4x4 MOTORIZED FORD BRONCO - MATTEL - 1982 
In 1983, my parents bought Mr. and my brother on of these. My brothers was a ford Bronco II and mine was a Toyota pick up I believe. Mine has long been gone, but I still have my brothers Ford Bronco II. As I re call there was a play set that we also had but I can't remember anything about it. The trucks and playset was made by Mattel,and the Bronco II is dated 1982. If you could give me any info on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Darren.

ACTION FIGURES - GREEN MONSTER
I want to know the name of a green monster action figure and the TV show or movie it came from, its about 1 foot tall and was out in the early 90s. I have a picture shown here...  http://i16.tinypic.com/2ajtmrn.jpg
ACTION FIGURES FROM 1980's
My buddy recently reminded me of a toy I had when I was a kid growing up in the 1980s. They were action figure type toys and the most distinguishing feature that sticks out in my head is that they had bright orange string that you could hook them on to and they rode could slide down like a zip-line.
AIRPLANES - FOAM GLIDERS
The first set of these I had in the late 70's. They were made of hard, firm, but pliable foam rubber with plastic wheels, not rolling just molded. They launched from a platform via rubber band, and they would soar through the air. The first set I had was a Mig-21 and a T-38 talon. The second set was the early 80's and they were 3 Blue Angels. The platform I believe resembled an aircraft carrier. On both sets, the planes would be pulled back with a rubber band attached, and placed behind a small tab that stuck up through the platform. When you pulled the trigger, the tab would move down, releasing the plane, and the rubber band would slingshot them into the air. Any ideas who made them or what they were called? Or find them? I thought of flying aces or something, but I was more worried about playing with them than remembering what they were called. Thank you for any info you could provide.

ANTIQUE WOODEN MICKEY MOUSE BLOCKS
I was given a set of wooden Mickey Mouse blocks from the years of 1930-1950's. They look similar to an average size cookie cutter. There are 12 in the set. There are 2 red, 3 blue, 2 yellow,  2 pink, and 3 orange. What makes them unique is the shape. The ears, hands, and feet stick out so they are not a perfect block shape. Mickey is wearing a M shirt and they appear to lock together at the feet. Do you know approx. what these are worth? There condition is used but all the pieces are still working. Thank you.

BATTERY POWERED BATTLESHIP
Sometime in the early 60's I got a Christmas present that was a battery powered battleship that was about three feet long, fired white missiles and planes with red tips on them. It had a small, ridged wheel underneath the front of the ship that simulated the ship going up and down in the sea as it moved forward. It also had flags that were strung from the front to the rear of the ship. It was the coolest toy I had. I don't know what it was called or who made it. If you could find a picture of it, that would be great.
BATTERY POWERED CARS WITH CARDS
I vaguely remember in the early seventies having a battery powered car that had a set of cards with it, each with a different pattern. You would stick one of the cards in and the car would move in that pattern, but I can't seem to recall any more than that.
BATTERY POWERED SPACE SHIP
In the late 70s I had a battery powered spaceship.  It was white and had red lights when the fire button was pushed.   What made this unique was the fact that it would sound like it was going higher if you tilted the nose to the ceiling or landing when pointed to the ground.  I believe there were 2 parts to the ship and the nose could be removed (not sure about this.) I don't remember anything else about the name or maker.

When I was younger I lived in Berlin(I'm only 16 now) and I had this toy that I loved, but now my mother has thrown it away and I would like to find it again(a new one is fine). It was a little plastic bear about the size of your hand that had scented fur and a little bottle.  It would cry when it was hungry so that you could 'feed' it by pressing the bottle into a hole in its mouth.  Any idea what this toy is and where I can get one?
BELT BUCKLE CAP GUN - MATTEL
I'm wondering where I could find a Mattel's Cap Gun Belt buckle that was made in the 50's.  It was on a belt and when you would push out your stomach, the small cap gun would come out and shoot a plastic bullet.  I'd like to find one in mint condition for purchase.

BOXING GAME - SEARS
I just picked up a vintage sears big toy box boxing game. I cant find a date anywhere on the box or the boxers themselves. There are two boxers with push button controls just like Rock'em Sock'em robots but they are human characters. In the push button stands there is a punch counter and after you get hit 20 times your boxer gets ko'd and falls backward with a platform release mechanism. It was real neat and I am a bit of a toy collector myself and I'm 47 but I don't remember this game? Any help on year rarity or possible value would be greatly appreciated and stored in my toy memory bank indefinitely!! Thanks in advance. Keith.
BOY DOLL - 1980's
I remember a boy doll that could be from between 1984-1988 that had a cloth body and a plastic head with I suppose plastic brown, curly hair and freckles. I have been trying to find one on the internet and in doll museums but have not been able to find another. Do you know what it is called, and if there might be any more to buy? I'd really like to find one for my brother who has Alzheimer's, and saw a picture of one and wanted one from the store which I think is nearly impossible. Thank you for any help you can give me.

BROWN STUFFED LOP BUNNY - LATE 1980S  - EARLY OR MID 1990S
When I was little (early 80s to mid 90s) I had a stuffed brown lop bunny (fondly named Skippy Bunny) One day he was left on the school bus, never to be seen again. I was heartbroken and to this day still keep my eye out for one. I look randomly on eBay too. The bunny was maybe a foot and half long or so, long medium brown floppy ears and body, creamy color underneath. He was in a laying down position, sort of sprawled out, the ears went out to the side. I believe he also had a creamy tail that was a ball, not a fluff. I think he had whiskers but I'm not 100% sure, I'm going from a very old memory. I would LOVE to track down and repurchase another one. Thanks for your help!

CAR - BIGFOOT TRUCK 
I was looking for a Bigfoot toy truck I used to have when I was a kid in the late 80's after 87 or so. it was a little bigger than hot wheels and I'm pretty sure it had changeable tires, to make it a monster truck. I know it had a flag somewhere on it possibly near or around the truck bed because I know mine broke off. I'm pretty sure the tires were rubber and not plastic and it was based on the 2nd or 3rd Bigfoot truck. The one that had Bigfoot on the side in big block letters. Please Help if you can find this car.

CHOCOLATE FOOTED LION
Six months before my daughter's birth, I received a blue & pink stuffed lion with chocolate colored feet.  After her birth, Leo became her constant companion.  She took him to kindergarten each day.  She even took him with her one to college.  Over the years, and after many washings, Leo's "fur" is nearly worn out.  Where would I find the same kind of fabric to rebuild him to his former majesty?  I would like to surprise my daughter.  Thank you.

COLOR CHANGING DIAPER KITTENS AND BUNNIES
During the late 1980's or early 1990's I had these toys, there was a mom, either a cat or a rabbit, I think maybe a dog to, who came with a little tied up baby blanket so you didn't know how many babies you were getting until you opened it, and all the babies had white diapers but when you put them into cold water the diaper either turned blue or pink and to turn them white again you put them in warm water.
CONVEYER BELT GAME
I had a game in the early '70s.  It was colorful innerworkings and gears encased in clear, hard plastic, and stood maybe a foot high, or so.  When you turned a crank on the side, a 'conveyer belt' of sorts would revolve around, and colorful plastic pieces would go by at the top.  These pieces, when you collected enough of them off the belt, each formed things, sort of like a puzzle.  I distinctly remember one of the things it formed was made of the green plastic pieces, and it was a green square-headed monster, like a Frankenstein, kind of.  Then there was a large piece of paper that had the outline of the pieces drawn on it, and you put the pieces on there, on the corresponding place where it was drawn, arranging them on the paper to form the 'things,' the square-headed monster being one of them.  I would like the name of the game, so I can track it down.  Thank you for any help.

