I think they where called nerfuls. They at least match the above description. There is a page on this site for them if you want to look. It's under n fof nerfuls of corse. There's also an old tv add on YouTube the toy the header is Nerfuls 1986 commcial.

my cousin and i were just reminiscing about these over the weekend! we thought they were just called "nerfs." he had the stackable houses, one was a jail, the other just a home. they had trap doors in the bottom of each home too. definitely had the green slides. he had one ball that was blue and that was a dog and there was long shaggy blue ears/hair that went on top of the ball. he had a green chair for them to sit in without the bottom part of the bodies. also had the robber ball with the black eye mask across the face. we were cracking up, thinking of the hours we played with this fun toy!

My husband had the caterpillar that has socks and shoe's on the caterpillar is lime green and the socks are like rainbow stripes Trying to remember the name of it so we can buy one for our little boy

I saw a commercial for something completely unrelated but it reminded me of a toy from the 80's, it was underwater sand that you could make castles out of and it was very colourful. It was one of those toys that I always wanted but never had.

Shelly, are you thinking of Squand?

It was a two seater space fighter with a two seater tank like vehicle. And came with two 3 1/2 inch action figures both dressed in a silver junpsuit with helmets.I remember seeing them at Kmart as a kid and receiving it as a gift sometime in the mid 80's.Silver with stickers that said "Lazer Force" or Laser Force.Still not sure of the company that makes them or the toy line. I alrready tried other net search engines but nothing that ,atched the descriptions. Please advise.

Yeah, they are definitely Nerfuls. I still have a few MIB. I use to love those silly things. Couldn’t do much with them, but they were very colorful.

They look very similar to Swinkies. I just bought my daughter some with a coin machine type house.

I have all these in a shoe box. My sister and I used to put these in our nerf cannons, awesomeness ensued.
