AMAZING site for identifying your transformers, just type in colour, what it transforms into...simple! I LOVE IT!! - This Old Toy - (report)
This give a pretty good listing of toys made and sold by Fischer-Price from the early 70's on. One of the pics to the right shows an old movie viewer with a cartridge for Sesame Street "Numbers" and another for Walt Disney's "Lonesome Ghosts". This was a really fun toy and also educational because you could view animation frame-by-frame to see how the movements of the characters changed. - Retro Whiz - (report)

This is a Sky Raider
I was wrong. In the first picture is a Sky Commander action figure.
Hello! Im not sure if anyone remembers this but i think it was a Burger King Game. or Build a Burger. In the center was a burger you put the menus and you had to make the whole order within a timer. It came with tray, fries, shakes, or drinks, and you actually built a burger out of fake meat patties, lettuce, etc...
Anyone remember this? My sister and I played for HOURS!
was the Truckapillar from the movie Big a real toy?
its burgertime isnt it?
i believe that the orange little guy is a snuggle bumm
That is so funny, I was going to submit a picture of the same toy...but mine is pink. I know its not care bear or popple related. It has a space for batteries and I seem to remember it glowing when you squeezed it. Come on...someone has to know..
Yes the little orange guy is a Snuggle Bum, was like a fat troll, when you shake it its hair sticks up and goes fluffy! ;0) Brilliant x
She is indeed a Snugglebumm. The range was produced by Playskool in the 1980s. The Snugglebumm pictured is called 'Warmly', she is one of 9 baby Snugglebumms. The others being - Shyly, Cutely, Fondly, Dearly, Glady, Happily, Lightly & Spritely. (Dearly & Lightly exclusive to Germany) The babies 'giggled' when shook. There were three adults available - Papa Gently, Mama Brightly & Princess Snugglina. Mama & Papa lighted up when 'hugged' and Princess had very long hair.
There was also a range of Snugglebumm pets such as caterpilla and butterfly type creatures and a dinosaur 'Tuggles' who pulled the Snugglebumm carriage.
Hope that helps some people out!

I am tryin to remember what the toy was called , that had a small doll that had a very long wide dress, that covered a dome shaped dollhouse . It was from around 1982-1986
Hi the burger game was called build a better burger I was so jealous of my friend who had this game and she would never want to play it! I have submitted a picture and it is available on E Bay.
I used to have a plastic toy snap-construction set in the early 1980's with several parts, but the most distinctive part of the set was a piece rather like a dodecahedron or icosahedron. There were also white notched beams, small black connectors, wheels, and blue panels. The notched beams and black connectors would snap into the dodecahedron-shaped pieces. Does anyone know what this is?
There was an electronic toy gun, probably eight-inches to a foot long, with a sliding lever that made five different sounds, and a blinking light where the eyesight would be. The gun was black, with a red muzzle. Anyone remember? I thought that it was called the sonic blaster, but I can't find it anywhere.
This one I only remember a little bit - I never owned one or used it - only remember seeing the commercials, and also seeing it at ToysRUs. It might even belong in the 1970's. It was a yellow, blimp-like electronic toy, possibly called the bomb. It wasn't thrown around, I think that the sounds that the game made determined the pace of the game. It may have been made by Milton Bradley.
I think you're talking about "Hot Looks" dolls by Mattel. I loved these dolls! they had Chelsea from London, Stacy from America, Mimi from France, and 2 others...can't remember their names though. I believe they came out in the mid 80s but didn't last long on the market. they were my favorite dolls growing up though.
Hey i was wondering about a toy i had as a kid. There were a lot of them. They were little figers on wheels. I remeber a cheif and dog and a bug and a guy with bigs hands. I would love to know there names so i can buy on Ebay or somthing thanks.
There was this one toy, it was the rage when I was in grade school, around 1995 or so... They were metal tops that looked like sawblades... You wound them up on a little device and set them against your friends tops in a plastic arena... any ideas? It has been driving me crazy for three years... They have ones like them now called bayblades, but they are nowhere near as cool...
i LOVED my Huggabunch!!! i had the red head with the shiny green clothes. my lil sis had a blonde one. and remember the little babies they came with. they were bald with a tiny tuft of hair on the top that matched the big huggabunch. fun times!
hey there everyone,i was curious about a peticular action figure that came out in the early 80's.. like before 85 sometime,and didnt seem to last for very long.. i'll describe it,but bear with me,its been a loong while.. lets see.. it was around, give er take, 'he-man' sized..and the main thing i can remember about it is that it had some kind of hollowed out torso that had a sort of 'skeleton' frame in the torso,covered with a type of rubber/latex 'skin' over the plastic 'skeleton' innards.. and when a button of some knd was pressed,the 'skin' would be sucked into the hollowed torso area,(over the 'skeleton' underneath) and the figure would look all emaciated,... i hope someone out there can help me find out who this dude was! and where i could possibly find one/some!...thanks again everyone..
i dunno if this helps, but i bought that figure at a store called 'BEST products'.. in the 80's.. hehe
There's was Stacy from Japan and Zizi from Zimbabwe. Then the newer Hot Looks dolls were Starr from Australia, Steff from America, Shawna from London, and Sachi from Japan.
I had Chelsea that my mother got me fir Christmas one year. I can take some pictures and up load them to here.
The last toy is a Mutor called a Redwood. The first toy I think is the Vehicle Voltron and the second to last one is a blank because I don't know what the hell that is.
i thought it was a voltron but it is not that is much differnet, thanks though. anyone else?
Not a toy but a game...I've been trying to find it all day. Here goes: it was a card game where you could put a drink, dinner and side/dessert together...some of the food was 'bad' ie a plate of mud or a cup of sludge. I can't remember the name.
Also, did anyone else have the cool food transformers from McD's and the food commandos?
TRANSFORMERS!!
im looking for a stuffed animal that was a mouse about 20 inches tall, long tail, white chest, gray body, pink inside the ears, nose that lit up when moved, squeaking noise activated by turning the lights on and off. ive been looking for one for abour 3 years now. i got it when i was abour 3 or 4, somewhere in 1986-87. i called him mousy. he had a zipper on his back where the battery pack was kept in. if anyone know what im talking about or where to find one, please feel free to email me fawnner1@yahoo.com
dave the slave....my sis and i were trying to locate toys from our childhood, and i ran across a see-though guy. i don't think it's what you're looking for, but just in case....his name is "pulsar". his torso is clear, but you can see his organs through it. it didn't look like you could see bone though. maybe it was part of the series??? there's one on ebay you can look at. anywho...just passing that along.
Trying to find a very bizarre toy we used to have but have no idea of the name. It was a very short doll with an extremely large head -well out of proportion with the body. If you pulled the head, it pulled up on a string. As the head returned to the body, it made 3 comments: "I'm falling apart", "Whoops here comes by body" and "I lost my head over you". Does anyone remember this doll or know it's name?
I remeber a toy i played with with my cousin, it was like a lite-brite but it sat horizontal and you had little plastic tubes and different shaped things that were clearish-green, and you stacked them on the lite-brite thing and they glowed or lit up and you could make towers and stuff, anyone know what im talking about?
I recall a "construction" set I had as a boy in the mid- to late 80s, perhaps the very early 90s. Essentially you built up a building out of plastic I-beams, support columns, and foundation "feet," then hung little panels here and there to simulate the walls and windows. Finally, you'd rig the bottom parts up with a pneumatic "thing" (that's where my memory is foggy), and hit a plunger. Thus, you'd blow up the building--that was the whole point of the set. I can recall several different sets, now that I think of it, all around the same theme. One of them might have been a radio tower or something--I can remember red and white transmission towers that you'd place on top. I can't remember the name of this toy, and it's driving me up the wall!
I had this pogo ball but mine had like a pig monster face on the top ball. I've found no images of this anywhere. I know they existed. There were other monster faces too.
Can anyone tell me the name of this toy. It might be late 1970s or early 80's. There were these little play people and they shuffled along, I think i had a playground set with a big slide that they shuffled down?
Hello y'all. I have a question. There are two toys that I am trying to remember the name of them in hopes that I would find them on eBay.
Ok, first toy, they are a bunch of (hard rubber/vinyl)little babies with different body language (standing, sitting, laying down, waving, etc) and they all smell like baby powder. They are about 2 to 3 inches tall. They have this loop on the top of their head that you can wear like a necklace. Oh also, they all come with their own card, I am not sure if they have their own name or number. I am guess there were like 50 different of them or so. I was thinking of the name Caboodles, but that the makeup box or whatever. For the life of me I cannot remember the name.
Toy number 2, this may be a toughie. They are about 3 inches tall, made out of hard plastic, but they have hair. Each of these individuals have their own wild hair color. Blue, Neon Yellow, Pink, Green, Purple, and Orange. On their shirt, they have their own logo like ice cream, hamburger, cake, etc. They are more like a funky little toy. A curly green hair with yellow shirt and blue pants. Real tiny and small. I don't remember if they have a name for it. All I can say is that those two toys were definitely in the 80s! I just cannot remember the names. So I am hoping that some of you out there will know the name of one or both toys that I had mentioned. Thank you for your time and hopefully will hear from one of you that knows! :)
Ok, I found out the name of toy number one....the babies that I was asking about is called "Oodles"!!! I knew that there was oodles in the word, but for the life of me I don't know why I had thought of caboodles LOL. Ok, I am stuck on toy number 2.
I think I found out the name of the second toy that I was referring to early. Little Wee Wild Things. The description matched with what I was talking about. If only I could get a picture of the complete set. I absolutely love the 80s toys. I honestly think the toys in that decade was the best of all times. Even many toys are coming back like My Little Pony and Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake. Although it's not the same LOL. Anyway, enjoy!
Just posting a comment to go with the picture I posted- It was a yellow and red doll, some kind of robot or alien or both. 85-86 or so. The heart on it's chest pulled aside and I think you could press buttons underneath so that it talked/made noise. See my picture.
There was a toy that was late '80s, but maybe early '90s. It was, if I remember correctly, shaped sort of like a submarine with one side being neon pink and the other side being neon green. On the bottom of the toy was a black plastic hook. It came with a hobermansphere-like ball that you sat on the ground. It also had a string that you hooked one end of to something (door handle/knob, etc) and held the other end which had a handle. You sat the neon sub-thing on the string using two small pulleys that were in it. Lifting the end of the string that you were holding, the sub slid down to the other end. The object of the thing was to try to hook the hoberman-like ball with the hook on the bottom of the sub. I have searched but haven't been able to find the name of this toy. Any ideas ?
Luke, I belive that you are refering to Spin-jas. As I recall some of the tops were shaped like little ninjas and others were shaped like sawblades. Of course, there were several other almost identical toys around the same time, so it might be one of them.
I have been trying to find this one stuffed dog that I used to have. I simply called him Ruff Ruff. He was brown with short legs. You pressed his darker brown nose and he barked. His bark was two together and then three together and then repeated. like: "ruff,ruff... ruff,ruff,ruff". Please email me at blinkey5@yahoo.com. It's been almost impossible for me to find since this is all I know about it. Thanks!!
Another toy I've been looking for was one that had sort of a movie slideshow. It was narrow at one end where the batteries went and had a place to put a cartridge in. The other end was round and larger where the projector part was. Unfortunately we left the batteries in for way too long after they went dead and they leaked. If you know anything please email me at blinkey5@yahoo.com. Thanks!!
I'm looking for the name of a toy that was based on the old woman who lived in a shoe story. It was a big shoe house which opened up down the middle, and had heaps of cool furniture and stuff inside. I would pay big $$ for one on ebay, if only i knew what to search for!!
FOR LORI.....I had the doll you were talking about. The doll was over a foot tall with a plastic head and fabric body...Thay were called "HOT LOOKS." I believe there were 4. My doll was Stacey and I can't remember the other names but I think there was a: red, black, brunette and blonde headed doll. They sold seperate high fashion clothing & acc. for the dolls. Hope this helps:0
StormDragon.....the robot doll in the pic was called "Stellar." There were two of them a boy and a girl. I only remember Stellar. They played little songs and there velcro opened to reveal little cute robot buttons. Hope this helps:)
The crazy plastic flame guy in the pic above is a Dungeons and Dragon's Flame Elemental from the original 80's release.
I'm looking for an educational toy I had in the early 80s. It consisted of a yellow plastic suitcase-like box, and a number of different colored key-shaped pieces that each had a different word on them. You could hook the key pieces together to make a sentence and then place them on a track on the side of the yellow box, pull a string, and the key pieces were run through from one end of the box to the other. The box would say the word as each key piece fell off the end of the box, thus saying the entire sentence you constructed. I hope that's clear! I can't remember the name of the toy. Any clues?
I had a doll in the 80's that had a dress on kind ogf like holly hobby and when you flipped her upside down she would have a night gown on and once you flip her again, she would be wearing a regular outfit. Can anybodyy tell me her name or maybe if she was a holly hobby?
I'm looking for the name of the stuffed dog with the posable upper lip. you could make him growl or you could flip his lip down to make him happy. You could also move his ears. He came out around the same time as the "my pet monster" im pretty sure. anyone who could help me find out the same of this toy would be greatly appreciated. thanks! please email: 2furey@gmail.com
The dog with the upper lip that you could flip up was called "pooch patrol" :)
I had this make up set that looked like crayons you could them in a kit or in singles. i think you could buy them in the toy store back then also i remember perfume maker where you could create your own sent.
In the above statement does anyone remember the name of the 2 items i mention.
I am trying to remember the name of these plastic dolls that were about three inches and you popped or clicked the plastic clothes to the front of them... I guess they were backless, but they had long ponytails and some sort of hair... any ideas?
Annie...i think you're talking about "Knickerbocker Dolly Pops." they came is different sets with different scenes. i just looked them up on ebay, and there are a couple of sets for sell right now. so far, they're pretty cheap, too. hope this is what you're looking for. :)
To Jessica who asked about the educational toy - this was a variety of See n' Say - the Sentance Maker! I loved it. It was for sale in 1980-81 and came with a basic set of word tiles. You snapped the word tiles together and fed them into one end of the main box. You pulled the string and the box slowly pulled the entire sentance through and 'read' it in a very droning voice. Think it was a lot like the farmer's voice in the farm See n' Say. I had one of these and loved it to death (literally, it no longer exists).
A great toy in my opinion!
The yellow guy with the heart is "robot man" He was in a movie, I dont know the year but it was 80's. does hey play music when you press his stomic?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLu9NvldAaM
the yellow fuzzy thing that makes noises is a "snugglebumms"
Mercedes, I had those little ones you're talking about. With the little ring on top their heads! They could be necklaces and I also had two that snapped onto some sunglasses! They had a little hole in the bottom. Mine smelled like something sweet, but I think it was something other than powder. Yay! I was trying to figure out what the heck they were! Thank you! Also, had a lot of Sea Wees!!:o)
What was the little thing you took outside and it was red with a bicycle seat, but no bike. Just handlebars which you put your feet on and rocked it back and forth to make it go forward!!??
To 80sLvr: those "non-bike" things were called Roller Racers! My cousin had one. They were awesome!
the large picture of the action figure doll in the white red jumpsut and heklmet is rick hunter from robotech.
the tree is from a sunday morning carttoon where the main characters fought in the belly of the earth. there were rocks tht turned into men the trees could extend upward , there was a magma type person who had a outer shell and when removed it looked to be inflamed. if you shone a light down in a green peice of plastic it caused there eyes and moutht o light up i do not recall the name of the show but there were three gianmt inhuman monsters as well one was a grene tentacled thing the other was a skeletal thing that could trap peoplein its rib cage and the fthrid ic an not remeber... the srock people were good guys.
The ape looking thing I believe may be from a series of toys the were a spin off of Dino Riders. I think it was called Ice Age or something to that effect.
I need help trying to locate the name of a toy of the 80's. They were a whole set of characters that were round rubber balls for the head. They had different faces painted on and were various colors. The body's were solid shapes that had a boweled top for the ball to sit in. You could interchange the heads. They had all kinds of people and even cats and dogs. Need help finding out their names. kelsiecurtis@yahoo.com
I'm trying to find out the name of a certain bear. He had a clear plastic dome for a nose, with a flat disc that span when you pressed his tummy repeatedly. Does it sound familiar? Mine was a purple bear....
hi Adie
there called nosey bears
The red and yellow soft toy who played music was called Robotman, or My Robotman, I think? I had him! He had a girlfriend too who was pink and white.
The transformer-like robot is a Multi-Force 14.
Does anyone remember plastic pose able dolls with metallic skin, and colorful hair? they were a few inches shorter than Barbie. I don't know if they were supposed to be robots, or aliens? if anyone remembers their names or has a picture I will be greatful.
Lindsay...i think the rubber monster hand puppets you're looking for a called "Boglins." i think they came in boxes that looked like broken jail cells. Evangeline...i think the dolls you're looking for are "Spectra Dolls." they were very futuistic looking and came in several different colors.
so I am looking for this toy...maybe from the 80's its a plastic football looking thing on strings and then you and another person on the other end, pull the stings apart and it shoots to the other person..then they pull the strings apart and it goes to the other person... would you know what I am talking about :)
i'm looking for the name of this toy & i just can't seem to find it! does anyone know the name of the toy where it's like a nailbed & you could put your hand of face in it & then the shape of your hand would turn up on the other side??
Hi everyone! The toy I'm looking for was from the 80's and it was a movie projector, record player thingy. You could buy small records with this little plastic cartridge that had images on it. You inserted the cartridge into the toy, and as the record would beep then you would advance to the next frame (or maybe it advanced itself?) You could project the images on the wall, or you could switch it over to project on a small glass television like opening which was on the front of the record player. It was box shaped. It had to be early 80's maybe even late 70's.
hey-i was wondering if anybody happens to remember some dolls that came out only for a short bit. They were half animal half human-remember having a half fawn one and a half butterfly. They also came with a baby (aka-a mini-version of the big one-sold in a set).Been searching everywhere with no luck...
I remember a stuffed animal from my childhood. It was a chubby little creature, I think he had a shirt and hood on. His face was flat, and his eyes and nose were like Christmas lights, but with a rounder tip. Operated by 9v battery? Anyone remember?
Hey just wanted to update, I found what I needed!! It was called Show 'N Tell Phono Viewer, made in 1983 by Child Guidance. Thanks to anyone who was looking into it for me!
Eavangeline, I have been trying to figure out the name of those colorful metallic dolls for years. My sister and I had the pink and purple dolls but I canot find them now. Good Luck!
I can't figure out the name of this toy. It was a stuffed thing that had a pouch that you could put over it and make it into a large furry ball. It starts with an S.They were different colors. It had a tail.
POPPLES!! I found them
Eavangeline and Portia.......you're looking for "Spectra Dolls." i i found one for sell on ebay new in box. just type in "spectra doll" in the search engine, and you'll see several.
Maria....i don't remember what the nailbed toy is called, but you can still get them at most toy stores. they come in a variety of sizes and colors these days. they're usually located around the playdoh or puzzle section.
Stefanie, I think you're thinking of Popples - they had a pouch you could flip around their back and they turn into a ball. I had a bunch of them. :)
Spottedfeather - I know exactly what you're talking about, I spent my entire allowance on one of those! It moved on a string and it was almost a "boomerang" type toy. UGH - it's going to drive me NUTS now!
Can anyone help me identify some dolls that I had as a child? There are two types I am looking to figure out. Both are fashion sized dolls. The one set each have curly reddish brown hair and came wearing pink princess dresses. The other set of dolls were either princesses or ballerinas. One had red hair and the other had black hair. They also came with lingerie. I wish I had more of a description. I'd be happy to photograph what I have if anyone is interested in helping me. The dolls also have bendable legs if that helps and are from the mid 1980s. Thank you so much!
Still no info on the item I was wondering about?
its a plastic football looking thing on strings and then you and another person on the other end, pull the stings apart and it shoots to the other person..then they pull the strings apart and it goes to the other person... would you know what I am talking about :)
Hi Elle, The chubby creature with the hooded cloak and light up nose was called a Chubble, when looking them up use Chubbles. Good Luck
Not sure if anyone will remember there. I remember buying them at the checkout area in kmarts and similar stores. It had a fold out comic like background picture, and there was another sheet that had numerous pictures of people, animals, characters etc that you would place on the sheet where you wanted a particular character and use a pencil to draw or scrible on the back of it and it would make it stay on the sheet. kinda peeled off like fake tattoos do. If anyone knows, i would be eternally greatful!
The figure wearing the jumpsuit with the helmet is either a veritech pilot from Robotech, or Rick Hunter, one of the main characters from Robotech.
Sorry, this has nothing to do with those pictures. It's about an incredible toy line that somehow was bypassed by this site. In fact, there isn't even a letter for it. They're called Xpanders. The were vechicles that expanded (hence the clever name) and become these battle station/bases complete with a bunch of little soldiers. The white/cream ones were good, and the black ones were bad. They were the coolest. Anyone else remember these? Please add them to the site.
Mercedes - I think you might be talking about 'charmkins'. They smelled really good and used to connect to rings and jewelry and stuff.
Sara - the bear you were looking for is a 'nosy bear'. I still have a blue one!
Hope this helps!
Brenda, I'm pretty sure you're thinking about Madballs. They came out originally with just the rubber balls with ugly faces on them. Then later, they came out with Head-Popping Madballs. These had the rubber ball-heads that sat in bowl-like depressions in little plastic bodies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madballs
im looking for the name of these barbies i use to have. they had metallic color skin, like metallic pink and blue and green. and they had matching colored hair. i think they were electra dolls or something like that. there joints were bendable too, but they were just like barbie in size...any help here of what they might have been called or where they came from ??
I am trying to remember what a toy was called i had, i remember there was an ice skating rink and you could put i think a key with a magnet on it under the toy and the little girl figure would ice skate around where ever you moved the key...there were other "places" as well but i cant remeber for the life of me what Im thinking of. Any ideas? thanks!
Suthy.....man...lots of people are looking for these right now! :) they are called "Spectra Dolls." you can usually find a few on ebay.
I've got in mind what I think is a particularly hard toy to find. I'm trying to remember the name for a series of toys that was out in the late 80s, early 90s (I can't remember which). Each toy was a plastic or vinyl ball with a hole in it. It came with a smaller "peg" piece that would be inserted into the hole. You would then squeeze the larger ball, creating pressure and eventually shooting the "peg" piece out. Each one of these toys looked like a creature or object of some sort. The one I remember clearly was; the larger ball was a shark, and the smaller "peg" was a diver. There may have been one that had an eyeball "peg" too. Also, I vaguely remember the commercial for them, with kids pounding down it with their fist and shooting the peg. I think the name of the toy may have been the made up sound they made when the kids bopped them. DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER THESE THINGS??? HELP!
I got a toy in the early 80's that I can't remember the name of. It was a rubber/plastic King Kong type ape who you had chained back against a wall with yellow plastic chains, which plugged into the toy backing using 2 inch posts. The point of the game was to either keep inserting chains or removing them (I can't remember which), but he broke free if you did them in the wrong order. Does anyone have a clue which toy this was?
Did anyone ever find out what the tiny doll, with the big dress that covered the dome house, was called? I would like to know also.
does anyone remember a bath toy that had a sponge with a mermaid, a baby mermaid, and a seahorse?
Sure, erin, those were called Sea Wees! I am trying to identify a stuffed animal I had when I was little. Its name was Shamel and it was part sheep and part camel. Kinda like the Wuzzle (it MAY have been a Wuzzle) But I haven't found it with any wuzzles...
So there was a board game that involved a Hand Held Terminal and you were supposed to rob banks and crack safes I remember the HHT used to go off and you had to make a dash - anyone remember it\?
there is a robot man there and a transformer -
That tree with the green eyes is an Inhumanoid character, specifically Redsun. He was a Redwood along with a bigger Redlen.
I would give anything to find a Redsun action figure again.
Hi.. Im pretty sure this toy that i had was from the 80's... i was only 7 in 1990 so im not real sure.. I had this blonde haired doll.. and i remember my sister having a brown haired one.. and when you pushed there arms up to the ear i believe.. the hair would grow out of the ponytail.. Does anyone know the name of these so i can find one again?
TO RUTH: I believe the toy you are talking about is known as Swoosh ball. Discount school Supply sells them under this name (But only in groups of 6). Anyway, search for Swooosh Ball and you will find a few different supply stores which sell it. Hope this is what you are looking for.
CHAD - could it possibly have been "Stop, Thief"?
Orange Etch-A-Sketch type toy. There was one multi directional knob (which you could move like a joystick) on the bottom, and it drew in a circle in the top. You could turn the top circle to change the position of the pen. Also, there were little orange stencils about an inch and a half in diameter that you could put around the drawing knob. I believe I received it in 1982 or 1983 and I can't find it anywhere. Also, the toys sat on an incline when you sat it down. Any information would be great. Thanks.
DANGERS - Could you be thinking of Colorforms? They had a cardboard like back, with color forms (clings) that stuck to the board and could be removed and repositioned.
I am looking for a disney toy from the 80s. It was a musical popcorn stand and you would turn it on it would light up, play music, and pop a few balls of popcorn. I believe it had a disney character like goofy or mickey holding the rail of it. Did anyone else have this toy?
I am trying to find the name of a toy I had for a birthday present in 1987 I think. It was a small (fitted in the palm of your hand) plastic pink and white cat. It had a really long purple fluffy tail. The tail came apart into 3 bits and reattached using velcro. If you squeezed the cats tummy its paws opened. This meant you could put the end of the tail inbetween the paws and then wear the cat as either a necklace or a bracelet depending on how many tail pieces you used. I think there were a range of them so you could mix and match colours. It was always my favourite toy. I would love to know if anyone else remembers it and its name so I could try and track one down.

