need help identifying

flangel · 04-25-2012, 08:57 PM

We were cleaning out a garage and came across 2 Karate figures they seem to be made of rubber in a squatting position on the back of them it says "Lanard toys LTD" with the date of 1986 or could be 1988 its small and hard to see. They have a large hole in the back side of the figure one is black with brown hair wearing a red belt and holding nunchucks and the other is white with white hood and mask wearing a black belt holding a spiked ball. I would appreciate the help i googled them and could not find any pictures or anything on them. Thank you for any help.

Lanard Toys is mostly known for their knock-off-ish GI Joe styled (both 3.75" and 12") figures. I'm guessing, based on your description, that these are off shoots of those lines. Probably something that came from a dollar or bargain store in the 80's. If you could post a photo, that would help me get more info.

I had a few WWF wrestling figures that were made exactly like that. Probably by the same company. They were finger puppets you could make wrestle each other.

Ok, these, like Saint Phe said, are finger puppet type figures. These were sold at dollar and discount stores in the 80's. They came in 2-packs. these particular ones were supposed to be even cheaper versions of their GI Joe knock off characters. I believe these were sold under their "Gung Ho" line prior to them doing "The Corps" figures.

are they really worth anything or nothing special about them? i have a 3 year old and she would prolly have a blast playing with them just don't want them torn up so to say if they may have value I appreciate the help

Sorry, not worth anything. These are the type of thing you throw in the 25 cent bin at a yard sale.