DISNEY PRINCESS COLLECTION
I received a gift in the early to mid 1990s of a set of the Disney princess dolls complete in one box with brushes and perfume and am wondering what they might be worth today.  I cannot find any similar sets anywhere.  They are approx. 6" tall with a stand and moveable limbs and are all wearing shiny pastel dresses.  They are out of box but have been kept on display and not played with.
DOGFIGHT GAME
I had a game in the mid-late 70's. There were two World War One planes on either end, sitting atop a ball bearing shooting gun. The whole thing but the handles for the guns were encased in a plastic cover. Each plane had a target hanging down from each wing. These targets were powered by rubber bands. So, when your targets got shot out from underneath you, the rubber bands would release, your plane would nose over and cover your gun so you couldn't shoot,  and you lost. When I had this, my father and uncles played it more than I! I would love to know what this was so I can find it and actually get some playing time! Thank you Dr.
DOLL

DOLL
I had a doll from the late 60's or early 70's that had blonde hair, wore I believe a red velvet dress and sat at a table and would serve tea in a little yellow plastic tea kettle ant then serve cookies or whatever you would put on her little yellow plate. She would hold the tea kettle in one hand and turn toward one side to serve the tea and the plate would be in the other hand that she would then turn to the other side to serve a food item. I thought her name was Baby Tea & Krimpets but I am not sure.  What was the name of this doll and who made her (Ideal, Hasbro, Mattel, etc.?)

DOLL - HALF MONKEY HALF ELEPHANT
I've had this doll for 18 years, since I was about 2.  I believe she (I decided it was a she when I was 4years old... haha) was new when I got her. She is 12” tall. The head is like an elephant (trunk goes straight up, with big ears) and the body is like a monkey (6” long arms with 3” legs. no tail) her face, hands, feet and a 2" stripe on her stomach are tan and the rest of her body is blue. My mom said she was a monkey, elephant mix and my sister had one that was two animals mixed as well(NOT one of The Wuzzles)…I was wondering, what kind of doll is she? I’ve been looking on the web and I can’t find anything that looks remotely the same. If you have any clue what stuffed animal she might be that would be great…thank you

DOLL IDENTIFICATION
In the late 60's, early to mid 70's, I had a doll that was no bigger than 6 inches tall.  It came with a plastic base with several rides.  One ride was a bicycle that went around the base when you turned the handle.  The doll was separate and could ride all the rides.
DOLL IDENTIFICATION
I can't remember the exact date but was between 1964 and the mid 1970s.  It was a baby doll that came with a hard plastic crib.  The doll had metal on the back of it's shoes that when it touched the metal in the crib, the baby would move.  I remember the crib as being blue with an on/off switch.  The doll, from the best of my recollection had short blond hair.

DOLLS - SKATING
I am looking for a toy, which I don't know the name. But I can describe it because I had it when I was a child. It was a ice skating ring with little dolls. You could put them on roller-skates or on ice-skates. Then it has some thing that you can spin, so that the dolls start to skate all together. The dolls stay on this skating ring by magnets under their feet. They are all colored hard plastic dolls with colored hair. I hope you know what I mean and that you can give me the name of this. greetings!

RARE MATCHBOX SERIES - LATE 1980's
In the late 80's (around the same time that Go-Bots were on store's shelves) there was a series of Matchbox? vehicles (mainly vans with oversized tires) that had "fold-up aliens" that could be hidden within the body of the vehicle.  The entire top section lifted off of the base/tires and you could fold the alien up on itself to make it fit inside.  I owned one that was a gray van with a green snake-like alien that went inside.  The "arms" of the alien were chromed, and hung out side of the wheel wells to look like weapons.  I believe there were three or four different vehicle types with aliens of different styles and colors that went with them.  Do you have any idea what the name of this series was?  I thought the were called "Pretenders", or something to that effect, but that is a different series of toys (in the vein of Transformers).  Thanks for any assistance you can provide!   - Adam

ROCKS TURN INTO GEMS
I was just watching a movie and there was something in it that reminded me of a toy I used to play with when I was younger, during the 90s. I forgot what they were called, and I'd really like to find out. They were fake plastic gems that were covered in some sort of substance that made them appear rock-like and once you shook the "rocks" in a tumbler with water, they turned into gems. I remember them in commercials on TV and they had lots of different colored gems that resulted from shaking the rocks in water. I just wanted to find out what they were called and appreciate your help very much! Thank you!

