Description
|
These toys are referred to as both Twistables and Twistoys, depending on which packaging was used. Twistables are basically rubber wire-frame figures which can be bent into different poses. The clothing is made of some sort of synthetic fabric.
|
| Variations |
So far, there are three different packagings I know of. The first version is a box. The second and third versions are bag styles. The version shown above actually says the name of the character on the packaging. Compare this to the second bag design, which merely states that it is a "Twistoy" and does not specify the character inside. (Possibly a later run to reduce printing costs?)

Comments
|
Specimens are commonly seen with holes chewed through the clothing and Brer Fox's cloth tail missing. It's a rare treat to find one still in its original packaging.
