Title: [ID: Blinkins] Similar to Blinkies?
Post by: ecpblue on Tuesday 23 August 2011, 08:19 am

So this is going to sound strange but when I was looking at the link on this page to the blinkins it kind of sparked a memory of some sort.  I used to have toys similar to these that had light up stomachs when you squeezed them but they didn't look like these- maybe fakies?  I know that is not much it is just kind of a portion of a memory that I can half see in my head lol.  So I guess my question is just are there other toys from around the same time or earlier similar to blinkies?  Thanks!!!

You mean the Glow-Worms? Or the Glow-Bugs?

No, it was the same concept as blinkies but they looked different.....they were similar but slightly different figures maybe knockoffs?

alright so my problem was they are not blinkies but blinkins and that was what I was looking for, but for some reason the 1 I had in my head looked very different then the ones I was seeing until today when I saw it on ebay!!  So I guess I was just kidding about this post, I was really confused :-)
