ACTION FIGURE
I've got a bunch of small action figures much like the monster in my pocket but they had moveable arms/legs (depending on the figure) and could hold weapons and tools.(about 2 inches tall) It was around the late 80's early 90's and they had little heat sensitive stickers on their chests that changed color to indicate a magic ability they had.

BATTLE BUILDERS
My son has several Battle Builders from 1996 that I was wondering how much were worth?
BLACK VELVET MONKEY
I have an old monkey with no shoes or clothes at all. This one is black plush with a rubber hand-painted face. The once soft plush material is now more stiff and brittle. Handling it leaves tiny black shavings on your hands. It's hands and feet are made of the same rubber-like material. It has red fabric sewn on as ears, and has a red triangle shaped patch on it's bottom of another red material, more felt-like. It has a fabric tag that's now unreadable, attached to its right leg. There is apparent old lettering on the tag but it is unreadable. The monkey is stuffed with wood shavings. It's in a sitting position at about 4" tall. It was given to my brother or myself when we were very young by our grandmother. She passed in 1974 in Illinois and was born in Ireland in 1908. I would love to know the origin of this.
BLOCKS - 1980'S
I'm trying to find the name of a certain waxy type of building block from the 1980's. I think they were sold at Toy's R Us.

BOARD GAME
I'm not sure when the game came out but I played it in the early 90's... the main things I can remember about it is ... it was a game made for 2 players kind of a battleship set-up except the frame of the game was white and each person had their own side that had multicolored squares that set in a bigger square the object was to get the colors all lined up like all blue in the top, all red in the middle, all green in the 3rd row whoever finished first was to put the screen that stood up in the middle down on their side. Please help I'd really like to know
BOARD GAME - DON'T BREAK THE ICE SCHAPER

BOUNCING VELVET HORSE
We acquired a red velvet ridable horse that has wheels on the bottom of it's legs. When the child bounces up and down on it the horse moves forward. If the child pulls the reighs to the right then the neck will bend and the horse will start to bounce to the right. Also the tail moves up and down when the horse moves forward. I've checked all over on the internet to tell me more about the horse, but have not had any success. I also have pictures that I can email to you if you'd like. I'm trying to figure how much to sell this horse for. Thanks a lot. Lisa

BUSY BEE - TEDDYBEAR - GRAHAM CRACKER
My wife has been in search of this random toy from her childhood (Late 70's / Early 80's) for years now. She claims that it was called 'Busy Bee'...but is not sure. Apparently, it was a plastic teddybear dressed up like a bee that had a spinning device that would carve up Graham Crackers. No one but her and her brother have been able to share the memory of this toy. I would love to figure this out for her....do you have any idea what this may be?

CAR MADE OF PLASTIC TUBES
I am trying to find a piece of toy I had in the early 1970's. A little car, made of plastic tubes (pipes). It was an assemble kit, like LEGO, just with tubes instead of bricks. When the tubes had formed a frame, you could place a little plate surrounded with "half-tubes" in the frame, so the tubes would hold the plate. I would very much like to know how many different models that were made, what they were called, and if possible, where to buy them.

I'm looking for a Carter's Pink Bunny from about 1998. It was small (about 9 inches from ear tip to toe). It had pink thermal material skin with white velveteen paws, head and ears. It had a rattle in it and was for babies. Do you know where I could find one? I've already searched worldwide on eBay.
CARTOON DRAWING KITS
I used to have 2 cartoon drawing kits as a kid, but I can't remember or locate what their exact names were. They both included light boxes to trace cartoon characters. The first was a Disney product and was probably purchased late 60s/early 70s. It included sheets depicting various Disney characters in several poses to trace. I think the product name may have tied in with the Mickey Mouse Club (although I had it before that show was revived). It seems to me, the Disney product may have been made by one of the better-known toy companies. The second one was probably purchased mid to late 70s and was geared more specifically to making comics as it included background drawings as well as characters to trace. I had a western-themed kit, but I think there may have been kits featuring other genres as well. I think the manufacturer of this latter product was a smaller and more obscure company.

CHILDHOOD EDUCATIONAL PUZZLE GAME
When I was a child in the mid-80's we had this educational game that had square cardboard pieces with numbers on one side and abstract designs on the back. There was a booklet that had matching games and questions and such and to match things up you had to put the right number in the right place in a black plastic case made to fit about 8-12 of those cardboard tiles. to see if you answered everything correctly you flipped over the plastic case and looked at the other side of the numbers. There would then be a design that you made, usually symmetrical or in a pattern of some sort. You would then look in the answer section and see if you made the correct design. I remember loving this game. when I started looking for it I could visualize that black plastic case with gold lettering on it. For some reason I think it had the word THINK in the title, like Thinkamajinks or something. I Googled that and didn't come up with what I was looking for. I don't know why that name rings a bell. If you could help me solve this mystery it would be greatly appreciated. thanks you! Tiffany
CINDY WARDROBE FROM 1960s
Whilst cleaning out the attic I came across a Cindy Wardrobe, complete with hangers and original box, all in very good condition. It dates to the 1960s, the box is white with a pink design on the front of Cindy in a babydoll-style dress. I was wondering if you had any idea of how much this may be worth? On eBay there is one for a buy-it-now price of £45 but I wonder if I could get more money elsewhere?
CLASSIC WOODEN CHRISTMAS TOY
I have a wooden toy about 6 inches high of a Christmas tree with windmill blades and angels at the top. The blades are to make the tree spin and the angels to "fly" striking the bells as they pass. What is the name of this toy? The keywords I've used for a web search ( spin, angel, tree ) aren't giving me a hit, and the couple of folks who remember a similar toy in their family don't know what it was called either. Thanks for your help, P H
CLAW GAME - PENNY MACHINE
In the early 1970s I had a toy that belonged to my father when he was younger, so I guess this should be in the early to mid 1950s. It was a plastic turntable with a clear plastic lid. Inside the lid was a claw. the turntable held cheap plastic toys and you used the claw to pick them up. My dad calls this a "penny machine" but I cant find it. Am I wrong, or delusional, or just not looking in the right places? Thanks, Trace Talley

CONSTRUCTION TOY
In the mid 1970s I had a construction toy that consisted of plastic (acrylic?) squares, rectangles and cylinders that were about a 1/4" thick. the squares and rectangles had slots on each side and the cylinders had slots in each end. You built things by putting the pieces together at 90 degree angles interlocking them at the slots. They were clear but colored, I remember blue, red, purple and yellow. I have tried searching the web and calling specialty toy stores to no avail. The closest thing I found was GIK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIK. This is a similar toy but it is made of cardboard. Please help.
CREATIVE PLAYSET
I remember a playset from my grandma's house. Probably made in the 70's. It contained 1000s of tiny odd-shaped plastic pieces in all different colors.

DOLL - 1990s
I had a doll whose body and head were all hard plastic. She couldn't have been more than 13" tall. Most of her blonde hair was painted on except a some patch that was no more than 2in long. She eat and drank but had no moving mechanisms. Also there was a button on her back which made tears come out of her eyes, which didn't close. I think she even wet herself. I had her in the mid-90s but that doesn't mean she wasn't older since when I was younger I received all sorts of hand-me-downs my cousins who were 10 years older. But if you could help me find her name, not necessarily the year, I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

I am trying to find information on whether or not a beloved doll from my childhood (mid-70's to early-80's) is still being made and what, if any, information can be found about her. She was a hard plastic baby doll with jointed arms and legs, that you could bend back and forth to make her crawl. She ran on a battery/batteries (which were located in a compartment in the dolls back) and, I believe, she had blonde, curly hair. Any information on this doll would be greatly appreciated! I think the doll may have been made by Mattel, but am not certain of that! Thanks! Heather S.

DOLL WITH SKIRT COVERING UP DOLLHOUSE
Between 1981-1991, I had a toy that I would like to find for my daughter. It was a plastic doll with a skirt that covered up a small dollhouse.

She sat on top of the dollhouse and her skirt covered up everything underneath. Please help me find this.

