So for reasons that I won't get into, I'm looking to replace a puppet that was around when I was younger. I thought I knew what it was called, but searches for that name have turned up nothing. I happened to come across an old old video tape with one in it (1987) so thought I'd take some screen grabs and see if anyone can help me out.

WTF was the name of these puppets? (there were a variety of different colored ones)

It reminds me of the female gremlin from Gremlins 2.

I love watching the "alcimedes/Argento" show ... sort of like a benign Dr Lecter taunting the earnest Clarice Starling.

i don't think our evil grin does this justice. but a name would be nice. it's not a seasme street character (that i know of) and it's not a fraggle.

IIRC, there was also a red one, blue one and yellow one. they looked approx. the same and all were puppets.

anyone else? custom title of your choice if you have under 1,000 posts. if you have over a 1,000 there's nothing I can do to help you anyway.

Oh, it wasn't mine. It's for another individual. You may be able to guess who it used to belong to.

I think you mean Furbie/Furby

Also I must take more care when googling. I just got a close-up of furry ball sacks.

If anyone wants the link.....

You can always try finding it here. At least scroll through the names and see if anything sounds familiar...

I was on vacation, here I am enjoying a nice stroll outside my moon house....



Some would say that the earth is our moon, but that would belittle the name of our moon, which is the moon.

No, it was something like "Ferbile" or something to that extent. And yes, there was a green, blue, yellow, red, and white one. And if I recall correctly, their eyes glowed...and didn't withstand being smashed against a table very well.

FYI argento and I are cousins. However, since we grew up next door to each other, we're more like brothers.

It's possible he might have bene subjected to some slight torture as a younger kid at my hands. Possibly.

I think that he should change his screen name to argentomedes, just so we can keep track. Or maybe you should change to alcimendento. Yeah, that would be cool.
