Title: [ID: Mod Hogs - Irwin Toy] Obscure toy line 2 - "Mod Hogs"
Post by: Ned on Thursday 10 June 2010, 11:38 am
In 1988 or 1989, I saw another commercial for a toy line that I have not found hide nor hair of since I saw the commercial. It was called "Mod Hogs", and it was maybe 5 or 6 stuffed pigs in faddish clothes. Ring a bell, anyone?

They're not something I remember (I was a little too young at that point), but I did turn up this page that has some information: http://www.trademarkia.com/mod-hogs-73699574.html

Hope that's useful!

Thanks. I see this was another Irwin Toy line that apparently failed to catch on.

Reading the updates on your other post made me think of this one. And I found this (perhaps you already saw it, if you search regularly or have a "Saved Search" on eBay?):

Wow, you managed to find one of these! Surely not too many around so this is quite a find...I must say, how these pigs looked hasn't stuck in my head so well. I remember one had a mohawk and at least one had glasses like in the logo. Maybe one had a boom box accessory!?