thank you
the toy i am looking for were a series of animals that came in families. Kind of like an animal doll house. They had racoons, beavers, rabbits, etc. They were about 3 inches high????
Is anyone else depressed that all these toys are now called vintage??
Thank You Kathy!! :)
the toys i was looking for were called the sylvanian families. hehe.. they are so cute..
The picture of the baby stuffed into the stroller and the bird stuffed into the cage are Smooshies.
Tiffany, I found the answer to your magnetic skater -- they are Precious Places -- there is a whole list of the ones that were made here: http://www.thisoldtoy.com/L_FP_Set/department-7/o-Precious-Places.html
Does anyone remember the toys that were little dolls hidden in an ice cream sundae, a cookie and a spoon that had a little wrist strap?? Can't find them anywhere!! Sweet something?? Thanks!
Hi, I am wondering if anyone remembers playing with a game that was kinda like pick up stix but it had all kinds of different items for the stix. I don't remember all of the items but I do remember there being crutches in there. I love that game and I cannot remember what it was called.
The doll with the hair the grew out of the ponytail was made in 1987 by playskool. She was called Dolly Surprise. I still have one in the box. I also have the doll whose dress covered her house. I just looked at it trying to figure out what it is called and I could not find a name on it. It was made by knickerbocker in 1979. She has a suitcase that has the letter M on it so, I am guessing her name started with the letter M. I know I also have the cat with the tails that attach with velcro, but I am not sure of the name. I kind of think it was Furr-ever friends or something with Furr in the title. I will try to find it to see what its name is.
Ok this is a little hard to explain but does anyone remeber these........
they were fabric things (just like rubber bands but nylon material)
you would put them over your fingers and braid/plate them into each other. you could make many things with them from braclets to scarves!!
They were in all colours but seemed to mainly come in bright neon colours.
It's really bugging me and because I don't know what they are called they are becoming very hard to find.
We've found these dolls in the attic. They are about six inches tall, Gladiator type, but all females. They've all got skimpy painted on body armor and HEAVY makeup. I can remember playing with these dolls but can't for the life of me remember what the heck they are!
Anyone?
Kathy that orange etch-a- sketch thing.Could it be Spirograph with the circles and the pens and paper? The new ones are nowhere near as good as the 80's ones. I also wanted to mention the metallic dolls-SPECTRA I just put up on ebay if anyone is interested.I learned their name on here ,so thanks.
Chloe Shepard- I remember them too. Did it come with a square loom also.I remember making a potholder and we used to make other things.They might be in an art store.I think they come in a bag of 50 or so.
I am pretty sure that the "female gladiator dolls with the heavy make-up" are Golden Girls and the Guardians of the Gemstones. In the pic you have Golden Girl , Rubee , and Jade. There was one more in the set Onyx.
The picture with the 3 female dolls is from "Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones". It was released in 1985. Hope that helps!
I am trying to think of the name of a toy that was made in the late 70's or early 80's..it was a very tiny little animal in a plastic yellow box that opened..for the life of me I cant think of the name of them.
Sherry- That sounds familiar. Did the box look like a present? Yellow with turquiose ribbon?
Sabrina, I remember those half-human, half-something-else dolls! I had the butterfly with the pink body and blue hair and her baby! And there was a centaur too! They are called Shimmers! http://www.hallelnet.com/von/1987_shimmers.htm
OOPS made a mistake sorry Jessica the other girl isn't Jade, its Sapphire, forgot about her. But you got me nostalgic so I checked..lol.
Ok, I have a hard one. Teensy little koala bears made of plastic. Only the head turned, the bodies were rigid. They came in little plastic houses shaped like a teapot, a television set, a little shop. One of the koalas had a red plastic hat on. Anyone ever seen these things?
hello :) i'm hoping that some kind person might be able to help me... i'm trying to identify two toys that i have only memories of - these may not have been a popular or brand name toy so i realize they might be hard to identify... one was a white ~plastic~ train case/makeup case w/ a light lavender band around the lid and also i think a lavender handle, that inside had a mirror and a white plastic dome light on either side... and i think on the lid there was a face of a girl character with shortish strawberry blondish hair and simple features ...the other toy, i think may have been more popular or made by a more well known company (fisher price, ty, tyco, something like that) ...it was a cream/ivory color plastic jewelry box with a locking center compartment that came with a pink plastic heart shaped key, and had two open shallow trays one on each side. and for some reason i am remembering pearls, like a plastic pearl necklace or something came with it. i hope someone else remembers either of these! thank you so much for taking the time to read my long description :) de
The Picture of the smaller bird w/ cage & Baby with the stroller up there are called Smooshies Hope that helps =)
I would also love to know if anyone found out what the name of the little doll with the big skirt that fits over the domed house? I can't find info on her anywhere, I want to say that her name was Cindy? I'd Love to find her again, its driving me insane not knowing ! Thanks! :)
My sister and I had dolls back in the late 80's that looked sort of like us. I remember they came with lockets with their pictures in them like they were our children. They were probably 12-18 inches. It's hard to say on memory. Any idea if this was a widely-distributed item or just something neat our parents got us. They were definitely not cabbage patch dolls. They had very pretty faces and definitely a locket.
Moonie- are you talking about this? "Moppets secret doll house" Check this site, there is a picture. I don't remember it, but hope it helps.
http://www.oneofakindwis.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/moppets.jpg
Sorry to post again, just wanted to let everyone know the dolls were called "My Child" dolls. It appears they were a cuter doll trying to compete with cabbage patch dolls and unfortunately didn't make it. Also, you had to send away for the lockets, so I'm amazed I had one! :) Look them up, they are adorable. Hope I can find mine now.
Thank You Chandra! That is her, I'd love to find her someday again!
I also remember the doll with the big skirt that fit over the house but i have no idea what it was called. oh and for Annie the dolls with the snap on clothes were called, Dolly Pops. and someone else was asking about the sweet secrets dolls that you could fold the head and arms and legs inside and wear them as a bracelet.
I am looking for the name of a girls toy that was little tiny colorful funny shaped "compacts" that you could attach to a necklace or bracelet or hair clip. In each funky compact was a really tacky colored eyeshadow or lip gloss or blush. Any one know what I am talking about?
I am looking for a toy that I had when I was young- the early 80's It's a yellow plastic toy that you sit on, its got a face with a red nose and a tuft of yarn hair.. I used to call it Jellybean because that's what it was shaped like. If anyone has any information, let me know!
I'm trying to remember the name of a toy I had as a kid in the 80's. It was an action figure, about 10-12 inches tall, I think. It was a two-sided man, one side orange, the other blue (with red eyes, I think). It was supposed to be a prince or something. I remember all the figures in the collection (I only had this one) were all 2-sided as well.
Anybody have any clues???
isn't the first pic a baby mun chi chi?
Sea Wees!!! Yes! Thank you, I remember playing with those so often, my favorite was Frost and Baby Flo (the blue and white one). It also reminded me of Shimmers if anyone remembers Shimmers they were like Sea Wees but some of the girls also had horse bodies and butterfly wings.
Jarvis, are you referring to the picture of the green toy I submitted? If so, do you know more about this? I haven't heard of mun chi chi before!Thanks.
I am trying to remember the name of a toy gun I had in the 80's. It was clear and shot green slime out of a small cartridge that was inserted into the bottom of the gun. When the gun was cocked, it would suck in a small amount of slime into the chamber and shot when the trigger was pulled. Any one?
Im trying to remember the name of a walkman like toy I use to have. You could stick cartages in that would play one or two songs. rock box???
Does "Little Me" dolls sound familiar to anyone? There were three little plastic girls about 3 or 4 inches tall and you could dress them with plastic clothes and add hair to them. One was blonde, one brunette and one red head. I think they came with the names Mallory, Vanessa and something else I can't remember. They were almost like bigger Polly Pockets.
I used to get these cute little toys at the "Everything's $1.00" store. They were fluffy/furry (scented?)and had cat faces and a long velcro tail that you could fasten around your wrist. Ohhh, what were they called?
Kelly8915@aol.com
CHLOE: They were "Hot Loops"!!! Those were awesome! They were all over our house all the time....
I had a town with magnetic keys which you used to move the people down the street. It had houses, buisnesses and a musical gazebo which when turned on the people danced due to a magnetic force field. What was this series of toys called?
theresaclueless@gmail.com
I used to play with She-Ra dolls, but along with those action figures I found some other female warrior type dolls that came with cloaks and metal shields that had various stones in them. they are unmarked and i have no idea who manufactured them. I would have played with them between 85-88. The dolls are a lot tougher looking than she ra. They have warrior paint on their faces, and bright colored hair. They also have wide hips - which is unusual. They were built compared to she ra dolls. If anyone remembers anything I would appreciate it!
I HAD THIS SORT OF POP UP ACTIVITY BOOK THAT HAD SLOTS IN IT THAT YOU PUT PENNIES IN.NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE PENNIES DID.I REMEMBER SOMETHING WITH A POOL AND THE PENNIES CATAPULTING OFF THE DIVING BOARD INTO THE POOL. I THINK, BUT THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!
This is for Michelle in Australia, the question you had about the toy you remember singing the punchinello song to, the one you remember having a material banana skin bed, the toy is called a "Monchichi". You can read more about them at the following webpage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monchhichis
CINDY - omg your the best!!
Finally a name to put to them!!
That was it! Thank you sooo much!
HOPE - sorry late reply - yea thats it, you could make all sorts of things - looks like we have our answer - thanks to Cindy - Hot Loops
Yey!!!
i'm now even more excited.....http://www.guildcraftinc.com/hot-loops-617-201.aspx
this site sells them - it's from america but i'm sure with more searching I will find some where here!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! this has been going on so long is been driving me mad!
Sorry the last comment was meant to say to Cindy posted by me - not posted by Cindy Sorry!!
I am trying to figure out what this toy was. It was in the late 80's and it was a small doll or animal type thing. It was green. I remember calling it choodles and I think that was the name of the toy. It was sound activated and it's face would light up and it would make the most horrible "beoooooooohhhhhhh beoooooooooooh" noise.
I'm looking for a series of toy vehicles that where made. The thing that they all had in common was that they had these little mushroom cap shaped items which would glow when exposed to light after a period of time. One of these vehicles; a smaller delta shaped one which was blue in color had some lights in it, so that when you stuck the mushroom shaped cap into it, it would expose the phosphorescent like glow part to the light, so that it would be glowing when it came out. Upon putting it in one of the other vehicles it would cause them to move until the glow of the little cap faded. They came in a variety of colors, the ones I remember the most being the blue kind of delta shaped one, another large white one which you could either push down on itself to make it a lower vehicle, or twist a knob to unlock it so that it would stand slightly higher. When it is at it's full height you could attach the blue vehicle to it, and carry it along with it as it moved. There was also another orange one which if I recall correctly had a small little rope with hook on the end, so that when charged it could pull things along. They seemed to be little space rover type things. I never knew the name of them when I was younger but I loved those things to death, but have not been able to find ANY information about them in years.
The Fashion Plates equivalent for boys was called "Monster Maker."
Dangrs0ne: The colorforms like thing you are thinking of was called "Presto Magic." I loved those things -- here's a link: http://www.inthe80s.com/toys/prestomagic0.shtml
I totally remember the perfume maker thing that let you create your own perfumes. Basically, you'd soak this car air freshener-like thing in water until it scented the water.
The "magnetic key" toy you asked about is called "Precious Places" and they were made by Fisher Price.
Ooops, that previous comment by "Theresa" was actually from me, but in response to Theresa.
KATE: The yellow riding toy you described -- was it on wheels and had little hand holds sticking out of the sides of it's head/neck? I think I had the same thing back in the late 70s. I always thought it was supposed to be a chicken, but it was fairly nondescript. Don't know what it was called, but for some reason, I called it "Ollie."
Ok, so I found a pic of my mystery toy! I was wrong when I said they were little cats but everything else (the fur and the velcro) was right. Here's the toy: http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/ID/DigitalHorizon_UnknownToys.jpg
"Little Happy Orange fella with orange heart on chest - dated 1984 and makes cute noise when shaken up & down. I thought it might be a friend of Hugga Bunch or Care Bears"
I'm pretty sure that's a Snuggle Bum
The picture of the bird cage from fisher price from 1987. They are called SMOOSHEES. The bird is Perchy Bird, and the baby is called Baby Bonnie! hope this helps!
The fifth picture, the 12in. figure is Rick Hunter from Robotech
I'm looking for a toy that I had when I was in kindergarten, so that would have been either 1988 or 1989. It looked like a cassette tape, and there was a small magnetic board that folded up and I think you press a button or something to make it come out of the bottom. At the top was a door thing that you lifted up, and there were several small magnet like pieces in it. I think it was some sort of game, but I'm not sure. I know they came in several different colors though. The one I had was green, and the board was made to look like a map. One of my friends had a pink one, and the board on it looked like the inside of a mall, I think. I'd love to see if I can find one on ebay, but I don't really know where to begin. I don't remember what exactly it was or what it was called. Is there anybody who knows what I'm talking about who can ID it for me? Thanks!!
The games that looked like a cassette tape were called flip siders. There are pictures and more info of them on this site. I had the mall madness game when I was younger.
I had some little teddy bear like things but I can't remember what they were called. They were about 1-2 inches tall, had beanbag bodies and plastic heads and you could get them as babies, puppies, kitties or bears I think. I can only remember the names of two of mine - Love Puppy, which was a pink dog with a heart on it's belly and covering one eye. And Wish Kitty, which was a yellow and light blue kitty with a star on it's belly. The other one I have is a yellow bear with a blue body that has a night sky picture on it. All three were part of a set I think. I do have a 4th one, which was advertised as a cat but mine has a bears head.
Another toy I remember having is a light green raccon-like figure with long hair and a brush at the end of it's tail. I think it was scented and it's body felt velvety.
If anyone can help, can they e-mail me? kilik4927@lycos.com
Thanks ^.^
Rachel,I think I know the toys you mean. They were all named after precious stones, Ruby had red hair and red stones in her shield, Jade had green hair and green stones, etc etc. Love to know what they were called though!!!
Ah, I was thinking of Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones!!! Off to trawl through ebay now ;-)
I am desperately seeking the name of a toy I had when I was little. It was similar to a Lite-Brite, but instead of punching holes in paper with pegs, you used little plastic tools to punch the light out of holes that were already there on a plastic screen. The tools were different shapes, and there was one with a wheel you could roll along to make pictures. Anyone remember this??
Never mind, I found it. It's Lights Alive!
Does anyone remember a doll, maybe 5in tall, long blonde hair, who came with a golden wand that had a magnet (probably) on the back? She also had a pink birdcage with a golden bird inside, and when you moved the wand over the cage the bird sang.
Sara- I had one of those dolls. They were called Princess Magic Touch. There is more about them on this sight and also on http://members.aol.com/abishort/magic/pmt.htm
KELLY~ I have been searching for the name of this toy for sooo long. Trying to find it led me to this site... I'm so glad I'm not the only one who remembers. I had a white one and it smelled soooo so. Have you had any luck finding the name?
JANNA - Those were Pocket Rockers. You can still find them on eBay. I'm still looking for a name/picture of the makeup that came in funny shaped containers and had detachable clips/bracelets/necklaces that you snap them on and off of. Really bright funky colors. Any ideas???
I'm trying to remember te name of an educational toy I had as a child. It was a two inch thick tablet style learning device with rounded corners. You would insert cartridges, and coresponding flat plastic mats with pictures on them. pictures on the mat coresponded to a set of buttons on the surface of the toy. I remember it asking questions like "can you find the yellow truck?" and "do you see the cat?" I am trying to use it as an example for a class, and I can't remember the name. Any help would be great. Thanks Adam
I am looking for a toy my boyfriend had as a child (late eighties/ early nineties). It was an acture figure maybe 1 or 2 inches tall with magnetic feet. the arms/ legs/ joints are all posable and i believe the one he has is wearing a blue almost military like uniform. Does anyone else remember this toy!!?
Also, Adam N what you are looking for i believe is called geosafari.
I have the same question as DAWN what is the name of the toy truck in the movie BIG reffered to a truckapillar long truck with a hand on the cab and had numurous wheels much lie a caterpiller but with a truck body hense the name truckapillar is that the name of it
ADAM - Are those Speak n Spell, Speak N Read, Speak n Math????? Did it have a handle on the top? Like one was red one was yellow and one blue?
JASON- I think I had the same slime gun, it came with a big plastic sheet with splat shaped targets on it. Circus World toys, man I feel old now. Still trying to remember the name of it...
JASON- Although finding any information about it online is next to impossible, I think it was called the Glooper game. Colorless clear plastic gun,non-refillable cartridges,lousy range.
OK. SO i had this toy I got, probably in about 86-87. It was a stuffed animal cat and she had about 5 or six 8" tail extensions that you could velcro onto each other to make a REALLY LONG TAIL! I think my mom used to buy the tail extensions seperate, too. I am pretty sure there were more animals than just a cat, but I can't find it on here. Help!
nevermind i just found it...furrever friend is what it was called! yay!
I NEED HELP! I remember a few of my friends having these. They were a lion or bear, standing upright, vinyl body I think, that came in a particular neon or normal colour, and the belly or chest was white. They had very curly hair or mane on the head (again a different colour) and wore a little bib or apron. Not sure if they glowed in the dark. Any ideas?
Here's another one: I remember a bath toy that was a red plastic building or other structure with a diving board and a slippery dip (yellow featured somewhere here on this item, either the board or slippery dip) and you had a little man/boy that you'd position on the board and then there was a button you'd push and he'd spring off into the water. Toy may have had suction cups to attach to bath wall. He may have come with a little floatation ring as well. Help me!
Hello, I am looking for someone who can tell me what toys I played with as a child because I want to collect them again but have no idea how they were called and have no picture either. Now they were about the size of star wars figures, the same material, sold on cardbacks in bubbles, but they were like little Barbie and Ken Dolls. I remember I had tens of girls, some had painted on clothes, others had real cloth clothes. I had three guys. They had clothes painted on. There was one blond dude with shorts, a blue sweater and sandals. Then there was a lightbrown haired one, long trausers, no idea about the rest anymore. And the last one had dark brown hair and a tuxedo. They also had this really cool car. Does anyone know what I am looking for? Thank you.
Becky, the pick up sicks game you're talking about sounds like Jack Straws, or at least I think that's what it's called. I remember there being spades and forks and other stuff there too, I don't know how to play it tho.
I used to be able to buy this toy at the front register of FedCo. It was a round, turquoise plastic pendant, about an inch and a half in diameter, with a rhinestone in the center. It could attach to a necklace, or wristband. More importantly, when you opened it up, it had plastic arms, legs and head that could flip out to transform the pendant into a girl. My friend also had a house for them, which was a stereo that would open up, and transform into their house. Any ideas?
The Carriest- You are talking about Sweet Secrets. They just started selling them in stores again. They are a little different than the old version.
Anyone remember these??? They were dolls that were sold individually (both guys and girls) and you could decide which ones you wanted to date each other. I think they came with wedding dresses and tuxes. There were about Barbie size and maybe made by Matel?
I am looking for the name of a doll i had as a small child in the mid-eighties. It may have been a hand me down from the late seventies. Her head was very similar to Peachy and her Puppets...blonde hair, painted-on blue eyes that looked off to the side. She was a chubby little thing with dimples in her knuckles, knees, and elbows and was constructed entirely of vinyl. I though I had found her when I found Peachy and her Puppets except my doll was hollow and had a hole in her mouth where you could feed her a bottle and another hole in the bottom where she could make a wet diaper. She had like ball and socket joints at her shoulder and hips and a very high forehead. I would really appreciate any help on what on earth she was. Thanks guys. -J
MELISSA, no luck yet! Can anyone help us? Here's the pic again:
http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/ID/DigitalHorizon_UnknownToys.jpg
Anyone remember dolls in the 80's -- i think mid 80's -- that were about 5 inches tall and made of rubber with rubber short hair cuts. they had rubber clothes and plastic hats that had "real" hair hanging from the hats. they each came with ballet tutus but you could buy other rubber clothes as well (similar to large polly pockets). there was a red head, blonde and latina doll. they had painted on shoes. I can't seem to find any info on these dolls...
**MEG**, i just read your comment about Little Me dolls after submitting my own comment asking for info on these dolls. i didn't know they were called Little Me but I definitely remember them. I think the red head was Angie. They came with all different rubber clothes. I can't believe someone else remembers them!!
I'm not sure if it's 80's or 90's, but it's a Mickey Mouse doll sort of like Little Miss Makeup. If you put him in cold (I think) water, he'll look dirty. If you put him in hot water, the "dirt" would go away. There was also a Minnie version too.
Does anyone remember fragle rock, and excuse the spelling monchichis? and her self the elf.
Oh yes to Michelle in Austrailia that is a monchichi (spelling) Monchichi, Monchichi so soft and cuddly. sorry thats all I remember.
How about those little bugs w/ the light-up faces? I'm looking for one for my almost-born daughter, but I can't think of the name. Help!
Glow Worms maybe?
Can anyone help identify a doll i had in the early 80s. She was small in a white gown with lace trim and a white hat I think. She came with a plastic log bed that had doors in and i think you got elves or fairies with her. The advert/commercial for her was animated in a wood. Also can anyone remember prayerbears from the early 80s, i think made by Knickerbocker. Any ideas where to find pictures
Thanks. I can't believe I forgot the name!
Need help naming a late 80s doll/stuffed animal Okay this was a stuffed animal (mine was a grey kitty) but the body wasn't soft or squishy it was kind of solid and heavy. It came with a bib and a bottle. The animal's eyes were hard plastic with a little gap at the bottom. When you fed the animal with water from the bottle, the water would come out of their eyes like tears. The name of the toy was on the bib, I think.
The pic for the Fisher Price 1987 toys are called Lil' Stuffers Puffa Lumps. You can find them on Ebay for sale. I used to have a few of them.
Rachael- could you be talking about herself the elf?
To Kathy dated August 2007: The orange etch a sketch toy was called a Sketch A Doodle. I got one for Christmas in the early 1980's. I might even have a picture of it still. It had these plates that you could put in around the joystick mechanism that helped you to make that shape on the round screen. Instead of shaking it you would turn the dial around the face (it was shaped like flower petals) to erase the image. Man, I loved that thing!
I have been looking for a few dolls I had and also a doll stroller. The stroller had two seats and an umbrella on the top. When you pushed it the umbrella would spin and it played music. I got it probably in 1981 or 1982. The oldest doll I got around 1980. It was a girl doll with blonde hair and her tongue would stick out. She came with a sucker and a pink ice cream cone that she could lick. I think her tongue even moved back and forth. I called her licky sugars but that wasn't the name.
The second doll I had was a blonde baby doll. I got her Christmas 1980. You could feed her a bottle and her head would rock back and forth. I used to hold her by the head and watch her body swing back and forth!
The last doll I am trying to find came out around 1980-1982. I think she was called No More Tears. You would give her a bottle with water in it and it would make her cry. In her hand was a handkercheif. On her arm was a lever that you moved back and forth to make her hand move. You could position her hand so that she would wipe away her own tears.
Also to Marieken, are the dolls you are talking about called Glamour Gals? They were made by mattel using the same molds they used for barbie only they were only a couple inches tall. I loved those!
Becca, I think the No More Tears doll was named Tiny Tears, though I'm not sure.
I've been trying to remember the name of this design kit my mom bought me when I was younger. It came out in the late 80s/early 90s. It was a plastic drafting table in red and white, and the top flipped up and had a storage area. It came with body shapped stencils, stickers, backgrounds, and a bunch of other things to design outfits. Any idea? Please let me know. babydoll_angel@hotmail.com
I had a toy which I swear was called a String-a-long. I think I got it 1985 or so. It had a little peg board type surface. It came with an over-sized pencil-type device filled with red string to 'draw' the outline of pictures on the peg board. There were also little pieces such as eyes, lips, noses etc that could snap on the board to make a complete picture. Does anyone remember this? I have googled it and found nothing.
Does anyone know what this is called? I so want to try to find another one. It was a bath toy that I had in the 80's(made between 83 and 86). Mine was a cobalt blue color. It looked like a martian or alien that had either pointy ears (1 on each side of its head) or maybe they were horns. He was in a permanent sitting position was all one piece with a tail 2 arms and 2 legs. On the bottom of his tail he had a blue suction cup and 1 suction cup at the end or each arm and foot.He was about 4-5 inches from the bottom of his bum to the top of his head. He was made of a soft squeezable rubber material. He was wearing a white hooded bath robe and came with a yellow animal or alien friend. The yellow animal friend may have squirted water and had only 1 yellow suction cup on 1 end. My cousin had one just like mine, except hers was a magenta pink color with the white bath robe. I can't remember what animal/alien friend that one came with or what color ot was. I really want to try to find one of these things, but I have no idea what they were called or what toy company made them. Anyone?? Anyone??
I am looking for a doll I had in the mid-80s. She had pink hair in braids that had purple ribbons down the center of each braid. If you pulled the ribbon, the braid would bunch up to the top of her head. I called her Tuggy but I don't know if that was her real name or one i made up. Anyone have any idea???
Nevermind! I was lying in bed and it came to me. She was a Tug A Bow doll. Anyone else have one of these?

The Monkey looking thing with the green outfit on- i think its a Mon chee chee or something like that and it was a yellowish clear pacifier that it held in it other hand.
I am trying to find the name of these little monkey figurines. They were about 2 in. tall and you could collect them in different poses. The one I remember having wore a pink snowsuit and was holding skis. Thanks
Im looking for a game like thing. It looked like a gold coffin with two large snake protruding from the feet. the object of the game was to put your arm through the snakes and put blu ankh keys into hole on the coffin. if you put the keys into the wrong hole the snakes would spring up and wrap around you arm and a skull would come out of the headboard of the coffin. can any body help me. i think it came out in 85.
Can anyone remember the name of this girls toy. They were small plastic pieces of jewelry with plastic gems on them that would transform into animals. Mine was a star that when opened up turned into a horse. I think that there was a clip on the back and a string necklace to wear it too. Anyone??
I'm trying to remember the name of a toy I had in the early to mid-eighties - probably more early than mid. It was an educational toy like a simple computer, but rather than an LED screen, there were several thin (thinner than a credit card), plastic cards (double sided) that slid into a holder and each card was a different activity. There was a keyboard (and I recall the "keys" being like the buttons on the early Mr. Professors - tic tac size) and more plastic cards (smaller than the other ones) that were laid over the keyboard to correspond to different types of cards. Depending on the card and the keyboard overlay, you could play a song or answer questions. I don't recall the toy being able to "speak", but it had other audio features. I recall it being blue in color and rather heavy, but was portable and probably no more than 12" high by 10" wide. I can remember playing this thing for hours - and even what some of the songs that I learned how to play on the cards. I just can't remember the name of the thing.
Elaine- Those were Sweet Secrets.
Melissa, the two dolls on the left are called "Wee Wild Little Things."
Does anyone know what the stuffed animal was called from the late 80's that if you pushed on their tummy, the clear domed nose had activity. i.e. the nose had a spiral that spun or had stuff like popcorn that "popped". Any idea on what they are called?
Britney, I think you are right! I'm almost sure that is what she was called, Baby Tiny Tears. I Loved her! Thanks!
To Jeremiah: The game was called Durse of the Cobra, it was awesome! I was always scared of the snakes though, lol.
To Sarah: Are you thinking of the Whiz Kid? It was kind of a computer for kids. It played songs and had educational games. My little brother had one and it had all these thin cards that he could insert, kind of like the old floppy disks.
Curse of the Cobra, not Durse...
Sorry for all the posts!
Jen, I think you are talking about a Nosey Bear.
Becca - THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you Becca. Im happy im not just imagining that the game existed. Now if only i could find one online to buy. now who can point me in the right direction to find, curse of the cobra?
I am trying to find a girls toy from the 80's. At least I think it was atoy. It was usually a bunny or a gerbil in pastel colors barrette with long colorful tails that girls could put in their hair. Does anyone know the name of them?
Alycia, I think that what you are looking for are the little pixietails that came with Lady Lovely Locks. Were they small? Each doll in the series came with different animals with long tails and they all did have clips on the back so you could put them in the dolls hair or your own. You can see them at
http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_LadyLovelyLocks.htm
I'm looking for the name and/or manufacturer of a toy described as: a little plastic toy secret keeper . It was a little horse that you squeezed the sides of and it would open up and you could put your secrets inside for safe keeping.
Can anyone help me out?
GZ
hello. i am looking for the name of a baby toy. they were little horseshoe shaped rings with indents that you could connect them together. just cant seem to think of what they are called thank you
GZ- Are you thinking of Keypers? There were different animals. Some had keys to open them. There is more on this websit about them.
JD Thank you so much. Those are it! I was wondering if they had gone with a doll. I just couldn't remember.
I used to have this little plush cat, I called him Jack. Unsure if that was his real name. He came in a little doghouse like thing made out of cardboard I believe. (I think it had a red roof if that helps)
Jack was about 4 inches long, purple with green eyes and I believe at one point he may have had a brown collar.
He was very similar in appearance (the way his feet were arranged) to a pound puppy. He would lay on his belly with his four paws out to his sides.
The material was a soft. The best way to describe it is a mix of valure and flannel to the best of my memory.
His eyes were very green and had black pupils. They were glass I believe like you would find on a teddy bear.. not fabric.
I desperatley want to find out what he was and if I can find another like him.
I had a look thorugh the toy list and he kind of sounded like a Sunburst pet.. as I believe he 'might' have come with a birth cirtificate.. I could be wrong though. I was about 3 when I got him.
Hello. OK so this is what I'm lloking for - all I remember is that they were firefly kind of toy - had wings on the back and the bottom lit up. There use to be a cartoon about these toys also. The character I had was blue. If anyone happens to know what these toys are PLEASE email me at jenny13@hotmail.com. Thank you! P.S. They are NOT glo-worms.
The barbie looking speed racer dude is Rick Hunter from Robotech and the Big robot is Voltron 2...the one that was composed of about 12 different vehicles
Hi! I hope you can help me find a talking baby/toddler doll from the late 1980's. My then 10-year-old daughter used to laugh hysterically at the TV commercials, because they were so lame. One of the doll's sentences was, "Gongee peebee, Bombee! which means 'I love my mommy so much!'" My daughter and I had a running joke for many years, that she would leave for school each day and say, "Gongee peebee, Bombee!" I would love to get my hands on the doll to give my daughter as a Christmas present. Does any of this sound familiar? I'd appreciate any help!
I had a bright blue doll she was furry with a cabbagepatch like face. Her ears were tht shape of leaves and she had on a metallic blue vest that was sparkley and her shoes were the same. She came with a wand that had a snow globe like on the top that you could wear as a necklace. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT SHE WAS CALLED? I cant remember and its driving me crazy!!
Jennifer- I think you are talking about wonder whims. Did she come with an animal too?
Thank you Jessica! That is the name. I looked on the net and that is them but i dont see the one i had. I dont remember getting and animal with mine, but it probably came with one and i just dont remember. Thanks again!!
I saw a He-man action figure in the bunch, a transformer, 3 girls that look like they are Jem action figures & thats about all I could remember name wise
I use to have a little white bear that had a bottle and you fill the bottle water, she had big eyes with little holes in the corner and when you would feed her she would have tears coming out of her eyes. Does anyone remember what this bear was called?
I think the second picture is a muncheechee (sp?) They all sucked their thumbs.
I am looking for the names of a couple of items. One was a bath toy that was a town. It stuck to the wall and had 2 people figures with it. One of the little shops in the town was a fish and chips restaurant. The other toy I am looking for the name of is a play-doh (or imitation) sandwich shop. You could put dough in and squeeze it out like ketchup and ice cream. I think it had a little grill. Thanks!
Jill, you're thinking of the Super Dough Snack Shop by Tyco. My granddaughters still play with it when they come to visit! It's a great toy!
Okay, so I used to have this toy that I cannot think of the name of and nobody else remembers having one. It was a pig racing toy. You raced your pigs down the corral and into the barn by blowing into a tube. Or maybe it was cows. It was some kind of farm animal. Anybody know what that was called?
I think that yellow and red guy...I think I had one. I remember the heart...I think it lit up or something. OMG, memories! I have no idea what it was called.
My son just lost an old toy of mine that he really liked - and so did I!! I want to find him another one, but I don't know what it is called. It was quite popular back in the 80's around the Rubix cube time. It is a plastic shape changing toy. It is blue and white (they probably come in a variety of colors, I guess) and you can make it into different shapes. It can be a straight line like a snake or you can make it into a sort of robot ball, or any variety of shapes. Each individual link/piece is a 3-d triangle shape. I wouldn't be surprised if they still make these today, but I have no idea what they are called!!
Can someone please help me with this?! You can also email me at mfkurtz@gmail.com if you know the answer. I would be sooooo grateful!!!

