It’s October, and that means it’s “ShockTober” at Plaid Stallions. We’ll be posting Halloween and monster-related items all month, including toys, rare advertisements, videos, and, of course, two horror-themed episodes of Pod Stallions. To kick things off, I present my latest pick, the King Kong Jiggler by Ben Cooper. I don’t know what it […]
I was jazzed to find this wonderful trade advert for the Ben Cooper Superhero Jigglers (their word was Wiggly but . Ben Cooper made these floppy figures for the better part of a decade and then they were bootlegged for another 10-15 years! It was a good way to keep Ben Cooper products on […]

In 1979 Ben Cooper released a wave of jigglers that comprised of The Thing, Red Skull, Spider-Man and Dr. Strange. They also did corresponding Halloween costumes that year. They were misleading advertised as ersatz action figures in a Heroes World ad, so I really wanted to track them down as an adult. Dr Strange never […]
New to the AHI Monster Gallery is this awesome display box of Super Monster Jigglers. I’m not very observant because someone smarter than me had to point out that there are two sizes of Monster Jigglers, the larger ones that came in this box that have tags and the slightly shorter ones that came on […]
