There was this toy I had growing up that I believe was like a snail warrior guy and he had this rubber shell you could attach to his back so you could bounce him off the floor against another bouncy snail warrior guy or you could invert the shell attach it the guy and place him on the floor and he'd bounce up on his own. Does anyone know what this toy was called? This was like a mid 90's toy.

I'm not sure if you found an answer for this question yet, but I too spent a long time trying to remember the name of these toys. The answer is SNAILIENS and more info can be found here.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I really appreciate you answering my question, it was driving me crazy, how unfortuante that they are so hard to find now. I would love to get my hands on a snailien again

I have a bunch of these figures not in the package and some parts are missing. If people post their e-mail address I can e-mail pics of what I have.

I've been looking for these things too man!thank god someone answered it
