Thnx guys. It is surprising to hear that from you Chris (that is, due to your age I would expect you to know this). I didn't know what they were until my kids brought them home. Apparently it is a kids toy with non-articulated mini figures (little monsters). I don't know if my design actually resembles their appearance but i tried. You can also look it up on the net for more information. This is as far as I can go....hehe
