Hey guys,
I was hoping that someone here might be able to help identify an action figure for me.
I don't know who made it or what year it was made, but I do have a recollection of its features.
Here's what I know:
It was roughly six to seven inches tall, with several points of articulation (neck, shoulders, waist, knees, etc). It was made in the early to mid 1990's, so let's say 1993 to 1995 to narrow the field. It had a bright orange color and a shape like Goro (of Mortal Kombat fame) with four or six arms. It had a smiling head sculpt with a blue or black mowhawk (not sure). One of its fists would disengage as an action feature and was attached to a white string of moderate length. It might have been barefoot, and I seem to remember blue markings (or armor) on its legs. It had white tape covering the wrists and wrapping across the palms of its hands. It had three or four fingers on each hand, possibly with the thumbs exposed.
Most important of all, it came with a blue ooze capsule that was removable from its stomach, a la Krang.
Much love and appreciation goes out to anyone who can help lead me in the right direction so that I may one day track this figure down and add it to my collection again.
Thanks,
Alex

No photo?
Maybe it was a Ben 10 figure? Captain Planet bad guy? Power Rangers monster?

I'm not easily stump-able, but this one definitely has me. I tried Pirates of Dark Water, Conan animated series, Skeleton Warriors, New Adventures of He-Man....I got nothin'. Doesn't sound like a Kintaro figure....I really have no idea.

Any copywriting on it. Usually besides a date it lists a company name which could probably help narrow it down.

See, that's the thing. I don't have the figure any longer and I'm going completely off of memory.
For years I thought it was from The Tick or made by Bandai, but I really have no idea either.
The best way I could describe it is that it looks like a goofy six-inch Goro figure with bright orange skin and a Krang-like removable blue container from its midsection.

I loved this line of figures because it was like two toys in one. I got a new action figure that generally worked with Ninja Turtles/Hasbros AND a new mold for my Creepy Crawler oven. and I loved my Creepy Crawler oven.. probably my favorite non-wrestling toy ever. I loved it long past the point that Creepy Crawlers were topical and the goop refills became near impossible to find.. When we moved in 1999, after not being able to find the goop for north of a year and all my goop LONG gone.. I reluctantly and with much protest got rid of my oven.. Still not happy about it to this day.

Man, I can't even begin to tell you how much this means to me. Thank you so much. Just to see that figure again and know that it exists almost exactly as I remembered it is a feeling unlike any other. Seriously, I would have never guessed Creepy Crawlers (which I absolutely loved as a kid, go figure).
