It was a letters game and it would say “find the letter a” in a robotic voice and then you would press the letter “a” and so on? I thought it was Speak and Spell, so I paid more than $50 on eBay for one only to find out that it’s not the toy I was thinking of.

Does anyone remember this game and know the name of it?

They definitely weren’t He-man. One of them had pale skin, pink hair and wore a black eye mask mask.

They popped together and bent in all directions like a flexi-straw. I thought they were called Popples, but I think I’m wrong and I can’t find them in any searches!

Back in the 80s there was a stage show with plastic dolls that had snap on clothes you would set them on a stage and they would twirl around and show off their clothes what was the name?

It was a rubber piece that fit into your mouth? http://retrotoysandgames.net/573/im-trying-to-figure-the-name-of-a-toy-from-the-80s-it-was-a-rubber-piece-that-fit-into-your-mouth/ http://retrotoysandgames.net/573/im-trying-to-figure-the-name-of-a-toy-from-the-80s-it-was-a-rubber-piece-that-fit-into-your-mouth/#comments Fri, 30 Apr 2010 11:37:51 +0000 admin http://retrotoysandgames.net/573/im-trying-to-figure-the-name-of-a-toy-from-the-80s-it-was-a-rubber-piece-that-fit-into-your-mouth/ I think there were 8 or 10 different ones. It was flesh colored with an image in the middle to appear as if it were in your mouth. I remember one was an eyeball, one was a dead rat, a baseball etc. PLEASE help, this is driving me nuts. Thanks in advance for your help.

I had a second hand one in the early 1990’s as a child, it was one of my favorite toys. It was featured on James May’s Top Toys but I didnt catch the name.
Yes, your right it was the Swiss Family Robinson!!

Do you know who manufactured it?
