Abominable Snowman (action figures)

The Abominable Snowman is a classic fictional creature appearing in fantasy literature and films of all sorts. He has appeared in everything from Marvel Comics to television's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to the Pixar film Monsters Inc. Action figures of this mythical character are not uncommon...

Super Powers Collection/Super Heroes Collection

In ~1986, an Abominable Snowman action figure was produced by Gulliver Juguetes, a Latin-American toy company located in Brazil for their Super Heroes Collection, part of their Super Powers Collection line, but without direct ties to any DC Comics character. His Spanish name was 'Hombre de las Nieves'. He was the enemy of their Captain Ray/El Capitan Rayo (Captain Lighning) character. The figure was available in Colombia. As a collectible, the character has the distinction of being the rarest of the Super Powers/Super Amigos/Super Heroes Collection branded figures. The toy is believed to be a recast of a Marvel Comics action figure (Mego Pocket Hero Hulk), in an otherwise DC Comics line of figures. The cardback shows a mix of DC and Marvel characters.

Monsters Inc

In 2001, the Pixar film Monsters Inc featured an Abominable Snowman character voiced by John Ratzenberger. This resulted in an action figure by Hasbro. Perhaps not ironically, the Monsters Inc character, itself, resulted in a derivative toy – a toy car in the Cars line called Yeti, the Abominable Snowplow.