I have a large pink "panda bear" looking thing. It has ears attached to it by string. It also has tail that looks like a bear's tail. Does anyone know what this is? Someone once said it was an alien, but it looks too much like a bear..however the strings are a throwoff
I am looking for the same doll as Helen. A pull string toy where the head and body were separated by the string and it said "Here comes my body" and "I'm falling apart" Anyone remember this or know the name? Please!?!?!
Nevermind - I just found it. Mattel Talk Up dolls. Sold in 1971 only.....great I'll never find one for sale :-)
MR. CHIMNEY POT!! granted it was only sold over seas it was still a great toy!! i found it on ebay and it brought back so many memories!!
Dave The Slave~~~ The toy you were talkin about that was monster like was a called "Decompose" and was made from the cartoon "Inhumanoids" I still have mine along with boxes of other 80's toys!!!
Jen~~ The toys you're thinkin of were called Nosy Bears. Squeeze them and the stuff spins around in their Nosy.
Im looking for a toy. It was something u sat on that was ground level it had a seat and handle bars ur feet went on the handle bars and u would steer it to move it u would move ur body does any one know what it is or if its still around
I am looking for the name of a toy (or company who made it) I used to have back in the early 80's.....it was a toy movie projector that came with movies that were large cartridges. You would pop the cartridge in and crank it to watch the movie. You were able to watch it on a little screen or project it onto the wall. The movies I remembered having were Bert & Ernie and a movie withh a giant in it.
Looks like a Transformer to me.
im looking for a toy dog. i forget what theyre called obviously, but it was like a waterbaby doll. you filled it up with warm water in a funnel under his belly. does anyone remember these?
Andriana- those were called Roller Racers. Don't know if you can still buy them or not.
The picture with the puppy face dolls are called pople pets which I had in the 80's and popples are coming back in style this year.
I remember a toy when I was a little girl back in the 80's early 90's. I think it was like a watch styled toy but it wasnt a watch. Insted of the face of a watch, it had this round box thing that had a jewel on the top. If you opened the box, you could unfold an animal that was inside and close the box again. Then you would have an animal and the box would be it's tummy. Then you could open the box again and fold the little animal back up inside it. It was plastic as i remember and didnt do much other than that. I just remember how pretty it was. Any one else remember this toy? I would love to find one on ebay for my daughter but i cant remember what htey are called.
nevermind... i found out what those little toys were called.. they are sweet secrets... i looked them up and yay!!! mystery solved!!!
anyone here remembers a series of toys that was like dino riders where they have little riders but instead they have dinosaur skeleton for their battle ride??
hey there were these action figures in the late 80's or early 90's that were able to stretch long distances. there bodies were black in color and they had snap on armor that made them playable? there entire body was elastic. one of the main figures had a like a red helmet head? if anyone can help out really appreciate.
i think these toys came out in the late 80's...i cant remember if the dino skeletons were elastic...but they had weapons attached to them just like dino riders...
Looking for response to: Does anyone remember the toys that were little dolls hidden in an ice cream sundae, a cookie and a spoon that had a little wrist strap?? I believe the dolls were about 3-4 inches tall and had wild colorful hair. Thanks : )
in response to Julia - May 18, 2007 - Report this comment Can anyone tell me the name of this toy. It might be late 1970s or early 80's. There were these little play people and they shuffled along, I think i had a playground set with a big slide that they shuffled down? i think what you're thinking of are precious places. they each came with a key with a magnet on the end that could help you move them around on little interconnecting sidewalks. and also to Mercedes, the little babies shich smelled like baby powder with the o's on their heads were called "Oodles".. sooo close with caboodles.. haha. anyway. that's all i have for now. i hope you come back to read this.
de- i had the second jewelry box that you are describing. the pink key was kept on top of the lid and it came with a little plastic "pearl" bracelet. i can't remember the name of it though. good luck
Chloe Shepherd- those little neon things were called "hot loops".
betty, the animal that you gave a bottle and it cried real tears was called "lost & found".
What was that toy that everyone had--my sister and I loved it!!--It was such a mess. It was that Splatter paint thing with a wheel and the paper went underneath it. What was that called?
Ruth
I have seen the football on a string in my theraphy catalogs I will put the name of it and where to get it when I find it.
Maria pinart is the name of the toy in my catalog. I have also seen them at Walmart
Robin your toy is called "sting along board" like you said I have them in my therapy catalogs but I haven't seen anything to add to them to make them into faces.
I had these toys when i was little, maybe 1988-90...there was a little pale green rubber ball with eyes and a tiny pink nose, and a little orange rubber ball with a cat face...the cat faced ball had a "costume" that is, a plastic orange body with cat stripes and a tail, and then a cat ears "hat"...then the light green ball person had a pink and yellow car that it sat in.....they were my favorite toys (silly i know) and i want to find another set...any ideas?
Thanks Teresa, I have seen those in educational/science stores. It's very similar but not the same as my toy from the 80s. I appreciate the help though! The search goes on for the 1980s String-Along!
Michelle, you are thinking of the Fisher Price Movie Viewer. If you look it up in Google Images you will find a ton of sites that talk about it. I lvoed mine as a kid!
Someone Help! I am looking for this random toy that we used to play with as kids. It was a brown plastic bear that had a motorized spinny thing in the center of it that was used to shape graham crackers (well that is what we used it for) that you would then frost and eat. I have been looking for it for years but anyone I tell besides those that played with it think I am crazy. I think it's name was Buzzy or Buzzy the Bear. It would have come out in the late 1980's, possibly 1988. Has anyone in the world besides me heard of this?? I really need your guys help!
To 80's lover and Belinda- the dolls in the treats are from Mattel and called Liddle Kiddle Sweet Treats. The batch you are speaking of were made in the late 70's.
i was wondering if anyone knows the name of the toy i'm after. i remember it was purple and it had lights that came out of the top of it's head that looked like flowers. the flowers were purple and yellow. my sister and i had one each but hers was pink. they may have also had short purple curly hair. if anyone could give me a name i would really appreiate it. it has me stumped to what it could be...thanks
I am trying to figure out the name of some toys I had a child. I remember one yellow stuffy in the shape of a pear with a blue purse and hat, and another boy who was a mushroom. We used to have plastic plates and cups with them on it as well! I have a photo of my pear shaped lady stuffy but it hasn't been posted yet.
its a transfomers atleast thast what it looks like
looking for a toy that looked like a gingerbread man with a nose that sawed shapes into graham crackers
heather - I AM LOOKING FOR THE SAME THING!!!! I have never heard of anyone else who knows what I am talking about! I think it is made by Hasbro, and my mom thinks it was made about 1988. What information have you been able to find?
Sarah- It sounds like you are talking about Nerfuls.
Lindsey- I remeber that toy. I didn't have one, but it is on this website and is called Buzzy.
Ruth it is called a zipperball but there are many different names for the same toy
Antone remembe Popples?
I seen them at Wal-mart yesterday
Teresa - Would you have any idea where else I could look to find one? There are no links to it on this website. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i have been trying for years to find this particular toy and i would be forever in your debt if you could help me. it was a little pink dog that came with accesories and the only name that i can remember is noochi-nuchi-noochy. but that name never turns up anything. it came out in the mid to late 80's. does anyone know what i am talking about?
Pam, are you thinking of Poochie? She was a little pink cocker spaniel like dog. She had real fluffy ears you could brush. They used to put her on everything, nightgowns, soaps, toothbrushes, and there were the dolls as well.
For the person who submitted the pic of the "Little Happy Orange Fella" from 1984 with the heart on chest it is a Snuggle Bum. I don't have mine anymore and have found it hard to find anywhere. Mine came with a book with all of the snugglebums in it. They came in different colors with their own names and a brush and comb to take care of their hair. I love these little guys!
Jessica- Yes! That's them! thank you so much! :)
Becca, thank you so much!!! that was exactly what i was looking for. i gave mine the name noochie when i was younger and that ended up being my nickname because i was obsessed with my little pink dog toy. again thank you!
Hi, I'm looking for an mid-80's doll ... and I can't remember a single "gimmick". The closest I can get is that the had real hair to brush and I always though of them as "princesses" ... I think the main one had a blue dress. They were rougly the size of barbie dolls and played very well with My Little Ponies. If anyone is psychic enough to help, I'd appreciate it ...
I had a toy that was a pink bunny, and her belly could unlock with a key, and a little animal was inside... she had a long pink hair. There was also a bear, holding and umbrella and the top unlocked and had a little animal in there. Any ideas??
Does anyone remember a stuffed dog that had fur made of yarn? They came in different colours and there was also a cartoon movie made with them. I vaguely remember that a group of the dogs may have been on an adventure and was trying to make it home? All very random stuff - think they were called fluffy dogs? Any info would be grately appreciated, I would love to see one again! Definately made in the mid to late 80's. cheers guys!
Looking for toy set I believe from it came out in the mid eighties. The set consisted of small orange trucks that were automated e.g. front end loader, dump truck etc that would work in conjunction to move steel ball bearings" around an area. Does anyone have any idea what the name of these toys is? Thanks!
I think I have found them - they were called Fluppy Dogs!
They are Fluppy Dogs, and I just bought a copy of the movie on eBay! So many memories!
MELISSA: I can't remember what the 2 dolls and the left are called but I had one that came in a car and I think my sis had one on a bike or a scooter. The kitten is definitely a My Little Pony Pal (not sure that's the right name, but definitely a My Little Pony friend of some sort) and I think the puppy is too. They came with a mom and another kitten/puppy. Sorry, I don't have a clue what the middle doll is.
Help! I had a little pink doll with pink curly hair whose stomach lit up when you squeezed it. It was about 3 inchs tall and came with a tree swing. I gave it away when I was little and always regretted it. It always reminded my of a sprite or maybe a gloworm knock-off, only it was battery operated. Anyone?
MELISSA: The two dolls on the left are "Wee Wild Things".
I'm looking for a bath toy...it was a brown plastic dog that had two spong rollers for "wheels" and the bar of soap when inside between the rollers and the top of the plastic body...any thoughts?
I was wondering if anyone knew what the name of a record player was that also did a slideshow. It was not a Show'n Tell, but it was similar. It projected a slideshow on the wall while you placed a record on top to listen to along with the show.
OK, my sister recently bought plates with these characters on them> I remember reading them as a kid. They looked kinda like jelly-beans. The "mother" was black and had a pearl necklace, and the "father" was a pink blob. I recall them being able to morph into stuff. Anyone remember what they were called?? Something "family" I think
the caveman looking action figure is from a toy series called bone age...kinda like dino riders...
I am trying to remember the name of a toy back from the 80's. It was a doll that could fold into a heart shaped necklace. I don't remember if there was any other shape other then the heart. I only remember having the heart shape one. This was back in 1984 I believe.
AMBER - that little doll was called a Blinkin. I think you can still find them on eBay. The toys are also listed on this site...
http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_Blinkins.htm
I was looking for those a while ago too, they were so cute!
Penny: The pink character you are talking about is Barbapapa. Go to this french website, it talks about the books (there is an English version of the site too). We had Barbapapa's Ark! www.barbapapa.fr/index.html
battle beasts
Elizabeth- It sounds like Sweet Secrets. They just started making them again.
Does anyone know the name of the plastic TV-screen type toy for preschoolers that was battery operated and asked you to point to various pictures of animals (on cards that would be inserted) and when you were wrong, it said, "look again, try again."
Hi Penny I think the characters you are talking about were called Barbapapa and Barbamama. I remember reading book about them when I first started school.
I'm trying to remember the name of a doll that I had when I was a child. I can't remember hair or eye color or even clothes. All I can remember is that she came with little plastic diapers. And I don't believe you could feed her-maybe you could. Anyhow,if something warm/hot touched the diaper,a brown stain would appear. If you put cold liquid on the diaper,a yellow stain would appear. I am racking my brain!! What is this doll??
Melissa,the two larger ones could be Moon Dreamers
Nevermind,they aren't.
OK...I need help with this one. It was 1986 or 1987 and there were these action figures, all of which came with these little "devil" looking guys. They were about 2" tall, had no arms just a head, body and feet. non-poseable. They came in different colors...I never wanted the actual big action figures they came with, but I loved the little devil dudes, I almost traded a kid 2 GI Joe's for one, but my dad wouldn't let me...Anyway if anyone has any idea what these things were, and some info on where to find one I'd be much obliged...trade ya 2 GI Joe's for one!!
I have foggy memories of a sort of battery operated game. Something Faces, I want to say.There were plastic eyes/noses/mouths you'd select to create a wacky face, and when you created your face, it would make the eyes, or maybe all the face parts spin. Driving me crazy!!
Kelly! I think I know the name of the toy for this link....
http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/ID/DigitalHorizon_UnknownToys.jpg
I think those are called My Precious Puffs.
Does anyone remember a yellow plastic microphone from about 1985? It had buttons on the front(blue I think)that played different sounds/music and I believe you could also recor/playback your voice. It also had a little stand that pulled out from the underside so you could prop it up on a table.....any help remembering the name would be great! Thx!
Thanks, Mercedes!!! :)
does anyone know where i can find one of those teddy bears that had jellybeans on the tummy and they really smelled like jellybeans? i didn't even remember it until someone said it the other day and i could cry remembering how much i loved that thing!
Hi, did anyone else have this velcro bracelet and on top was a big purple puff ball with a yellow plastic cat(?) face in the middle. I remember it smelled good too.
Sara, I just mentioned that a few messages above. Those are called My Precious Puffs.
Princess311, those are called Yums Yums. I even had the site for it. http://www.aliviastoys.com/yumyums/yumyums.html
Mercedes you're awesome! I looked at the site and they are the right ones, but I thought I had a purple bear. Either way, now I'll really be able to look for them! Thanks :)
Oh yeah and does anyone know about a white robot that had like some kind of square in the middle of his belly and blue/red/yellow (maybe the right colors) soft buttons along the sides of that square?
The yellow pear lady plush toy is an Avon Somersault Pear. There is also Mushroom boy, a potato
my brother used to have this purple diesel truck that folded out into some sort of secret station. i cant remember what the toy was related to. i want to say it was a transformer, but it didnt turn into a robot, that i can remember. anyone have nay clues???
one more! what about the stuffed animals that changed colors in the bath?
Anji, I think those stuffed animals you are talking about Hello Goodbye toy that changes colors in water. Although, I'm unable to find any pictures, but according to inthe80s.com it's called Hello Goodbye.
Regarding the robot toys (the yellow/blue/grey/black orb toys) I had all of those too. I have a vague memory of getting the blue one at a Dart store, which was like a CVS IIRC. I didn't know much about such things at that age, but I've since then concluded that they were some generic Transformers knock-off. Not that it matters, I liked those toys just the same as all my other ones.
can someone please tell me what that big motorized monster thing is a local toy store has one for sale and no one know's what the heck it is it's a mystery!!!!!!!
I am looking for a space game I played as a kid I am pretty sure it was the '80s it had little colored space ships as the pieces they almost looked like penguins if you looked quick they were no bigger than an inch. Someone please help me! the cover of the box was dark with one of the ships whizzing past. Maybe it started with a G?
Thanks Mercedes! That is really wierd that there isnt any information or pictures of them. It also makes me sad. I will keep hunting, though!
To Anji - Your truck may have been from the cartoon MASK (or M.A.S.K.)
my friend had these green guys that would stretch and you could pull their limbs off. they came with a laboratory playset. does anybody know what the hell these things were called ?
Does anyone know what the name of this doll is. I had it as a child back in the famous 80's and then my rude mother threw her away. She was a blue and white checkered doll with orangish red braided type of hair. I don't remember what kind of clothes she has. Anyone with info, please post. Thank you.
Snake Blood Drinker, that toy you are referring to is Stretch Armstrong I believe.
Barbie, I may be wrong, but all I can think of was Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. Any more info that you can give away? Blue and white checkered doll, do you mean by the body that is made out of cloth material?
I want to know the name of the toy where it was an upright rectangular container of "water" with plastic fish in it. You would hold it at the bottom and push a white button to get the fish to jump into the net. The goal was to try and get them all in the net if I remember correctly. What is the name of it?
I'm trying to find a toy that I had which played little video clips. it was a small black box shaped thing on a keychain and you put little cartridges into it to watch the movies. The cartridges were like little round things that I think were clear. I had a count duckula one and a popeye one
In the middle 70s or early 80s I had a toy in which I do not remember the maker of this toy or its name. It is best described as a one handle hand held view projector in which you look into a single lense and takes a removable cartridge containing a miniature reel. Its shape was somewhat in the form of the letter "T". There was a handle on the bottom of the projector and a crank on the right side of the toy in which you would spin clockwise to make the animation play as you look inside of the view lense. One particular film that I remember this toy playing is a Mickey mouse cartoon with ghosts, a haunted house and the house being flooded with water as mickey mouse made his escape on the broken door of the room. This was such an awesome toy to have been made in that period of time with real moving animation and manual activation (no batteries required). I have done many searches online and have not found anything similar. Can someone please help? I would love to see this amazing toy again and possibly own another one of my own.
Is there any one out there that loved JEM dolls as much as I did? Also, any of you girls out there ever watch "Guys Next Door."? It was a saturday morning show in the early 90's.
P. Renae: My parents have the toy you are talking about. I remember playing with it and I think my nephew plays with it now. I don't remember the name of it either!
P. Renae: Found it! It's called the Fisher Price Movie Viewer. You can find them on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-FISHER-PRICE-MOVIE-VIEWER-460-LOT-WORKS-GREAT_W0QQitemZ270208911940QQihZ017QQcategoryZ30QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Hi all. I am looking for an outdoor item. It was a yellow plastic cone (sort of shaped like a trumpet)with a red rubber accordian-like pump on the bottom. You put a small blue ball in the cone and then punched the pump and the ball went flying up in the air and you were supposed to catch it back in the cone. I remember that it made a funny whistling sound as the ball went around and around until it settled back in the bottom. They may have been sold in sets of two. Does anyone remember these or what they were called? I can't seem to find them anywhere.
Thanks!
Danielle, thanks for the response. Sorry it's taken me awhile to get back to you. Yes from what i remember, the body was made out of cloth material. I have checked raggedy ann and andy dolls, but can't seem to find this particular doll. All i remember was she was a very ugly doll with orangish red braided yarn type of hair and a light blue and white checkered cloth like body, but i loved her very much. I'd like to show my kids what she looked like, especially compared to the baby newborns my daughter plays with now, much more realistic. Thanks for your help
jessica, you are awesome! that is totally where the truck came from!
I use to have an lates 70s/early 80s figure where you could see through the limbs and press his chest I think to see the blood circulate. Anyone remember the name of the figure?
Can any one remember what the name of a toy i had in the 80s its doing my head in, The best way to describe it was a white tank shape with a trailer and on top of the tank there was a key pad and arrows where you had to input directions and the tank used to go n its happy way.....
Please someone must remember what it was called
im looking for the name of a plush toy i had growing up, a medium sized dinosaur i think it was neon colored and made out of a nylon material, when you squeezed his belly he made a squealing type of noise kind of sounded like someone trying to catch their breath. if anyone could help me out that would be great..thanks!!
Michelle, know what your talking about. We had them at my grandmas house, but I can't remeber what they are called either
Barbie, the doll with the red braids and blue and white checkered dress sounds like Holly Hobbie. She was popular in the late 70s/early 80s.
I've been desperately looking for my childhood friend. It was a stuffed, pink dog made out of parachute-like material. It had purple arms and legs and the bottom of the legs/feet were yellow. It had hard black eyes. I called him puppy so I have no idea what the real name is.
my friend had these guys that were kinda gi joe size and style, they came with grappling hooks or something and the gimmick was that they rode down strings, does anyone remember the name of these? i also had this toy that i can't remember too much about, it was battery-operated and had a marble that went down a track, and the whole thing folded up into a carrying case. when folded it was about 4x6" or so and it was green, although there were different themed models to mine that came in different colors. i vaguely recall some part of it involving monkeys but this may be incorrect.
Jess, I think the puppy you are talking about are Puffalump.
I am looking for a doll that I had in the 80's she was about 12 or so inches tall and she had blonde hair but had this wand that you filled with water and when pressed onto her hair would change the color of her hair with a heart shape?! If anyone has any info on that it would be much apprciated! Also does anyone remember the electronic Girl talk game where you put these cards with pictures of boys in this little electronic box and it was like the boys were talking to you? I cant find anything on this! Thanks!
I am looking foir two toys that my brother and I had growing up. One was a handheld spaceship that you would point and shoot at your tv screen with while the movie was playing and if you got hit your action figure would pop out of the top of the ship. The second is a barbie like doll that had metallic skin and glittery hair. They came out with diffrent colors for the dolls. If anyone knows what I am talking about please let me know. Arv2g@mtsu.edu
Hot looks!!!! stacey from america,chelsie from london,mimi from france,zizi from africa, and you all forgot about elke from sweden as for the newwer ones i think celest is correct
Does anybody know if there were any Zelda actions figures (like in happy meals or anything like that) made in the 80's that tied in with the cartoon that was being aired at the time. I'm looking for the actual Princess Zelda figure. I'm hoping to find it for my girlfriend
Ashlie- It sounds like the doll you are talking about is a Spectra doll.
Kate- I'm looking for info for the same bath toy except mine was a race car (not a dog) that had sponge rollers for wheels. I wish I could find it or remember what it was called.
Mandie! The doll you are looking for is little miss magic hair, I've been looking for one too
i am looking for some toys I had as a child-mid80's to 1990's. I think I found them in a hobby shop. They were tiny plush animals (I had a turtle, a mouse, and a hedgehog or porcupine) maybe 1.5-2.5". The hedgehog I remember very vividly--it had a shiny, silver metal clip on the belly. They all had the clips. They were to clip-on to your pockets or clothes or shoe-laces. Does anyone remember these?
Thank you Jess, but i looked up the Hollie Hobby dolls and they don't look like the doll i had. I don't remember if she had any clothes on or what they looked like but i know her body was blue and white checkered. Thank you anyway though.
I am wondering if anyone has seen this kind of toy. I guess it would fall in the catagory of junk-five and dime toys.
It was a plastic T.V. set roughly about the size of a box of "Sucret" lozengers. The screen cover came off to reveal two spools with a slit in each of them. There was usually about 4 or 5 comics or stories on a paper roll. You would load the paper roll onto the spools (very much like an old 8mm camera) and then replace the cover. The spools had two knobs that sat outside of the plastic T.V. You would turn the top one in a winding motion. The story of comic on the paper roll would appear in the plastic window. This was a toy that was sold in the 60s-90s. It was very cheap no more than 1 or 2 bucks and probably was seen in drugstores, grocery stores, five and dimes. Does anyone remember this toy?
I am looking for the name of 80's aToy/Game: That consisted of 2 Pirate ships (one Red, one Blue) with Sails made out of yellow plastic (on which tiny pirates could hook on. Pirates would be launched from a toy cannon provided for each of the 2 players). The object of the game was to launch & hook as many pirates onto the opposite ship in order to tilt it over and WIN the game! My brother and I played for hours on ends! It was simple yet satisfying when the enemy boat sunk! If you know what this is, or how it was called, please let me know!!!!
does anyone know the name of a toy that was very simple. Two perspex layers that had fish and an under water environment that floated when you madly pressed a white button?
Melissa,
the two dolls on the left are Moon Beamers!
:o)
Here's an obscure one. I used to have a toy gun that I can't find any information on. You'd load its cartriges with Matchbox-type cars, and load the gun like a big bolt-action rifle, and it would shoot the cars across the floor. I remember it was a big tan/brown gun. Any help?
I am looking for a very special toy.It was a monkey hand puppet that Had A Pull string.It was orange with Black stripes.It also talked French.Say's You didn't really call me a monkey did you.Please Let Me know Thanks.
I am looking for a special toy from my childhood.Its a orange monkey with black stripes.Its a hand puppet.That had a pull string and talked in French.If anyone knows the name and maker please let me know.
I'm trying to find a toy that I had which played little video clips. it was a small black box shaped thing on a keychain and you put little cartridges into it to watch the movies. The cartridges were like little round things that I think were clear. I had a count duckula one and a popeye one
Does anyone remember a girls toy set from the late 70's early 80's where you'd make your own perfume.
My sister and I had one back then and I'm trying to find out what the set is called and who it's made by Please help
See Snake Blood Drinkers Comments from Jan 31st. This isn't a Stretch armstrong toy. It was a green doll about the size of a he man. It was made with a sticky rubbery material. You were supposedly supposed to be able pull the arm off at about mid bi-cep and the leg at mid thigh and the would go back on it. after awhile they quit sticking. You could buy a playset that was either a lab as Snake Blood Drinker described, but I remember a volcano playset that i had that had a clear slime to put inside it. I have recollection of there being other action figures of the same type, because i think i had more than 1. It's driving me crazy!!! Thanks
I've been trying to find a toy that I had in the 80's. It was a flower pot and you water it and then a doll was in the flower, the whole thing was plastic and the doll looked like a kiddle. There was a series of these. Then from reading the messages on here I remembered another doll I can't remember the name of. It was kind of like a sweet secret doll, but instead it had perfume in it...maybe it was from the sweet secret line? Not really sure...
the construction set someone asked about, i think it was Constucks it was alot of fun and came in big sets my dad had bought it but we all played with it i think the beams were gret and the conectors were blue or something like that :)
nat- they were called waterfuls
http://www.ilovethe80s.com/toys_toys_waterfuls.htm
ok i've got a hard one now, when i was little there was a game, i know it took bateries because my mom threw it out because it got acidic. I think it was yellow and one corner had a charictor i think it was a skunk and i think it was a sticker of a skunk that was attached on that corner i can't remember the rest except i was real young and i know it took batteries but i can remember why, i was pretty sure it was yellow though....
regarding the photo of the little orange fella, weren't these called squiggles? I think i have a vhs tape of there commercial somewhere i remember it a little they laughed when shaken i think.... good memories
the female gladiator types in the photo look like they might be Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstone which supposidly are really collectable these days.
the woodsy guy in the photo is Redlen the Readwood from inhumanoids
Snugglebums little cutey i think is the orange little toy in the photo, i think i posted this earlier but it doesn't show up now
Im looking for a toy that I used to have actually it was the very first toy I remember buying with my own money oh how proud I was! Anyways, it was a dog I think, it was white and you fed it a bottle filled with water and when you hugged the dog water would come out of his eyes like he was crying. I remember it had really big glassy eyes. Any help would be great! Thanks!
I had the cat one of these watery eyed toys. it was grey. going to try and load a pic, as my mum found it in her loft just the other day!!!
I am looking for a plastic ice cream cone-shaped gadget that you would put ice cream in, and you would push it up through holes; my babysitter had two of them from around 1980-1981; I would love to find it; does anyone know what I'm talking about or what it's called?
I am looking for the name of a teddy bearish toy that can fold in on itself to make a ball, any help I would love
Hi Brice -- That sounds like a Popple. Multi-colored stuffed toy that you fold into a pouch?
Can anyone tell me the name of: it was a drawing kit geared for boys- there were different stencil pieces that you traced with a pencilon paper to create a complete car picture that you would then color.....? My son is now 25 and it is driving him crazy trying to remember the name!
Thats it, thanks P
I just talked to my son...got more details...he says it was a red plastic box that had a blue disk with numbers on it that you placed over paper...you started at #1 and inserted a pencil into a sort of groove, followed a sort of stencil outline, made maybe a line, then moved onto #2 and made another line, and continued thru all the numbers on the disk...until you had made a complete car, motorcycle, etc It sounds kinda like a Spirograph kinda concept only you made a picture of a vehicle instead of just a design...Any idea of what this was called???
Hi everyone-I am stumped remembering the name of one of my favorite toys from 1980/81-I remember the approximate year because I brought it for show and tell when I was in 1st grade. It was a hand puppet, like a hairy octopus...cute though-it had a white GLOVE on the top and the monster was under the glove...when you stick your hand in the sleeve, it looks as though you put your hand in the glove but you are really sticking your fingers in the 5 appendages. When you wiggled your fingers, the toy made it look to others like you were "controlling" the movements through the glove! Sound familiar to anyone?!! MOMMACETA-Spirograph sounds right, or Spirodoodle? this sounds familiar....
Hi Alison...I have no idea about the 'glove' puppet...but i have 'googled' every kind of description for that as well as the car/motorcycle drawing kit my son had with no luck! I remember him playing/drawing with it for hours...the blue disk was about the size of a CD (there were multiple disks depending on what vehicle you were going to end up with). It was like small sections of the complete picture were mixed up and spread out all over the disk in a sort of stencil format. when you lined up the #1 on the disk to the #1 on the frame you then made that line/shape with your pencil...continuing with each successive number until you completed all the #'s and had made whatever picture that disk made (a car, motorcycle,etc). I believe there were girl versions too- but i don't remember what the pictures were for girls to draw. My son must have been about 8-12 when I bought it...so I guess it must have been about 1990-1994?
We are going nuts trying to figure out what it was called!
TedY...I totally remember that toy! I have no clue what it was called, but I remember playing with it- had to be in the late 60's- only I remember it to be bigger than a Sucret box (maybe cause I was so small :)
Michelle!!! I am so happy someone else remembers that toy!! I got SO mad at my mother when i found out she threw it out!! The giant 'movie' (lol.. what would you call it) was on of the ones i had too... i just remember his nose being tied up with rope, and i think there was a little guy trying to bring him down. For anyone reading this, this was michelle's comment, if you know what this toy is, please email veeebeee@hotmail.com "I am looking for the name of a toy (or company who made it) I used to have back in the early 80's.....it was a toy movie projector that came with movies that were large cartridges. You would pop the cartridge in and crank it to watch the movie. You were able to watch it on a little screen or project it onto the wall. The movies I remembered having were Bert & Ernie and a movie withh a giant in it."
The doll with the large head that said many phrases is a Joanne Worley doll from tv's laugh-in. It said "oops I lost my head for a moment", "I'm falling a part, whoo hoo", my personal favourite "here comes my body" and some more phrases. Its a "talkup doll".. from 1971 by Mattel... for more info, go to www.bonsignore.com/alisa/TalkUps.html
Zoe - that pink bunny w/ the opening belly is a "Keyper"
Vanessa/ Michelle - that was the Fisher Price Movie Viewer!
Michelle - the "yellow cone" game w/ the red thing on the end was made by Tupperware in its "Tuppertoys" line. It was called "Pop-A-Lot."
Mandie - i think that crying dog is a RUSS Little Ouch-Eze?? I remember they had a plastic tear on them already, but couldn't remember if you could make it cry yourself...?
I think that phone game w/ the boyfriends is Electronic Talking Mystery Date Game
Oops - that last post was from me to Mandie, not from Mandie! Sorry, Mandie! :)
Barbie - Is the blue/white doll you're talking about Mrs. Beasley? She originally came w/ wire framed glasses. She wasn't checkered, she was polka-dotted. And she fits the description as "not very cute." She has kind of Donald Trump style hair.
FanFoi, that pirate game is "Flying Pirates." My brother and I spent many an hour flinging those pirates at each others' ships. With all the Pirate hype they should reissue it as a re-released "vintage" game (even though it was from like 1990 or something)! :)
That gun that shoots Matchbox cars is on eBay. I just typed "Matchbox car launcher." I think my brothers' old one is still in my parents' basement! But the stickers are probably well worn off by now!
Oops - I did it again. That previous msg was from me to Kevin. Sorry, Kevin! (I wish I could just log in and stay logged in!) :)
Okay folks. I've helped as much as I can, now I need the help!
I have a little posable doll (approx. stawberry shortcake size). She has star-shaped sunglasses as a permanent part of her face. Her hair is duo-toned w/ a vibrant blue streak and it's up in a half ponytail. She's very punk looking, but has a kiddie/cherub-y face like Rainbow Bright. I found her naked so I don't know what her clothes look like. Anyone got a clue??
Elle - Your little guy w/ "Christmas light eyes" and a blue hoodie was a "Chubble."
Okay, I had a board game that I can't remember the name of. I loved it, but no one seems to have ANY information on it. It involved plastic insects that sat on an aluminum spider web. Each one had pegs of varying heights under their legs. Your job was to take a metal-pronged fork and pick up the bugs without touching the web. If you did, a wheel would spin that would shoot a foam rubber spider at you from a platform. Does anyone know this game and remember its name? Help!
I think it's "Beware of the Spider"
Michelle in Australia, I believe you have a Monkiki. Their greatest feature was the fact that you could stick their thumbs in their mouths. It even said so in the irritatingly catchy jingle that played every ten minutes.
I had this owl, it had a vinyl body and fabric wings. When you pressed down on his head his wings opened and closed. I believe that his eyes also lit up. NAy ideas?
shell, Thank you so much! One of my friends thought it was "Don't Wake the Spider," but I knew that wasn't quite right. Now I can sleep at night!
I'm trying to remember the name of a doll that was really popular one Christmas in the early 80's. I remember that mine was yellow and I don't think it really had legs, it was more like it was wrapped in a blanket. I think it moved around or something like it was sleeping maybe? I know they sold out at Christmas and my grandmother got me one later the next year and I was so happy. Any thoughts?
It was called Build A Better Burger!!! I loved that game and actually still have it, even though im now 26! http://www.boardgamegeek.com/images/game/9478 Theres some images of it there

