ALL RUBBER MALE DOLL BY MATTEL FOR THE POOL OR BATH AROUND 1975: In the mid 70's, I had a male doll. I could take in the tub. I had a plug in the back to let the water out. My mom said it had red swim trunks. Can you please help me?
ALPHABET LEARNING AND WORD SPEAKING CLIPBOARD: What is the name of my childhood toy (late 80's) it was pretty much a red clipboard with buttons for each letter and when you punched in a word it would say the word to the best of its ability. I also had a Teddy Ruxpin during the time period.
ALPHABOTS: Where can I find alphabots
ANTIQUE METAL TOY GUN: I am wondering if you have ever heard of this toy that looks pretty old. It is a metal gun that has been rusted up over time so other words on it are hard to make out.

BACKYARD TOYS: Is the Whirlybird Backyard 2 to 6 seater still manufactured anywhere? Thanks!
BALL MAZE POPPING BALL TOY - PLAYSKOOL: I am looking for a toy by Playskool. It has a bunch of miniature balls 1/4 or less in size, you press a button and the balls go up this winding "staircase" type thing and then fall down in to this maze. They don't actually pop, but it makes a noise that sounds like popping or cooking. Its hard to describe but my son fell in love with it when he visited my friends classroom. She couldn't remember where she got the toy but said it was "a few years old". Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

BARBIE HOUSE: I am trying to find a Barbie house that my sister use to have when we were growing up. It was probably made in the late '60s early '70's. It was a vinyl house in think more like a orange gold color. Inside there was a couch and a swivel chair. I believe the color was purple with big white flowers. There was a kitchen and a kitchen table along with a fake window scene with a pool showing outside. Do you know who the maker of that Barbie case was or where it even came from. I have been trying to find one for years. Hope you can help. Thanks much

BOARD GAME - COLORED BEADS: Approximately 1956-1957 I had a toy comprised of a clear plastic tray filled with row after row of concave half-spheres that would hold hundreds of tiny colored beads. The tray , which was about 12" - 18" square, would be placed on top of one of a set of colored drawings included with the toy (I remember Mickey Mouse's head being one of them). The object was to place the corresponding colored bead in each of the concave half-spheres so that when you were done you had a colored "bead picture". I seem to recall that it came with a miniature "golf tee" to which was affixed a small amount of sticky putty to pick up the beads with one at a time but that it was more trouble than it was worth so we just used our fingers. I remember that even the "older kids" (I was five) had a hard time doing it right without messing it up and that a good portion of the time was spent replacing beads we had knocked over into the wrong holes. Any idea what this toy/game was called?
BOARD GAME - EYE WITNESS - 1971: Where could I find the board game Eye Witness? Actually it is a set of cards with pictures on them. I think Milton Bradley made the game.
BOARD GAME - MAP OF SOLAR SYSTEM: Somewhere between 1962-1966 I had a board game which had a map of the solar system. There were cards of some sort, and one traveled from planet to planet, but I cannot remember how. Any idea what its name might have been? It would have been bought at a local retail store, probably a dime store, so it was probably a mass produced game from one of the major manufacturers.
BOARD GAME - TABOO: Do you know where I can purchase/order the card refills to this game?
BOOK - MONSTER IN MY CLOSET: Can I buy a Monster in My Closet book?
BOYS HANDHELD TOY - SIX FINGER: Looking for information about a Mattel Toy called Six Finger from 1965 to 1972. It was a handheld toy gun used by secret agents. The Six Finger was placed between your thumb and your fore finger. You would load the finger like a dart gun and could shoot items out of it.
BROWN TEDDY BEAR - MATTEL: I am looking for a teddy bear from the late 70's. Around 1978. The bear has a plastic face and came with a small bib that had honey bees on it and was trimmed in orange. He also had a little, yellow plastic bottle. When you would feed the bear water in his bottle, tears would come from his eyes. I think it was by Mattel. The tag on the bear is so warn that I can't make it out. What is the name of this bear? I want to find one for my child if possible. Thank you so much!
BUILDING TOYS: In the 1970's I played with a set consisting of card rectangles (about A3 size) which you fixed together with plastic clips which could be v-, t- or x-shaped. You could then build a boat, a house or whatever which you could then play in, and then take apart to build something else. Not strong enough toss it on though. Anyone any idea what it was called. Cheers, Jennie
BUNNY SQUEEZE TOY: I have an adorable squeeze toy of a cute, playful rabbit. Unlike most such toys with stiff poses, this one is reared up on his haunches, with his belly sticking out, arms flailing, and head twisted about 45 degrees to his body with an open-mouth smile -- a delight to behold. The shape is so complex that a three-piece mould was used to form him (I can see three vertical parting lines). He is about 3.5" tall, I am guessing made of HDPE plastic because he seemed rubbery when I first got him in the late sixties but he is now rigid. He is a pale yellow color, having browned slightly over the years. His face and paws are painted brown. The words MADE IN JAPAN are printed on the flat bottom, but no brand name or image from what I can tell. I am dying to find out more about this creature, or to purchase another. Any information about this toy would be greatly appreciated, I will gladly send pictures to anyone interested or curious. Thanks, Pat.

It is an orange ball about 1 1/2 inches in diameter encased in a hard clear plastic seamed enclosure. The ball has a cartoon lion face smiling with his fangs bared.

Lowe is that he started his toy company in 1928. What I would really like to know is the age of the chess set, and what it is made out of. The material is a hard plastic, (maybe).

DISNEY - DRAWING DISC: In the late 1970s, I had 3 green plastic discs that I think we got from our trip to Disneyworld. There were numbers all around the edge of the disc, and there were oddly-shaped holes all over the disc. Each hole also had a number beside it. There was also a little round hole in the center of the disc that you used to pin the disc to your paper. You drew a reference line on your paper, beside the little number 1 on the outside of the disc and then you colored in the hole that had a number 1 beside it. Next you turned the disc until the little number 2 on the edge of the disc was next to the line you had drawn and you colored in the hole that had a number 2 beside it. You continued turning the disc and coloring in each corresponding hole until you ran out of numbers. When you pulled out the pin and lifted the disc off your piece of paper, there would be a drawing of a Disney character. I think we had Goofy and Pluto--and maybe Donald? What on earth were these things called?
DISNEY METAL DOLLHOUSE: Where can I get replacement parts. I'm missing two interior walls.

EDUCATIONAL CASSETTE PLAYER: I am looking for a type of "interactive" cassette player that played a sort of "choose your own adventure" story. The user would place the cassette in the device and follow along a booklet and interacted with the story via large depressible buttons on the cassette machine. The buttons were of blue, yellow, green, and red colors I believe. The era of this toy was the mid to late 80s. I cannot remember the name of this toy, which has made scouring eBay and Googleing quite a chore. Ring a bell?
EDUCATIONAL GAME - COOTIE: What year was "Cootie" invented?
EDUCATIONAL TOY - SELF CHECKING TILES: Do you know the name of a self-checking educational toy which was available in New Zealand in the early 1980s and perhaps the late 1970s, and which was similar in concept to today's FunThinkers? Your puzzle booklet might be about general knowledge, advanced math, sports, or whatever. In each puzzle, you are asked 24 questions (I think). You choose your answers from a list, and accordingly place numbered tiles on a grid in a grey plastic case. When you're finished you close the lid and flip the case over, to reveal the pretty pattern on the reverse side of the tiles. The difference from FunThinker is that there were more tiles, and that the patterns on the tile were not a single solid block of color. Rather, it would be white-and-something and the arrangements of the tiles could give you stripes, diamonds or hourglasses in red, blue and green. Many thanks, Kristie

One was black and one was white, but they were both covered with rabbit fur with the exception of the face and hands. At least that is how I remember them. I was only 4 or 5 when I had them. Would you be able to tell me the name or manufacturer of them? I would love to find one or two, but couldn't find them on eBay. Thanks, Lisa
FURRY FAMILIES: I am looking for a confirmation of a toy that I had when I was young. I am sure it was called "Furry Families". They were little sets of animal families that came in a house. For example I had a family of squirrels and the lived in some sort of jar. There were a bunch of these, they sort of came out around the same time as littlest pet shop, and were sort of the same concept. However I can not find them anywhere on the internet, and was wondering if you know any information on them. Please get back to me if you know anything. Thank you.

