Noooo, but Thanks for tryin, Ultrakaiju! These were MUCH cooler than that, w' "Mad Ball" type graphics, if I'm remembering them correctly.
The shape is more like a turtle shell or German half helmet.
The sticky wheel rollers were hidden under the bottom.
It's Still driving me crazy trying to remember what these were & find picture examples.
I remember that they were cheap white plastic "turtle shell" looking things, about the size of an egg (but circular), with fun / gross graphics on the top, sticky gel coated rollers under the bottom, and you would race them down walls or windows. Ha, most of the time they would just fall to the floor, but they were soooo cool looking. Definitely an 80s toy.
Arrgh, if only I had a name. Does anyone else remember these? I would love to get my hands on some.
just got these in the mail, courtesy of Eric Nilla (except for the Gargamel micro, that came from my very first trade on the boards). Rubbery Keshi goodness