I'm hoping someone else remembers what these were called because it's driving me nuts!
They were board games disguised as cassette tapes, with a playing board that would fold up and fit inside the bottom of the tape. There was a switch you would push and the wheels of the tape would spin and the number they stopped on was the number of spaces you could move. The playing pieces were kept in a little compartment at the top of the tape.
I seem to think they were called Spinners, but I may be wrong, since I haven't found anything on them yet. I had a pirate themed one.
Any help sure would be appreciated!
Flipsiders?
I am trying to remember the exact name and locate a doll that I had as a child in the early 80's. I remember that my uncle from out of state brought her to me as a present one year when he came in to visit. She was built like a Barbie but facial features were a little different, with Blonde hair, and I believe her name was Star. I remember on the box it had pictures like she had friends you could purchase too. It's driving me crazy. Thank you :)
Yes, thank you Shell- that's it! I've literally been going nuts for months trying to remember what they were called!
I had the Scavenger's Gold game and would love to find it again, but at least now I know what they're called!
I uploaded a pic of a unknown toy I have but I now carnt find the pic on here lol its of tea set thing can others see it by chance?
Lol its ok I just realised that it needs to viewed by the editor before its uploaded on the site =)
OK there was a runway/stage show with plastic dolls that had snap on clothes you would set them on a stage and they would twirl around and show off their clothes does anyone know what the name was?
O.K. so I was born in "87" but I had this stuffed animal my aunt bought me>I loved it and still do>@ 21yrs old> but his name is
( P.J. Funny Bunny ) from a beginners book ~ and he was as big as me when i was 3yrs old and I want one of these for my kids to enjoy and would love to buy one> any price! used or what not>
Alright, I believe this toy I've been frantically trying to find was from the late 80's/maybe even early 90's...I wish I could remember more about this thing, but the only information I can remember is that the accessory that went with it was something like a black plastic pointer (maybe the length of a magic marker) that required maybe a 9 volt battery(?) and the pointer-thing itself had a little metal tip at the smaller end and a tiny circle on top where either a red or green light came on. I'm thinking that you had to touch the metal tip on an object that was perhaps in a book?? I seriously have no idea, and my description is so sucky that people look at me weird when I try explaining it. lol. Please help!! =)
For the person looking for the tank toy -
it was called a "Big Trax"
I've come across these toys in my basement and have no idea the name of them. They come in six separate characters, that attach to make one bigger figure. They're not Voltron, they look Alien creatures, or monsters. Individually they form into perhaps bats(the two arms of the bigger figure), but they seem to turn into robotic planes that look like these "bats." I know this is a horrible description, but I really just don't know how else to describe them. If anyone has any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Can anyone tell me what this teaset is here is a link to a pic of it? I sure its simlar to a tea seat made in the mid 80's that came set on a white round table and also had the pop up toaster I think it was made by lady bird?? http://tinyurl.com/3bynur
Shannon - They were the Dolly Pops by Nickerbockers. You'll find them on this site. For some reason, I thought about them recently and and it was driving me crazy so I had to try to figure out what they were called. I had the stage show...it was one of my favorite toys.
I know this is going to be a hrd one but i must know what the name of these are. Ok, 87,88,89 sumwhere around that time, they were mybe 4-5" tall plastic figure, the one i had was orangish color cloak with hood(reminds me of the things on the movie phantasm or the dinks from spaceballs)
and it had a hologram in the face that was like a skeleton or demon. This was kind of a scary toy really but i like stuff like that. I cant think of the name for anything
The Green little doll looks like a Monchichi! Does anyone remember these? If not you can google them and see what they look like.

hi...does anyone remember a calculator type toy in a yellow box.....it asked u math questions like 2+2, 6x2 etc and u had to get t right ans....when u did a professor guy used to flash up and it he had a mustache that went up and down...i really liked it and wanted to get my little girl one...so if u know the name of it...please comment...thanks
@ sarah you're looking for "little professor" by texas instruments http://www.devidts.com/be-calc/edu_10148.html
I had a toy it was a red box.
The front of the box was translucent plastic.
Inside the box was metal ball bearings.
You used a magentic gun to fire the ball bearings at ghosts at the back of the box.
I don't remember much except this.
I know my friend had a similar yellow box, except instead of ghosts it was sport.
What was it?!
I had what i think was called a "Magical Theatre" when i was younger... (probably around 1990-1995 ish?) It was a plastic "theatre" with backdrop/scenery cards, working lights, sliding curtains, balconies to the front of the stage, little plactic 3D characters which could be mounted onto magnetic bases to move around the stage with the two "magic wands" that slid underneath the stage ... you could also buy different scenery and cardboard characters to colour in yourself.... i thought it was called Magical Theatre but can't seem to find reference to it anywhere... does anyone know who it was made by/what it was really called?? (Fond memories - : ) lol!)
I have been trying to think of the name of a "toy" from when I was a kid. All they were were small foam cylinders which shot out of your fingers when you sqeezed them. I think it was the same foam material as today's swimming noodles.
Ashlie, I'm pretty sure that the spaceship that you hold and shoot at the tv while a movie is playing is Captain Power. Or at least, they are a lot a like. Captain Power was a white-ish spaceship with a handle and you aimed it at the tv and tried to shoot various bright, flashing chest shields or flashing parts of ships. Hope this helps.
For the person who submitted the picture of the red and yellow doll and said that it was from about 1985 and didn't know what it's called....it's Robotman. Here's a page about the toy. Look about halfway down the page. Google this phrase robotman stuffed.
i am trying to remember the name of a toy from about mid-80's, it was like a stuffed animal and when you put it in the water it would change colors. there were a bunch of different ones. i had a unicorn. does anybody remember what they were called? i'm going nuts...
Trying to find the name of a toy I had in the eighties. It was like a pair of red binoculars with a lever at the side, You would load in a cardboard disc with lots of tiny pictures on, look into the binoculars and see the pictures. You would then press the lever and the disc would rotate one picture at a time. I know I had a spiderman one!! Any Help please!!
Found it! Viewmaster it was called!!
I am looking for info on some 80's toys I had. It was small metal aircraft and tanks. One specifically was a good guy blue swing wing F-111 type toy. Any one remember this.
I'm trying to find an old plush rabbit for my girlfriend she had as a little girl.
She can't remember what it is called, but it was a rabbit with zippers on its ears and it would fold up into an egg shape.
Any help would be wonderful!!!
Trying to get more info on POWDER PUFF heart house? Trying to find. Early 80`s, Want to know who made it. All i know is it said powder puff- submitted a picture-hopefully they will post it.
Does anyone remember a doll (I think it was stuffed) that only wore a diaper, metallic green or pink maybe, it had a little curl of hair on top and there were big ones and little ones? This is driving me crazy! I'm not real sure of my description but I definetly remember playing with them. Thanks to anyone who can help!!!
AMY! It is Called a Huggabunch! Mine has a metallic pink diaper and they come holding a baby Huggabunch. Check under the alphabetized list! So cute!
What is the name of the toy which you could twist it's triangles and make it into shapes, like a ball, or a sword, or a duck, etc. It was two-toned in color. Similar in concept to the rubex cube, but starts out straight and you can create object.
the toy made of triangles that starts straight and you twist into different shapes and is made in two colors is called "the snake"and i have one
any of you guys remember the Commodore 64 game called Potty Pigeon? I friggen loved that game! I miss that computer =(
I think it was the Rubiks Snake.
I really need help, I lost this doll I got when I was born..I called her Baby Nancy although in sure that was just a name I gave her. She was a rag doll, wearing a purple suit with white polka dots and she smelled like white chocolate. A friend of mine also had one but hers had bunny ears and was white with pink polka dots. Can anyone help me find the name to these dolls? I need to find one
Does anyone know of an 80's toy. It was plastic, hollow tubes that squished like an accordion. Each tube was blue or red (or maybe yellow) and was maybe 4-5 inches long. You connect the tubes at the ends and can make a long piece and twist it into different shapes. They could have had connector pieces. PLEASE email me at lbpage8858@yahoo.com. Thanks.
Does anyone know the name of a plush toy that came out about the same time as the popples and Wuzzles it was really big (to a 6 yr old) a Satiny exterior and you could squish it into a tiny pillow type thing I know it sounds Weird but I loved that thing so much and I want to find some for my kids I know they would love them
I found the things called Puffalumps which is what I thought it was but I can't seem to find the one I had she was a light purple maybe Light Grey Hippo if anyone can help me find one like that please let me know
I'm trying to figure out what these cat dolls I used to have were: They had humanoid soft cloth bodies covered w/ fur and hard plastic hands, feet, and faces, kind of anthropomorphized but still feline, and each came from a different country and dressed accordingly - white cat w/ purple clothes/hat from France, red cat with black clothes/hat from Russia, and so forth. I guess they were somewhere between 6 and 9 inches tall. Anybody seen these?
Trying to find toy from 1981-POWDER PUFF SWEETHEART PLAYHOUSE. Little dollhouse that opened up-had rooms with furniture. Any info- looked on ebay, no such luck.
I am trying to find the name of a large plastic kids construction kit all the pieces were either blue, white, red, green, yellow, black. Some of the pieces were plastic boxes with lots of holes where you could put screws through and hold them together. It had some black wheels and different sized slats with holes in I think mostly in blue but I think there were other coloured ones too depending on the size. You could put it all together to make things such as ride on toys.
I remember having a set of books as a kid that you would buy packs of numbered stickers to 'create' the story in the book. I remember Batman and Dick Tracy but I know there were others. Anybody remember these and what they were called?
Oh, Heather. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I can't believe I couldn't remember something as simple as "Pop-a-lot." I am grinning from ear to ear now (and frantically searching for one to buy).
Hi. I'm looking for these dolls for my sister. They're girls named after foods, like Lilly Vanilly, and other stuff. BTW, my sister says they're NOT Strawberry Shortcake dolls.
@Carl -- they're called cherry merry muffin dolls. cherry, chocolate, banana, vanilla, etc. AMAZING. and good luck :D
Anyone remember these little plastic dolls from the 80s? I have a picture in the gallery at the top of this page. Some had clothes and others came only with diapers and bibs. I think I remeber them coming with nursery furniture too. They weren't generic named I don't think. they are 5" tall and are made with a very soft smooth plastic. I think I had got them the same time I got my Bouncin' Babies so they may have been on the shelf in stores at the same time if that helps.
Kim- they are Love-A-Bye Babies by Hasbro
I'm not sure if the toy I'm thinking of was from the late 80's or the early 90's, but... My sister and I received 2 different dolls (about 3 or 4 inches tall), mine with red hair and my sister's with blonde. They came with a tiny gold key... Mine had a grandfather clock that turned into a bowling alley, and my sister's turned from something into a "Wheel of Fortune" looking game. Any ideas what they were???
Does anyone remember the dolls in a candy container? When you opened up the container it was their bed. I can`t remember the name. The box was either hershey or krackel?
I had a doll when I was small. It is from the early 80'sI used to call her Prisella. My puppy ate her anyway she was my favorite doll and I would love another one for my daughter. I think the doll was bought from a Hallmark store. It was a styrofoam head with a soft nylan face. Blue hair and the hair was like needle point floss. The eyes were littleblack felt tear drops. The doll had a real pretty dress and skinny body holding a flower and the mouth was sewn with thread. I have a picture of me holding her if anyone wants to email me i'M AT Evillin@earthlink.net
Also There was this soft white cat that I had with a bell sewn inside the tail and a bow around the neck the cat had green eyes lond tail and paws. skinny body too.
Just a quick note. The view master is now available in Dollar Tree. I bought one for my daughter
Rebecca- It sounds like Wishworld Kids.
The little film projector was a Fisher Price toy. It was similar to the view master in that you looked through it to see the pictures. This was a lot cooler though because it was like watching movies. You cranked the handle on the side to make the picture move. You could even make it go backwards. It made the coolest sound when you cranked the handle. It used to pretend that I was a news camera reporter with it. I wish I knew what happened to it.
I used to have this stuffed animal back in the 90's that was white with big floppy ears and had a flower or something on the top of her head that held lip gloss. Does anybody know what they were called?
E-mail me if anybody knows please! Thanks!

I'm trying to think of the name of a toy I had in the 80s. It was not a Light Brite, but something similar. It had a sliding screen on top, and you'd poke it with an attached pen and the light from a colored bulb inside would shine through the hole. You could make patterns on the screen, and if you wanted to erase it, you just pulled the screen up and back down.
This is killing me, I need to find out the name of this toy I had back in the 90s. It was like a neon stick that made a funny noise whenever you turn it upside down. If you can help, please do. mboland@pascack.k12.nj.us
Oooh, Despins! I had that, too! What was it called???
I'm looking for a cloth panda bean bag toy, about 5 inches tall, with plastic face and paws. With a hole for a mouth, it could suck its own thumb and toe. Early '80s I think. Even toy collectors say they have never heard of such a toy.
I'm looking for a doll from the 80s. She was a rag doll with red or brown yarn hair tied at each side of her head in either pony tails or braids. She wore an apron that had, with short strings attached, in each pocket, a spoon, a teapot, and two other things. I think she may have been made by Amtoy.
ADAM- I have been looking for the same toy (i think) with no luck. Did the plastic sheets have holes on side of them? Each sheet had a different set of holes that little yellow (i believe) buttons would fit into under the frame that held on the sheets.
I had this doll, it was sorta like a cabbage patch/koosa it was blue and fuzzy with a light blue face and abird like beek it came with a sparkly vest in rainbow like colors and a keliedescope. Does anyone remember these things... it is making me crazy. you can e mail me if so.
i sorta remember an action figure that was stretchy and had armor that snapped around it. is this the mangalore toy line not sure all i remember is the commercial never had the toy and cant find any pics of it.
Tiffany- they are called Wonder Whims
ok ive looked everywher and cant find any info at all
when i was a kid in the 80s there were 2 lines of toys that were made to smell horrible
the 1st ones were small rubber guys...i remember a red one a blue one and a purple one....one was bad breath...one may have been raw sewage....im not 100 percent sure...i also think you could open them up and take the stinky part out of them but the rubber toy still held a lil of the smell
the second line was bigger and smelled much worse...i got one for a birthday or christmas and it smelled so bad i wasnt allowed to have it in the house.....i think it was puke scented
if anyone remembers these id love to find info on them....i think the 2nd line may have been discontinued pretty quickly due to parental complaints but again im not sure
even if i cant find the actually toy...and i imagine the smell would be long worn off id still love to remember what they were called and find some info on them
thanks guys in advance
Hi All!! I need help in finding 2 items: The first one was a Snoopy doghouse that you build. It came with a green colored base (I think) that had four "L" slots on each corner. You would place each of the four white "walls" on these slots along with a red roof to build the house. The roof had a slight opening at the top where you would fit snoopy on. He wouldn't fall because his back had an elongated "notch" that would fit in the opening. It was pretty simple to put together and came out sometime in the 70's or early 80's.
The second one is a Disney wind-up T.V. toy that played "small world" and the screen would "flow" as it showed images of Disney characters. I don't know if it was Mattel that made it or not but I bought it...ok, my parents' bought it (lol), in the early to mid 80's.
I've been trying to find these items on the internet but haven't had any luck yet. Thanks everyone!!
The robot looks familiar- TOMY comes to mind. I will look into this, and come back. I think my brother had it as a kid.
I had a board game when I was little that had 2 cobras on one end of it and you had to put your hand through them. If you weren't fast enough, they would close on your arm. I was scared to death of it. I can't remember what it was called. Does anyone know?
If you know of the board game with the cobras I'm talking about in my earlier post, please email me. tennblondie78@aol.com thanks!
Shawna-- The doll you are talking about is one of the Hugga Bunches. I have several of them, too.
I'm looking for a toy that came out in either the late 1980's or early 1990's. It came in all sorts of colors and you would strap one end to your ankle and then it had a long strip of plastic or something like that and then a circle on the other end which would count how many times you went around.. If that makes sense! Does anyone know what it was called?
SPLASHFOTO: Are you talking about the Skip-It?? You can still buy them, but they are a little different. Going through my mom's attic, I found my old (original) Skip-It! You can find them on eBay if you look & wait as well. Good luck!
Can anyone tell me what the name of these dolls are? They are about 1 1/2' in height with very long hair and some sort of pendant style backpack for a necklace I assume. Thanks in advance.
-These are Fabulous Hair Friends
I'm looking for the name of theses small dolls that had plastic clothes that you could snap on and off. I loved these but can't rememer the name. I hope someone knows what I'm talking about.
I found them they were called Dolly Pops.
Kristin - Thank you!!! That's it! It's been bugging me! I remember having one when I was much younger... but the name completely escaped me! Thanks again!
To Luke - Your toys are called "Spinjas"
lazzdazed - I am pretty sure you are looking for "Super Naturals"
Ange - I think you are looking for "Questron." It was a black electronic pen like item that went with activity books.
Sarah - The computer thing I think you are looking for was a "Whiz Kid," made by V-Tech. They still make something today called Whiz Kid, but it is totally different. Search on ebay for vintage Whiz Kids.
The little robot that uses card inserts is called Alphie.
To Kathy 8-2-07. The name of the "etch-a-sketch" type toy you are looking for is SKEDOODLE. I used to have one and if you go to google and type skedoodle in you'll see it. I loved that toy :o)
My sisters used to have these two toys they fought over. One was a camera which turned into a bed the other was a piano which turned into a horse. We thin there were other toys in the series and wanted to know the names of them so they can have one each. We think they were around in late 80's or ealy 90's.
To CONDOR...you have ABSOLUTELY made my day!!! I just bought one off Ebay! Thank you SO much!!! =)
xoxoxoxoxo
You are welcome Ange! I am very glad I could help!
I am trying to figure out the name of these smaller figurines, they were about an inch to 2 inches tall and they were pink flexible plastic monsters, one looked like cousin it. does anyone no what I am talking about
Eric those are M.U.S.C.L.E. toys (little rubber monster type wrestlers) I think y our remembering.
The "Female gladiator type dolls with heavy makeup" are Golden girl dolls they came out before She-ra I hace a couple:) Do a google search on "lair on storm isle" that is a very comprehensive site about them.
I am tryin to remember what the toy was called , that had a small doll that had a very long wide dress, that covered a dome shaped dollhouse . It was from around 1982-1986----pretty sure it was Moppet's secret Doll House. My sis got it for xmas and I was so jealous!
Does anyone remember a girls toy set from the late 70's early 80's where you'd make your own perfume. My sister and I had one back then and I'm trying to find out what the set is called and who it's made by Please help-----Could it be Fresh N Fancy? They had a perfume set, as well as ones where you could make your own Cosmetics, I LOVED this!
Brie-I am looking for a space game I played as a kid I am pretty sure it was the '80s it had little colored space ships as the pieces they almost looked like penguins if you looked quick they were no bigger than an inch. Someone please help me! the cover of the box was dark with one of the ships whizzing past. Maybe it started with a G----I had a board game with little spaceships in the "80s It was called ZAXXON after the arcade game. I don't know if this is what u are talking about though. It has ships, some walls, bomb type things, and some robot looking things. I still have it .
Danngers one-- Not sure if anyone will remember there. I remember buying them at the checkout area in kmarts and similar stores. It had a fold out comic like background picture, and there was another sheet that had numerous pictures of people, animals, characters etc that you would place on the sheet where you wanted a particular character and use a pencil to draw or scrible on the back of it and it would make it stay on the sheet. kinda peeled off like fake tattoos do. If anyone knows, i would be eternally greatful!----These were called Rub'n'Play. They were like colorforms, axcept you transferred the pictures to the background with the included popsicle stick thing. I got these from Kmart and Bradlees stores. I only remember having a Sesame Street one.
Hey everybody, how yall doin? I'm looking for a stuffed doll that could transform into a purse, kind of how a popple works. It had a cord with it you could use as a purse strap, and I think there was a plastic jewel on it. Mine was pink and had yellow hair but I really just want the name of it, please!! Also, has anyone ever seen this thing that had a small doll's head attached to a string so you could wear it as a necklace, but the head was really a cap for a lipstick tube? It was real lipstick that was fruit scented and the doll's head would have a fruit for a hat or something. Mine was plum. Thanks for the help!
I think the robot was Alphie (spelling). Mine was blue and had sound and lights. Kind of an educational toy.
Does anyone remember a playset that came out maybe late 70's or early 80's, it had a few simple figures with an outdoor adventure theme with a van and a kayak and hanglider? If this kinda rings a bell, let me know.
does anyone know what the yellow soft doll looking thing is called? i have looked everywhere for the name! it has glow in the dark stars on it and its eyes look like they are shut in the dark due to glow in the dark stuff on the eyes!
OK I saw someone else way back posted about this toy and nobody's said anything since. Robin you aren't crazy. I had that 80s string a long toy. I don't remember if that was the name. But it was a plastic peg board and it had a storage box that held little pieces you could stick to the board (I remember bod eyes and lips). There was an oversized pencil that you drew with on the board (you drew in red string). I know for sure I got it for Christmas in 1st grade (Dec. 85). Does anyone else remember this. It's not the same string a long toy you find for therapy purposes that someone else suggested
Does anyone remember a toy bunny from the 80s that had a very small body with a HUGE head and feet...ears that were several feet long, you could wrap the bunny in them or shape them?
im thinking baby bunny or snuggle bunny or something...maybe im way off i was very young.
mine was pink with butterflies in the ears...
if i dont find out what she was i might die.
PLEASE

