Hey Hey it's the Mumzeys!

I have been trying to find out more information on a favorite figure that I got as a kid. Oddly, don't remember how I got this guy but finally found some details on him and the rest of the set.

Grease Trap Gregory is part of a set called the Mumzeys from late 60s. The figures are about 6 inches tall and pretty oily.

Anyone have these guys in their collection?

I love the mumzeys! I never had them as a child but got my first one about 12 years ago (Gutter Gordon). In 2005 a bright red version of Gordon showed up on Ebay, in an auction that I lost. Also in that auction was an ant creature that was clearly from the same line of toys, but the ant man wasn't on the catalog photo which I have been familiar with for a while, which raised the question of a possible 2nd series. So then I finally got the winner of the 2005 auction to part with his red gutter gordon, but it took some money plus my orange gutter gordon to seal the deal. When this guy had both Gutter Gordons in his possession he took a photo of them together, along with the bottom of their feet, showing different copyright information, proving different toy lines. I have since found a 3rd second series Mumzey on Ebay which cost me $160. He is a larger version of a little jiggler with a cape that often comes up on ebay, and lacking a name I call him cape man. The trade mark on his foot is essentially the same as the red Gutter Gordon, proving that they come from the exact same toy line. So here are some links:

So anyways, there definitely appears to be a second series of Mumzeys, with Gutter Gordon being in both sets. If anyone has photos of any 6" orange or red soft rubber humanoid jigglers, please post them! They could be related to this toy line.

Byrd,

Do you have any luck finding out info on series two on the Mumzey line?

Thanks
