This vinyl toy is copyright 1987 Dakin Inc. Made in CHINA It is obviously Garbage Pail Kid style, but, I have found no history of Dakin Inc. licensing GPK or producing anything GPK. Anyone have any info on this strange piece? It also gitd (glows in the dark). I took photos under a black light because in pitch black the glow wasn't strong enough to show up on my camera. Thanks in advance, TGB
^^^ I'm with you! That toy is so plumpie and whimsical and GID! Where did you stumble upon this treasure? So cute!
It measures approximately 4.5" W x 4.5" D x 2.5" H It has a molded cross split on the bottom to insert mini figures! I got him nearly 10 years ago off an Ebay Canadian auction. I paid approximately $50 for him. Thanks, TGB
Just a thought... the only things I've seen w/ a cross split like that on 'em were doorknob covers. Will it fit on a doorknob? If so, that could really liven up yer living space!
You are right about the door knob cover w/ the split!!! It fits perfect! I NEVER even thought about that! Still a KILLER vinyl toy too! Thanks, Marty
I still can't find any more info regarding this vinyl anywhere on the net. I even tried to check the USA copyright site to look up Dakin 1987 and descriptive words like spider, door knob cover, etc... Anyone have any other ideas to accurately identify this vinyl?
"Make an offer" sales are seriously frowned upon around here. If it's for sale, you really should post a new thread in the 'Buy/Sell/Trade' forum with a price. I'm sorry that I don't have anything to add as to what the origin of your toy is. My first thought after seeing the photos was that it was a doorknob cover, too. Good luck.
Sorry, I didn't really intend for this to turn into a for sale thread. Once I had a couple of collectors pm me and ask me if I wanted to sell it, I just thought...what the heck, make me an offer. (I hadn't read the rules...I have edited my posts in this thread to comply w/ the rules.) This thread was really intended solely as a help identifying thread and I would still appreciate any more info anyone can find regarding this. I am getting exhausted searching the net for info. Thanks for the heads up on the offer rule, I appreciate it. TGB
I'm glad that it's not just me! Gutterutter, are you seeing the pix, or are you astral projecting into the God Beast's house?
Hahaaha, that's strange. I was wondering the same thing. Heck, I even tried some searching, to no avail. Maybe you have to have (and be logged into) a photobucket account?
