I had one of these!! I forgot what they were called. I was deep into monsters when I was about 7 or 8. I remember going to ToysRUs right after seeing the commercial.

These were amazing. It was all about ToysRUs for these bad boys. The tail kept falling off mine back in the day, but didn't tarnish their brilliance

I never had one but I remember people who did. They were so disgusting but very amusing.

I remember having two of these. A big blue one, which the eyes moved left and right that glowed in the dark. and a smaller one which was green with one eye. Ahh those were the days.

Oh my goodness, my brother and I each got one for Easter--he had a purple one and I had a green one, they had gooey little teeth and everything! I'll never forget that rubber smell, we made them spit jellybeans at each other!

finally I found information on this toy! I loved this toy and I kept thinking it was called a "boggle". These toys were awesome!

I too have always thought these were called boggles. I've been searching google endlessly for years, and thanks to this site I found the real name. Thank you!

I remember playing with these guys in the toy aisle! I always wanted one but my mom thought they were ugly! I love how the box has the bars on it!

Loved em'! my first was a small purple one. I had a wierd experience with him. It was late at night and I was sitting up watching movies. I went to the bathroom and I heard my radio come on. when I went back the Boglin was sitting on top of the radio. He was nowhere near it when I left. Strange. I acquired a bigger one in Indiana, which seemed to be the place I acquired a lot of my most coveted toys. I carried him everywhere. to the swimming pool, to church, to a family reunion ( he was a real hit there ). I have one now still in the box, same kind as I had back then.
