Of course! I had him as a kidd.. basically he does a lot of "bowing".

And if I had another, I'd have him in a tank, along with a small seaview model!

I remember good tipping action (which was powered by bubbles entering the upper half of the figure) was dependant on his positioning in the aquarium gravel. If the base wasn't cocked slightly back a little, the figure would hold in a forward position and bubbles would endlessly come out of his lower back.

Sounds familiar....   ;D

I had one in the fish tank as a kid, and I loved it!  I remember that it broke and we got another one, I just wish I still had it.
Long live the UMA!

All I can say is.......I'm speechless. Total shock, and nice score!!!!  Once on eBAY I had seen this Aquarium delight.
I only wish someday I will own one.

That is great!! Looks like a smaller version of the Aurora Creature.

Its amazing that, considering how many requests they get, they never re-issued this item. I think i would actually display one in an empty fish bowl.

I could never afford one so I made one for my fish tank out of a spare Burger King Creature ? Drilled 3 holes added an air supply and it works perfect and looks very cool :)

The original wasn't licensed and they wouldn't get away with that, now and wouldn't want to pay one for just this one toy.

Mike, I've been thinking how cool it would be to have an animated gif of the Penn Plax aquarium figure bending up and down in a bubbly fish tank.
