Mini Boglins

Mini Boglins were produced by Ideal from 1991-94, and sold in assorted packs of 5, 10 and 20 in UK and Italy. Each character also had it's own game card for battle play.

The were sold in various ways, including boxes of multiples, blisterpacks and individual "blind" packages.

The original tribes came in six colours (blue, brown, gray, light orange, green and yellow). Sometimes the Chiefs were silver, which was rarer. Some figures also came in black (known as "Pathfinders"). New colours were added in 1992 and 1994 (including red, dark orange, purple, gold, and neon). Each character came in several colours, some Scouts were even glow-in-the-dark.

Part of the figures had secret label called "Secret Battle Codes" that become visible when the Boglins were heated. The labels then become invisible again when cool. The codes were used in battle play, as described in the "The Secret Code Booklet" that came with the figures.

Mini Boglins :: 1991

There were 6 tribes released in 1991:

• The Clumsies
• The Freaks
• The Greedies
• The Jokers
• The Rude Dudes
• The Tough Guys

Each original tribe release included six figures (1 chief and 5 ordinarymembers). Scouts were then added to the tribes in 1992 (including glow-in-the-dark versions) and Messengers in 1994. Some characters were also "retired" and replaced with new ones.

Other Mini Boglins

There were a couple of other sets released too.

The Rare Dudes - Series 1

"They are a motley assortment who are very difficult to find. Chief Drox and Scout Droup are even rarer as they are not engraved."

All these hard to find figures came from previously released tribes.

• Scout Droup - The Disgustings
• Spy Glup - The Greedies
• Messenger Stick - The Rude Dudes
• Drak - The Disgustings
• Gulp - The Greedies
• Tang - The Clumsies
• Tell - The Clumsies

The Cool Dudes

Eight Cool Dudes were available exclusively with Kellogg's Frosties cereal in UK, and were smaller than the other Mini Boglins. The figures were available in six neon colours (yellow, blue, pink, green, orange and red). Cool, Chill and Chump were also released in gold as a limited edition of 10,000 figures (so not that "limited!).

Mini Boglins in Slime

There were four Mini Boglins in Slime produced in 1994. They were about the same size as the other Mini Boglins, and came inside a little toilet filled with slime. The toilet and four new mini Boglines were also available with a boardgame (see below).

I'm not sure where the Slime Skull fits into the sereis, but it was advertised with the Slime Toilet on back packaging.

Mini Boglins Game

The Slime Toilet Game consisted of the four new mini Boglins and slime filled toilet (all as above), plus the board and game cards.

Mini Boglins Accessories

The Swamp Carry Case could store up to 12 mini Boglins and came with a tree and bridge (flocked plastic shapes). It also came with a free Mini Boglins Chief.

Mini Boglins Caged

Back packaging offered a Mini Boglins Cage, which could hold up to 12 characters (it was also sold with 12 Mini Boglins included). The cage appears to be the same as used for the Action Boglins.