DOLLS - FLAT RUBBER BENDABLE - IDEAL
Wondering if there is a name given to a dollhouse playset that my cousins and I used to play with when we were children in the late 1960s to early 1970s. the dolls were flat, rubber with bendable arms and legs with hair. the dollhouse was a vinyl carry away case with a handle, clear plastic sunroof and the back side unsnapped/buttoned to reveal the inside. the furniture was hard plastic. The dolls had brown hair, blond hair and I think red hair. PLEASE! I don't know if this set had a name or was just a generic ideal toy set. I DO know that it was made by Ideal. Can you help with this? Thanks much!

ELECTRONIC RACE TRACK - 1968
I am looking for the name of an electric race track my husband got as a child. No one in the family can remember the name of the company or brand. My mother in law said they bought it at Sears in 1968 or 1969. The race track itself was huge and would take up most of the living room. It had a very high bank because the cars would go so fast! My husband said the cars were much larger than any of the ones made today. If you can at least point me in the direction of a company who made large race tracks back them or any other info you may have, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you ....Christi

ERECTOR SET - PLASTIC BRIDGE - 1966-ish (possibly only in UK)
In the middle of the 60's (while a child in the UK) I had an erector set which was geared to building bridges. There were long yellow rectangular-tube pieces which were joined together by 3 dimensional crosses (i.e. they had 6 nubs, one for each direction), which were clear (or nearly clear). There were thin white strips which could be used to make diagonal girders. To top it off, (13?) square grey panels (the side of the square being the length of the yellow tubes) were used to make the road surface of the bridge. I can't for the life of me think of a name for this beast! Anyone got a thought?

FISHER PRICE RIDE-ON BUS - 70'S
As I child I went through these ride-on bus-like vehicles. They had a drop down door in the rear to hold toys inside. Steering wheel w/ horn on top. I'm sure these are all used up. I think the bus was white and the door in the back that dropped down was red. Is there anywhere to find one of these and what were they called?
FOLD UP PLAYSETS FOR DOLLS - 1980's
I'm looking for a playset that I had growing up in the 1980's. It was an amazing dollhouse that you could add onto with different rooms. Each room could fold-up and had special features. The main room had an entry way, working doorbell, a table that folded down, and a desk. The kitchen had a magnetic strip on the floor so the dolls could walk and stand (they had magnetic shoes--about the size of a Barbie). The kitchen had all kinds of tiny plastic fruits and veggies that you could "boil" on the stove. The laundry room came with a vacuum that 'plugged in' and worked and a washing machine that you could really add water to. The bedroom looked like a suitcase and the bed came down out of the wall. I'm desperately looking for these toys. Any help you could give me would be much appreciated! Thanks!

GAF TALKING VIEWMASTER 1970's
I know these were notoriously unreliable, but I recently bought one off e-bay. Everything works fine, but when all the reels get to frame 5 and 7 a loud thumping occurs and some skipping. This is remedied if I hold the ViewMaster at a downward angle. However, I would like to see if I could eliminate the problems altogether. Any ideas? Thank you so much for your time.

GAME - TOMY
I'm looking for the name of a TOMY game that I saw in 1998. It was a bubble with 4 animals inside (giraffe, elephant, etc.) and you could push 4 buttons to get them to pass a ball bearing around. Similar to "Screwball Scramble" except much simpler and contained within a plastic bubble. Also similar to a game I loved as a kid, "Pass the Nuts." Thanks!

GIANT DRAGONFLY VEHICLE
What was the name of the giant dragonfly and the toy series that it came from. It came in some time around 1977-79 There was a set of 3 monster action figures you could get. One was green with wings, another was purple and had 4 arms, and the 3rd was red. All had inter-changeable arms. They would pop on and off. The dragonfly was a vehicle that you could place a figure in it's head. I believe it was over 2' in length. Black and purple with long wings that you flap.

INFANT CRIB TOY BUSY BOX WARMING DISH
While this isn't technically a toy, I believe it's based on one: Kohner's Busy Box. I am trying to track down the existence of a plastic child's warming tray, probably from the 60's, that had "busy box" type elements on it. I remember seeing one once in a second hand store and was impressed by one specific button on it that said, "Piggy Wants More" next to it and rang a bell every time it was depressed. Foolishly, I didn't buy it when I first saw it and when I came back to get it later, it was gone! From what I can recall it looked just like an early Busy Box with the windmill and maybe the door and the bell button as described above, plus one or two recessed segments to place the child's food. There was also a stopper where you added the hot water to keep the food warm, and I think it was light blue plastic. But the item I remember the most was the "Piggy Wants More" button. So my question... Have you ever seen one of these and is it something that you think Kohner may have made, or was it somebody else... Fisher Price maybe? I know this isn't really about children's toys, but with your experience in this area, I hope you can help me and thank you in advance. Jack

LARGE TOY TRUCK - TRUCKERPILAR
I'm looking for a toy from the 80's that I believe was called a Truckerpillar. It was a large plastic (?) truck connected together in many segments, sort of like a caterpillar. It was also being played with by Tom Hanks in the movie "Big" (1988). It's a really fantastic toy, and I would really love to be able to find it for my fiancé for Christmas. I'm pretty sure it is called a Truckerpillar, but I can't find any such toy called that! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

LITTLE TOY POLICEMAN/FIREMAN WITH ROTATING HELMET AND THREE FACES
In the early 80's I owned a small red toy policeman who had a hollow body (no arms or legs, just a roundish/ovallish shape with his uniform painted on. He had a rotating helmet and three faces - as you turned the helmet he went from happy, to stern, to either surprised or really angry. He was painted red in the uniform and helmet, looked like a policeman but could well have been a fireman. He was all of maybe 7cm high and 4 cm fat but he was my favorite toy and I would LOVE to track one like him down.

MARBLE TOWER GAME
What is the name of the game made by Ideal with black, red, and white marbles with an orange and yellow tower?
MARBLE/BALL BOWL AND RELEASE TOY
Around 1973 we played with a toy that was rectangular in shape, had a clear facing front with evenly spaced sections about 4 or 5 that ran vertically across and was somewhere around 14 inches across.The top was about 4\" to 5\" deep where marbles or balls were stored and held in place. Below each section was a lever that would release the balls/marbles when hit, rolling down the attached back that was slightly curved. The object was to roll a ball or marble to this game from a couple of feet away and aim at the lever, releasing the balls/marbles that came spilling out. I think that each section had a certain number of balls/marbles that got placed in it and you wanted to aim for the biggest jackpot first. I'm having a hard time coming up with a name for this and when I\'ve looked at different sites for 70's toys I couldn't find anything. Could you point me in the right direction. Thanks
MCDONALD'S TOY
I have a whole bag of these toys and I have no idea what they are called. They are McDonald's because on each hat has an M sign. I will try to explain what they look like. They are different colors. Basically just with a head and legs. The only features they have are eyes and what seems to be hair all over the head. Some are roller-skating and others are on stilts.
MECHANICAL TOY - MATTEL
I had this toy as a kid, around 1982-84, that had two sides. It involved a metal ball and one side made the ball go up and the other side helped the ball go down. Both sides were clear plastic, so you could see everything. One side had animals that flipped the ball up to the top (if I remember correctly) and the other side was gears and pulleys, etc to get the ball down. I may be describing the ball's actions on the sides in vice-versa, but it's been over 20 years since my dad got rid of this toy and I have been wanting to find it so my own son can have the fun of playing with this toy. I had a great time with it and was wondering if you knew what it was. I believe it was made by Mattel, but I could be wrong. I hope you know what it is so I can find one. Thank you!

METAL CARS FROM THE '70's
When I was a little boy in the '70s, I had a set of metal cars that were shaped like fruits and vegetables.

Please Help! It's driving me crazy!
METAL FRUIT CARS
I need serious help finding out information about toy cars I had as a child in the early 70's. These cars were metal and shaped like fruits and vegetables.

