I picked up this Pac-Man squeak toy at a flea market years ago, but I admit I know next to nothing about him. He's date-stamped 1982 and the company that made him was Gabriel... but that's it. Were there others in this line? Maybe there was also a squeaky Ms. Pac Man chasing squeaky ghosts? Who knows?
But I do know that this guy is all kinds of cool for Pac fanatics like me. He has a distinctive Pac-Man sculpt, but just so you know for sure that this is official Pac product, there's the Pac-Man logo on the back. The bottom provides the location for Gabriel Ind. as Hagerstown Md. Check out the pics for more!
Pac-Man combines with Armodoc to create the ominous ARMOPAC!

It's made by a company called Gabriel, and the character on "Penny Arcade" who's obsessed with Pac-Man is named Gabriel. Isn't that weird?
That is weird, but I'm sure it's a coincidence. Although, who knows?
AGGGHHHH!!! I had one of these! I had forgotten about that toy completely until I saw this! Thanks ever so much for posting this!
I want one of this!!! where i can buy??
I'd say your best bet for buying one of these Pac-Man squeakers is eBay. But there might be some online store selling them too. You might want to do a Google search for "pac-man squeak" or "pac-man gabriel".
Anyway, i try to find it on Ebay or on google but i have found nothing...sing... :-(
I just bought one today at an antique store, I wonder if the number on the bottom indicates a limited edition toy? On your pictures it says 55, and on mine it is #67
I have no idea. That's really interesting, though! Thanks for sharing!
I have one that says 604. I found this because I wanted to learn more of it's squeakory.
I had one of these in the early 80s and it was one of my favorite toys, lost it long ago. Over the last couple years I have bought two off ebay. One appears to have a 2 on the bottom, the other is still in its packaging and has an 88. I'm not sure what numbers mean though. It does seem to be a very rare toy!
I too have one of these marvelous little toys! I have #33. Awesome. I've had it since 1982, got it in New Jersey.
