I had to think there for a min.. couldnt quite place the Boglin.. I had one too little rubbery monster thing?.. Eyes used to pop out if you pushed them.. And a keeper.. Mine was a white rabbit in a wedding gown and it had a little green glow in the dark "finder" inside dressed as a groom

And the cabbage patch dolls.. Had a little one inside a plastic cabbage.. The cauliflour top came off and the doll was hiding inside..

I wanna be a kid again :rolleyes:

Simple times..

My sister had the purple one too.. It was a tortois or a turtle if my memory serves me.. with a white finder inside

I never really had any secrets to put in mine! Did u?
My Friend had the orange one, but God only knows what it was supposed to be!
Could have been a day version of the purple one, I remeber a kinda sleep hat thing it had...
the little finder things were a bit freaky werent they? just feet!
they glowed in the dark too!


Did anyone else have Glow-bugs, Flumps or Snuggle bums??
Or is it like my friends say, Im the only one!!:eek:

incisor71

Duplo chunky blocks
Lego castles, railways, lighting bricks
Action Man (with the glued-on navy jocks).... we had a "talkie" version too (pull a string and he uttered random military-related phrases from a sounder on his back).
Rubix cubes

that was about it really, the domestic toy budget had to be split nine ways!

No never really put anything into it... Wasnt really the most secure lock was it I think my lock broke after a few months or I may have lost the key and busted into it... I think the finders were supposed to used like a torch or something... I used to put mine on top of my lamp bulb for ages b4 I went to bed and it wud glow like mad (for about 3 minutes) :rolleyes:
