Action figure motorized monster: Back in the mid to late 1970's I used to have a green six legged battery operated monster that walked, It had a head like a triceratops, a armored body, and a flash light that caused it to freeze when you hit the sensor under it's head. its eyes and mouth would also light up red. For some reason i think it might have been a GI-Joe toy. but I'm not sure.; Reply

along the line of yo - yo's and frisbe: I remember a toy that I had in the late 70's to early 80's. I was basically from left to right. A rubber ball, 15cm of string attached ball with a 10mm plastic tube that was 30 cm long, then another string and ball. You would hold the middle tube and rotate the balls, and do tricks. I think it was a Yak A Buchi or Yakabuchi . I can not find any thing of this. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time. Travis B.; Reply
Art/Creativity: I am trying to find something similar to a toy I had as a kid it would be in the late 70's - early 80's. I don't remember the name of the item but I can tell you how it worked. There were different sized (plastic) circles that had gear like teeth on the outside and pen tip sized holes on the inside. You would place the pen tip into a hole and then move the circle around another circle (using the gear like teeth) when you were finished you created different sphere's or spirals or even star like shapes. Depending on which hole you placed your pen tip in would determine the size of your shape. You could use different colored pens for each size and create a cool picture of shapes. Do you remember this toy? If so what was it called and is there anything in todays market that is similar for purchase?; Reply
Artistic toy similar to spirograph: I had a toy in the early 90's that was similar to a spirograph, but instead of using a pencil and gears to create designs, this was a stationary pencil holder that clamped to a table. it stood about 18 inches high, and it had a platform suspended from the pencil holder with 4 cords. This platform held paper in place, and you created designs by adjusting the pencil until it was touching the paper, and then gave the platform a nudge or spin. it would then swing like a pendulum, drawing concentric patterns based on how the platform was pushed. No one I have spoken with has any idea what I'm talking about. Any help?; Reply

Educational Toy, mid - 1960s, French/English language + battery operated: I'm trying to find out the name (and manufacturer...and the toy if possible) of a toy from the mid-1960s. I know I had it in 1967-1968, but it may have been manufactured prior to that. It was about 18" long, plastic. It had plastic pieces with words on them. The words were in French on one side and English on the other. You had to hook the pieces together to create sentences, and you then slid them through the 18" plastic part (battery operated, I'm pretty sure, not electric I am sure) which then "read" the words or sentences to you. The pieces connected (like a puzzle/train) to run through the reader. I LOVED this toy, but I can't recall the name of it nor the maker. I'd love to find it.; Reply

Robotic Toy: I purchased this toy on ebay and cannot find any information as to its name and manufacturer. It is 13" tall and and has a sticker in the 9volt battery pack that says 1975 and another sticker on the side that says Electronic Product / Do Not Drop. The color is a pale grayish blue. The head is all gray with a red transparent rectangular visor that has two eyes that light up when he is turned on. He has a gray jet type back pack. There are two red transparent jets that are under the back pack when it is in place. Above the back pack is small on off switch. Above that are two little plastic toggle switches that when you push the one on the left allows the robot to make blasting sounds and flash lights under the jet pack, but nothing seems to happen when you push the other toggle switch Also when you turn him on there are two lights below his chest that flash back and forth from one side to the other. There is a mini plug outlet in his body that is on his right side. Finally, his arms are movable and so are his legs which also bend at the knees and hips. Any idea what he is and who made him?; Reply

Ship - Landing Ship - 1960s: I'm looking for a vintage mid 1960's toy that my father had when he was a child. It was a toy landing ship, like the kind that landed at Normandy Beach at D-Day and would let down a ramp to unload soldiers or vehicles. This particular one was capable of launching (either by springs or by batteries, I'm, not clear which), a tank out of it and down it's ramp. It may have also had battery powered lights. It was most likely not intended to go in the water, and probably had wheels. I have tried e-bay and google searches and not found anything matching this. Any help would be appreciated.

Upright toy/game with animals passing an acorn with their tails?: I wanna say I got the toy for christmas '78 I would've been 3 yrs old. It could kind've be compared to a pinball game for toddlers. It was yellow and stood upright and there was an oak tree painted on the background with different animals placed on branches. I believe there was a squirrel a rabbit, a raccoon and a bird. There were piano looking key on the bottom of the game with each animal head on a key. The object was to flip the acorn/ball to the different animals and they'd catch it with their tails and the acorn/ball would slide down the holes and come out the bottom of the tree and you'd start all over. I'd love to find one for my 2 year old! thanks so much!; Reply
