• Keep as it appears to have been a popular series in the 1980s, as suggested by this, this, this, etc., and there is therefore likely to be significant coverage in pre-internet sources. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:47, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There is quite a bit of stuff around- I've just been running a search and found a few articles, unfortunately paywalled, but I'm tracking down non paywalled stuff. (the figures did a "tour" of art galleries in 1996), and there are a few snippets in books [1]. Curdle (talk) 10:12, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment Here are three news articles from Trove- there are more.[2] [3][4] Curdle (talk) 10:34, 1 October 2020 (UTC).[reply]
• Keep: I added a 1989 article from The Age, "'Rubbery Figures' aim at rebound after axe". — Toughpigs (talk) 15:24, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I've added some of the sources mentioned, others are just passing mentions so of little use, but it's probably enough to satisfy WP:GNG now thanks. Theroadislong (talk) 15:28, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
