ACTION FIGURE - RUBBERIZED/CLAY - 1980's: I am trying to recall the name of a rubberized and/or clay (some sort of spongey, bendable substance) boys action figure from the early to mid 1980s. Along with the manufacturer's packaging, it came packaged inside of a dinosaur-looking egg that could fit inside an adult's entire hand, the figure all bent up inside of it. The figures, if I recall, were swamp-themed or something non-human. You could pull their limbs off and move them to other parts of their bodies. Not very many to choose from, maybe a total of 10 figures. I specifically remember my boy cousin and I playing with these, although he cannot remember. Thank you for your help!; Reply

Dollhouse - Better Homes and Gardens: I am wondering if anyone has any pictures and/or information about the Better Homes and Gardens dollhouse that was sold in the very late 1970's or early 1980's? I had one myself and was in about 6th grade. I remember the daughter of the family had short blonde hair with a pink shirt and blue jeans. The mom had very short brown hair and wore a skirt. There was also a dad and little brother. The living room was 2 story with beige carpet (I actually got my mom's vacuum and vacuumed it with the little attachment), then came the dining and kitchen on the bottom floors, with a stair at the far end leading upstairs. There was a kids' bedroom, then a bathroom (I think - or it could have been a nursery but pretty sure it was a bath) then the parents' room. I remember my parents got me the dollhouse and my other relatives bought all the different furniture to go with it. The dishwasher even opened and you had real looking dishes (plastic though) and silverware to put in it. Anyway, no pictures of it survived in the family photos and my younger sisters trashed it later on. Any help would be great. Thanks!; Reply

Game from Early 1970s Drop Opponent's Discs to Win: It was not a board game. It stood upright on a table. I believe it was blue, all plastic with plastic parts. It was for two players. It had a clear door on each side facing each player. Each player would open the little door on his side and hang these little colored discs (they were orange and pink) from these pegs. One couldn't see what the other was doing. I could pull on the little pegs on my side (they had a little spring action) and if a disc was hanging on that peg on your side, it would drop. I think that if I got all your discs to drop first, for example, I was the winner.

They were of a very sturdy plastic, and hollow inside. We used these blocks to build forts and all kinds of other things. If you could tell me the brand name, that would really help me to track some down today. Thank you very much!; Reply

Man-in-the-Moon-Faced Rubber Ball: I was born and spent my first 41/2 years in Chicago.

My most distinct memory is of being very disappointed upon losing one (I'm sure I lost many.) and badgering my mother to buy me another. I see an image of a display in a Woolworth's (or similar) with the balls unwrapped and available to be picked up and paid for. The ball was probably about the size of a tennis ball--small enough to be picked up in one hand and thrown by a 4-5 year old. Anyone have memories of this toy? I can find nothing about it.; Reply

Matchbox Build-a-truck and road system: Approximately 20 years ago I used to play with a Matchbox brand Build-a-truck (plastic chassis and parts that could be put together using a screwdriver 'drill' with a green bit (attach) and red bit (detach)) and also a Matchbox brand plastic road network with sections that connected with tongue and grooves, road signs, petrol stations, carparks etc. The Build-a-truck also came in Build-a-plane and, I think, Build-a-boat.

Monster Making Machine: I am trying to find the name of a great toy I had as a child, to give to my son. It is used for making hollow plaster of Paris molds Dracula, Frankenstein, werewolf etc. It was available sometime in the late 70's to early 80's, I thought it's name was something like "Monster Machine" or "Monster Factory" and I think it was made by Mattel but I cannot find any reference anywhere on the web. Essentially, it involved filling a clear hard-plastic mould with plaster of Paris, then placing the mould in a plastic frame (I think the color of the frame was green and/or purple). After it is locked in place, you turn the handle of the machine for several minutes to spin the frame around and make the plaster spread throughout the mould. After it sets, the it can then be painted. I am looking for the name of this product, and if possible, where to purchase it. Please help. Thank you, Kevin.; Reply

