about manimal.

From what I (barely) remember about "Manimal," he could turn into a panther, a cobra, and an eagle. I guess they skipped the eagle. The one thing "Manimal" couldn't turn into was a hit series!

He turned into a bull in one episode too.

I still have the three different circular lenticular "medallions" that came on the bottom of large "Orange Julius" drinks from the fast food chain of the same name, but other than that I've never heard of any licensed Manimal merchandise at all. I'd love to see the packaging for these.

I think in the UK they did publish a Manimal annual.