I was 4 or 5 years old, so my memory of them is faint. Please help
MICKEY MOUSE WOODEN ROCKING HORSE

It is all wooden with the old type hardware holding it together. I would like to know about how old it is and who the toy company was. It needs some clean up and the rockers replaces as they were pretty deteriorated. How much restoration should be applied as it does look fairly good. Thank you for any information and your help

OUTDOOR RIDE ON TOY
I remember about 1980 my brothers had a metal toy that had two seats sitting across from each other and you sat in the seat and put your feet on a bar below. You had a handle in front of you that you pulled towards you and then pushed it towards the other person across from you. So it was like sawing a tree in half. Back and forth motion made the toy spin. It was all metal and was raised from the ground like a merry-go-round. The faster you pushed and pulled the bar the faster it would spin. I hope this is a good enough description for you to tell me where I can find one. Thanks, Robin
OUTDOOR TOY - HAMSTER WHEEL
In the mid 1970's our family had a plastic "wheel" large enough for a child to fit inside and roll across the yard. It had 3 or 4 multi-colored, interlocking, plastic pieces that formed the circle but could also be reshaped into other climbing structures. My cousin called it a "play all." Others called it a hamster wheel. I've looked everywhere for any reference and can only find today's inflatable version. Does anyone remember this or know what its actual name or maker was?
OVAL RACE TRACK - MATCHBOX / HOTWHEELS
In the mid-1970's I had an oval race track for hot wheels/matchbox cars. You had to manually pull a lever to make the cars go around the track. The track pieces were red, white & blue. The big curve was blue and the housing for the manual levers was white. It was for 2 racers. Would you happen to know the manufacturer or where I could find this track or one like it?

PJ SPARKLES SPARKLINS HUNNING SOFT BUNNY "BUNNY BEANS?
I have looked all over EBay and Googled every possibility. Its a silk plush pink rabbit, glow in the dark stars all over the body, fuzzy pink glittery hair on top, long ears, plastic eyes. The rabbit also came in yellow and purple. I know the toy had a necklace around it and when you rubbed it, it had a secret message underneath. It says "I Love You". Also when you shut off the lights, its eyelashes glow in the dark, giving the impression the toy was asleep. My father got it for me for Easter right after my grandfather passed away. He bought it from Toys-R-Us when I was 6 years old (I am now 23). This rabbit went with me EVERYWHERE. Unfortunately it was lost on a trip to Chicago when I was 8 years old. I cried for weeks straight. My parents even offered a $1000 reward for its safe return. I have spent all these years trying to find any information on that toy or any information on the toy maker to find one like it. Apparently it was a very rare toy. I never knew of any one else having it. I do have a picture of the stuffed toy. Anybody have one? Anybody want to sell one? I would love the pink Bunny Beans version I had, but would also love to collect the others. Thank YOU!

PLUSH DOG - WALKS ALONG
I'm trying to figure out the name of a plush Dalmatian dog my sister once had in the 1990's its legs attach by Velcro to a plastic unit that has wheels and a handle so that the dog 'walks' along. The handle was made out of hard plastic, and was red. The main box was white, and had a piece that fit into a slit in the dogs head to make it bob up and down. It was made, I believe, by either Fisher Price or Playskool.

If he is upset or tired this is who he searches for. PLEASE HELP! I have looked everywhere in stores and on the internet. I don't know what else to do. I wrote to Carter's and they were the ones that told me it was discontinued.

PLUSH TOY - HENRY
I have a 4 ft stuffed pal from my youth purchased in the early 70's named Henry. All that I have been able to find is that I seem to own a rare large original of this character, and that he was made by Animal Fair. This large, important friend was a gift to me on my day of birth. I beg to know where this Henry dog character originated, why he is so rare, who made him, was he based on a book or cartoon, how many were made, why are there recently new reproductions, where can I get my loving original fixed properly, what may my boy be worth? thanks in advance for your patience for my numerous questions.