Motorized Toy: I had a toy during the mid to late 70's that consisted of a single wheeled motor that would drive around a gray plastic track and at different points along the track, automatically exchange various construction equipment themed bodies that would hold little black plastic balls. This motor would be activated to go forward or reverse by the track itself at different points, and had a little peg on the bottom to make it ride in a groove on the track. There was a loader body, a scooping body, a dump truck type body, and others. These would all rest on supports and sort of float until the motor came around and picked them up to perform the next task with the balls. I remember that one area had a zig-zag track where the balls would be dumped in and descend down to be scooped up in a different area. I loved this toy, but cannot remember what it was called.; Reply

old mohair mechanical pull toy.: hello, i have come across an old mechanical plush/mohair pull toy. I am trying to figure out the manufacturer and it's age. It is a white terrier dog with black ears. It is furry but not like modern day fur, but I know it's not real fur. It has a red tube attached at the back of his head at his collar, I will call it, the led. The led isn't that long and it ends this metal squeeze handle at the end. It appears that when you squeeze it a wire pulls through the red tube led, the dogs rear legs move forward, he opens his mouth that shows a tonge and a row of top teeth. (composite, or paper mache') when you stop squeezing the spring metal handle he resumes to a standing on all fours position. Oh, he lets out a squeak bark too. He has very small tin/metal wheels on the bottom of his four feet. He has glass eyes and a red plastic collar. Who do you think made him? How old do you think he is? thanks for yur help, Kim; Reply

Story Book Toy - Mickey Mouse and Friends: In the early 90's my cousin had this Mickey Mouse toy. It was a plastic case in the shape of a story book (and roughly the same size as an average one too), white in color and I believe there were yellow clasps. You would open it up and set up the components so that you could listen to stories. In the version my cousin had, it came with 2 stories. Each came with a cassette tape and and a little display roughly half the size (going hot dog style) of the story book. When you wanted to listen to a story you would open the display and set it in the story book and placed a small flash light (that came with the story book) in front of it. I believe there were also 2 yellow buttons that you would push that would move the flashlight as the story progressed. In order to listen to the story you would play the cassette tape and push the button when the reader told you to. As I mentioned before there were two stories. One was about Mickey going on a picnic with his friends and how ants took their food. I believe that cassette and display were colored yellow. And the second story (in blue) was Mickey and his friends planning a surprise birthday party for Goofy. I always wanted one of these for my own, but never got to get one.

Do you know what this was called and where I can find one?; Reply
T-REX SKELETON KIT - KENNER - 1968 - 1970: We have a Styrofoam T-Rex skeleton kit that was given to my husband in the late 60's early 70's. Assembled he stands approx. 4' tall. He's all there, minus the tale piece and has one broken rib, but we have the piece and it can be easily repaired. We also have the original box in fair condition and the directions. We would like to know what his approximate value is. His rubber bands that hold him together need replaced but other than that, he's in excellent shape after nearly 40 years!! I have pictures if that will help. Thank you!! - Janine; Reply

VINTAGE VW BEETLE MUSIC JEWELRY BOX FIDDLER ON THE ROOF SANKYO: I recently found a red VW beetle with a late 60's/early 70's body style. It is about 15 inches long, 5 1/2 high and wide. The whole roof is hinged at the back and opens to reveal what looks like the inside of a jewelry box. The steering wheel acts as the wind-up knob for a music box under the front hood. The front hood is hinged at the front and inside is the music box which has a plastic cover with the words Sankyo Japan on it. Inside of both compartments are lined with a tan fabric. On the very bottom are two stickers. One says FIDDLER ON THE ROOF which I am guessing refers to the music it plays and the other states MADE IN JAPAN. All metal construction with the exceptions of the aforementioned fabric and the music box cover in plastic, and clear plastic headlights/tailights. Even the wheels are steel. It is missing the chrome strip down the center of the hood and one headlight. The roof hinge is slightly tweaked so it doesn't sit perfectly and the front hood has come off but looks to be very easily repaired. Paint is very good. Overall I'd rate this a very solid 8/8.5 in condition. I've found no reference online to anything even remotely similar to this. I'm not really a collector but found it odd enough to purchase. It will probably end up on Ebay at some point in time. It would sure be nice to find out if there were possible a source to replace the two missing pieces, the headlight and hood trim. Thank you!; Reply

It's a round plastic disc with two itty bitty batteries soldered into the disc and I would have to unsolder, remove batteries, try to find batteries, resolder and HOPE that it works.
