Thingz That Go Bump in the Night is a mini figure toy line that was released in the UK in the late 90s (1997) by a company called FEVA. Most of the ‘thingz’ were household items that were morphed into creatures (basically a kid’s imagination of what they would look like as a monster). The concept was pretty cool, but unfortunately, there weren’t any more of the figures!
There were 28 different figures accompanied by their FACT cards, as well as some accessories including a collectors playset, booklets and other cool pieces that we will go into below.
I’ve put together this page, which I will continue to add to when I find new items. If you have anything you would like to add to the page, please let me know!
