Subject: What toy is this?

Written By: BUBBA on 04/30/05 at 11:04 pm

Ok, well I have no idea how to insert a picture, but I am trying to figure out what stuffed toy I have, and I seem to remember it is from the 80s.  It is a 14" tall red furry monster guy with big googly eyes and his tongue sticking out, and you can stick your hand in back of him to make his mouth work...kinda like a puppet.  On his tag he says manufactured by Yangjee company.  Any ideas?  Its driving me crazy because I just cant remember!

Thanks
Jamie

This is a long shot but I to am looking for that name of the toy u described I have a green on a white one and a red one my dad use to tease us with the green one he called mot mot  but I don't think that's the name? Ugg I really want to know.. hope u can help.. its not an animal or a gremlin puppet just a fuz ball with glowing eyes stubby arms and feet and a tongue that flops out and a place for your hand in the back so u can work the mouth ..

Here's My Pet Monster's 2001 reboot.

Here's a link to some 1986 originals.  Note the "Rark" figure at the bottom of the page - if there was more than one character in the series, maybe that's one of them?

Another possibility; I found something else from Yangjee in while googling around.  Apparently they were made in various styles/colors, but does this Furble look familiar?

Yes!  It is a furble!!  I have been trying to remember what they were called.  My brother and I had one when we were little...glad to finally figure it out!
