Trying to find a childhood toy

~~Amaranthus~~ · 01-04-2015, 08:07 AM

I was wondering if you guys could help me.
I used to have this awesome brown cat-like cyborg toy as a kid.
It had one black eyepiece with a green eye and if I recall correctly it was a lot like a Bionicle.
I'm desperate to find it. Help is appreciated.

Oh, I posted in the wrong subforum.
Someone please lock this.

Yo I know what it's like to be unable to track something like that down, so I'm gonna try to help a little even though this isn't really my area of expertise.

You say it's a lot like a Bionicle -- are you sure it isn't one? If your age on your profile is accurate, then year-wise, it's unlikely to have been something that came out before 1998 [assuming the toy wasn't hand-me-downed]. Bionicle slides into the time period that would define "childhood" for you pretty nicely... This list might give you some other possibilities. The character you describe really sounds like a Bionicle, though, from the perspective of somebody that's never owned one.

If it was a toy from a popular series, this list [anime] and this list [western animation] might be of help in narrowing down characters.

And if you can think of a character it looks sorta like, that can be useful, too.

Pretty sure it wasn't.
Here's a poor attempt at drawing it.
Only thing I remember well is the head.
Fur was green, eyepiece was black, and the eye on the eyepiece was green, I think. The head was a little longer I think. But I'm terrible at drawing so this'll have to do.

Yeah, on second thought, doesn't look all that much like one now. Kinda reminds me of Foxy from Five Nights at Freddy's.

Was it bipedal?

Nope.
Four legs.

Might be something from Galidor, or Knights Kingdom.

I remember Knights Kingdom. But it's from neither of those.

Think it might be a Beast Wars Transformer?

Looks kinda similar. [Obviously it's not this particular one, but.]
