Boglins
Boglins are rubber hand puppets with a mouth you work with your fingers and glow-in-the-dark eyes that roll about. Mattel put the first three out in 1987, and they ran on much longer in the UK. Anything called King, Dark Lord, Bat, Alien or Zombie is a 2020s TriAction reissue.

Halloween Boglins
A seasonal pair, Bag-O-Bones and Blobkin, made from two of the earlier moulds in spooky new paint. They are among the most wanted of the originals.
Blobkin
Large Boglins
The three that started it all in 1987: Dwork, Drool and Vlobb. In the UK Drool was sold as Flurp and Vlobb as Plunk, so do not panic if your box says something different.
nostalgic_collectorSmall Boglins
Six smaller puppets to go with the big three. They were renamed for the UK too: Squidge became Squit, Shlump became Boink, Shlurp became Splatt, Sponk became Blap, Squawk became Klang and Squeel became Doink.

Action Boglins
Five squeezy late arrivals from 1994. Give one a squeeze and it does something gross, and going by the names you can guess most of it: Spit spits and Likk sticks its tongue out.

Iball
Likk
Rasp
Spit
Boglins: Aliens
Three Boglins from somewhere a lot further away than the bog. Look at the names and you will spot Drool, Dwork and Vlobb hiding in Drizoul, Dwizork and Vizlobb.
Alien Drizoul
Alien Dwizork
Alien Vizlobb
Boglins: Dark Lords
The 1987 Halloween pair back from the dead as Dark Lord Blobkin and Dark Lord Bog-O-Bones, with a new face, Dark Lord Crazy Clown, along for the ride.

Boglins: Kings
The 2021 TriAction comeback. Dwork, Drool and Vlobb returned as Kings, joined by King Wort, King Swogg, King Topor and King Sponk to make seven, and the first three also came as Gold Horned and Red Eyed versions.

Bat Boglins
The bats finally turned up in 2022, more than 30 years after fans were first promised them. Drak, Vlad and Orlock were the first Boglins ever made with wings.

Baby Boglins
Rubber finger puppets that came hatched out of plastic eggs. The first six reuse the UK names of the small Boglins, and six new babies, from Cratch to Suk, followed them.

Bash'em Boglins
Only two made our list, Splat and Skwish. The name tells you exactly how they were meant to be played with.
Skwish
Splat
Batwing Boglins
Mattel's winged Boglins. Bat Boglins were promised back in the late 80s but never properly reached the shops, so treat any Drak, Ooky or Screech you find as a real rarity and check it carefully.

Screech
Glow Boglins
The small Boglins again, this time in glow-in-the-dark rubber and sold under their UK names. Our list has Klang, Doink and Squit.

Soggy Boglins
The swamp water lot: Snish, Slogg and Slobster, which give you a fish, a frog and a lobster gone badly wrong.

Snish
Talking Boglins
Just two of these, Glint and Kwirk, and they were the ones that talked back.
Glint
Kwirk
Zombie Boglins
Six undead TriAction puppets. The names are zombified Kings, so Zwork is Dwork, Zlobb is Vlobb and Zopor is Topor, all looking a bit worse for wear.

Zombie Boglin Zonk
Zombie Boglin Zopor