LEARNING DEVELOPMENT TOY WITH MAGNETIC BOARD: I am desperately trying to remember the name of/find a toy I loved in the early 70's. It was similar to the modern "Gearation" but was not as colorful; no jazzy colors or fancy finishes, just the basics - very minimalist in feel. (Today, I'd expect to see it in a Museum of Modern Art gift shop.) The toy was a box that could be opened and used as a sort of easel for tabletop play. The box lid was magnetic. Inside were housed various cogs and wheels to be stuck to the magnetic surface. One piece was battery operated and, when switched on, would cause all the other pieces to turn. Many thanks for any info - I have been searching the web for the better part of 2 weeks with no luck.

There was also a light on the top of the toy. It sang lullaby and made bubbly noises. |It also had to straps on the back to strap to the side of the crib. I would really love to get one for my daughters new born child. Thanks sooo much, Susan
MAC THE SMART STOOL: Do you have this in stock? Can you do any better on the purchase of two? I know it is discontinued. Thanks Diana
MAD SCIENTIST HOT PLATE MONSTER LAB: I had a toy in the late 60s to early 70s, that involved a hot plate under a bubble and some little plastic cubes. You would place these little colored plastic cubes on the hot plate and they would "unfold" to reveal a plastic monster hidden within. When you were done you could place the monster figurine into a vice-like device in the toy and compact him back into a cube shape for future use. The whole idea was to sit and watch these plastic cubes heat up and reveal the monster you were "creating"
MAGNETIC PICK UP STICKS: Looking for miniature set of 2" pickup sticks with a tiny magnet strip around the middle. Includes a 3" tube with small magnet on the end to pick up the sticks. Was an old car toy some 50 years ago.

MATH SCALE TOY: I'm looking for a Math toy I had in the mid 1960s. It was a plastic balance scale and it came with colorful plastic numbers that were weighted differently. You could hang the numbers on either side of the scale. For instance, if you hung a "5" on one side, you could balance out the scale by hanging a "2" and "3" on the other side. This simple toy catapulted my understanding of math. I'd like to know who the manufacturer was and if it is being made again. I can't find it on eBay or in any on-line toy stores.
MCDONALD'S TOY: I am trying to identify a McDonald's happy meal toy. Its a purple figurine of a fat character with a mouth in his belly. The belly is rubber and the mouth can be opened by pressing a button on the back. Anybody know what this is?

METAL MECHANICAL BEAR TARGET: Around the mid to late 1960s I had a toy bear that moved about on battery operated wheels and had targets on its body for shooting toy darts from a gun. When hit the toy bear would rise up, roar, turn and head off in another direction. Do you know the name of this toy and who made it? I need to refine my search criteria and have hit a blank wall.
METAL TOY ROLLER COASTER - PRE 1970's: I recall an older (pre-1970) toy table-top roller-coaster that was mostly gravity-operated, but had an electric lift mechanism of some sort. It wasn't the common Chein lithographed tin set but, like it, the track and cars were all-metal. I think that the cars were just simple, die cast pieces of metal (more like a chassis) with 4 wheels, and were bare metal. Does this ring a bell? Thanks in advance -- Robert
MICKEY MOUSE BOOK BANK: I have a Mickey mouse Book bank of metal covered in leather. The Mickey embossed on the front. It is in excellent condition with the key to open it. It was my fathers, I understand it was from the 1920. Any idea of the value? I have not been able to find a similar one for comparison anywhere on the net. (though it IS an awfully big net!)
MICKEY MOUSE STUFFED TOY: We finally found my father's stuffed Mickey Mouse with the tag still on the side. We believe it to be from around the late 1930's, or early 40's, he played with this toy as a child. The tag states that it is filled with foam rubber, and also states it is "Gund Mfg. Co". My father and I are wondering where, when it was produced, and if it may have any significant value other than of course the sentimental side of this. Please and thank-you in advance for any information that you could give me.
MICRO MACHINES: Today I picked up what I thought was a Micro Machine, but upon further inspection, was something different. I thought Micro Machines were the first to do the 1/144 scale car. It's a blue little dune buggy, with the number "10" on the hood. It has a little chrome engine in the back. The bottom reads, (c) 1971 IDEAL TOY CORP. HONG KONG.P." I can provide photos. I was looking for any other info about this.

