>These finger puppet monsters were once quite common, originating in the 50’s, until the original molds used to create them actually broke by the early 2000’s. Apparently only one set of the molds existed and only one factory was still making them, according to Archie Mcphee, the last place to have been distributing them at the time.

I remember these, but I'm pretty sure I had the shite knockoffs. My preschool/kindergarten had a fundraising fair every year with 10/$1 tickets you could use at games. The prizes were the cheapest crap possible, but I can home with a bag full of precious plastic garbage every year for several years.

Transformers originated from american executives grabing micro-change and Diaclone figures and merging them into a single toyline.
The guys at takara realized that that was a good idea and decided to cancel both lines in favor for japanese transformers.

Interesting thread. The 1950's seems a little early for these. But, if you are correct, they were still selling strong in the 70's.

These were my little buddies every Halloween. They also hilariously fit over the heads of my He-Man figures as well.
