Guys, I really need some help for some nostalgic value. I recently remembered a toy that I used to play with, and seemed relatively popular between my friends.
I can't even think of a time span it existed. Maybe around '96. All I remember was that it was a series of monster trucks, but they were literally like monsters. Like one had spikes on the wheels, and things like that.
I know, it's vague, but I'm not sure if many other products come close to that description.

Which is why I Love the 00's made no sense.
But I'm glad to know that I'm not crazy and people enjoyed them too! If we ever get the name, I'm sure all of us on TalkBass will attack eBay and buy up every one that gets listed, thusly skyrocketing the price like vintage Fenders. Let's make it happen!

But they aren't what I'm thinking of! Agh!!!

One looked like a tiger or cheetah and I think the other was green and blue (maybe snake-like??). |
