Description
They were little immobile pieces of rubber that looked like monsters, but were supposed to be germs. Each one came with a test-tube and a description of a fake disease that the germ caused. They were made in 1988.

Those were really cool toys. I still remember seeing those in the late 80s with so many other toys at Lionel Playworld. That store was so much better than Toys R Us, with older toys and a better selection. What I wouldn't give to go back to that store of old...
Wahahahahahah! These were cool! I had the dark blue one with a puckered mouth and eyes on stalks. I would fill the test tube with water mixed with red food coloring and scare my little bro that I was gonna throw the germ on him. He caught on pretty fast though. hehe
The blue one you mentioned with the puckered mouth was the Bellybutton Lint Germ.
These were awesome, I just found one looking through old stuff at my parents. Makes me miss those days, especially during this time of year (around Christmas & everything).
These are the best. I remember i could only get them at K-Mart. K-Mart rules!
Dad bought me a few of them for my birthday one year. I tried to eat them and they tasted rather awful.
I need to relive my youth! I need to find some of these toys! Mine from my childhood vanished into thin air.
Sweet, I just bought 11 of them on Ebay..I have been looking forever! I had five of them and have no clue what happened to them.
I've been trying to figure these out for years. The only one I had ever seen was one my cousin had gotten when I was little and everyone I ever ask has no clue what I'm talking about. I've been trying to find where I can still buy them and this site is the only mention I've ever seen of them!
Apparently they are very hard to find..Does anyone know how many there were originally?
I just put three of these on ebay in a bulk lot. Just search for Germs toys 1980s
these things had a great plasticy smell that i can still remember to this day. i liked making sounds with the test tube they came in too.
I had the whole set but I lost them over the years and now I am looking to buy them for my 6 yr olds birthday.
I think there were 12...I just saw a complete set still on the blister cards for $299
My parents used to buy these for my little brother, he was in and out of the hospital when he was a toddler. I remember one was called "Hacka Hacka Sillyacka" for a cold virus. My brother cherished these little toys...
I have the whole set in the test tubes with the lab reports, and then 2 more still on card. Really cool little rubber guys.
I loved these! me and my youngest brother had all tweleve of them . Our oldest brother made a wooden carry case for them . we used to take turns letting them out and pretending we had the sickness of which ever one we touched! I don't remember ever laughing so muc in my life!