RIDE ON TOY - PLUSH HORSE BY DAN DEE COLLECTORS CHOICE
We were recently given a plush horse/ pony by Dan Dee Collectors Choice, and I would like to find some instructions on what it does and if it can be repaired. I found one listing on eBay for the same item selling for $99 and listed as rare. It is 31" tall and 33" long and suppose to make noises, play the Lone Ranger tune and move it's head. Ours doesn't make any sounds and the back legs may be broken (but I don't know since I'm not sure what its suppose to do). Its is noted for 5-8 yr olds. It is brown with a white mane, tail and feel like a Clydesdale. The problem is that my child is only 3, and I want to know if this is worth holding onto for 3 years or do I risk hurting my in-laws feelings by throwing it away. The most important thing is to keep my child or anyone else from getting hurt. Thanks for your help.
RIDE ON TOY - SPACESHIP WITH SIT AND SPIN
In the late 1970's ('77-'80) my brother and I received a ride-on spaceship toy for Christmas that was essentially a glorified sit-n' spin. The whole thing was mounted on a sit-n-spin. A child could sit and have his leg's supported and there was a handle in the crotch which you could turn to spin the entire toy. In front of the child's face and above the handle was a large housing that had a "screen" with what looked like a tie-fighter on a spaceship. There were a number of buttons for sound-effects and you could make the tie fighter "blow-up." Do you know what toy this is and who made it. Thanks! Best Regards, John

SPACESHIP TOY
There was a 1980's spaceship toy that would make different pitched noise depending on how high off the ground it was. Higher pitch for higher, lower pitch for lower. It would also beep if anything was on a collision course with it. The closer you got to the object, the faster the beeps were. I think the cockpit (the section that made the sounds) could detach from the main body. This is all I remember about this toy. Any input on what it was called would be helpful. Thanks!

Its 'hands' had Velcro on them, I used to run around with its arms around my neck. It was pretty long, maybe 2 feet. I would appreciate any information.

I'm in need of assistance. My sister had a stuffed rabbit from birth that was sadly lost several years ago due to an unfortunate error. It was her favorite plaything. Her twenty-first birthday is coming up soon and I thought a wonderful gift would be the stuffed rabbit. That is... if I can find it.

TRANSFORMING RED TRUCK 1980'S-1990'S
I've been rather nostalgic lately and remember a toy from my youth, but am unable to come up with its exact name so I can purchase it from eBay (hopefully). It was most likely made in the early 90's, however it could've been earlier, say late 80's. The truck was red and approximately 12-16 inches in length. It was made out of plastic. I believe it was some form of tow truck, as I remember a wench on the back. But what made this toy unique, was you could press a small latch near the bottom of the truck which would release the cab part of the truck and elevate it on risers. The headlights would also pop-out, as they were spring loaded to represent missiles of some sort. The truck also shot little orange discs from its grill. These discs were loaded on the top of its hood and would fire when the truck rolled forward. I loved this toy, and hope to one day own one again. Do you have any idea on what this truck was called? Any guess is appreciated. Thank you!

VINTAGE GAS/SERVICE STATION
I am looking for a gas/service station all metal from the mid to late 1950's. It had a battery operated elevator to lift cars to second level. To get cars down again there was a ramp that went from 2nd to first level. I think it had 2 bays. It had 2 or 3 gas pumps. One gas pump had a little lever on the front and when it was pushed down it sounded like the gas pump was really working. 2 or 3 cars came with it. One or two were metal and the third was red plastic. This one the hood would go up and down, the doors opened. It had a tall oval plastic sign on a pedestal type pole with the name of station on it.It was fairly wide and deep. I think my parents sent for it from Sears, Montgomery Wards, or Aldens Christmas catalog. I loved to play with this gas station. Do you have any idea where I could find one?

YELLOW SMILEY FACE TOY WITH STRINGY HAIR AND SQUEAKING TUMMY
I'm looking for a very specific toy. It is a small figure of a smiley face person with stringy or fro-like hair in assorted colors (purple, etc.). It also has a very round tummy and when you squeeze the tummy it squeaks. This toy may also have assorted outfits or maybe just a couple. The last time I saw this toy being sold was at The Block shopping center in Orange, CA (I don't know the name of the store or if it was a sidecart, etc.). PLEASE, PLEASE if you can help locate this toy for me. It is a very special matter that I find this toy and give it to someone very special to me. Thank you so much!
