What's the name of those alphabet toys from the 80's?

Question

Way back in preschool, my teacher had this set of inflatable alphabets toys, with each character looking like something the

letters start off with, like e's for exercise lifting a barbell, g's for gum and it's made like gum and z's for zippers and he's covered with zippers. I have my guesses but I can't remember for anything! Does ANYBODY knows what I'm referring to?!

Answer 1

Was it the "letter people" ?  Or the 'alphabet people?'  I remember them in kindergarten.  Hope this jogs your memory!

Answer 2

You're probably remembering the "Letter People." It's a bit different now then when we were kids. At the last preschool I was teaching at they had these letter people. They were basically an inflatable oval shape... but their decorations depended on the letter. Mr B had buttons all over, Ms S had a cape and "super socks", Ms P had patches, etc. They even have a CD of songs for each letter person... some are ok... others are quite corney.
