Finally one of these came up on my saved search list, but i was pissed that the seller was in the U.K, and the auction said that there was no international shipping. After a few days i just thought what the hell and just ask if shipping to the U.S was possible. Not only was he okay with that, he said he would ship it the next day. i thought it was turning into a BIN, but when i asked him for a total, he just said whatever the auction ends at. So i asked him if he had two of them, thinking he may be sending an extra. His reply was sorry, he wished he had another one he could sell me. Thank god i won the auction.

That thing actually makes me nauseous when I look at it. There is something vaguely, horribly sexual about that toy. Excellent find.

I love this toy! I can see hours of play with it. Okay, so I now see the one eye reference (thanks to that horrible deformation), it's just missing the horn :) I have to ask though, what in gods name does it do with batteries? I am only guessing from the box art that maybe it makes some kind of gruesome devouring sound :twisted:

Really, this toy kicks ass. The only think I can think of that would push it over the top into all-out gore delight is if the 'men' were something a little less cartoony, say island natives or soldiers or something. Sure, the toy would probably get banned in a heartbeat for not being kid-appropriate, but I love anything that can devour other toys!!

Did you notice you had to give it a "reach around" to pull the little red men out of its mouth? Its supposed to growl and one eye lights up.

That is the first toy I can't look at wow soo ugly and scary too. The kid on the box looks happy though. How does it work? Does it have a stomach the little red people go into?

FUDGE, I specifically don't come into the vintage forum because I'm afraid of all the cool shit I might want to hunt down. So I figure I'll just look around and I have to see this... Now I know I should stay the hell out of here, I'm broke enough.
