I have to say that I had a lot of those rubber bugs, at one point a local bakery had them on the counter with a bag of Jimmies in their abdomens. I’ve also wanted that Lizard man creature for a long time. He reminds me of “It! The Terror from Beyond Space.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not sure “Crying” is the word they should have used here but I see how they got there. I had tons of those Dinosaurs and I imagine DorMei made them by the millions. They would also go on to produce a truly memorable Godzilla Knock Off in 1984, see below:<\/strong><\/p>\n
