In 1987 Mattel released Boglins, an outrageous group of creatures that let children pretend that the owned their own pet monster. Boglins were constructed of highly detailed rubber bodies with controllable facial features. With the right practice, the Boglin would seem to be alive and moving on the end of your hand. It was a great way for children to use their imagination with their new "pet" and resulted in hours of play. The series died in 1988, and soon the boglins were just another forgotten toy. The large ones were roughly six or seven inches in overall diameter and the medium ones roughly four inches in overall diameter.