i'm trying to explain a ride-on toy car. I believe they came in red and yellow and made by Little Tikes I think. the pedals rotated in a circular motion and were the front axle. There was only room for one person and you steered with handles on the side. No steering wheel. If anyone knows where I can find one or has a picture, please comment back.
Megan: I am looking for the same thing! My sister has one and has called it "sparkles" her whole life. That might be what they were called. It was made by fisher price, I think. If I figure it out I'll post it.
Megan: Found 'em! They're called PJ Sparkles and they're by Mattel.
Ben - Do a search for "Adventure People" made by Fisher Price in the 70s. There are many different play sets, but this may be what you are looking for.
We are looking for 2 dolls. One was a ballerina and the other was a bride. Both had transforming dresses. If I remember correctly the dresses changed into nighties. If anyone can help please let me know. :0)
thanks Condor!
Does anybody remember the Supernaturals action figures? They all had masks and a torso shell that would come off and reveal their insides in a hologram. They were SWEET!
Does anyone remember toys called Quick Changers? I had four of them, they were cars that converted into buildings. I had a pizza truck, fire truck, police car, and a candy truck. All simply transformed into small buildings. I am not sure of the name Quick Changers though.
I have a small white car, about double the size of a hot wheels car. It was made by Kenner and is white with red stripes on top. The car can be taken apart in the middle. I have no idea what this was called. Any ideas?
I'm looking for the name of a board game. You'd play a snake and you had to gather eggs. It was two players and the winner was the one who'd gather the most eggs. The "snakes" were plastic ribbons with a magnet at the end that you'd move around by twisting two large knobs. The eggs were small metal balls that would stick to the snake's magnetic head to allow you to carry it back to your nest. It had that nifty abckground image with all sorts of hiding places for the lil egg-balls. Ours broke long ago because the plastic of the "snakes" dried up and cracked. But I sure loved that thing.
jamie- thank you so much!!!!!! i loved that doll.
I'm looking for a toy where you turn the doll at the top of this huge dome shaped dress and then opens up into a themed playset. It's not moppets secreat dollhouse. I had one when i was young in the 90's but i believe they arrived in the late 80's. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking for 2 things. First I'm trying to find a rag doll that had fairy tales printed on her and you could flip her face over and there would be more fairy tales and a picture to match the story. I think its from the 80's. And also a dazzle doll house that had a disco and I believe a beauty shop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I'm looking for 2 things. The first is a doll made by mattel in 1980. It has short blonde hair and wears a red w/ white polka dots & white eyelet trim dress & white bloomers. She stands behind a stroller. She walks while pushing the stroller while you are pushing. The other thing I"m looking for is a dollhouse. It is shaped like a mushroom.I think the top is orange w/ a yellow base. It has a small doll w/ short blonde hair and red w/ yellow straps dres,an orange rectangle table,a mushroom shaped lamp (top is yellow & base is orange). These are the few pieces I have to the house there were other pieces. I would like to find this house w' the accessories and the stroller to the doll mentioned above. This dollhouse would have been purchased between 1975 & 1984.
I found a year on the doll I mentioned in my last comment. The year is 1980.
I am looking for 2 things. The 1st is a doll wearing a red top w/ white polka dots & white trim & white bloomers. She has blonde hair and walks behind a stroller. She was made by mattel in 1980. I have the doll but not the stroller. I would like to know her name so I can try to find the stroller. The 2nd thing I am looking for is a dollhouse that looks like a mushroom. I think the top is orange w/ a yellow base. I have some of the accessories. I have the doll wearing a red w/ yellow straps dress that is marked 1980,the orange rectangle table, & the lamp (top is yellow & base is orange). I would like to find the house and any other accessories to it. my daughter plays with these toys as they are but, I would like to get her the rest of the accessories. I know she would really enjoy playing with them even more.
I have found the doll and stroller I have been looking for but, I am still looking for the dollhouse.
Hi, Does anyone remember an orange muscle car toy that had hidden weapons (sort of like transformer) and had number plates "mad dog"???? What set or toy series was it from?
i'm trying to remember a blue calculator type toy I used to have, asked questions + - X and division. would place an asterisk somewhere in the sum, and you had to work out the answer. it wasn't the yellow professor but was similar, I believe it also worked as a regular calculator. This was at some point in the 80's i'm guessing 80-85
I may be wrong, but it sounds like toys from the cartoon series, M.A.S.K.
Does anyone remember the Golden Books kids videos from the mid to late '80s ? They had Richard Scarry stories as well as different fairie tales. I'm specifically looking for a tape called 3 Mercer Mayer Stories. It features slightly animated version of 3 Mercer Mayer books ; Herbert The Timid Dragon, Just For You, How The Trollusk Got His Hat. Does anyone know where to find this tape ? I looked on ebay, but all the tapes there were way too expensive.
To Cav the blue and large calculator you are thinking of is called a Speak n' Math there was also one called a Speak n' Spell! My favorite "was one number in wrong place" game. Hope that helps!
Does anyone remember a toy castle (grey with purple turrets that removed) that had ramps which the various characters could roll down. The characters has ball bearings underneath and one of them was a knight, a witch and possibly king queen and princess? There was a hidden passage in the castle that lead to the dungeon?????? This is driving me up the wall.
The picture of the robot / bike is a go-bot possibly Cy-Kill, Leader of the Renegades and the final robot picture I think could be Fortress Maximus - Transformer and v expensive!!!!
Does anybody remember this kiddy toy that's shaped sort of like a clock with an arrow and a lever you could pull down? They all had different themes. Example: I had this animal themed one. If the arrow was pointing to a bird while you pulled the lever, a man's voice would say "The bird says TWEET! TWEET! TWEET!" Then, the arrow would spin around, and stop on some other random thing. Peter Griffin from Family Guy played with that toy once.
Andy, I rememeber that castle/dungeon! There was also a dragon that came with it and hid in the cave on the side. It's from FisherPrice, for the Little People. However the only picture I found of it is all colorful, not grey and purple... But it does have the trap in the tower that leads in the dungeon... I wonder if it's the same thing but only maybe they decided to change it's color? There was also a dragon that hid in the cave on the side of the castle, no?
Andy, I meant the old version of that castle for the old version of Little People... Obviously but just in case you research it and find the new one and think "that's not that I mean..." ;)
J. Terry from 4/15 if your still about try looking for Mega Force by Kenner
I'm trying to remember a toy my sister had in the early to late 80's. She thinks it was a barn and I thought it was more like a house or doll house. I know it was rather large (much bigger then toy barns nowadays) and it was plastic. I believe the roof was green and the house/barn part was red. I tried finding it on ebay but had no luck. I can't remember any animals/dolls/furniture that came with it. I think it had a pretty open layout, with like two floors. Any ideas?
Louve,
I remember the dragon now!!!! Never even crossed my mind until you mentioned it. It is driving me mad!
Hi, I am in desperate need to locate the name of a toy from the 80's (possibly late 70's). No one I know had one of these or remembers it. I had a toy that was like an animal dollhouse. It resembles a log and had a handle and inside carried the animals and their furniture. The log was not plastic, made of fabric but still held the shape of a log. They were Beavers or something similar. You could open the log and it rolled out and you could set up their house and even a yard area. The animals were small, maybe only 2-3 inches in height. I had a family of four, again I really think they were beavers but I'm not sure. The log also was not vary large. I know they are definitely not Sylvanian families. Any ideas?
Hollie- I have that toy somewhere. They were beavers and there is a book that went with it. I will try to find it or think of the name.
Hollie- I found them on this website under toys. They are called the Woodsey's by Fisher Price.
I had a small rubber like figurine that was just a big head and feet. She had blonde hair, pink face, and green shoes. She looked just like Little Miss Chatterbox except for the color of her shoes. Any ideas?
Hay there Alison, not only do I remember the puppet spider your describing I actually still own it. LOL
I dont think it had a specific name and until you mentioned it I didnt think anyone else had ever heard or seen one.
Hi, Im looking for an old game im thinking from mid to late 80's it has to do with animals and it came in a index card looking box (green box?) im not sure if it was just a card game or if there was more to it, but I would love to hear if anyone remembers this
I am trying to remember a doll that I have she has straight green hair and wears a green dress that is green and white striped or a sort of checker pattern, she has a bonnet of that same color as well and she has a white apron with a green leaf on it. I remember her features were painted on her, she is not Rainbow Brite or Strawberry Shortcake or Holly Hobby. What is she?
THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS. My sister had a figure in the80's of a blue posable doll/figure of a cute bug...kind like a lightning bug. I believe it had blue fake hair and the thing I remember is that its tush lit up so it was a kind of lightning bug. I THINK they even had a cartoon one time...like just a one cartoon special like rose petal or star faries did...any idea what this is? Pls email me at disneygirl74@sbcglobal.net
There were these insanely scary goblin-ish puppet-like toys in the 80's. There were 3 or 4 different ones (the white one is most vivid in my mind) and they basically looked like a head with tiny arms attached to their sides. You could put your hand inside them to move the eyes and the mouth. If anyone remembers what they were called, please help. This is driving me CRAZY!!
I just found them on this site! They're called Boglins and there's a lot more of them than I remember.
Hollie K I remeber something like that my aunt had an egg that had bunnies in it and they came with clothes and it zipped up. My sister also had one that was a barn with cows in it.
Disneygirl - This may be a longshot, but I had "Army Ants" which were blue with glow in the dark type butts. They had guns and look like you describe. Sorry if this is not them.
Ok guys here's one for you... Back in the early 80's I had these robot looking things that were prob. about 6 inches tall and the base of them was circular. They had masks and their arms were like robotic looking. I'm sorry that that is such a bad description but I've been trying to find these for years. 6 inches or so tall, round/circular base (might have even been hollow) and they were all robots with robot arms and face masks. Does anyone know what I'm talking about out there? If so PLEASE email me: gulfcoast352@yahoo.com thanks- Joel
I'm looking for this toy, I think it was late 80's early 90's. It was a puppet like thing that basically looked like a big ball of fur. You could stick your hand in it and I think it had a tongue that stuck out. I believe it came in 4 or 5 colors. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me! Anyone have any thoughts? Email me at shh1384@gmail.com
I'm looking for a toy gun I had in the late eighties, in the UK. It was a 'realistic' looking revolver of some kind, that used little rubber bullets that could be loaded into the cylinder, just like in a real gun, cocked, and fired. I remember it being very acurate, and very cool. Of course, my mum through it out. Hope someone can help. mynameisandy81@hotmail.com
I have the "Pop-A-Lot" set if somebody still is looking for one.
I also have the castle somebody was asking about
TIFFANY-
green box of animal cards... "WILDLIFE TREASURY".
I can remember my older sister getting a toy set of mermaids and it included a little rubber bird that came with the mermaids. The bird that we had was blue, but I think that I remember having seen one in red before. The bird was only about 2 inches long and I remember it having a round head, maybe an orange beak, arms out to the side, and a tail. It was my most favorite toy and I brought it to school and lost it on the playground back in the late 80s. Does anyone maybe know the name of the toy set? jbolemiss@gmail.com
JESSICA- small mermaids "SEA WEES"
I was hoping someone here might rememeber this toy from the 80's. It's driving me MAD trying to find it and remember the name! It was a touch portable gaming system tan in color. On the front it had several circles starting small and then expanding out It has different "sleeves" that you slid in the front of it and if you touched the different things on the sleeve it would make talk or make noise. Some of the sleeves i remember were, one on the solar system, one about a lost dog, a haunted house one, and one with all different kinds of instruments. I even remember one of the lines from the haunted house game "Tripped and fell, go back to the gate!" I want to say it was made by Mattel? Please help!! Thank you if you got any ideas!
Oh and it is not a Whiz kid. I had one of those to! LOL
I used to have the girl version of My Buddy, but I lost it in a fire a long time ago. I'm not sure if it's an 80's or a 90's toy.
LULU, your doll was "Kid Sister" - an 80s toy, yes. Came right on the heels of "My Buddy". Sorry to hear you lost her in a fire. :( She's gone where the good dolls go!
It's driving me nuts that I can't remember a doll playset that I had in the 80's. It had a doll with magnetic shoes that almost looked like platforms and you could stand her at the sink of her playset on a rug that was metal. there was a table and a almost like a cafeteria setup where you moved a tray down to get different foods from underneath plastic lids. I think she had other playsets too as far as I can remember like a bedroom and a bathroom. I have no idea what she was called but I'm sure she wasnt Barbie.
These are made by Fisher Price and are dated 1987. The soft figures squish to fit into the buggy and cage.
I think those are called Scrunch-Ems.
I was given this gorgeous plush bear in the late 80's early 90's that was yellow I think, he had a clear plastic nose with little butterlies on springs and glitter inside and when you squeezed her belly the glitter and butterflies fluttered. She was so cute then I stupidly gave her to a friend when I was 8! I'm desperately looking for another one. does anyone know what they were called?
LEXI, I know exactly what you're talking about but I can't remember the name. They were out around 89-90, I believe. They had several different varieties. I wanted one so bad!!! What were these stuffed animals, people?? Pastel plushy toys with clear plastic noses that had stuff inside that moved when you squeezed the tummy???
Lexi, they were called Nosey Bears, they are listed on this site. You can still buy them on ebay and other places.
I dont know if its a 80's toy or late 70's, but it was a cartridge that you put in a holder with a handle and you looked through the viewing hole and watched "movies" I found a gummy bears cartridge the other day and there was no name on it. I wanted to see if Ebay had it cause it was so cool. hahaha
TARYNN, you're not talking about the infamous VIEWMASTER, are you??? If the pictures you were looking at were all still-images and didn't move, I think you had/have a Viewmaster.
Hello everyone. I had this toy around '88 or '89 that you used Play-Doh to make ice cream sundaes, banana splits, etc. I'm fairly certain that it has shop (ice cream shop, sundae shop, etc.) in its name but I can't find it on here. Does anyone know what this called? I'd love to find an old one for my niece. Thanks!
That ice cream thing was a super dough toy not play doh. :) I had it too! And SZA the thing I Am talking about wasnt still. It was a yellow thing with a handle you held and turned the crank and the film strip in the cartridge would go through the viewer creating a motion picture. You know frame by frame motion. It also made a ticking noise as you turned the crank. I would love to find one again!
I FOUND IT!!!! hahahha its on this page Its a fisher price viewer nostalgiamanila.blogspot.com/2007/01/movie-viewer-your-first-movie-viewing.html
My husband and I were having a conversation tonight about a crafty toy we each used at children of the 80s. It was kind of like paint-by-number, but you used colored plasticy crystal like things, put it in the oven so they melted, let it cool, and then it was like a suncatcher or Christmas ornament. Does anyone recognize this and remember what it was called?? My husband thought it was Shrinky Dinks, but I know it's not those!!!
Make it and bake it!= Metal suncatchers with plastic crystals you have to bake.
I very vaguely recall some type of board game we had when I was very little. My mom didn't let us play with it much because you had to use water for part of it. I seem to remember a little white duck or something that sat in the water. Anyone?
We have these stuffed dinosaurs that had velcro that went across their backs and some felt that would cover up parts of them like their mouths, and hands and feet. What were they called?
Denise-
Was it Super Dough by Tyco? I think I had that same set.
MATT R --
You are looking for the Mattel Teach and Learn Computer! We have been on a quest to i.d. this system!
("you're in the moat")
Stace, you are the greatest! That's it!! Have you been able to find any pictures or websites on this? I used to love that thing when i was a kid! (glad to see I am not the only one who remember the quotes from it!)
I'm looking for something that I had as a child. it was about 12 inches and it was a tower that had different compartments each the marbles would start at the top and you would get them to go to the next level and so on. I believe there were 4 different levels it was about 3-4 inches wide. by 10- 12 tall and 3 to 4 deep. I thought it was fisher price but I can't find anything on it. or what it was called.
I'm looking for the name of those old doodle pads made from neon pink plastic film with white cardboard underneath. You would "draw" on it with a plastic stylus causing the film to stick to the surface below in whatever shape you drew. You would erase by lifting the film. Press too hard and you've ruined the whole thing for good! It was like a super ghetto magnadoodle that I believe was mostly given out as party favors. Ringing any bells?
Sasha, the classic toy that you are looking for was called the "Magic Slate"
I'm trying to think of the name of a mid 80's toy. It was like a fire fly and when you squeezed them the tail end lit up. There were lot's of them...some had cars..I cannot find them anywhere!!
Nicole, are you thinking of Gloworms? There was a plush in a nightcap and little vinyl figures.
Nope. I remember Glo worms...These toys had poseable arms and legs. They were like a firefly or some sort of bug. When you squeezed them they lit up..I believe they were a purple color. This id def going to kill me..hahaha..I had them in about 1984 or 1985.
Thank you for this site! I went thru the whole index of toys...the toy I was thinking of were the Blinkins!!! WOW! I'm so happy that I found them!!
spottedfeather-you are looking for the toy string racer I believe. it was neon green with two pulleys above it hope this helps.
For the longest time I've been trying to think of the name of the toy my sons used to play with in tthe 80's. They were theme based soft plastic clingy things. They stuck on a black backboard and the child would pull each character or item off that back board and make scene or designes by sticking them on another backing sheet. They were plastic film material. Each piece had a grooved in place to put it back on the original black backing board. What the heck were these clinging things???
MARILYN, are you talking about COLORFORMS by chance (or a variation thereof)?
I posted a picture about this toy awhile back and am wondering if anyone remembers it. You hold the metal ring with one hand and spin the discs with the other hand, once you gt them going use both hands to walk the big ring around and the small discs will keep spinning. The orange disc is printed with Nickelodeon, but I do not know what this item is called.
The little green monkey was called a MonkeeKee, don't know if I spelled it right though!
I left this request on the 70's board as well because I'm not sure if it was hand me down toy.
I had a portable doll house more like a small case that would open up and have 2 different rooms inside. The furniture was affixed inside and had stickers (like many barbie houses) that were for details.
I am not sure if it was a Barbie product or not. I always thought that it wasn't barbie due to the smaller scale in size.
Does anyone remember this toy?
when i was small (mid 80's), i had an old "fashion plate" type toy (a garage sale find even then) that i CANNOT remember the name of. it was a doll body & a plate that closed over it. the plate had the shape of the doll body cut out, and you could lay scraps of fabric over the dolls body & close the plate to make her new outfits. i remember spending hours with bits of material making different "clothes". i want to say it was a barbie, but i could be off there. it was not the type of fashion plates that you color though, i had those too. i think my daughter would love it & i am sad i don't still have it somewhere. anyone know what it's called? my google-fu is failing me.
I found a box of toys in my parents attic and one of them is going to really annoy me. I cannot remember what it is called. It is a about 2 inches tall. There is a ball for a head that fits into a body and the one that I have has a little skate board that can attach to its feet. You could switch the heads, bodies and boards between the different toys. It says parker brothers on the bottom and 1985. I think they were called goofballs, but I really can't remember.
I'm trying to find a toy I had when I was little -I probably had them in the mid to late 80s. They were cute, kind of chubby plastic dinosaur toys that were fuzzy. They were about 6-8" tall. I swear they had the word Heart in the title but I can't be positive. I just saw a knock off one at a thrift store the other day - it blew my mind I hadn't thought of those guys in ages. Can anyone help?
Oh yes, and they were brightly colored. I know one I had was yellow.
I have three of the action figures MARISSA asked about back in September, which I've had since olden days, but I also don't know what they are or where they're from. Two are in blue/white uniforms (not identical though), while the third is in all orange. They look a bit more like astronauts than military, but they are indeed roughly 2 inches tall with magnetic feet. On their lower back, they're all marked "©86 CII", but I can't find a reference to CII anywhere.
I take it back. I found this page early on in my Googling, and a bit farther down the page, I found what I needed. Marissa, if you're out there, they're "STARCOM: The U.S. Space Force" action figures from Coleco. More information at http://www.nemesisworld.com/starcom/figures.html
PLEASE HELP ME! The toy was a little doll in a big plastic dome shaped dress. You could then take part the dress and turn it into an ice cream shoppe. and there were others like it, like a hair salon, ski place, etc. please help me!
DAYNA - Nerfuls?
The purple haired creature in the picture (hasbro 1985) is a SNUGGLE BUM I believe.
I am also looking for the koala figurines (very small). Each one came with a house that was something like a teapot, TV, a little shop, coffee shop etc. They all had little baseball hats, and their heads wwere the only moveable part. Thanks!
I am also looking for an egg from Mork From Ork, late 70's-early 80's that opened and had gross greenish yellow goo in it, and a little egg plastic figurine in it. A really cute little egg alien. I cannot find this anywhere!!!!
EMMA JUNE 24TH, 2008
The toy you are looking for is Miss Party Surprise. You can see pictures of them at http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_MissPartySurprise.htm Hope that helps, cause I was looking for them too and it was driving me crazy!
HELP! I am looking for the name of a toy made in the 80's. The toy was about 1-2 inches tall, plastic, and featured different animals like cheetahs, horses, and giraffes in all kinds of bright colors and styles. Each one had a fur tail. Each one came with a blue or pink clip-on bow for the tail and a tiny brush. I think the toy started off as only horses and then expanded. Does anyone remember the name of this toy? Email me at pledgeturnprestige@sbcglobal.net with any ideas. Thanks!
I've been trying to remember what I line of toys I owned were from. They had these lighter like switches built into the backs of them, that made sparks that lit up behind a piece of plastic on the front. One looked like a fishman, and I think was named Neptune, and another was this white skinned wizard looking guy, I think was named Vizor. I think there was also a giant bee, and a blue skinned guy with fangs. They also came with these creatures that looked like the Gremlins from the movie, except they were colors like blue, red and yellow. I can't get Google to spit out anything about them, so I'm trying here.
I'm trying to figure out this toy--I think it's from the 80s. It's some kind of wooden box that shows slides of movies (Fox and the Hound) and it has sound. That's all I know. My friend is desperately trying to figure out the name...can anyone help?
PLEASE HELP!! I am looking for the name of a purple horse. She has pink hooves. She came with 3-4 little critters that where pastel colored. (one was pink, and another green) The critters looked like rabbits with long hair. They had little barrettes that you could attach to the horse’s hair. She came with a saddle pad and a turquoise bridle. I do not believe she is a Fashion star filly because she doesn’t have a star. I think she had a little person that also had the little critters (sold separately). Please help. Thank you.
I'm not sure if it was from the 70's or early 80's, but I used to have this toy that looked like a computer. I remember that you could wind it up, and the screen would scroll through a series of animated images (the same technology used to make alternating images on shoes and backpacks and whatnot), and then that was it. I thought it was so cool back in the day.

***LAURIE*** the toy with the lever and the arrow that spins and makes animal sounds like "tweet tweet tweet!", sounds to me like a (not sure of the name) "see n' say". i hope this is what you were looking for!! :)
***NIKA*** the popple-like purse toy with a jewel sounds like it could be, a sweet secrets PURSE (yes, regular sweet secrets are small, hard plastic lockets but they eventually came out with soft transforming purses) ...i have one with a pink dotted fabric dress and yellow yarn hair and there was also a blue calico print kitty and i think a white/brown/black puppy dog with a yellow dress ...i hope this could be what you're looking for!
***JONINA*** thank you so much for letting me know that you remember the ivory colored jewelry box with the pink heart-shaped key (and the accessories, a snap-together plastic pearl bracelet/necklace and a plastic nail polish bottle). thanks to this WONDERFUL site i found out that it did exist and it was made by fisher price! i am off to look for one to buy and, i thank everyone who takes time out to help on this site - it really means a lot to us who need help! love, de

Anyone remember a stuffed monkey that when you squeezed its belly its ears spun?
Ange!! Thank you so much!! I am so happy to know the names of those critters. This was my favorite horse from when I was younger. Thank you
On July 15th Samantha posted about a bunny toy from the 80s that had large feet and a huge head. It also had really long bendable ears.
Did anyone remember what these bunnies were called? I had two. One was peach colored with purple on the inside of the ears and the other was an offwhite color with pink inside the ears I think.
I really wanted to know what these bunnies were called but I didn't see a response. does anyone know?
Samantha, did you find out?
whoops, i meant June 15th, not July.
My brother had a soft toy that I'm trying to find. It had a really long beige tail, a reddy/orange fur around a beige face/body and it may have had small wings on its back. I keep thinking fuzzle something (but it isn't a wuzzle) Could anyone help, it'd be a top xmas present for him.
When I was 5 (1981) I had these plastic dolls that had snap-on clothes. They were about 3" tall and were flat backed. I would love to find out their name so I can try to buy some for my daughter- I had so much fun playing with them. Thank you.
ok, when I was very young (5ish...i.e. 1982), I got this 12"-24" rubbery green monsterman with a orange belt. He was filled with like a foam and his belt was hard plastic. The gimmick was that if you unscrewed the a thing on the back of the belt, you could squeeze him and flaten him. If you rescrewed the back part in, he stayed squeezed. If you opened it up and lef tit that way, he regained his original form. What is this thing?? I remember it very vividly.... Email me at jnjholliday@yahoo.com
Weare138, ive been looking for this toy too...i think this is it, im pretty sure: http://www.ne.jp/asahi/techno/drome/toybreathblasters.htm i brought this toy into school one day in a ziplock bag to show some of my friends, and i think i pulled it out to show someone and accidentally squeezed it in the coatroom! it was the most horrible smell ever and everyone was freaking out and i got in trouble. i think it was the ms morningbreath. so gross....
JEANNIE = I believe you're looking for "Dolly Pops".
JEANNIE-- The plastic, flat-backed dolls with snap on clothes were called "Dolly Pops". They were made by Knickerbocker. I still have mine and I played with them for hours when I was little! Here is a link to pics:
http://www.dollinfo.com/dpops.htm
I got a little toy only about five years ago or so that was a little broccoli boy. YOu squeezed his little vinyl body and a whiff of broccoli smell came out. I think the little boy looked like he was going to puke. I wonder if this is the updated version of the toys Weare138 and xgat are referring to.
The one near the end with the beard is a He-Man figure - Have to check on the specific name though
i used to have a small doll less than 10" tall that came with a bicycle, cooler with tiny popsicles, and backpack. she had orange/red hair (i think it was originally in a braid that I undid - then she had really puffy wavy hair). she was flimsy but her face, hands, and shoes were plastic/rubber and her hands were shaped to click over the handle bars of the bike. her shoes fit in to the pedals so that when you pushed the bike forward, it would look like she was pedaling, and the cooler clicked into the back. i wish i could find it! please help if you have any idea! i don't think it was any particular line of dolls, but i could be wrong.
I was looking thru 'unidentified' toys, and comment on the image from Michelle (from Australia). I believe the toy is a "Munchee-chee" (sp?) I had a few of them with darker brown hair and you could put their thumbs in their belly buttons. Hope I could help!
I don't know if someone already answered this (too many comment posts to read them all) but the 3 female action figure type dolls look like She-Ra dolls.
Actually the three dolls are a somewhat generic version of She-Ra dolls. They were called 'Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones' The one in the middle is Golden Girl with a diamond type stone. The others were all named after gemstones...sapphire, ruby, ect. I had most of them and added them to my extensive She-ra collection. They are a bit bigger than the She-ra dolls.
I have a plastic stove and sink set with Sesame Street characters on it.I have been searching the internet all night looking for another one or for anyone who also might of had one.They are mainly green and about 3 feet high or so. They are two seperate pieces, and they have doors that open on the bottom. The sink from what I can remember actually works and there are cardboard pictures on the back...one possibly Big Bird. They are probably late 70's or early 80's. They're in mom's attic and I havn't looked at them in a very long time. Any info in appreciated :)
BUZZY THE COOKIE CUTTER!!!!! It is like a gov't cover up. I cannot even find one picture of the toy that cut graham crackers into shapes and only two mentions online. HEKP.....I am losing my mind. Thanks. My email wv_scofflaw@yahoo.com
Did anyone have the white Play-Doh stove, and you turn the burners on and it looked like they were glowing, and it made sizzling sounds when you put the pan on it? I'd love to have that again!
I am looking for a yellow toy that had red yarn and you could ride it. I called him "Ollie." Does anyone know who made it or if i can still find one.
I'm trying to remember a toy that was like a computer had a led screen and came with booklets with multiple choice questions but you didnt have to use them if you wanted. It had mini game like math and spanish to name a few. The only reason i'm good with numbers is because of this toy. Somebody please help me!
Jessica who mentioned the Wish World Kids back in May, THANKYOU so much! I've been on the net for hours trying to find the name of these dolls and it's been driving me insane!!!!
Michelle from australia that looks like a monchhichi
Red Robot 'Remco 84'? That's a Go-Bot!
Does anyone remember a toy "tree monster" from maybe the late 70's early 80's? They had glowing eyes. Screaming like face too.
Vanessa (February 28, 2008)- This is a tricky one! I no longer have the actual flower pots but I do still have the dolls and the little watering pitchers. Marked on the dolls and the pitcher it says "BUDDY L" and Hong Kong. So the company is the Buddy L Toy Company but the strange thing is they pretty much only make toy steel trucks. Maybe the manufacturer name will give you some place to start, even though I still haven't been able to find anything! "I've been trying to find a toy that I had in the 80's. It was a flower pot and you water it and then a doll was in the flower, the whole thing was plastic and the doll looked like a kiddle."
I spoke too soon! LUV BUDS! http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_Luv Buds.htm
Im looking for the name of some small figures, in the hope of buying some from somewhere. The figures were about 1 1/2" tall hard plastic and had notches around the bases. they stood on a circular podium about 1 1/2" tall too that was hollow. around the base was numbers for strength, agility and the like. Inside the base was small skulls that were placed on the notches on the figure when you won a roll off. There were many different ones all different colours, when you fought against other figures you would win their skulls so you knew who you'd beaten. I think they were from the 1990's.
I'm trying to fiqure out the name of this riding toy that I've got from when I was little. It's yellow and is curved up kinda like a banana. It has red orange yarn for hair and big eyes on the front. I always called him Ollie, but I don't know if that's his name. All my cousins after me played with him, and now my second son plays with him. They sure don't make em like they used to. If you know what this is please let me know!
Oh, my gosh, Tracy! I just uploaded a submission for 'Ollie' to 'In the 70s' website. I, too, had an Ollie and loved him (her?). Rode it long past the time when I was big enough to fit properly. Ollie was peculiar indeed, but oh-so-lovable. I am submitting a photo to In the 80s now of me with Ollie at Christmastime, 1979. Go, Ollie, go!
hey SZA I couldn't find your photo.what did you put it under? Do you know who Ollie was made by?
TRACY, I don't know who made Ollie. :( I think it will take a couple days for the photo & product description I submitted for "Ollie" to show up on the websites. So many fond memories of pushing around the house on that strang yellow thing ...
I'm trying to find a set my daughter had when she was young. Probably late 80's maybe early 90's. It had a stuffed turquoise colored calico horse with a cassette tape. I think the horse's name was Dobbin. The tape had an old lady telling a story. There was a song called "Gimmies don't get" It taught kids not to be so greedy. I'd like to find it for my Grandkids. I believe there were other animals with different stories as well. Does anyone remember these?
I have been searching for this toy online for years, HELP!!!!! I got it early to mid 80's. I t was a yellow/orange plastic professor owl that stood about a foot tall. His chest was a chalkboard that opened to a storage space with a blue pull out drawer to store the chalk brush. On the outside his one wing was bent to hold a cup for the chalk. He had removable glasses that perched on his beak. He had a blue plastic grad like/professor cap non removable with a clock on top that you could move the hands on. I am just so frustrated, I don't remember the company name or toy name, please help!!!! email me at rxmac@live.ca And hey, anyone remember Rose Petals Place dolls?
Like all of you, I too had a couple toys where the name escapes me today. I went to retrojunk.com and looked up toy commercials from 70's and 80's. I was not able to find all my answers, but it sure brought back memories of other toys.
Maybe someone can help me: In the '80s, I bought a toy at an airport gift shop. The base was about 10" sq. It was a freeway with little cars, maybe an inch long. The cars were caught at the bottom and once they reached the top, they sped down thru a few curves. Also, there was a penguin toy, about same size as the other. The penguins were moved by magnets. Any ideas? My grown son has asked me about these two toys, and this ol' brain remembers, but not enough to look it up! Thanks.
I used to have this set when I was little that had different things you could do to bread. It included 4 different toast stampers that were Gonzo,Piggy, Kermit, and Fozzie. I can't remember what is was called, and there doesn't seem to be any listed anywhere on the internet. If anyone knows what it was called or where I can find one, will you please email me at amazonjunkie@comcast.net? Thanks so much!!!
Jump rope thingy. I used to have this jump rope, but instead of holding onto handles at each end, the ends were connected to this bar thing. You would move the bar in front of you the whole time, and that would cause the rope to spin, if if you were really good, you could jump over the bar itself. Anyone remember this? I don't know what it was called.
My sister and I had this electronic desk think that you could put different cd shaped record games into and play the games by touching a screen that you slid pictures onto. It was probably during the early half of the eighties?
Jeannie--I remember that penguin toy. You can still buy them, probably a remake of the original. They call it "Penguin Helter Skelter". Here is a link I found on one:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001D1IRQO?smid=A1IJ9RYXWM7GX5&tag=nextag-toys-mp-delta-20&linkCode=asn
I'm not sure about the cars one. Hope this helps!
I found out more info on the above toy. There are many variations: Penguin Chase, Dalmatian Chase, Jumping Dolphins, etc. They have some for sale on Ebay.
Does anyone remember these? My sister ant I are trying to remember the name of a doll that was simular to a Barbie, but she had slits in her sides- you took material swatches, and a tool that camw with her, and you pushed the cloth pieces in to make fasions for her.
Hello all, not to interupt, but does anyone remember a giant strawberry toy bin? It was red and green plastic and the top came off. I have been looking everywhere! It might have been strawberry shortcake . . .? . . Help!!
I noticed a toy description on this website under "Pumpkin House": "it was a house in shape of a pumpkin, which opened up and had a lift to the two floors and moat round the outside came with people, horses and furniture." Does anyone know anything about this toy? I would like to know who the manufacturer is. Thanks!!
Joanna, I am also looking for the toy you mentioned (old woman in a shoe). Have you been able to find this toy, or any information on it?
Hi everyone! I'm looking for the same toy as "anthony g. - December 04, 2007 - hey there were these action figures in the late 80's or early 90's that were able to stretch long distances. there bodies were black in color and they had snap on armor that made them playable? there entire body was elastic. one of the main figures had a like a red helmet head? if anyone can help out really appreciate." In my case it had a blue helmet head, blue armor like a ninja. Thanks!
Hi! I'm looking for the 1980's woodsy log house with the little squeak squirrels (papa-mama-baby)cute little roll -velcro log home. My daughter had one she absolutely loved, but it was ruined after a serious accident I was in. Trying to find one to buy. If someone knows where I could find one to buy please email me at jnc_pttn@yahoo.com
I've been trying to remember the name of these toys I used to play with a lot as a kid. They were plastic and circular and there was a gem in the middle of them. When you opened them up you could unfold two little feet and a head and they became little dolls. While closed you could snap them into different things. I remember there being a brush and there was a car too. Does anyone remember them as well? If so please let me know. YIM = gotcrabbypatties

Jan - Could be The Woodseys made by Fisher Price?
do a web search for thisoldtoy dot com has lots of Fisher Price toy descriptions and pictures.
Ok, I'm looking for two things
1. Does anyone know where I could find a Little Tikes Bunny Rocker? I've found a couple of the Bunny shelves, but no rockers. It was a hard plastic blue-gray rocking chair shaped like a rabbit.
2. I had a small set of dolls when I was little that I can't find the name of. The dolls were about 3 or 4 inches tall, each with different colored hair & each one came with a little instrument, they were a band. The bodies were hard plastic with a painted on bathing suit I think, and the hair was not plastic. I remember one had blue hair & one came with a tiny drum set that was orange and may have been see-through
Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help!
When I was a tot, we had these tiny dolls --plastic (I remember one had a yellow bod & pink hair) and one of them had a little house inside a plastic oreo and the other's house was inside a plastic hot fudge sundae. It's driving me NUTS that I can't remember what those dolls were called. I'd love to find 'em online... Anyone remember these???
I am trying to figure out what these were called: they were little cans (I think a set of 4) that when you flipped them over, they made animal sounds. Even my mother and aunt can't remember what they were called. I don't even know it they are still made.
Hi Andy (July) I have just been googling looking for that Castle! It was my favourite play item and I would love to find one for my little girl, did you manage to source??
I'm looking for the name of a game. It was a red box with yellow in the middle which was like a sheet of plastic with different shape in it (hezagon, triangle etc) You pushed the yellaw part down so it locked and stayed down and the time starts which is a ticking that you can hear. The aim of the game is to put all of the little red shaped into the right holes before the time ran out. When the time ran out the yellow bit popped up making all the shaped jump up too. Any ideas what this was called?
SOPHIE, you're tallking about the game 'PERFECTION'. It should be on this site. Look for 'SUPERFECTION', too ...
I am looking for a sticker maker I had as a young girl. It had to have been in the 80's. It was shaped like a house, I believe it had a pink roof and came with round green templates that you could rub a black crayon over and get the design and then it had colored pencils that you could color them with. (it came with blank round white stickers to do this with) I have been looking everywhere for this. Any help would be appreciated.
I had a toy in the 80's that was a family of little chipmunks, I think. They all lived in a little cloth log and had tiny plastic table and chairs. Does anyone remember this and what it was called?
AbbaZabba--it is a family of squirrels called the Woodseys. It is made by Fisher Price. I still have my toy with all the pieces and the storybook it came with! I remember the little boy squirrel's name was "Milkweed" and there was a mom and dad squirrel as well. You could put your fingers in their arms to make them move. They made a squeak sound when squeezed also. I think this toy is harder to find now. I kept mine because I loved it so!

