John Chandler presents The Skrumps is the series of vinyl action figures and storybooks created by John Chandler and distributed by Splashdown Toys. Each set includes one figure, an illustrated book featuring a day in the life of the Skrump, and a clear figure stand. The body of each toy is made of hollow vinyl, while the legs and arms are PVC. Originally launched in 2004 by Chandler, the rights to the characters were later acquired by The Jim Henson Company to develop the HDPS series The Skrumps. When adapting the world of the Skrumps from a series of toys to an animated series, several new characters were created - notably female Skrumps, such as Raisins. While Skrumpy is currently the only existing character from the toy series to appear in the Henson series, the design of Wishbone is somewhat similar to the The Mooch.
The set of six figures was billed as "series 1"; no subsequent series were never produced.
