Monday Mystery: Name That Monster

I was digging through the toy drawer and I came across a little monster. I remember playing with this little guy when I was a kid. I can't recall what toy line he's from though.

His mouth is just a big hole that goes straight through!


Does anyone out there know who this little guy is?

    1. This little guy has been stumping me for a while now. I thought he might be a Beetlejuice toy, because I remember playing with him and a Beetlejuice figure. Who knew he was a Gak Pack figure? Well, I guess Miss M knew, lol.

  2. I literally spent the past half hour searching online in vain to help figure out the mystery of the hole mouthed, armless monster. But I fear I failed you.

    1. Sorry about that man! This was a tough one! I made poor Laura of Boo Bobby search and search for this the origins of this one obscure Lion Gargoyle toy.

      I'm the same way, I'll search for hours to find out what a toy is, I just have to know!

  3. I am not 100% sure on this, but he looks like these little monsters my brother had from a Nickelodeon Gak play set.

  4. By Jove, you've got it! I did a little Gak research and found this article, complete with photographic evidence:

    So, this little guy was one of 4 yellow "little alien figures". Cool! I think I'll name my little guy Gak Man. Thank you for solving the mystery!

    1. Yeah, this little guy seems quite uncommon. I love finding weird, obscure toys like this from my childhood. I'm glad I hung onto this little guy! I wish I had the 3 other figures, but I'm afraid they're lost for good.

      I really should take some better pictures of him in the future

    I'm pretty sure I had at least a couple of these aliens and not just the one posted here. Maybe they'll turn up one day.