Help! My friend and i were just talking about childhood and i was talking about a toy i had that was like a big orange sled (don't know how else to describe it) but it had big black wheels in the middle on both sides and you'd sit in it and turn the wheels with your hands to move around. I have absolutely no idea what it was called or who made it. Anybody?
I had a toy that was sort of a Lite Brite knock off. It was a black screen of holes with a tiny plastic bubble in each hole, and when you poked the bubble, it would light up (where ever you poked would light up.) It came with a little wheel that had a handle on it and the wheel had spikes on it so you could roll the wheel over the bubbles and light up a line. This was my favortie toy, I used to play with it under my bed where it was dark. I wish I could find one now, but no one remembers this toy. Do any of you out there know what Im describing?
Ange was looking for something back in March that I think I have found! The pen and book set was called Quetron. It was a pen that took a battery that lit up green if you answered right and red if you didnt. I have been able to find the books on ebay but no such luck with the pen! My best friend had one of these and I loved to play with it!
Aeowyn, you're talking about LIGHTS ALIVE!
my brother and i had a set of building toys that was clear plastic and round.they snaped together to make different things.some had gears and others had motors inside of them.i think it came with wheels.early to mid 80's i belive.if anybody could remember the name of the set it would help me out alot.thanks
SZA,
OH MY GOODNESS!!! You're right! I looked it up and that's it! I cannot believe I finally found this toy. I have been searching for it for years, and was beginning to think that mabey I had just imagined it :) Thanks so much!
The yellow bunny/puppy looking stuffed animal that has stars that glow in the dark and the eyes glow in the dark...that is a PJ Sparkle/Sparklin doll. I found two listed on eBay for $75 and one for $100. Funny thing is- I have five! lol

Sweet Secrets
My previous post on 11/24. I finally found what I was looking for in case anyone else is looking, just by chance happened to come across one on ebay, it was made by Tomy and was called the "sticker shoppe"
Thanks for all the other good memories though!
Hi - im looking for a toy I had in the 80's. It was almost like a tablet that you inserted different sheets into it, and you could press them and it would ask questions/say words...etc. It was educational. Any ideas??? thanks!
im trying to identify a toy. it was a skull and shoulders and you could make the eyes and mouth move and you could pour yelliw goop into it and it would ooze out of the openings.
any ideas?
------ (I am looking for a disney toy from the 80s. It was a musical popcorn stand and you would turn it on it would light up, play music, and pop a few balls of popcorn. I believe it had a disney character like goofy or mickey holding the rail of it. Did anyone else have this toy?

Has anyone ever heard of My Private Phone?? I had one in 1984 or 1985 - I was crazy about this thing and no one ever knows what I am talking about,,,
I am trying to find info on a toy from when I was five. It consisted of a set of tubes, panels, wheels, and locking clips to lock tubes together. When i was five it was large enough for me to stand in. If you can help me put a name to this toy from my past that would be great... My head hurts from trying to remember.... please help. Thank you.
In the 80's I had a block box that fit on the dash of the car. It had several buttons and lights. When you pushed one of the buttons, a different "gun" sound would be produced (grenade, machine gun). It was a sort of get your frustrations out while driving - anyone know the name of this thing
Hi there! Trying to find the name of these little dolls, maybe 2 inches tall, that lived in plastic ice cream sundae house, or a cookie? Sound familiar? Anyone? I'm racking my brain!
I am looking for an 80's hairpiece/doll they used to be about an inche big little ponytail holder with 12 inch hair that you could braid in with your own hair. i think they only came in pink blue and purple , also i think they might have been mermaids? please help
Hi everyone I have been looking for a toy that I had as a kid, it was a stuffed mouse that was gray and had yellow feet and a big nose, they stood about 6 in. tall. They came out in the 80's. I have been looking for them all my life. I used to have 5 of them but I lost them on a Battleship in SC when I was 3 or 4 yrs. old. I am now 29 and still looking. Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about and could tell me where I could find them?
Happy Holidays! Christmas shopping actually got My sister and I trying to identify a toy we remember in the late 80's, possibly very early 90's. It was this big blue, somewhat round thing, with a handle, and a pen attached by a curly blue chord. The shape of the bed kind of reminds me of the car charger for my cell phone, very round and slanted from the base. In my memory, you would slide the pen across the book and the big blue thing would talk. I was pretty young, so I don't know how it actually functioned, but the physical image is pretty clear. My search engine results haven't even come close, so if anyone can solve the mystery, that would be great. Thanks!
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I remember having this toy when I was younger (early 80's). It was a farmyard type of layout, probably no more than 50cm squared). It came with several figures, like a cow, sheep and farmer, and a little truck. What I remeber is the figures we started at the top and the sort of rocked their way down the paths and into the truck at the bottom. If anyone knows the name of this toy then it would be much apreciated, am afraid that I can't think of any other information at the moment.
this was a learning game i had in about 1986 or 1987. it hooked up to the t.v. and was square with four different colored square buttons on it.
SARA, I believe you are thinking of CUTIES. The Coolest Ultra Tiny Individuals on Earth. I still have mine in the attic, but I remember the orange drummer. Myself I've been looking to name two dolls I have, 5 or 5 inches tall, like Glamour Gals with combable blonde hair, but painted on spacesuit types. Their feet are like spaceship stands, and they originally had little pod spaceships that could lock around them. Any ideas?
i hope someone can help... I am trying to think of the name of a toy i had when i was little.It was a educational toy from the late 1980's to early 1990's that was white and it had a cassette player and there was a place for storage to keep your tapes and books in it. then the book propped up on the lid of the storage compartment. there was also 4 different color buttons (red,blue,yellow,and green)that when u read the book they had choices that u could pick when u pressed the butttons. PLEASE HELP! It has been driving crazy trying to think of the name of it!
i found it finally!! it is a talk 'n play!
I need help. When i was a kid i had a toy that looked like a television set. It was about 12 inches tall maybe, so it wasnt big but wasnt tiny. It had these slides that you put in and it projected them on the screen. They would move in the tv...The one i remember having was Superman. Does anyone know what this toy was called??
Jen, I had one... think it was a Show 'n Tell... there was a strip of white slides that you'd put in the top, and they'd show on the screen... that's all I remember
Rich-Thanks so much, i looked it up on this website and you are exactly right. I loved that toy!
Athanasia = We also have the pear - there was 3 of them, from Avon my mum informs me, she was called 'Miss Pear' and the round one 'Charley Barley' but we are stumped with the mushroom boys name!!! Any Info, anyone??? It is driving us mad, thanks
I believe the construction set from the 80's you're looking for is Construx. They had several versions regular (white beams/blue connectors), Military (green beams/black connectors) and Construction (black beams/yellow connectors).
Princess311: i think that white toy is called el-roy *sp* it came with cards that you put in the square and on the side were buttons to press. I had that toy and it was one of my favorites!
I had this toy/game when i was little and they used to have a show on Nickeloden*sp* with Bill Cosby. The pointer thing was yellow and when you rolled over an object it made a noise. It was something like a matching game. I can't remember what it was called let alone what the show was called....HELP RR33NV@hotmail.com if you know of what it is called.
I found it the game was called Picture pages and Bill Cosby had a tv show called picture pages. thanks to the link retrojunk.com
I had a kitchen set that had a fridge, a sink and a stove with lots of miniature items made in yellow plastic to go with it. This was just not any kitchen set though - the fridge was shaped like a bear (yellow/orange), the sink was shaped like an elephant (pink) and the stove was shaped like a lion (red/beige). I'm not making that up, I swear! I have no idea who would have made though. My email is calzephyr@gmail.com
hi guys, i know a few of these items i've had growing up..the purple haired doll mellisa had a picture of is a doll i had when i was about seven, she came in a high-top gym shoe..i lost her at church the dy fter i got her:0( i've thought of her ever since lol..there's another picture of 5 inch baby dolls with soft faces..i've been searching for these for over ten years, i'm so glad to get a glimpse of them again, did anyone figure out what they are?
Looking for a teddy bear made in the 80s. Near 89 I believe. Brown with purple yarn hair and a purple nose shaped like a heart. Heats on the body with a white background and brown arms and lets. The shoes were purple Mary Janes, they did not come off. Please help!!
The little animal/robot toys are battle beasts
hey everyone! I am going crazy trying to figure out the name of a talking stuffed dog that was given to me 20-22 years ago. If you tickled his feet he would giggle and say "it tickles", If you press his ears he would say "ouch, it hurts,it hurts" and if you patted his back he would say "burp, oh excuse me." I still have him and sleep with him every night but he no longer works. Oh and the back of his head splits open and that is where the battery compartment is.
Please help me figure out the name of a collection of mini robot toys I used to play with back in the mid-to-late eighties. These were mini robots didn't transform, were all the same and came in different colors. They were about 3 inches tall perhaps? You could link them together: the head of one could connect to the feet of the other, or the head could fit in the hole on the chest of another. There was also a hole in front of the legs that allowed the head of another robot link to it, and maybe even another hole in each shoulder. Doing this along with other parts, you could build larger robots or vehicles. The kits came with wings, cockpits, fists and heads for building jets, larger robots or other vehicles. One thing that sticks out in my mind is that the little men that go in the cockpit pieces were just tiny silver, immovable pieces. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I'm looking for two seperate things. One are little rock like things that you put in water and shake them up and they come out as jewels. The other is sort of a tea party set that was 2 cups, 2 plates, and a pitcher and it had a picture or Barbie on it and the cups and pitcher turned pink when cold liquid was put in them. Any ideas?
Melissa, the little pink doll in the middle had bubbles in her. I remember I dropped the lower half of mine down the sink. Sorry, I don't remember their name.
Does anyone know what the 80's toy was where you would sketch clothes on femaile typr figures by scratching with a pencil over various plasticsquares with dresses or skirts etc on them. I beleive you would place the slots down from the heads to shirts to bottoms then place a paper on top and scratch. believe it was out in the 80's and it was pink. Please help the name is driving me crazy!!! Thanks! :) Please email me @ kitty13x@yahoo.com
kristina jennifer...i think it was called Fashion Plates. i'm not 100% sure, but that's what came to mind.
i'm looking for a castle - i still have the princess that came with it. she's a little smaller than a barbie doll and her hair is blond with a few colored highlights. she has a purple horse, and there are also little colored fairy-animal things that had long hair and you could clip them all over the castle. any ideas??
Kristina Jennifer- Yes, they were Barbie fashion plates, called Rub & Color. I had them s well.
I am trying to figure out a Barblie "like" doll that I hate, that has a white lace bodice and long pink shirt. She has pink heart earrings and white lace tights on. There is also a cameo on the choker on her neck. She has blond hair. Thanks!
okay they used to sell in the 80's a stuffed animal that had a clear plastic belly and it had candy inside does any one remember what they were?
I'm looking for a toy and I don't know what to call it which is hindering my search. It was a little plastic/rubber animal on a spring, that you would suction to a surface; then you push the animal down, loading the spring, and eventually the force would be too great for the suction and the animal would unexpectedly pop up. Do you know what this is? Better yet, do you know where I can find these? Thank you!
Heather & Linsey -- I had the little plastic bears that lived in the appliances, too! I was just searching for info on them and that's how I found this page. I had the teapot, television, alarm clock, blender. Some of the bears had hats and some had bows. I remember some of them were a darker brown than others, and their faces rubbed off pretty easily with play. If either of you have any info, please email me: janet((at))mail((dot))com
I've been looking forever for these - stuffed animals from the 80's with little like lockets in their stomachs and then you got a key and could open and just store stuff in them...anyone???
My sister and I have been racking our brains for countless months trying to come up with the name of a series of tiny plastic dolls with realistic neon hair and they were bright colors and came with plastic furniture in odd zig-zag shapes. We believe they were Mattel because we used to buy them at the Mattel store with the Barbie dolls. They would have come out in the late 80s or early 90s. Please help if you know what they are called. My sister thinks they were Jazzies or something similar... Please submit a link showing a picture if you think you remember these. Thanks.
Karley, I think what your reffering to is called a Keyper. There are a few pictures of them on this site.
ROBO-HUNTER! I have that same dog. I think it was made by Kenner but there isn't any information out there about him. There is one other person trying to find information with me. I will try to keep you updated. I can't read the tag on mine anymore...can you read the tush tag on your's? Do you have any pictures of the box or anything? I received mine back on Jan 28th of 87 (I just turned 1). I have been trying to find information on this plush for years. I had some at one time, but I don't remember what happened to it. Alas, keep me posted!
I have been searching for a doolI had in the early 60's they were really little and came in a coke or pepsi bottle that was plastic and 4 or 5 inches long. They are similar to little kiddle dolls? Please help!!!!! I am going crazy
Thanks Jade, but i finally found out they were called "secret Keepins" but there is BARELY any info for them online... i found a bit on ghost of the doll website but even they state theres not much info on them...hmmm

Does anyone remember a tabletop electronic toy where you had a plane cockpit and a joystick that controlled a plane which spun round over a top of a projected screen. When you pressed the trigger the plane would 'shoot' and destroy targets until you l'landed' on an aircraft carrier. Very similar to Jimmy Jet?
The toy of the robot in the "unknown" category is Alphie!
Michelle in Australia, your little guy looks like a Monchichi. This link may help you identify it for certain: http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=monchhichi&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=1125853541&ref=pd_sl_j8zozp9ts_b
Can anyone help me with this? I used to have a Space Station type toy that had a large perspex dome and a couple of other parts that were joined together by tubes. There were small bullet trains that could be pumped around the tube circuit with a foot pump. Anyone know what this was called?
Hi all! Someone early on here had a quesion about a bath toy that had a fish n' chips store...that's called TUBTOWN, I loved mine. ALISON March9,08 & TERESA FROM CANADA:I too had that beige/light brown/grey, hairy octopus/spider puppet thing with the white canvas glove on top. I called mine Harry. Somehow I think I remember him having a blue&white tag stiched on made of a silky material...could it have been a Kenner tag???Like most things I wish I still had it. CHRISTINE Jan.5,09:I think I remember having the lion/oven/stove thingy...mine had a reddish orange nose that squeeked...made of plastic. Thanks all for the lovely trip down memory lane.
Peace
I'm trying to remember what a certain toy I had when I was a kid was called. THe best I can describe it was it was a battery operated car that you would "fill with gas" with a little toy gas pump by inserting it in a hole near the rear window. This would cause a series of dials on the bottom of the car to spin in one direction, untill the read "FULL". The motor would then stop. You would remove the gas nozzle and it would again begin to run, this time the wheels would turn, and the dials would go the ohet way untill the read "empty" and the car would shut off. Does anyone remember this, and what it was called or where I could find it again?
Thanks in advance for your time,
Jeff
To anyone who was asking what the "submarine shaped toy that ran on a string" that was neon pink and green was called, it was called a "String Racer". I remember getting one for my birthday when I was little.
The pear with pink hat and purse was from an Avon series of stuffed fruits and vegetables. I still have the little mushroom guy. :)
To Dan who had one of the first comments - I found a toy of mine from the 80s called 'Capsela' that somewhat fits the description. Best toy set I ever had. Hope this helps!
I remember "Capsela". I had that too, was one of the things I used to play with alot, building all kinds of crazy stuff.
I used to have this motorized toy truck, it was mostly plastic but had a metal body like a tonka. It had a motorized winch, working headlights, and 2 shifters on the roof, one was for fwd/rev and the other was lo/hi. it was silver with red stripes and had a cartoon version of the truck on the sides kicking up a cloud of dust. It was definatly an 80s toy and was styled like a ford/chevy type truck. I don't remember exactly what it was supposed to be. The truck never worked as I got it at a yard sale in the early 90s. I was dumb and tore this toy up as a kid, but I would love to know what it was called so I can try and find another one. And I know it wasn't a stomper4x4, but is it possible that it is a tonka? I never heard of tonka making one like this, but my buddy had one of these too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Hey, Jeff, my nephew had one of those cars that you "filled up" with a little gas pump and had the thing on the back that would read Full. I have been trying to figure out what that car was too. The one he had was a 80s Black Trans Am, it looked just like the Knight Rider car. If memory serves me right, I think it was made my majoret or tootsie toy. His never worked, we just used it as a Delorean stand in, when we played "BTTF" as it was the only car he had that was sporty enough to be used as such. I'm glad someone else had one of these too.
I'm looking for the name of this disney ORANGE talking electronic square(ish) game(size of a mini laptop-it doesnt open or anything.) It was a learning game and when you turned it on, it was jimminy crickets voice and he would say "i'm jimminy cricket," you had to insert a page through the top, that had different disney characters on it and jimminy would ask you ?'s like where is this and what is that, etc... and you would answer it by pressing the correct picture. It came with many different disney inserts that could be stored behind.WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANKS. if you know it please email me at angelmony@aol.com subject: orange disney computer
Did any1 identify the stuffed dog on the top yet? If not, does the owner of that toy know if the dog has a tag on it & if so what it says? If you know post it. It looks familar but I can't put my finger on it. Any extra info will help.
I actually still have that same stuffed dog with the heart except mine is white with brown ears and it talks I'd have to dig it up to look at the tag.
I am looking for 2 toys that came out around 88-89. One was a little keychain video player. It had different mini reels you could insert in the back. It was square and had a button on the top you would hold down to view the reel. The other toy was a gray girl rabbit that would tell a story when you put a tape in her back. Her mouth would move to the words. Some said it might be Maple Town, but I can't locate this character. Help!
Okay, the so called dog in one of the top pics is actually a rabbit.(the greyish one w/ the lil heart on it's chest.) It's called a matteltalking huggie rabbit.
I have a stuffed animal that I found at a thrift store & I wanted 2 see if any1 knewn anything about it or even heard of it.(I would post a pic but it seems they never go up!) It's a fat pink pig, maybe about a foot tall. On it's butt it has small plastic label in the shape of a pig & it says "PB" 1989. It has like a plastic round ball in the middle of it's stomach,...it's empty but I'm guessing it used to be filled w/ something. The tag on it says "piggy belly"(which is it's name I guess) & was made by "Toy soldiers" Did any1 ever hear,have, or see this b4? I'm curious to know what was in it's belly. (it's not a pot belly stuffed animal..I checked.)
robbrina, the Piggy Belly was filled with candy. They were originally sold with Skittles inside. There was also a rabbit in the series.
Hey, jeff, I found a pic of the Trans Am car I mentioned with the "gas tank", I don't know what it is yet, cuz the site didn't say much about it. I found the pic on a Trans Am toy collector site, I emailed the guy but haven't got a response back yet.
Does anyone remember the name of small toys about 1" big they were different creatures, they had a little square on their chest and when you rubbed it a symbol would appear? If I remember correctly it was fire, water and wood. I think they came in pairs. Not being able to remember their names is driving me crazy!
George, I think you are referring to "Battle Beasts."
Yeah, those are battle beasts, does anyone know about that truck I mentioned
Thank you Dana! Thank you Erik! A part of my childhood has been relived!
My sister and I use to have these jem like dolls, but their skin and hair was metallic colors. We had a gold and also pink metallic doll. Does anyone know what these dolls were called?
The picture with the red and yellow robot type doll, he is character from Fraggle Rock, Doozers they were called.
Samantha- the 5 in dolls are called Love-a-Bye Babies by Hasbro
Tara- they are called Spectra. There is a picture on this website
i had this toy as a child and it was a lion with big eyes and you gave it a bottle then it would cry out the corners of his eyes when you squeezed him was in sitting positing with big feet and on the commerical it was a liitle girl hold him scared with it storming out side please help me
The toys with the sad eyes that would cry is a Lost and Found. I had the white rabbit and cried when my mom wouldn't get it for me. I finally got one for Christmas and my mom made me open that gift last.
Okay the dog with the heart. I had a white kitty w/a heart and from what I can remember my friend had the dog as well. I *THINK* they're called 'Huggy Buddys'. I remember mine would yowl 'ow stop pulling my ear/tail' 'hehehe you're tickling me' if I poked it in the armpit/on the foot. And when hugged 'Oh I love you too!'. I believe it said other things as well though.
I'm looking for the outdoor game that was kinda like laser tag but it was where you were playing hide and seek? 1 or 2 people would have this devices that you turn on and could clip on your belt, which was in the shape of a triangle, then they would go hide. Another person would have a hand held device, which looked like a tv remote, that they used to try and find the other people. It had 3 lights on it, red, yellow, green, and the closer you got to the people hiding, the lights and sounds would get faster and faster and if you got close enough you could press a red button and "tag" the person running from you.

Lacey. The only thing that comes up when I search the Huggy Buddy thing is a bunch of stuffed animals that look like baby blankets with heads. LOL. Is this the 1980s toy that you are referring to? Because I can't find an image of my Dog anywhere. Perhaps I should post one somewhere?
I came across my son's Mattel Teach & Learn Computer but don't have any of the disks. I don't know if it works. I installed batteries and nothing seems to happen. Does anyone remember how it works and if I need disks to operate the computer?
To the owner of the stuffed mushroom person in the picture: I have a banana person and my brother has pea people in a pead pod, but I don't know what they are called or who they are made by either.
I have this doll, she comes with a purple owl and a kaleidoscope, probually made by mattel?? from the 80's. Iwish I knew then name, and it's not moon dreamers because I have them too. Thanks!
There was a cheap toy in the early 80's I LOVED getting. It was typically in discount stores or checkout lines and it was a small hard plastic doll (3 or 4 inches tall) and it came with a couple of outfits that were hard plastic and snapped together around the doll (they were made of hard plastic and then like cut in half and had little tabs that poked into little holes to keep them together on the dolls). You had to break the outfits off of a grid similar to models where you break the pieces out before assembling. These things were cheap and I LOVED them but can't remember what they were called. Help!! :)
Wendy- it sounds like a Wonder Whim
There are two toys I am wondering about. The first one may be more early 90s, I'm not sure. I had two. They were little, tiny plastic dolls, but they had real hair. Both of mine had pink hair. They were in a container that looked like a snow globe, I believe the top had a crown on it. You could open the globe and get the doll out. The other thing I wondered about...we had a game, there were two garbage trucks and marbles that were in primary colors. Thats all I remember. Any ideas? Next time I am home, I have to ask my mom if she still has my old toys in the attic. I would imagine she does. I can't wait to look through them.
I actully still have the toy projector!!! its @ my grandma's house ... I still have a lot of my toys
dont' remember if they were 80's or 90's.. but i have a set of cats.. the mama cat is fuzzy and white with purple stripes and has a long brushable tail..the babies are all small and plastic...2 white with purple stripes, 1 purple with white stripes.
i can't find any info anywhere! please help!
Hi Eric,
That sounds like that was the car. Do you have a link to the site you saw it on? I was never even able to find a pic of it anywhere. Mine might have been a red trans am, don't remember the make.
Above comment was in regards to Erik's post, I misspelt your name. Sorry!!
Jeff
Thanks Janelle 4 the info on the Piggy belly! I figured it was candy of some sort in their bellies. Oh, & I was sort of wrong..the grey dog on the top pic..I said it was a rabbit..well it is a dog.(my bad) The ebay description said it was a Mattel Huggie Rabbit..but when I got it in the mail it's plain 2 see that it's a damn dog.
Maybe someone can help me. I was going through an old box of stuff and found a really tiny action figure, maybe a little more than an inch high. It has a purple jumpsuit style uniform and it's head is a hammerhead shark head with red eyes on each side. Any ideas of what this guy is from ? I can't remember.
The grey animal robots are Battle beasts, and it seems as if the ones you have are Rare promos.
Jennai...were they Dolly Pops? I had a bunch of those. Did they all have pigtails, with "real" hair?
For those of you talking about the brown dog that talks (I believe it was called Huggy Buddy). I have been looking for this exact dog! I had him when I was a child and it was handed down throughout the family but got lost somewhere. Any information that you could give me would be so great! From my searching some say that Mattel makes him back in 1985. I remember he has a button inside both ears, both arms, his tail and both feet. When you press these buttons he says - "Ow! It hurts, it hurts!", "HeeHeeHee That tickles!","I'm a good buddy, I'm you huggy" (or something like that) I use to call him Henry. Please if you know what I am talking about or know where I can find it. Please email me at rachie0609@gmail.com
Every once in awhile I think of this toy I had in the late 70s early 80s. I remember so little of it. It was electronic and may have had some sort of knock off barbie that went along with it. You could pick activities for her to do- ie: go on a date and pick her clothes all on this electronic console thingy. I know that's not a lot of info at all but does it sound vaguely familiar to anyone??? THanks!!
hi me and my cousin both had one of these and its driving us mad. it was a yellow battery operated maze with a plastic window so you couldnt touch the balls. it had 6 tiny magnetic balls that had to get acroos the course before the time ran out. any ideas??????
Jeff, Thats ok, about misspelling my name, its common for people to do that, I have a common name that isn't spelled like it normally appears, thats my dads doing. Anyways I don't have a link for the site, but its called firebirdtoys.com, he has tons of links on that site to different trans am car toys that he has collected, it took me forever to find it. Look for a link that refers to cars made of plastic. Its in there, scroll down through the list to find it, he only has a pic of a black one with a see-through purple hood, like the one my nephew had. There is no other info about it, I had tried emailing him about it, but I never got an answer back, maybe you could have more luck. anyways, hope that helps, if you do find out what it is, would you post it up on here, so I know what it is too.
Hi Erik,
Thanks for the info I will try to locate it. Vicki, the toy you are looking for may be called "Tricky Traps", I just came across it by accident when I was looking for something else on ebay and the seller had this too. Decided to buy it b/c it looked neat.
I am looking for koala figurines (very small) where each one came with a house that was something like a teapot, TV, a little shop, coffee shop etc. They all had little baseball hats, and their heads wwere the only moveable part. Thanks! I am also looking for an egg from Mork From Ork, late 70's-early 80's that opened and had gross greenish yellow goo in it, and a little egg plastic figurine in it. A really cute little egg alien. I cannot find this anywhere!!!!
thanks jeff! thats it- "aaaaghh" by tomy (or tricky traps) im so excited - i played on it for hours as a kid til my sis threw it down the stairs! ive now bought it from ebay for my son. thanks again!

Here's a difficult one for you guys. Back in the early 80's in the United Kingdom, I had this toy which consisted of good guys (lets call them spacemen) and bad guys (lets call them martians). The martians were all black, with a detachable red colored head, their feet had small round circle bases with teeth, that would fit into small metal bases. The spacemen were yellow, similar pose and had a bubble like transparent plastic helmet. The martians had space style "blocks" or "parts" that could be attached to each other to create all manner of strange vehicles. The parts would be almost always colored green and black. One of the parts was the shape of a flying saucer, with a rotating cockpit (weighted at the bottom to rotate with gravity I think), and also I remember there being black claw like objects, with a spring at the back of them for that spring loaded gripping effect. The spacemen had similar vehicle pieces only I believe those were yellow and red colors. They once appeared on a childrens show around the same time, the show in question either was fingerbob, or in a similar format. Where the University professor looking presenter showed children how to make things with household items (no it wasn't blue peter), and happened to use these figures as a demonstration to some playset he showed you how to build. I'm unaware of any comic or cartoon connected with this particular toy. I cannot for the life of me find out what these toys were called, but would love to know. They weren't Manta Force, or Lego, I know that much heh.
scratch my last request. I finally found them. They're called Britains Space.
Does anyone remember a play set of figures that included a Lassie type collie a blonde guy, a woman and a few kids(I dont think it was to do with Lassie). I remember them having a green centred boat with white floats either side, possibly with a plane that fitted to it to make one of those well known floating/flying thingys and maybe a land vehicle. The figures were about 3-4" tall and must be late 70s early 80s. I'm not sure if all above is from the same box but i'm sure someone must remember it, Thanks for reading,
I had a toy in the 80s. it was an architect sort of toy. i still have the straightedge and triangle it came with. crayola made it. it directed you to draw lines to create a room and then there were items and furniture you could place into it. then color it, etc. it was a small white drafting board and it had routered edges so the straightedge could fit in and lock into place. im dying to find this toy! i would sit up morning till night playing it. so cool! any thoughts, please email me missmartymar@yahoo.com
Hi, I don't know who posted the picture of the plush bunny/puppy up there (Mattel 1986), but I'm pretty sure it's a "My Child Pet". It looks just like that one (I hope I may post the link here?): http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Mattel-My-child-My-Pet-brown-puppy-dog-MINT-condition_W0QQitemZ260382348757QQihZ016QQcategoryZ335QQcmdZViewItem Hope that helped!
HELP!! my sis and i have been looking for an electronic game where you put plastic sheets over a pad thing and it was thick and it would ask stuff like" have you seen my dog" it also had a musical sheet where you press on an instrament and it would make the sound. i hope i explained it well enough for some one to recognize it. please help!!!
Stuart-we're these the same kind of dolls as the Rescue People. Seems like I had the same thing and one set came with a dolphin.
I think adam and robin(above) are looking for the same toy it sounds just like what iam looking for.
To Kelly: about the doll with the castle and horse with the clip-on things with hair..I believe they have Pixie or something in the name maybe Pixie's..and to a early post about the walk-man like thing with tapes..POCKET ROCKERS I have one with a Tiffany tape
Sorry this is too Lindsey(Jan. 28, 2009 post) I just remembered it's called Lady Lovely Locks..Is that what you were talking about? I had one too and you could clip the hair things on your hair too...hope this helps
Hi Amanda, that could be them although I cant find anything on them on any websites. Probably not that popular but would like to have seen them again as is the only toy I can seem to remember that doesn't seem to exist!! Thanks for replying.
I'm wondering if anyone remembers a portable record player (played real records) that closed and latched like a suitcase. Mine was black and white checkered and had a plastic front "bubble" panel that had red, green and blue lights behind it that would flash when played. I had it in 1981-82 and I have NO clue what brand it was or who made it. Any thoughts!?
Little doll in Picture with large Nursery covered in Gingham cloth looks like Baby Moppet. Set is called Baby Moppets Secret Nursery and is made by a company called Knickerbocker. I have this complete playset with the doll NIB for sale on eBay. Hope this helps.
I am looking for the name of a toy of the late 80's early 90's, they were big white tubes with different colored corner peices all made of plastic they clicked together and to get them apart you had to use a gray plastic wrench to push in the two gray buttons, you twisted and locked them together
in the above picture, I think that is a PJ Sparkles stuffed pet. Not sure of the exact name, but looks like it. There were several types, dog, and other animals in different colors. You can find them on Ebay by searing PJ Sparkles
In like the eighties there was a brown computer that had keys with split buttons of white and blue. i can't seem to remeber the name. sombody please help!!!
The grey dog doll that you are looking to find the name, its the My Child Pet. I had the same exact one.
I played with these toys in the 80s that I have always thought were Weebles but now that I've lookd up Weebles, I see that I'm wrong. They were little hard plastic figures with segmented cylindrical bodies. These had holes in the bottom and I think they fit down over pegs in their houses and cars and stuff. I picture the bodies being different primary colors as if they were clothes. They had round heads. I *think* I had a bath toy "house" for them of some sort that stuck to the side of the tub or the wall above it. Please help if you have any ideas!
Athens99--we're both asking about the same toy. I was starting to think I was the only one who ever owned those wee li'l sundae-dwelling, oreo-dwelling dollies. Didja ever figure out the name? I sure didn't, but hoped perhaps you had learned something...
Hi:) There's a toy from the 80's that i know i'm not making up but no one seems to know what i'm talking about. It was these hard plastic little dolls and they came with a big doll house and all the dolls had magnets on the bottom and they came with magnetic keys. So you'd pu the doll in the house and the key would go under the floor and you could move the dolls with the key. Ring a bell for anyone????
Yes-I remember the dolls with the magnet that made them move. . . . nut I cannot for the life of me remember what on earth they were called!
I am still looking for the motorized 4x4 truck, still no luck. Also, I am looking for this race car I had, it was etheir little tykes, or playskool, more likely playskool. It came with a impact gun and a screw driver, and you could take apart the car with the tools, the tools and the car was mostly bright yellow, but the car also had some red and I think a little blue on it. The impact was motorized and I think the car was too.
Reply to Cindy. hi, the crayon lipstick was Crayon Girl by Knickerbocker. me and my twin sister done a tv advertisement for it. Ive been searching for it online but found nothing so far (thats how i ended here lol)
Does anyone know of this toy? I can't remember the name of it. They were small, flat, hard little people able 3 inches or so tall. they came with different hard plastic outfits that you could snap on the front of them. They aren't the knickerbocker dolly pops...They are completely flat. I can't even remember the maker of them either. Any ideas?
Were the dolls with the magnet in the bottom that made them move part of Fisher-Price's Precious Places line?? I remember the magic key mansion!!
*****KRISTIN*******
they are called flat folks! it took me forever to find out the name but i finally found it on ebay!
Trying to find out the name of a set of plastic dolls from the 1980s or early 1990s. The dolls themselves were very tiny (about 1 inch tall), and they came enclosed in tiny plastic objects (the objects were about 1 and 1/2 inches to 2 inches tall). One of them came in a plastic ice cream (the top was a pink swirl and the bottom was a cone with flat base). You opened the top and you could get the doll out. Another one came inside a purple plastic clock. There were more, but I can't remember what object they came in. If anyone can help that would be very much appreciated. Even if you only knew the brand of toys they were, that would be great!
Pamela, I think those dolls are Polly Pockets.
With regards to "Little Happy Orange fella with orange heart on chest - dated 1984 and makes cute noise when shaken up & down. I thought it might be a friend of Hugga Bunch or Care Bears or something??? HELP!!" I think it was from Keepers.
Erik, I can see why you would think that, based on the info that I gave, but it was not Polly Pockets. I did love Polly, but she's not what I'm talking about. These were babies, not girl figurines, although they were the same size as Polly and her friends were (which is much smaller than the updated 2000's version of Polly Pocket). Any other ideas?
Pamela, I think you're talking about "Mimi and the Goo Goos". Here is a great website about it: http://www.nwi.net/~noteboom/Mimi/?Home
That "spooky tree" figure is from the cartoon the INHUMANOIDS. dont know if it had a specific name to it.
Lu- THANK YOU SO MUCH! You were right, it WAS "Mimi and the Goo Goos" I never would have remembered that name. And it looks like they were from the '90's, huh? I wasn't sure about that. I'm glad there was someone in the "80's" section that knew about a "90's" toy, because I looked in the "90's" section, and there isn't much in there yet. And there are a lot of kids in there that cuss and make inappropriate comments for no reason. (Kids these days... NOW I REALLY FEEL OLD! Haha Anyway, Thanks again!!!!!!
To JamieMay:
They were called Snugglebumms. They either squeeked when shaken or some would light-up. I think I had the papa one...he was a big ol' turqoise guy that would light up when you squeezed him. I still have two hard resin figurines of them...the pink mama one and a true blue one.
=)
The red/yellow robot w/ the hearty on his chest in the picture gallery is simply called...ready for this?1?...ROBOT MAN! I accidentally found a cartoon of him on YT, here is the link...

