Alien Magic 'Fizz & Find' figures

WHAT:  Here's a great toy line from a few years back that I wasn't familiar with until very recently when TwoHeadedBoy was kind enough to send me some. I loved them as soon as I saw them. I'm not sure whether or not they were available in the U.S., but I don't recall ever seeing them in stores here.

What line produced the bizarro creatures you see above? Alien Magic!

Alien Magic toys were released by Moose as one of their "Fizz and Find" properties, which included eggs you'd dissolve in water to reveal little plastic toy parts you could then put together to form mini figures. Other Fizz and Find lines included Dino Magic and Dragon Magic.

The concept sort of reminds me of Galoob's old Trash Bag Bunch line of the early 1990s, in that you'd have to drop an outer container in water and watch it fade away in order to find out which figure you got. You always wound up getting a lot of doubles, but at least it was a bit more exciting than just opening up a typical package.

I had seen people talk about Dino Magic figures online, but the line never really appealed to me enough to get me to investigate further. Alien Magic is a different story, though. I love how crazy-looking these things are! They are truly imaginative sculpts. And I like how they don't look goofy or cutesy, like so many monster and alien-themed toys these days do. They look creepy and psychotic, which is usually how I like 'em.

These guys are made of hard plastic and have painted details. Each figure comes in a couple different pieces that snap together, which allows for mixing and matching of different pieces on different characters. According to the packaging example pictured above, there were 18 different Alien Magic sculpts available, with three of them being "ultra rare" glow-in-the-dark aliens. Here's a closer look at the sculpts I have:

I think my favorites are the reddish-brown guy with the huge fangs and mouths on his arms, and the three-legged egg-like thing (seriously creepy).

A big thanks to TwoHeadedBoy for introducing me to these and hooking me up with some!
