its a wind up that hops around. According to the box, a frankenstien and a skeleton were also available.

Could you post some pics of the box?  The art is very unique.

yea, i bought them at a flea market. I was excited when that guy said, "Well, I've had these for awhile. No one seems to want them. So i'll give them ALL to you for $5.

Strangely enough, that is EXACTLY how I worded the auction when I put my kids up on eBay.

One of my all time fave monster toys from the 60's. I continually bought that bubble bath thru many of its monster, cartoon, super hero incarnations as a kid.

One of our earliest Christmas gifts my brother and I remember receiving were Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck bubble bath containers. Maybe 1963? We made them last for ages. They sat on the edge of the bath, and the next year we added Pluto and Goofy to our set. I think we eventually used the empty bottles as skittles.

These days, I have these sitting on the edge of my bath:


Alien, NASA and Borg bubblebath by Therin of Andor, on Flickr

Bubble bath from "Toy Story 3" (2010) and "Star Trek: First Contact" (1996), with an Avon "Moon Flight" bubble bath capsule dating back to the early 70s.

I inherited the Apollo capsule from a friend in about 1986, but dating back to his childhood - and it is still full of bubble bath. It has sat on my bathtub ever since, and the box (with stickers to be applied when the capsule is empty) is carefully stored away somewhere... but I don't actually recall a fold-up game board, as I noted on someone else's Flickr account! The numbered sides of the lunar lander is the die, "popped" off the rest of the bottle to move your counters.

I used to have that Borg bottle, back when I actively collected Star Trek toys in the 90's. There was also an Enterprise-E container from "First Contact". I've never come across that Toy Story alien though. Was he made for the Australian market?
