They were like Twisty Petz, but predated them by a year or so. Instead of pastel animals, they were brightly colored bipeds. You strung them together with thick (2mm?) black rubbery cord, and could use them as bag ornaments until they inevitably self destructed. I had a gold soccer girl with bright orange hair, and they also made a black and gold Egyptian cat person. I'd really like to find some again, but I need to know their name because searching for "bead people" yields infinite results.
I always found them in the Target craft aisle. They were packed in little cartons about half the size of a juice box.
