What toy is this???

[michblk]

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

Mike, this one looks like the Vics to me.

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?

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.

Thanks! Now we have a pic for the gallery!

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?

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.
