I had one of these as a kid back in the early '80s, I don't recall what it was called. I picked up a few at I think a Ripley's Believe It or Not museum a few years ago for the nephews. I had no idea they were still being made!

I remember these!
They were on TV ads in the 1970s + '80s. The ones I saw were sort of a magic trick: your Frizzlie, or whatever name it had, was attached to maybe, 2 ft. of fishing line. You then tied the other end of the line to your jeans, or a button on your shirt, or your belt, or etc..

Then you learned to wrap the Frizzlie around your arms + hands, so that the toy looked [alive, when you moved it around in your hands. A clever toy for the money, I guess.

I vividly remember a television commercial for Squirmles.

A few years ago we saw these in a gas station we stopped in while on vacation. My daughter bought one. I was so proud.
