I never heard about this. Apparently Gygax was inspired by a bunch of plastic toys for some of his first monsters.
A plastic toy inspired the owlbear?
I was just thinking about this while watching Terra Nova on Netflix because I remembered hearing they made D&D monsters inspired by the plastic dinosaurs and such they had around at the time.

There was a recent blog post by someone that showed all of then still in their bag, but I can't refind that blog post.

I own a old rust monster and a tiny bullete from those bags, but I've never seen the owlbear inspiration until now.

Poke around for the COL_Pladoh (EGG himself) Q&A threads archived here at EN World. IIRC he discusses this very topic.

I had some of these as a child - I know I had the Rust Monster and the Bullette.

The only one I can remember is the rust monster. I even remember playing with it. Odd in that I don't have a lot of memories from that time. I wonder why that one ugly toy stood out.

I wonder if the original figure is supposed to be a kappa...
