The vic's Creature has white eyes, AHI has blue.

The carded and tagged versions also have different item numbers on their backs.

Now that we got the AHI stuff straightened out, back to the original question.

What the heck is this thang?

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?

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?

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.
