This is so funny, but just yesterday I was searching on the internet for information about this strange Marvel Thing toy that has a rubbery top half and an inflation port in the back. I've owned it for years, since I was a kid, but don't know anything about it. Just yesterday I was searching for info and found none. And today, here I am at this blog, and the back of that Hulk toy is the same as the Thing toy I have. The mystery unravels. Ironically, I remember this Hulk toy, but didn't remember it clearly enough and had never seen the back of it.
I have both the Funstuf Frankenstein and Hulk. I got them in 1979, but without any box or accessories. They probably came from a flea market or yard sale. Frankenstein's upper body glows in the dark.
I actually worked for Funstuf during the late 70's when these figures were manufactured. The facility was in Maitland Fl, just north of Orlando. I was the supervisor for the second shift where we packaged the Hulks and Thing Aniforms. We also made a limited number of Draculas and Frankensteins, but they never went into full production. The majority of these figures went to Toys 'R' Us,
Due to recent events, I'm limiting comments to google account holders only. Sorry if you're a decent person affected by this but the spam has gotten weird.