Peace
Pamela: welcome - glad to see you so delighted! :D
I'm looking for a toy that was similar to a "my little pony," but not quite. It was a yellow dog looking thing made from the my little pony material. it had pigtails in its hair and a tail; when you pulled the pigtails they became long and the tail got short. when you pulled the tail, it became long and the pigtails got short. It had a little picture of a cupcake in the same place where my little ponies do. I remember having a rabbit that was from the same company. Let me know if you have any ideas!
Krisi: I think that would be "Little Pretties", I only just found them myself :) on that page it features your dog and bunny, too: http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_LittlePretties_glitter.htm
ok i use have this toy when i was litlle and i was like a little puppet that fit on ur hand and it looked like a goblin and it had a little lever to move the eye...i thought they were called ghoulies or goblins anyone rememer them?
BOGLINS, Frankie??
Oh my gosh...I loved my Small Fry Hot Dog stand. I don't remember who made it but I know I played with it all the time. One of my favorites!!
Not sure if anyone has answered this or not but the stuffed pear with hat and purse is Ms.Pear. She is from the Summersaults(spelling?). There was a mushroom, charley barley, a boy and girl peanut. There may be more but can't remember. I had the collection. They were from Avon.
Sarah...just saw your comment about the mushroom and I think his name was Fergus or something like that. I still have all of them in storage. They may have their names on the tag.
SZA thanks thats it
The squishy dolls that fit in the stroller and the cage are called Smooshies.
got several action figures, with holographs for chest and face, about 6 - 7 inches tall, with glow in the dark weapons, the good guys were a knight, a viking and an indian, anyone know what the hell they were?
Anyone remember a cassette sing-a-long book about a boy and his patchwork stuffed animal friends. A bear, horse and others. One of the songs went.. "We stick together like a dog and a flea, I'm so glad we're friends". Another part of the story is where the bear puts on a coat and its hot and he shrinks really small.
Can anyone help me ID these weapons? They are all from the 80's but I don't know who they go to. Thanks.

the first pic (tan doggy)tagged Mattel from 1986 is part of the My child doll collection these were the pets of the my child dolls there was also a kitty and they came in differnt colors , you should be able to find more info about them on any my child web site just google my child-
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this toy. It was a hard plastic book holder that had big buttons of yellow, red, blue, green, and maybe orange. It had play, stop, rewind, and fast forward. I would really like to find one if possible.
hey jason, are they visionarys?! I loved that show I am so jealous! the pear type creature in the picture with a handbag was an avon plush toy it was called mrs pear a character in a book about Charlie Barley and friends, the somersaults I think. Wish I could remember the mushrooms name!!!
Just had a fit of nostalgia and looked up Spinjas (the WWE seems to have taken a liking to them in recent years even using the original name of Spinja), Battle Beasts (who fit into the transformer story line and had the heat activated hologram on their chest that resembled elements) and then the toy that I can NOT recall the name of... This particular toy had a hard plastic case where the pieces would be held in fitted slots. You would take out the pieces, build your monster, and play around with it. The plastic case was slightly larger than a playing card. My first thought was Monster in my Pocket but that is incorrect. Any Ideas???
Trying to remember a toy...It was a submersible tank that had belt tires. I know it was battery operated, no remote control or anything. You just turn it on, and let it slowly pull itself forward. Of course the cool part is that it could go underwater. This frequented my bathtub playtime until it got all soap scummy. But no matter, I think the shell could pop off, but don't quote me. It was about half the size of a vhs tape, (thinking in 80's terms here), and had a little man that you could put in as a pilot. The little man was no taller than an inch from what I can recall. The theme was more futuristic and sci-fi. I can't remember much else beyond that, so I wouldn't be surprised if anyone can't figure this out. Cheers!
I was born in 1975 so I to am a true 80's child I fondly remember the toys and game of this time I loved my slinky,magic sand,viewmaster,etc...but I am having some difficulty finding and remembering two games-one you were fishing and you might get an old boot,tire,cans,fish,but you did not want to get the smelly skunk you would have to scratch and sniff.Another was a fat man in a bib at a drive in and you had to feed him cardboard pizza,hot dogs,sodas,popcorn,ect....but he might upchuck them does any one remember these. Serching through this has brought back so many memories.......TY
hi everyone :) i had a beloved set of barbie travel set that included a collapsible cup , a miniature soap and case , a miniature toothbrush with cover , and maybe a folding combination hair brush and comb and i'm not sure of any other items ...i also had a SHE-RA set of toiletries that included, i think, a small bottle of bubble bath and, i'm not sure what else was in the set... does anyone have any idea what these were named or who made them or around what years they could have been made? THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL THE KIND FOLKS WHO COME TO THIS BOARD AND HELP US FIND PIECES OF OUR CHILDHOOD ...IT MEANS MORE TO US THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS... love, dede
Hello all. I had a ton of little dolls that were about 3 inches tall, made of molded plastic, flat on the back and had molded plastic clothes that you could interchange by snapping them onto the front of the doll. I had them in the early 80's. Maybe even late 70's. Anyone know what they were called?
I don't know if anyone asked this question yet or even remembers them, but I use to have these dolls and they came with little animal that had clips on the bottoms of them to put in the girls hair. The animals had tails on them the same material as the dolls hair. I remember it use to be a cartoon and the animals use to live in the dolls hair if I remember right. Anyone know what they were called.
Nessy, I think you mean the "Lady Lovely Locks" toy series. (: The little animals are called Pixietails.
Christine, could that dog be Scroungy?
Mrsdiff I had those dolls to they were dolly pops they were really fun, I still have a couple around here somewhere.
Hey, wonder if anyone can help. I used to have a very small red plastic bag which was also a little house with 2 crossed windows in, it had a snatch at the top where the handle was to close it. Inside was a house with little mice in. It had a logo which was Blue and Grey I think! Definitely must be mid 80s.
The toy in the picture of the stuffed animal that would light up and make noises when you walk by was part of the "CHUBBLES" line.
The "squishy" toys pictured with the birdcage were called "Smooshees"
The GLADIATOR GIRL figures are called Golden Girls- Guardians of the Gemstones. They had rubber bands inside, holding on legs/arms. They tended to break more than the She ra dolls, which means fewer of these are available today (and so they are a little more valuable). Looks like Rubee, Golden Girl, and Wild One in the pic.
I cant remember what they were called and I cant find them in google. I do remember them around 1987 or 1988. They were plastic figures like army men, but they were futuristic. There was a black team with red boots, knee pads, elbow pads, and helmut visor. And a tan team with black boots, pads, and visor. Both had future looking weapons and no foot base. I think there were vehicles you could buy seperately for them. Please help, they've been racking my brain for a week now. I thought they were fun because to me, they were better than army men.
I had a tweaks mouse when I was a child that my mother gave me before she passed away. I can't remember his particular name. I can't find him on the internet. It takes me to tweaking? I don't know how to find him? Can someone please help?
Anyone help with this one? early to mid 80's, action figures (think super natural sized) that had latex faces which had hard plastic underneath that changed the face... I think they were supposed to be monster/barbarian type things...
Does anyone remember this game? It had a really long plastic tube that you wrapped all around your body, and then you put a marble in one end and you were supposed to twist and bend around so it would go all the way through to the other end. My friends and I really liked it in elementary school, but now I can't remember its name or when it was made.
The flat dolls with ponytails and pop on clothes were called dolly pops I had the same set from the picture it was dolly pops fashion show. I also had these little dolls the were circles in blue4 with gems on the from when you opened the gems you flipped there heads and arms and legs out and they became dolls you could attach them to wrist band s as bracelets or a necklace I had a house with chairs and stuff they were sectret something but I cant remembe what any ideas?
jen l the toys your talking about were Sweet Secrets. They are one this website ( I submitted the photos of the Sweet Secret House, that I still have from when I was young).
Does anyone remember the name of this toy? Looks like a plastic rock about the sive of a large grapefruit, and has a button on the back you press and the rock quickly opens to reveal a monster inside. There were 4-5 different monsters, and each came with a little gremlin creature w/ no arms. And it wasn't Rock Lords.
This was an electronic learning game made in the 80s or possibly late 70s. It had several activity sheets with different objects printed on it and a hole on and under each one. You'd attach the sheet to the base and with "pens" attached with wires, you would press down on an object. I believe a red light would come on if it was right or something like that. That's all I really remember about it.
Joe C, I know what you are talking about. I have one of the little no armed demons. He's pink with blue teeth, bat ears and three toed feet. Teeth and eyes are blue. It has Copyright CBS Inc. on its back. I have no clue what these were. Anybody have answers?
More info on the mysterious rock toy monsters... I found the patent for these toys (with diagrams included) but sadly no name of the toy is mentioned... http://www.google.com/patents?id=we05AAAAEBAJ&printsec=drawing&zoom=4
I have the white cat that is just like the brown dog picture with the heart on his chest. I came to this site trying to figure out my cats name as well. I cant find any like it. It is a large cat (maybe 2 ft tall) and he says different phrases when you squeeze different parts. He says "That tickles", and "I love you too". Please help if anyone knows his name.
Ive been looking for a few years now online to see if anyone can identify the toy im looking for. I ring bells with so many people other people can draw the toy in question but none of us can remember the name. the toy is probably from the 86 - 90, it may be a bit after or before that. i think i was about 7 or 8 when it came out. it was a large toy, like a hula hoop. it woudl be classified as an out door toy. it was thicker and came in 2 pieces that snapped together. Each half of the circle was a different colour. You formed a big rim like a thin tire rim. The hoop had 2 handles on it. you put a large ball in the rim and then flicked your wrist. The point was to spin it around as fast as possible without losing the ball. you could do tricks like spin it around with your arm in the middle, or your head... occasionally you would get a black eye... it was great. i loved this thing. i initially thought it was called Tuba Ruba,since i owned that, but when i googled that the images were the other game i owned. Im at a loss and REALLY hope someone can give me a name for this toy, it will drive me to my grave. i have seen it descried on other sites, and none have answers visable! im hoping some of you can help
The tubes and marble game you put on your body is a game called Tuba Ruba, i mentioned it at the bottom of my post above. You can still purchase it some places new... other times you can find it in flea markets
I am looking for the name of a doll I recieved for Christmas in 1982. She was about 12" tall, made from plastic, and she wore a pink swimsuit-like jumper. When you squeezed her belly, her little pigtails would move up, and she would make a cute little sound. The sound was not electronic, just a sound that resulted from squeezing her belly. If anyone knows the name of this doll, please help!!
This has been bothering me for years, please help! I'm looking for the name of an electronic learning game that you plugged into the tv, i remember playing it in the late eighties, early ninties. I don't remember too much about it, but there was a square plastic board with 4 different colored squares on it that you pressed to control the game. I think there were a lot of math and word games....and pretty sure there was a robot that guided you through it. I hope someone remembers!
looking for a toy that i played with when i was about 6/7....it was these plastic dolls that came folded into a circular plastic case with a jewel on the top. You could open the case and unfold their heads (with hair), legs, and hands, and they turned from small jewel cases into small jewel dolls. They had accessories like a car that turned into a hairbrush....ring bells for anyone? kellyjstockwell@gmail.com
I'm not having much luck.. not even sure if she is 80s. She was a small doll about 8 inches at the most she had a vinyl face that had painted on blue eyes and she had blonde curly hair. Her body was soft no hard spots.. she didn't have shoes on. she was very cuddley but didn't do anything.. HELP! she was also pretty fat.I believe she wore white and green overalls or something. it was sewn into her body.
I am looking for a toy my friend and I used to play with when we were about 7 or 8. They were little plastic mouse and cat families who wore clothes and the mice lived in a purple plastic shoe. They were about an inch to two inches tall. We cant remember what the cats lived in. This would have been in the early 1990's. If anyone knows please let me know!!! We can't think of it!!
Tracyg--- the ring toy is called a Chatter Ring. I have one, too!!!
does anyone remember a toy from the 80's that was white, stuffed, sort of oval shaped, yarn loops all over body, and had silky/satin square hands and feet that were colored?? i had one when i was little, and i have no idea what it was!
I had a plush toy that was sort of like a popple but it had a velcro pocket on its back/butt area. The pocket contained miniature baby versions of it! I want to find one but I cant remember the name. Anyone who can help, let me know! Thanks!
Would that Stuffed animal in the picture above be a Poochie Doll?? Maybe??
These were called Sweet Secrets :0)
kelly - July 04, 2009 looking for a toy that i played with when i was about 6/7....it was these plastic dolls that came folded into a circular plastic case with a jewel on the top. You could open the case and unfold their heads (with hair), legs, and hands, and they turned from small jewel cases into small jewel dolls. They had accessories like a car that turned into a hairbrush....ring bells for anyone?
does anyone remember the dollhouse from the 90s, there was a family and if you put the mother in a certain spot in the child's bedroom a light would turn on? i don't know if they had magnets in them or something...
I have this polar bear stuffed animal whose belly turns blue when it gets cold by the crystal (by putting it in the freezer).
I had a little grey mouse with pink ears and when you moved its tail its ears moved, it came in a little yellow house shaped like a handbag with a red door, does anybody know whats its called or where i can find one?
Here goes...looking for a toy from my childhood, i will describe from memory so bear with me - it was a battery operated construction toy set that ran on a track. there were several cars(or vehicles) like a loader that would dump metal marblr like balls into a dump truck. Memory is telling me it was a brown track, and the vehicles were brown and orange. There were also metal wire-like pieces that went over the track that would cause the loader top "dump" it's load...I had it in the early 80,s, not sure who the mfg. was...(mattel/ertyl/hasbro??) if this rings a bell with anyone let me know - this is driving me nuts. thanks
I don't know if he's from the 80's or 90's but I've got this bear that was originally pink with lace around the neck and wrists, has a red heart on his left hand, has his eyes half shut, and lays on his belly. I've called him Nite Nite bear for all my life, but I don't know what he really is. He might've had a night cap. My mom got him probably late 80's, early 90's. Maybe earlier... Does anyone know what he is or if I can get a pic of a newer looking one?
Hey, my friend remembers a toy from when she was a kid called Yorky Porky Pig - or something like that. It was a pig on a stick that was attached to your ankle and you made it spin around your ankle - it came with a CD.
Natalie 1981, I believe it was called a groove tube. I had one that was pink and blue with a green ball.
I had a rather large collection of these little rubber wrestler guys. They weren't WWF figures but little fanciful characters, vaguely reminiscent of Power Ranger bad guys... The name's on the tip of my tongue, it's driving me crazy.
i had these toys in the 80s that were sort of car/truck like. the weird thing about them was that they ran on these little glow in the dark things that you charged up and then stuck inside the car. its been a while so i dont know if this description is clear enough. thanks for any help.
Biebs they were called M.U.S.C.L.E.

I am trying to remember the name of a toy that was most likely from the 90s. It was a little stuffed shaggy dog that came in brown and white or grey and white patterns. He had holes in the fabric on the bottom of him so you could attach him to this plastic "leash" contraption. The long leash had a red plastic piece at the bottom coming out of a little box on roller wheels. You would slide the red piece inside the stuffed animal and it would bounce up and down while making a yipping sound so you could walk your stuffed dog. Does anybody know what I am talking about?
To Melissa with the unidentified dolls picture--the short pink doll on the right is a Bubblin.
Sandy: sounds a lot like Scamps... not that I ever had one, think I wanted one though.
Aia: Yes! That was it! Thanks, that was driving me crazy. I loved my Scamps toy to death! I had the gray and white one. I even found the commercial on youtube now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AAu8ZRIOOU
Does anyone remember a 70's/80's toy that was plastic and had hollow tubes that squished like an accordion. Tubes were in several different colors and were appromimately 4-5 inches long. You connect the tubes to make a long piece and twist it into different shapes. When you squished the tube they were about half that size and when you pulled on them they made a popping sound as they expanded. Seems like they had connector pieces and several different head pieces to make animals or something??. Couldn't remember what they were called when my kids asked about them.
Somebody asked about a building set where the pieces were like accordions and snapped together. These were called POPOIDS and they bent in all different directions and made a crinkly echoing sound when you pulled them or pushed them.
These look like painted (or maybe the paint in worn off) Battle Beasts. Not sure about all of them, but I recognize several.
Polar bear is an Ice Tickle Bear by Mattel 1993.
Hi guys, in the early eighties, i was bought a red plastic robot figure. I got it for xmas. Its main feature was a grey rubber turning featureless head (a bit like a daleks) which squirted water, and for some reason it had a grey suction cup base which swivelled. The backstory, was that they were some kind of robot hero force. The figure, if I remember correctly, came with a comic book, and the figure itself was quite chunky. It may have been made by playskool or similar, but I'm not sure. If you guys know what I mean, don't hesitate. .
I have a baby doll that is from 1983. She has a hard plastic head, hair, and a yellow plastic bow painted on. She has sand body blue and white polka dotted. She is only about 8-10 inches. I cannot figure out what she was called or if could find another
Amy (May 2009) - what you are describing are called the "Weeble Wobbles". I used to have a playset as a kid growing up in the UK. You can buy them in places like David Jones or Myer here in Australia.
My cousins had an art set with interchangeable plates that allowed you to create your own superhero/monster by changing its head, torso, and legs. You put the plates in place, put a piece of paper over the plates, and then ran a pencil over it to transfer to the paper.
Any ideas what it was called?
CWILL- It was called Mighty Men & Monster Maker. I had one too. Couldn't remember the name but I found it on this website. There's a picture of it.
Awesome!!!
Thanks a bunch!
Being artistically challenged, I always loved playing with that set!
Hey guys. I remember as a kid I had this rock figure toy who was about 13" tall, grey color, green eyes that glowed and he was poseable. His body was literally all rocks and his face kind of looked like a skull. He was released with another figure that was also about 13" tall but this figure was made of lava when you opened him up from his igneous shell. Definitely from the 80's but can't remember their names or toyline. Help? Thanks
Hey Melissa, you are looking for Pipeworks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playskool_Pipeworks "I am looking for the name of a toy of the late 80's early 90's, they were big white tubes with different colored corner peices all made of plastic they clicked together and to get them apart you had to use a gray plastic wrench to push in the two gray buttons, you twisted and locked them together"
I've got a tough one for you girls. In the late 80s I had a very small doll (probably about 3 inches tall or so) that came with a plastic oven that you could open up. It transformed into an awesome pizza parlor with all sorts of cute accessories. When you finished playing all the accesories fit into a compartment and you could fold the playset back into the shape of an oven. It WAS NOT Sweet Secrets but the concept was sort of similar since a larger object broke down into some sort of playset. I WAS NOT Polly Pocket. The playset was more along the size of the Sweet Secret playsets. The little dolls that came with them had posable arms and removable clothing. This has driven me crazy for years. PLEASE help! :)
To phunkygemini--Wish World Kids?
ive found something thats similar to a toy i had when i was younger...the speak'n'spell...but mine was kind of different...it looked more like a mini computer...a flat keyboard part, then the screen part was raised...im not sure if im getting mixed up with my memories? but im sure it was different to the speak n spell. it was grey with dark grey keyboard...i lived in newzealand...and it could have possibly been sent over from australia...not too sure...around the years 1986-1994...help anyone??? email hannah.aroha@gmail.com
What your referring to is the Talking Lesson One. I submitted the picture to this website. I live in Australia and got mine in about 1989.
I've been trying to figure out what a toy I had when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade (so it is probably early 90s) is called..Girls I need your help - It's driving me nuts! lol It was a mommy animal (I had the dog, but they had kitties and bunnies) & the mommy had a few babies. The mother was like 4 or 5 inches tall, solid but with a fuzzy, soft texture. The babies were under an inch..the dog version I had were little pink & blue puppies..I think the amount of babies you got were a surprise. I am not talking about puppy surprise! Those were larger plush toys..These are smaller and plastic/rubber. Anyone?? o_0
I will not be surprised if no one knows what I'm talking about. I have been searching for a small (about 2 or 2 1/2 inches) figure from the 80's. The figure was orange (There was a purple one, as well) and had an enlarged bald head and look like a cross between a troll (fantasy trolls not the toy trolls with the hair) and a caveman. He held a brown club but the rest was a darkish orange color. It ws made of the same kind of plastic as 'Monster's in my Pocket' (slightly bendy but not poseable). I have been searching for, at least, a name for this toy since 1987 when I lost it to a lawnmower. I don't know if it was part of a set or a generic knockoff toy. Please help.
Does anyone remember this? When I was little( 1983-1990)I had a home arcade game for kids where you sit on the seat and there's a screen in front of you and IT SWIVELS as you turn the handle to shoot things on the screen. It could be from before 1983 since I got a lot of hand-me-downs. I remember it being navy blue and the game was a space shooter. It was the coolest toy ever and I don't have any pictures of it from my childhood and can't find a thing about it online either. Does anyone know what it was called, who made it, or where I can see a picture of it?
Alyse---I had those too! They are called Furrever Friends and you can see them here. I still have the spotty one with the purple tail. =] http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_FurreverFriends_ClipTail.htm
Staci---are you thinking of Maple Town and Sylvanian families. I have the light green school, pink post office, brown red roofed house, various playground parts (swing is all brown plastic molded to look like wood and my slide is red and brown plank like looking plastic matching the house, as well as a dark brown rabbit about 7 inches tall whose mouth moves alnog with any sound but at one time was paired with a tape of Sylvanian Stories. http://www.stufffromthe80s.co.uk/images/sylvanian-families.jpg Looks like they are still being made today. http://www.sylvanianfamilies.com/
Sabrina---i just ran across that on ebay I think. There is a pink, purple, and yellow set of fawns and they are listed as Sea Wees Shimmers. Is that it? http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Mimi-and-E-Bones-Store__W0QQ_armrsZ1QQ_fsubZ21391956
identified from picture gallery above: Squish Puppies! check them out in detail at gotd http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_SqwishPuppies.htm
Sabrina---found exactly what you described over at gotd just now. They are called Shimmers. http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_Shimmers.htm
Brenda----Those ball headed things might be Nerfuls. They are at gotd. http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_Nerfuls.htm
Heather---That sounds like it's gotta be a Hollywood! check them all out at gotd http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_Hollywoods.htm
MARIA: those "nailbed" toys were known by the name of "Pinhead". They were originally metal but I've seen new ones made of neon plastic too.
Lilly---I think you might be talking about My Little Puppy, My Little Kitty, and My Little Bunny. I had the bunnies and your description just reminded me so much of them, although I think they all came with two babies. They were related to My Little Pony. Here is a website with pictures: http://www.hallelnet.com/von/info3/my_kitty_puppy_bunny.htm#1 Hope that helps! :)
Does anyone remember a toy that had a baby inside of it? My sisters and I got them and they weren't very big mine was a little boy in a shoe my one sister got a baby in a clock and the other sister got a baby in a hamburger. I remember that you could open and close the items that the little babies were kept in. Does anyone know what they were called?
Amanda M - YES! Thank you so much!!!
Ally, these sound like "Mimi and the Goo Goos". There are nice websites about them to find with Google, have fun :)
This is for "phunkygemini" and anyone else interested. I have recently found the Wish World Kids that you are referring to above. I know for sure I have the chair that turns to a car, the bed into a play ground, the fire place into a grill and the stove into a pizza parlor. I am interested in selling these. They are in great condition, but not in boxes. I also have many my little ponies and those silly silly Russ Troll Dolls too! Please contact me at theresa_b4@msn.com if interested. We can discuss offers. :)
Hey there, that puppy with the Mattel tag is a My Child Pet. Anyone have any My Child Dolls or Magic Nursery dolls for sale?
Need info, pics, about a game I think was called Pits and Pendulums. It had two swinging axes and you put little white plastic bones in holes all the way up the arm that held the axes. At the bottom was a coffin. The object was to pull the bones out and throw them in the coffin without letting the axes hit your fingers. The lid to the coffin was at the top of the arm and was held up by the bones and would fall as you pulled the bones out from top to bottom.
Hi - I need help figuring out the name to a toy I LOVED as a kid. The toy was a plastic doll figure (white dress, pink apron, all plastic) that came with a kitchen set and oven. Coming out of the over on the side was a plastic tab that you pulled out and a miniature version of the same scene, including a miniature doll, was inside! There were other scenes and dolls too, can anyone help?
To Marlo: I think they were called Secret Places by Galoob.
I need help!!I am losing sleep over this stuffed bear I had as a baby..I would have the pictures but they burnt in a house fire.:( All i really remember was it had zippers pockets snaps buttons and it was multi colored...hope someone can help!
Hi,
Whe I was a Kid. I used to have a Green toy road track for match boxes. It had red clips to connect under the roads. It also had buliding that would stand that you could connect under the roads. Does anyone remeber who made this? What company made this? What model it was? Also does anyone have a picture of it? I think it was made in the 70's or 80's. Thank you for anyone that can help me with these Questions.
Thanks,
Varian
Hi! I need help!! I am looking for a toy I had when I was a kid. It was a Pumpkin and when you opened it it was a house/castle and it came with plastic people (king, queen, prince and princess). It also had a horse and pumpkin coach. There was a little moat around the outside of the pumpkin too. I remember loving the trap door that was inside the pumpkin that the people could go through. If anyone could help me with pictures or the manufacturer's name that would be great!!
Looking for an action figure, 80s I believe, the figure is made of black stretchy elastic with a hard plastic head, and hard plastic snap-on armor, there were only 5 or 6 in the set as far as I remember. Thanks.
So, I have been looking for this toy for years now. I got it when I was like 4 or 5, so maybe 1986/87. It was a stuffed animal, but was a combination of 2 animals...mine was a mix of kangaroo and elephant. It had a yellow and orange striped kangaroo pouch. I think the combo animals were a 'thing,' and that there were several mixes. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!!
@cfinny - That had to have been a Wuzzle! Google 'Wuzzle' and I'm positive that will be it!
I'm trying to find a toy it came as either a bear or a cat, and it was scented and whatever scent it was it has the images on its belly. like if it was peppermint is had mints on its belly. i'm also looking for a little porccupine looking thing that opens up and has plush babies inside and they look every generic like puzzle pieces with hair. thanks.
I had a particular Colorform set when I was very young (early 1980's). It was a house with different rooms and family members, furniture, food, etc. that could be placed all around. Everyone I have asked sends me to Miss Cookie but it is NOT like any of the pictures I've seen. Her houses were all pink and blue and the pieces were only in 2 different colors. I'm told that there were several releases of the Miss Cookie playhouse set, and one was in the early 1980s but I just can't seem to find pictures that match my memory. I remember pieces like an apple pie, a carton of eggs, and a bathtub which I thought had bubbles in it. They were not limited to kitchen items. Does anyone what this is and where I might find detailed pictures? It may very well be a Miss Cookie, but I've yet to see anything like it on the Internet. Any help is greatly appreciated - this is keeping me up at night! camcat888@bellsouth.net
Unknown but very cool education item! Ok so I used to play with this toy in my classroom back in the 80's and it used to be at my local public library as well. My friend also had one that we played with sometimes at her house. It was an electronic toy . The one I played with was white and square in shape. It sat up and it had a touch mechanism. You put big cards on the front of it like the USA map, states, parts of the world, and you had to identify that particular item that was labeled by a number. You also stored these large cards in the back of it. It had little red lights that lit up on the edges of it. Now I'm not sure if this educational toy actually came out in the late 80's, early 90's but I know I played with it in that time frame. Does anybody have a clue what I am talking about and what is the name of it?
I figured out what time I was talking about! it was the GeoSafari Learning System. It came out in 1987. Love that toy!
Trying to find or name a toy that was a drawing/writing board. It had plastic pegs and a giant pencil. And when you pulled the pencil through the pegs it drew out string. I want to say it was called string along, but I can't find it anywhere! the top of the pencil had a crank to crank back in the yarn to put away. it would have been about 85 or 86. If i remember correctly it was yellow.
to the person with the gladiator type female dolls those may be from She-Ra Princess of Power
i had a wind up wooden box. dimensions were around 4"x6" had a knob on front and inside up top there was a picture(s) scene and it scrolled by as the song played. The tune is what im most anxious to find out. Used to be so sad. I'd like to remake the tune cause im into pc music.
NICK -- you're looking for the Fisher Price Pocket Radio (probably looks somewhat like this: http://www.thisoldtoy.com/new-images/images-ok/700-799/fp746-smallworld-mb.JPG). They made several different ones, but I hope this helps narrow it down.
When I was about 4 (so we're talking 1981), I had a bath toy. I only dimly recall it. It was an animal, I think a dog. I think it was brown. It had two or three foam rollers across the bottom. It had a place inside of it where you could insert a bar of soap. The soap would flow down onto the foam rollers and you could wash yourself. I remember the rollers combined with the squishing of the soap did not exactly produce the quietest bath-- maybe this is why my mother secretly threw it away one day? I have been trying to think of the name and it's driving me bananas. Something about a Roller? Doggy? Doggy Roller? Roller Doggy? Bananas, I tell you. Bananas. Help me.
Hey, does anyone else remember a toy that kinda looked like a Gremlin type monster that you could dissect and remove the organs and guts?
It was really cool and I remember it came with a canister of green slime. (I can still remember the smell of that gunk even now)
On a side note I remember these little figures that came out of those 25 cent plastic bubble machines, like at a supermarket.
The were these little robot type figures that you had to snap together yourself and it came with a little bag of candy.
Pretty good deal for a quarter if you ask me!
LOL!
I am also looking for some dinosaur skeleton toys that I think were at McDonalds or Burger King.
I had a T-Rex and a Sabretooth skeleton, it was kinda neat.
Awesome RockerGirl! I think that may be it. Now to find out what song the one I had played. you.. rock! :P
Hey, I'm looking for some action figure I once had. It's more like a demonic thing with a long bone neck. It's torso is hairy and his legs appear to be worms. It also had a spider, which you could wrap around his back. It was one of my favourites, and well.. My mom threw away like.. Tons of toys. So I'm kinda pissed. If anyone could help me out, that would be so cool. Tim.
Ok way back in the beginning a guy was asking about a green figure with rubber arms and legs you can rip off and put back on, that's The Swamp Thing toy came out around the same time the movie did,and that valcaeno like toy was probabley snake mountain from the heman searies, and the guy asking about koalas with hats in teapot houses, look up The Little Koala Show toys, its a cartoon that was on Nick. The one that's killing me is A toy that came in a box like a board game you got white monster skeleton pieces (enough pieces to make two)that you snap together,(all parts even the jaw was movable) and then you put them into a clear tank that sat in a rust colored base, filled it with water and the mystery solution and your monster would grow skin, i just cant remember the name or find it any where......
The gladiator-tupe female dolls are called Golden Girls. They each were named after gemstoned (the red one is Ruby). The came with metal shields. The villain was "Dragonlady"
To Jamie: Yum Yums
I'm trying to find out the name of this doll: it was like 3 or 4 inches tall, and I think they were fairies. Each one came with a big flower and when you turned the key in the flower, it opened and it was her house. I think I had the tulip, and inside was a table and chairs. Does anyone remember what this was called??
My kids have that top in question...conical, blue/orange/yellow. Yes - the blue section is the base and you pull up and push down on the top orange ball. The flower opens when the top spins revealing a bee inside. As the top slows down, the flower closes. Definitely a keeper for those future grandchildren to enjoy.
I am looking for a stuffed animal i think it is a dragon its blue, yellow and white from the 80s has a bib that says niteynite and it glows in the dark it also has wings and a star on its head its hair is made of yarn, does anyone know the name of this stuffed animal or where i can find one i had one since i was three and that was over 20 years ago but i recently moved and it disappeared can anyone help me or does anyone know what kind of animal i am tlaking about
Can anyone help? I am trying to find a reference for a toy that I had as a kid in the late 80s/early 90s. It was a hippo party/tea set. I'm sure that it was called harriet or hillary hippo. The large pink hippo opened up her skirt was actually a tray, there were cups plates etc inside. Anyone else remember this???
I had this plush pink watch that attached by velcro... it was a butterfly and the wings were shiny. The part around the wrist was furry and the wings were pink yellow and i think purple. I believe there were other ones you could buy but i don't remember what bugs/animals they were? i got it in 1986 or 1987. Any help?

