I believe his name is Mungo.... he was a promotional toy in a KFC kid's meal, and that's where I remember the name.

Thanks again, Drtooth.I now have worked out who is who with 6 out of the 7 names, so that leaves Monstradamus as the orange monster with horns and moustache.

Whoah...I can't believe someone made a post about this! I have very fond memories of this Fraggle Rock like Muppety franchise. I SO always wanted a Splurge plush from this line. I have the popup book, which is one of my favorite Muppet things ever.

I had read there was a pilot for a cartoon of SSM made. I also see Muppet Central has this listed:
"
KFC Scary Scary Monsters (2000)

Set of five: Monster Shoelace Munchers, Super Stretch Norbert, ZuZu Zoomer, Flip-A-Mungo, and Scary Scary Stick-Ons. "
(wish there were pictures of this)

All and all this would have been a great new Muppet franchise had it been fully developed.
