I remember there being a Robbie Robot from Forbidden Planet and several others but, I can't remember what they were. As you mentioned, there were different textures of material. The Robbie Robot I had was very soft foam rubber and didn't hold up well but, the three I still have are very firm rubber. I'd love to get all of them again!Turbo Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282901468378489997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24914557.post-67046851738837075772007-10-20T17:21:00.000-05:002007-10-20T17:21:00.000-05:00I've never manged to get any of these, other than ...I've never manged to get any of these, other than a blue "I Married a Monster From Outer Space" alien which underwent some weird chemical decomposition.

I've got just a couple of these in my collection but, apart from the Saucer Men & the Fly, I'd never recognized them as being based on any particular movie monster. I should have at least caught the Ymir. It gives me oodles of respect for the designers that they would crib a creature as obscure as that whatzit from Destination Inner Space.<BR/><BR/>And being buried under a pile of tiny rubber space aliens would probably be the coolest way any person has ever died!Steven Altishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875052344049726210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24914557.post-48514104962798338832007-10-18T15:03:00.000-05:002007-10-18T15:03:00.000-05:00Great post NC!