MONSTER HAND PUPPET: In the mid 80's a vinyl hand puppet came out. They were basically the head of a monster with little dangling arms and you could operate there eyes to look left and right from inside. They were about a foot in diameter and the box that they came in was made up like a crate with keep away signs and the front opening was a plastic cage that could slide up to let the monster out. I hope this is enough info and I hope you can figure out what I'm talking about. Thank you so much for your time.
NERF GUN - BLUE BALLOON: I am looking for a see through blue Nerf gun that has a balloon inside that air pumps to shoot Nerf guns which I think shoot a bunch at a time. I have really been through a lot to try to find this so as much help as I could get would be wonderful ! It is like light blue with a dark air balloon inside that pumps the darts out.
NIGHT LIGHT - MOTHER GOOSE: I am looking for a children's night light that played cassette tapes. It was a desk-top lamp and when the tape was over, the light would slowly fade out and the turn itself off. It was around 1989 when I owned one for my son.

NOISE MAKER - TOY MONSTER: I am trying to find a toy I had when I was young. It is from the late 1970s or early 1980's and was about 8 inches tall or so. I don't recall the name, but it was made of hard plastic and looked like a little monster. You would put paper in its mouth and slam down on its head to make a popping noise. Any idea of the name?
NOVELTY RING - THREE "CARROT": I have been trying to locate a toy ring with which I became engaged some 52 years ago. It was purchased at Newark airport for less than a dollar. It was an adjustable toy ring with three small plastic carrots on the top. There was also a version with four carrots. The carrots were about 1/4 inch in size. I have searched Google, e-Bay and others and have found similar rings, with carrots 1 - 1/2 inch in length that are attached at one end to the ring and some that are more elaborate and are "embedded" in the top of the ring itself; the ring I am seeking has three small plastic carrots affixed to the top of the ring. Sometime in the past half-century, the ring has been lost and I would like to find another before our anniversary. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Jim
OPEN CUBE BUILDING TOY: This game was around 72-74. It consisted of open cubes that you used to build a construct, and you attached a yellow ball elevator to it and then the two inch balls would roll around inside and go back to the bottom of the elevator to go again. You could build the set any way you wanted. What was the name of the toy? I can explain this in more detail if you interested.
PEDAL SPORTS CAR - RADIO: I am just wondering if you know how old my husbands toy pedal car is. He says that his father won it for him at a fair when he was two years old. It isn't called Radio Flyer, just Radio. It has a small padded seat, and a working "radio" that plays music box music when wound up. My husband was two at the time of acquisition, which was in 1964. If you have any ideas on the value of this collectable, please let me know. Thank you.

It was blue, with orange handles and wheels, the shoe lace was white. Made of hard plastic, I believe. I was born in 1977 and in the pictures I have of me riding it, it says I'm two-years old in the pictures. I can't find this item anywhere. Can you please help me? I'd like to find one and give it to my little girl some day.

Thanks.
PLUSH ANIMAL - YELLOW DOG WITH VELCRO: I used to have this little yellow plush dog that had a Velcro strip on its stomach. It was around 4-5 inches in length, about 2 in width. It was primarily yellow, but had a brown nose and brown on the front part of its ears (which were on top of its head). I believe I got it between '87 - '89 at a Kay-Bee Toys near Topeka, Kansas. I remember the display for it had a bunch of different colored puppies/dogs and the display itself had a photo of a kid wearing a sweater which had several of the pups attached to it (hence the Velcro). I have no idea what brand of toy it was or where I can find out. If anyone can help me, I'd be 1,000 times grateful.
PLUSH MONKEY WITH BAND - AID: I am looking to find out any information possible on this item that I purchased in the early 1980's. I was bought 1982-1983. It was a brown monkey with a band aid on its forehead. I would guess it to be about a 12" plush. I bought it in N.Y. Please help if you can. Thank you!
PLUSH TALKING BIRD: I have had for the past thirty years a blue plush talking bird. He has long blond hair and a pull-string to make him talk. Although his words are a little unclear, some of the recordings sound like "My name is Hickory", "I talk nonsense", and a nonsensical message that seems to be "Blibber blabber gloomp shop". Do you have any idea who made this toy and was he possibly a character on a TV show or something? I've never seen another one like him, on e-bay or anywhere else, and I would like to know more about him. I would guess he was made in the early-to-mid-1970s. Thanks so much for your help.

We used to call it "Snuggle Bunny" but I'm not sure if that's the correct name. It was made by Mattel. My brother loved this toy and I'm desperate to find one for my upcoming baby. Can you help?
