Unknown California Raisins Figures

Posted in Figure Realm Comments and Questions

Just a few days ago, I came across a kind of California Raisins figure that I had never seen before. I came here to the checklist, and the figures I found aren't listed anywhere on the site. The figures are 5 or 6 inches tall and kind of flat. Their arms and legs are bendable. On the bottom of the feet, it says Calrab 1987 Applause.

Looking the figures up, I can find people selling them (I've bought a set) but can't find where they come from and where they were sold. As I said, they're not listed on the California Raisins checklist. one figure is the singing raisin holding a microphone. the second figure is the standard figure with orange sunglasses. and the third figure is a happy looking raisin wearing blue tennis shoes. I think there are only 3 figures to the set as that's all I can find.

The closest figures I could find on the checklist are the plush figures that have bendable arms and legs.

Any ideas ?

This is awesome. I just found a bunch of California Raisins figures that aren't listed here on the checklist. It's a set of four figures with graduation caps. Now, I know that on the checklist, there are graduation figures, but those figures have big yellow bases with sayings on them. Also, the set of figures I found have the tassels on the caps are on the opposite side of the graduation cap.

I bought them but haven't got them yet. At first, I thought that maybe they were from the line of keychains, but there doesn't seem to be any spots for the little hook to screw into the figure.

Any ideas ?
