    They were out before then, well similar idea, in the mid 80s they were more like spiders or an octopus.

    similar to them but the string part was skinnier, they might have been banned from the school


    the next craze was the 'bomb bag', you squeeze it and a packet of vinegar opens inside into baking soda causing it too expand until it explodes

    Used to always get the sticky figure men around halloween. Was fascinating throwing them at the wall and seeing them slowly descend backwards:D
