This guy is just...odd. I bought him because he was not something I have ever seen before, but I can;t seem to get him identified.

Marked 1995 Mattel
Battery operated- spins like an unbalanced washing machine, causing him to "walk". May have had arms- there are holes where arms might have gone.

argh i can't find it or remember the name but i'm sure it's from a game- you have to make sure the washing doesn't fall out of it or something? good luck, i'll be stalking this thread

I don't remember the name either my cousin had this game. It came with foam clothes that you tried to throw in the washing machine. I think? The washing machine also had arms.

Saying it was a board game helped a lot.

Dizzy Dryer or Wacky Washer:

It seems to imply that the Mattel version was called Dizzy Dryer, so I'd go with Dizzy Dryer.

Wacky Washer was produced by Spears for the UK market, and Dizzy Dryer was produced by Mattel for the US marker (as far as I can tell). Wacky Washer had a plain blue drum back, whereas Dizzy Dryer had a blue and yellow drum back. Everything else looks to have been the same.
