Exploring the Creepy Charm of Boglins: A Detailed Look at the Iconic Toy Line

Boglins, those delightful creatures that once lurked in the hands of kids during the late 1980s and early 1990s, have left an indelible mark on toy enthusiasts and collectors alike. Created by Tim Clarke and Maureen Trotto, Boglins are a fascinating blend of puppetry and action figures that captured the imaginations of a generation. Let’s delve into the history, design, and legacy of these unique…

High On Life Theory dump:

Theory A, why some aliens have human names and others kind of don’t: the translator nanites are translating all the alien names to “English” approximations because it’s what the character can make sense of. So, for example, his name isn't actually "Gus" but means something along the lines of what "Gus" means as a name on Earth.(”Exalted,” “Majestic,” or less possibly, “Of Augustus.”) The ones that don’t get this treatment, say, Garmantuous or Krubis, are because there isn’t a translation close enough to it for the nanites to infer anything from so they just let it be. Theory B, Knifey’s true species: I think he's "Gatlian" in that his species comes from Gatlus. I have a theory that most Gatlians ambulate kinda like worms or in the case of Gus's species, octopi, but if you were to pull the leather off of Knifey's "Handle," he would probably have spider-like legs and crawl around on them. The blade is actually an augmentation, or perhaps just a sharpened and shaped horn. Knifey’s species probably evolved on an island somewhere on Gatlus separated from other areas which allowed for some unique differences compared to other parts of the planet, a phenomenon observable on Earth. Look up Owl Parrots for an IRL example. Theory C, Gatlian anatomy: Gatlians can shoot stuff out of their butts as an evolutionary overhang for trying to escape predators. Knifey’s people can do what they do because climbing cliffs all about them on a particularly metallic island area of the world was just the easier way away from predators. Theory D, There are many “Gatlian” species: Jist look at all the anatomical differences between Gus, Creature, Kenny and Sweezy, and realize that alone is all the argumentation I need. They’re all still collectively referred to as Gatlians to save time tho.

Theory E, the last one, is a behind the scenes one: I know part of Gus’s references for his design included a muppet/yipyip looking thing but I think all of them are actually based loosely on Boglins as a general rule, Boglins being a product Roiland at least is demonstrably familiar with given the fact that Rick from Rick and Morty owns one.

I will now include some pictures of IRL boglins for demonstration.

There isn’t really a po9int to this post, I just needed to scream these into the digital void.

Super7 has released a Halloween-inspired version of its My Pet Monster ReAction Figure. Priced at $25, the 3.75" retro-style toy is packaged on a die-cut backer card.

A fan made Boglin I created and then accidentally ruined in the molding process.

He's fixable, but ill never forgive myself for my approach. Poor little guy never even had a chance.

So, the boglings might not be native to Bogano. That actually kinda makes sense. Well, cute they kinda seemed completely different from the rest of the creatures on-world. And not just because they didn't try to eat you

evidently my Boglin was purchased at “LIONEL” Toys. still has the tag!
