I just found this article (http://io9.com/the-surprising-inspiration-for-dungeons-dragons-weir-1488869413?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_facebook&utm_source=io9_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow), which explains a lot. I've done the same thing, although I never published my inventions.

That's excellent, and explains a lot - I knew I'd seen the plastic rust monster toy in pictures before, and always wondered about it, because I didn't think anyone had or would have ever made D&D toys of that type.

What I learned only a few days ago is that the bullette also shares this origin.

"Or when a Wizard gets very bored..."

I didn't know this either. Great little piece of information and now suddenly it all makes sense!