SEA SEARCHERS?? - UNDERSEA ADVENTURE SET - LATE 1970's
I'm looking for a playset from the late 70's.  The play set had a long boat that had a brown hull and white deck,  The sticker on the side of the boat said Sea Searcher II.  There was an orange plastic crane at the back of the boat that was used to lower a shark cage into the water.  The boat could float on water, but it also had indents in the bottom of it so it could rest on an artificial bluish-green rock base.  The set came with two or three divers/crew members (approximately 2-3 inches tall) in yellow suits and also came with a little crawler/submarine type vehicle that was orange.  I think it came with a treasure chest as well.  Lastly, it came with a white and blue rubber octopus and a white and blue rubber shark.  I have a picture of this set, but I don't know who made it or the official name for it.  I'll scan a picture of it soon and post it on my site at http://www.luciferblack.com

I bought it at a Wal-Mart right after Valentines day but have never seen them there since. I would desperately love to find another one because I am afraid with frequent washings "wormy" isn't going to live much longer. Can you help

STUFFED ANIMAL - MOUSE /CAT HEAD ATTACHED TO TEETHING RING - MUSICAL
Upon my birth in 1981, my grandmother purchased in the hospital gift shop in Indiana a stuffed animal head, which we were never able to definitively identify (we think it was a cat or mouse, based on whiskers). It was a grey ovular head shape, with iron-on transfer-like eyes, whiskers, mouth. It was attached to a teething-type ring by a 1/4in wide strap of polyester, and was a wind-up musical toy, which to the best of my memory played "This Old Man" in a somewhat strange arrangement. I am desperate to find another, as mine was lost during a move. Just one of those things you want to keep . . . any help appreciated!!!
STUFFED ANIMAL - PINK LAMB WITH ORANGE EYES

It also has the old style hard eyes and nose, and I think it used to have a tongue sticking out. Any help would be appreciated.

TINKER TOYS
I saw your page on the net about your construction toys exhibit.  Please pass this on to whoever might know the answer to my questions below:  It's about TINKER TOYS: In the 1950s, there was a RIVAL (competing) company who sold a "Tinker Toy"-like "clone" toy.  But whereas the original TINKER TOYS had COLORED sticks and plain wooden-colored wheels (etc.), these RIVAL "Tinker Toys" had plain wooden-colored sticks with COLORED wheels (etc., including orange BALLS with multiple holes in them that Tinker Toys didn't have back then).  Like Tinker Toys back then, everything was made of wood.  The sticks were also slightly LONGER than "Tinker Toy" sticks, maybe based on a METRIC system of measurement?, and so maybe NOT being an American-based company?  I still have a few parts from this rival "Tinker Toy" set. Can you tell me any more about them and who made them, etc. etc. etc.? If you don't know, maybe you know of someone you can forward this e-mail to, and/or let me know THEIR e-mail address? Please let me know.  It's been a mystery I've been curious about to me since my childhood in the 50s. Thanks. Dan

TRANSFORMING MILITARY TOYS - MID 1980's
I just checked out your wonderful site and was wondering if you could help me with the name of a military toy line from the mid to late 1980s.  From what I remember, the line consisted of several military vehicles and weapons which would open up to reveal small playsets for small figurines.  I remember that there was a small green grenade that opened to reveal a dune buggy and a humvee/jeep which opened up to reveal gun turrets.  I think there was a rifle which opened up into a command base, too.  The small figurines that came with the line resembled small army men.  There were two different colored armies.  One army was colored tan or light brown with olive green trim.  The other army was black with red trim.  You could buy sets of the armies on blister cards.  The only other detail that I remember is that the word "gear" appeared in the toy line's name somewhere.  If you could help me find the name of this toy line, I would greatly appreciate it.

I purchase a Wonder Horse at a thrift shop, which is made of some sort of rubber and when he rocks back and forth his front and hind legs move. He is marked Wonder Horse on each side of the saddle and branded WH on the back end. I was wondering what year this was made in and if the Wonder Company made it.Seems like I can't find anything on this and everyone I have talk to never has seen one made like this.