I'm trying to remember the name of these toys I used to see on tv when I was little; I never actually owned one but I really wanted to. They were little castle playsets, and I remember that they came in pastel kind of colors and the plastic was very glittery. I think they each had a key and a keyhole in the base that you used to open them (but they were NOT Precious Places). They each came with a princess and some little animal friends for her, like a baby dragon and whatnot, and I think the biggest castle might have had a horse and carriage. The figures were small, not the size of Barbie dolls or anything, but more like the size of Precious Places figures even though they were not the same thing. I hope someone knows these; I can't even begin to guess that they were called!
Amanda M - are you looking for Keytweens? http://www.smythstoys.com/keytweens/keytweens-princess-world-castle-g02253pd.aspx
Ok I cannot thing of the name of this toy. It was mini models of cars and trucks that kids could sit in and drive. They had a motor and everything.
MILLBROOK MISFIT, are you talking about Power Wheels??
Joe C and Ryguy - The toy line was called "Rocks and Bugs and Things."
Nope, they weren't Keytweens, Rockergirl. The ones I'm talking about were back in the early 90s or something, and the Keytweens look way more modern and cartoony than the toys I remember. Thanks, though. Any other ideas, anyone?
The 8th or so last picture (the squishy animals/people that squish into things) are called Smooshies.
My brother used to have this toy when we were kids. It was a stuffed dog he called "munchie mouth". He was yellow/orange and his mouth opened up. Inside there was an ice cream cone, hamburger and something else. I want to see if I can find one for my brothers oldest son. Help!
Does anyone remember a clear green action figure from the 70's or 80's. I remember you could see through all or part of it and I think it was of the Jolly Green giant. I don't know if it was a special thing or a mail-in offer or what. My Mom bought it for me at a garage sale around 1989 or 1990. I think the mower kid next door cut it in half and I lost track of the half I found in the dirt later on. I think it was between 3-6 inches. I was a kid and as a 6ft tall 260 pound man...it is tough to remember how big this action figure was. It was an all clear figure and it was green. It was similar to the Iceman that Toybiz released and that is part of the reason I decided to buy Iceman. It reminded me of the toy I had. A CLEAR GREEN FIGURE. If anyone has a clue please email me at cluehmann@juno.com
Looking for female action figure toys from the 80s I think they also had a cartoon- I belive there were 4 like fire, ice, etc or maybe Ruby and others. I know the ones I had had long red hair and another had blue hair.
I would love to find these dolls again.
RoxanneRhoads@aol.com
I have these miniature dolls, and i'm trying to find out what they are. They are little rubber dolls, about 1 inch high (bigger than polly pockets) and they have holes in their backs where they used to snap on to plastic bracelets and rings. I remember my bracelet was lime green. This was circa 1990 because i remember trading them with the other girls in 1st grade. Sound familiar to anyone?
erin- the mermaids were alled see wees. i had many, they were different colors and each had a different color hair. the babies matched the mom and the the later versions came with a pet. i believe they came with a comb and their sponges were in the shape of lilypads. they were some of my most FAVORITE toys of childhood.
i looked on here for the the same thing as anji, there was a hippo and an octopus that were felty and changed color in the bath.
i had an educational set of books in the early 80s. each book would have a story and then a series of multiple choice questions about the story. it came with a gold metal pen that would light up when you answered the questions correctly. each booklet was 3x5 inches and had plastic binding on the end like a flip book. email me at jenniferhelmin@aol.com
***PLEASE HELP**** I HAD THIS PINK MOUSE AND IT CAME WITH A BOTTLE AND A PACIFIER. WHEN YOU PUT IT IN THE MOUTH THE EARS WOULD WIGGLE AND THE MOUTH WOULD ACTUALLY SUCK. THE MOUTH HAD A METAL PIECE SO THAT THE BOTTLE AND PACIFER WOULD STAY IN PLACE. I THINK IT WAS CALLED "PEPINA THE MOUSE" NOT SURE THOUGH CAUSE I CANNOT FIND IT WITH THAT SPELLING. PLEASE HELP!
trying to find out about 3 toys: #1- tabletop driving game, red colored toy with a black wheel. you could change lanes and shift gears to avoid other cars on the road. i think it was around in the late 80s #2- talking lap computer. gray in color with interchangeable cartridges (math, reading, etc.) it also had spiral booklets of games. you would match the cartridge with the booklet and press the "go" or "play" button & since it was located in a different spot on every game that's how the computer would know what game you selected. #3- squishy hand puppets from toys r us, i had one of the dominos noid and my brother had howdy doody. they may not even have names but i would love to find one. thanks for reading
Please help!!!! I am trying to remember what the toy was called , that had a small doll that had a very long wide dress that was blue & pink with polk a dots on it, that covered a dome shaped dollhouse.
I'm looking for a toy I had when I was young. It was a learning system with an owl that lit up when you had the correct answer on the page. It came in a briefcase type container with multiple pages of things to work on like reading and math. Apparently it was sold door to door. I think the Owl was called Oscar. If anyone has any information about this please let me know!
Hi folks. My brother and I have been trying to remember what the name of a toy we used to have is. It was a plastic, yellow book that opened up and you could put in sort of "cartridges" but not in the classical sense. It was more like a sheet of plastic with characters on it, and the characters could move. It would travel along a track and tell a story. You could shine a flashlight through it and project it onto a background. My sister thinks it's Storytime Theater, but it's definitely NOT the same Storytime Theater toy they make today. It was Disney-themed, with one of the stories definitely including Mickey Mouse. It might have come with an audio cassette to narrate the story. Please e-mail me at damonius+disneytoy@gmail.com if you know what it is!
Does anyone remember a toy where Snoopy was on a motorcycle and you launched him with a set of handlebars? I am looking for one for my grandson because his Dad loved his. We can't think of what it was called.
Please help! I've been searching forever! I'm looking for a toy jewelry shop. It had everything from necklaces, to earings, and tiaras. They were silver and gold plastic, tiny pieces. They weren't made for barbie, but they fit her. If anyone can help, please email me, I would greatly appreciate it! samanthau81@yahoo.com thanks so much!
I've got the answer to one! The hair clips/bracelets/necklaces with the tacky makeup colors inside, and you had to twist the makeup piece off its base to use it, was called FAZZ. There is a commercial of it up on YouTube.
Here's a toy I need to know about: Circa 1984-1987, it was a series of plastic jewelry. Each set came with white pearlized pop-beads and plastic rhinestones that snapped into a plastic casing, so you could "Create" your own jewelry design. There was also a jewelry box that you could decorate by snapping different colored rhinestones into. I've looked ALL OVER and can't find a single thing about these jewelry sets! I loved them!
For the life of me, I cannot remember this toy. It was a miniature carry along doll house. It was similar to "Polly Pocket" I'm think it was either made by blue box or blue bird. It folded out, I believe & had two stories. It came with small furniture & people, the people weren't posable they had little circles on the bottom of them & the house itself had cutouts of where you could place them. That's about all I remember. It's been driving me crazy for ages..I just can't seem to find anything on these little doll houses!! If anyone knows what they are called, or remembers them & who they were made by please let me know! Via email, or here. Thank you! -Cnote email: blueberrybluntz@gmail.com
nichole wrote about a baby doll "She has sand body blue and white polka dotted"
DId this doll talk? cuz i had a doll that had a blue & white polka dot body and her name was DROWSY! does she look tired? haha
If its the same, i used to LOVE HER!
I had a toy in the 80s that was a large plastic maze. I think it was maybe green and orange. You put a marble into it, then you moved a tiny joystick to make the floor of the maze tilt to move the marble through the maze to the end. It was kind of like Marble Madness, but it wasn't a video game. Any clue what this was? I really loved it! I want to buy one on eBay, but I can't find it searching for stuff like "marble maze game" and other similar searches.
OMG I just found it through Google Images after years of searching! The game was called Screwball Scramble, also called SNAFU. You can see videos of it on YouTube. :)
80's? Looks kinda like little Glo Worms but I think it was different. Was a bug playset. The bugs house had green tubes on it. The tubes looked like the tubes you get when you buy a hamster cage (a real hamster). My dad brought it home one day from work. Help!! It was my favorite. email me if you know. sweetpea127@optonline.net thanks
to AJ25 -- there's a page here (http://www.inthe80s.com/toys/moppetssecretdollhouse0.shtml) about a doll with polka dot dress covering a round dollhouse like you mentioned. It's called Moppet's Secret Dollhouse.

Need the name of a toy/toyline. I used to have this toy when I was a kid. I am guessing it came out around 1988-1989. It was a small (about 8 inch by 4 inch) armored military boat that I think had all kinds of doors, hidden guns, opened up in the front and I think had another vehicle inside, and it came with very small (about 1 inch) action figure that only bent in half for the purpose of sitting. I thought it was "Army G.E.A.R." at first because of the action figure, but I couldnt find anything that looked like it when searching through pics of army gear, but the figures are similar in size. I remember playing with my Army gear stuff with it, and I am pretty sure I got this toy around the same time (if not the same time) I got Army Gear toys, so I think it might have been made by Galoob, but after intense research, I still have yet to find it. Please please please help me figure out what this toyline was, I have been searching for 2 days non stop trying to figure it out.
A toy consisting of a 8 to 12 inch stick or tube,and from both ends had a 6" string attached to 1.5 to 2" rubber balls. Something along the lines of a yo-yo. I think it was a Yakkabuchi maybe. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Anyone remember those colorful charm necklaces? I had a red chain(plastic of course) and it had all these little charms like a baby bottle, a car, a tennis racket, a bell, etc. Anyone remember exactly what they were called and where I can find one (looked on Ebay no luck)
Shonda, The charms your referring to are on this website under 80's Plastic Charms. In the # list.
Does anyone remember a bath toy i think it was made by tomy. It was a man on a diving board and you filled it up with water, when there was enough water in it the diver would jump off in to the bath. There was also a tap that you could stick to the side of the bath ans fill with water. When it was full you could twist it and watch the eater come out. Anyone have a clue what these were called or where i could find them?
Jill T.-The game your looking for is called "pass the nuts". It was made by Tomy in 1974. I have one, if you would like to see a pic let me know. I'm new to this site so not sure how to post pics but I'll look around a bit.
Im looking for a doll stroller from the 80's called the "merry-go-round" stroller, it was made by Coleco, it had two seats facing back to back with a big umbrella over top and one large handle that when it was pushed the umbrella would turn around and make music, I would love to see a photo of this and even purchase it if anyone had one available. thanks!!!
Joanna/Jennifer, you will be looking for this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3417/3371630455_1399e05ac2.jpg Matchbox Shoe House!
I have some figures the size of a finger nail which look a lot like tinkle tots figure. They also have accesories such a miniature train and carriage etc. All pastel colours as well. An ideas ???
I had a toy similar to a lite brite in the mid 1980's. It was a box with an angled face. The box was white, the face was black. It had little "bubbles" you would push out to make a picture that would light up. It came with a tool that had a roller on one side and a single punch on the other. I think it might have had a square and triangle tool, too, but I can't be sure. Does anyone remember something like this? It's driving me batty that I can't remember the name.
Does anyone remember a doll from the late 80's early 90's that had brown hair and blue eyes? He came with a backpack, little yellow school desk, a book, and a little report card. He was similar to the My Buddy Dolls but was much smaller and much less expensive. Thanks!!!
hey does anyonr remember the name of the purple metallic doll i think w white hair,im not sure about the hair but she was metallic about the size of a jem doll,she also had a robot dog that was silver w white fur trim,what was the dolls name???spektra idk help!!!
I had a Charlie Barley toy in a little plastic mug but I never did see the TV show or whatever else it was inspired by. I think the mushroom's name was Freddy Fungus.
I'm looking for a small action figure from the 1980's. It was a robot that had a suction cup on the bottom and a button on the back that you could push to make the arms squeeze shut. I think the character was part of a series and was named "Desoto(?)". It was black and purple and brown and looked a little bit like the robot from the Lost in Space TV series. Anyone remember this one?
Whoa, I think I had that same exact toy, Laura! I remember that some of the bubbles on mine got broken and then I couldn't really use it anymore. But unfortunately I can't remember the name, either. D: This is going to bug me now. If anybody remembers what this toy is called, I'd like to know, too!
I'm trying to remember a toy a friend of mine had as a kid. There was some kind of little troll like figure and a monster that was disguised as a grassy hill and it could eat the troll guy. At least I think the troll was assosiated with it. I'm more interested in the monster that looked like a hill.
Joe,
The robot with a suction cup on the bottom was part of 'Robo Force' which can be found on this very website. XD
Also here - http://www.i-mockery.com/roboforce/
The robot you have is actually called 'SOTA' so you're not far off.
In the early 80's I got a soft doll for Christmas that I LOVED and kept till I was 18. I wanted to keep it for my children but I lost it when I moved away for college. It was a new born baby wrapped in a blanket and had a round plastic rattle sewn to one of it's hands. What I loved the most was that it was a hand puppet and you could make it's hands and head move and it looked like a real baby! Does anyone know what this doll is called and if I could buy it anywhere? I would love to get one for my 6 year old niece, she would LOVE IT!
Susana, I had the same doll!! It is driving me nuts!
Does anyone remember the game/maze with the silver metal ball that you had to get thru the maze? It had different obstacles to get thru. The base was green plastic (I think) I remember metal bars in a "V" that you opened and closed to get the ball across, a magnet arm that carried the ball to the next obstacle, holes you had to bounce the ball thru, etc. I can see it clearly in my mind but have NO IDEA what its called or where to even begin looking.
I am looking for a game we had in the early to mid-80's. It was white with a clear blue lid. It kind of looked like a space helmet on a stand, The blue face shield like are would open and you played the game that I think was possibly a cross between SImon and Merlin. I thought it was called Omni, but of course I could be wrong.
@ Holly, what you are referring to is Screwball Scramble, its pictured on this website.
Jadedoz... THANK YOU!!! You have ended hours of searching!
After looking on ebay I realize that my game was the original 1979 version called "Run yourself ragged" --- showing my age I guess LOL
Back in Christmas of 1983, I got one of the "hot" gifts back then. It was a plastic belt, with a car launcher as the buckle. I believe it came with a Hot Wheels type of car, but I could be wrong on that. You could unloop the belt and turn it into a track. The buckle housed a small matchbox-like car you could launch along the track. I don't remember who made the belt or what it was called. The only thing I remember was that the plastic belt/track was blue. It may have had yellow or red stripes. Someone suggested it might have been a Wrist Racer, but I distinctly recall it was a belt. I wore it to school one day. Does anyone remember what this could be?
Unique toy of the 80's??? I am looking for a toy that I had as a child. It was a plastic, oval shaped disk that contained 2 colors of sand. One of the colors was pink and the other was glow-in-the-dark sand. The glow-in-the-dark sand was somewhat heavier than the pink sand. When you hold the disk up or rotate it, it creates different mountain sort of shapes. Anyone ever seen one of these?
I had a ballerina doll that had a wind up key that danced and spins on its own but I do not know what ever happened to it and dont remeber the name it had dark hair and tan complection please help me find it
Hello! I am trying to remember something that was not around for long but at the time was a trend in viewing movies at home. It was a disc player of some kind. However, the discs were large rectangles and every movie required the disc to be flipped and scanned on the back side to continue to the end of the movie. My grandfather had one but I cannot ask him as he passed when I was 12. (Cannot believe that was 20 years ago!) The name is on the tip of my tongue but I cannot quite get it out. Does anyone have an idea what I am talking about? And the brand name? Thanks so much.
I'm looking for this electronic game. It was a headset that had a microphone that you spoke into. You went on adventures like into space. It would ask you a question and you said yes or no and the story changed with your answer. You could also change the narrator's voice to your liking. I believe it had cartridges for different adventures that you could plug into the one side of the headset. does ANYONE know what i'm talking about? My brother had one and i'm pretty sure it came out in the 80's. Thanks!!
In the 80s, I had a plastic race game where you would manipulate a small steel ball around a maze. It had a wound up timer. Dying to remember what this game is!
Eric, what your reffering to is Screwball Scramble, its listed on this website as well.
Becky -- would you be looking for something like "Choose Your Own Adventure"? I know they made books, but I don't know about any games.
Do any of you remember finger frights? Well i have some of those with whole bodies (torso, legs, & tail. Same heads & arms though. Can you all please help me figure out what these things are called?
My husband has a weird stuffed animal. It looks like a monchichi but I don't think it is. The monchichis have human looking ears and this has bear looking ears on top of its head. It is tan in color and sucks its thumb. It has the same face as a monchichi with big blue eyes and a black tip nose. You can also link its hands together. The animal is over 24 years old b/c his mom used it during lamaze classes when preggers with him if that gives anyone a better time frame. Thanks in advance for any help!
Jamie-Lynn - The girl and boy dolls sold separately with the wedding dresses and tuxes are called Family Corners and they're from the mid-90s.
Amanda M. - Maybe Princess of the Flowers? They were from the early 90s and had a key toward the base. They came with a princess and little animals.
Melinda, maybe you are looking for a Whoopsie doll? She wore pink and her braids flew up when you pressed her belly.
Nikki - Doodle Bear was multicolored and had buttons and other stuff on him.
Okay, folks... got one for ya. It is about a 3.5 inch goblin, greenish yellow, red eyes. Is a solid piece, and does not move. It is hunched over and has one hand upturned. Long tail. I believe it came in black and gray packaging w/ a taller figure that was in purple, had a removeable helmet. It is some kind of magic/knight line. We are racking our brains on this one.
Elle from July 10
I had one called Chubbles...when you pass your hand in front of his face he made a weird sound...I loved it and it drove my parents mad because it would go off at night sometimes...
Chris from Dec. 2009
It is called MagicWindow from WHAM-O..actually made in the 1970's
going nuts trying to remember this one. There was a range of tiny die cast futuristic military tanks and airships released over here in the UK during the late 80s. The missiles, turrets and other little moving bits were in plastic. The range was split into two factions, sort of analogous to NATO and soviet Russia. Each vehicle you bought came with a little diagram on the back explaining the technical details of the tank in question. The toys were pretty high quality, with some ingenuous vehicle designs. Aargh, I've just about torn my hair out over the last few years trying to remember what the toys were called! Can someone help put this particular childhood ghost to rest?
Carl - Was your toy a Girder and Panel set?
The patent was purchased and was being remanufactured....will see if I can find it.
Carl - Girder and Panel is now made by Bridge Street Toys. You can google it and find it.

Does anyone know of this game, what it was called and ifthere's anywhere i could purchase one from? Thanks.
The person looking for a name for the bird that flapped it's wing when you pushed a button is part of the "He-Man" (Masters of the Universe) collection. My son had this.
I've been looking for an interactive VHS I had as a child circa 1988-92. I thought it was a Whiz Kid owl, but I can't find it. An owl teacher taught you how to read and about the alphabet. Anyone have any idea or information about this?
hey yall iam looking for a stuffed toy dog that i had when i was younger it had brown ears if u pressed its ear it would say " OUCH THAT HURTS" or if u gave it a hug it would say "AHH I LOVE YOU TOO". if u you know what the name of it is or where i can find one just e-mail me @ ronk1985@yahoo.com
I need help figuring out a certain electronic toy I had. It was brown, and shaped like a much more square Speak & Spell. It had slide in cards that slid into its face. The face was pressure sensitive and the cards would have buttons printed on them. These printed buttons were used to interact with the game. The toy changed between educational games by inserting hard white plastic records into it's side. It had sound and voice. I MUST find out what it was!
Hey y'all - for years I've been looking for a small palm sized dog I had in the early 80s or very late 70s. He was asleep with eyes closed. He wasn't more than 4 inches or so long and I think he might have been called puppy love or love puppy. I can't remember but I have to find one. If you know what I'm talking about, please shoot me an email. Thank you! denalambert@att.net

I'm trying to find a series of dolls from the late 80s time period. They were adorable, about 4 inches tall, and came in a wide variety of hairstyles and eye colors. They also had really cute clothes that came with them and sold seperately. I'm almost positive they were called Hush a Bye babies, but I can't seem to find anything when I'm searching for that! Thanks for any help!
Jay, my brother had a toy that sounds very similiar to what you described. His was a Whiz Kid. It was like a little laptop, beige and brown, and it had hard cards that you would slide into the side to play various games. The cards were not plastic though...more like a hard cardstock or something of that nature. Hope that helps!
hey i am trying to find this really awesome "scoot thing" i had as a kid. it was maroon colored plastic that you sat on, it had a place for your bum and it was on wheels...then you would put your feet on the handlebars and sway back and forth to get it to move! anyone know??
at Melissa, The wcoot thing your reffering to may be a Shufflebug
Looking for some replacement parts for a trucking racing set I got in the 80's for Xmas. My son come across at my Dad's and had to have it. Not sure if anybody would have had one also. It's a four lane race track thats goes downhill and at the bottom there is a battery operated escalator device that drags the trucks back up to the starting line. Im missing a prop that holds up track piece H and the lap counter that goes atop the starting line. Not sure if the escalator work either, if anyone has a truck set that sounds familar to this please let me know.

Hi, i am wanting to find the name of a game i used to have in the 80's, it was a hoop with handles on that you then put a ball inside and moved to kepp the ball in the hoop. The hoop was made of 2 colours either side of the hoop. does anyone know what this was called?
HELP! I used to have this battery powered vehicle that had 8-10 wheels. I remember being pretty long. It had a lever on the back of it to turn it on and off. It would crawl over anything much like a caterpillar. Probably around 1984-1986. Anybody know of it or what it was called?
We are trying to find out what the name is of a game that my daughter had when she was little. It was a device that shot out cards and there were little hands on the end of sticks that had suction cups , and u would slap them down on the cards. Not even sure wht the idea of the game was. Plz help. It was around 1983.
if u know the name of the game above, plz email me at flatrocksue@hotmail.com
I'm trying to figure out the name of this plush stuffed animal type thing from the late 80's or early 90's, they had multicolored fur they came in all different kinds of colors, they were fuzzy almost and their hair was almost like nylon. Any ideas? Thanks :)
I'm trying to find a name of those toys that you get at zoos - where there is an animal on a stand, and you squeeze two buttons, the animal falls down. You let go of the buttons and they pop back up. The animal body is filled with little rubber bands so it falls down when you lessen the tension by pushing the buttons in. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Where can I get these?
I don't know if this mystery was solved yet (there are lots of comments here to go through) but the transforming robot toys that were being kept in the grey zipper case are called Mysterians. After years of wondering what those were I just found out today.
Melissa, The red toy that you sat on with handle bars that you put your feet on is called the Roller Racer.
I'm trying to remember the names of these little colorful baby dolls, they had colorful hair and blankets.
I had a blue, green, yellow, pink, and I think an orange and purple one, their hair matched their outfit, and blanket, and they are small.
Please help me think of the name, thanks.
TO Megan and Laura above..the light bright like toy is called Lights Alive. I too had one and finally found it on ebay but had the same trouble coming up w/ the name. Took a lot of googling, ebaying, etc.
Did anyone ever figure out what the car was that had the little gas pump and the dials on the bottom that'd go from "empty" to "full" when you would fill it up with the gas pump? I think it may have been modeled after a red trans am, but I have no idea what it was called. This was from 1985-87.
I found the car!! I looked at the site that Erik had mentioned above again (www.firebirdtoys.com) and the person must have added more information, as when I found the part w/ the pic of the black car that Erik found, there are now 3 other pics of a red and silver one, and they were in the box!! So I got the name of it. It was called "fuel and go firebird". Now if only I could find one to buy....ebay had nothing :(
The blonde doll in the yellow onesie is a no-brand doll still sold in Family Dollar stores, and still comes in similar clothes to those she wore in the 80s. Depending on the price od the playset, she'll come with a dress, a blanket, a bottle, and various other "baby things".
I had a couple of toy dinosaursin the 90's. They were similar to Barney, anthropomorphic and and cartoonish. They were very colorful, made of plastic, hollow (but not in a way that could be indented), and if I remember correctly had a tuft of plastic hair on their heads. The one I remember best was mainly yellow. Does anyone know the toys I am talking about?
Also, they were approximately 6-8 inches tall.
I am trying to find something that I had in the 1980's if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. It was a pink box with a white lid and it was full of things for a doll like a bottle, plate, cuttlery, bibs an egg and egg cup plus loads of other things. The box had a picture of a little dog on the front. Thats all I can remember - does anyone know what make it was? I have looked on e-bay but nobody is selling one. Many Thanks
Wow, my daughter was born in 1988 - didn't realize so many were so sentimental about so many of those toys. I probably still have some here or there - am just in the process of getting rid of things. In 2007 on here Tiffany wanted to know about a skating rink with a magnet type key that would move the people. I don't know, but it may be the Pretty Playhouse dollhouse et. al. I have a whole set my kids never played with, although it isn't new or wasn't when I received it from someone. I think the keys lit up lights and that kind of thing - would have to look at it. But I think that is what it was called - when I come across it I will confirm it - hopefull soon when the weather warms up - in the garage.
oh wow! i had a lot of those unknown toys. the bird where you squeeze the legs was my fave. There were a lot of them. They came off a tv show. Oh and i think the puppy with the heart talked or it may have been a diff one! I had too many toys. One of those maybe pollypocket, but who knows if something came before polly pocket. the little robot guys with the buttons were neat. One you put little cards in and responded to the cards. shouldn't the name be on it somewhere? the mattel 1986 one is either a bunny or a puppy, but I can't remember what it was. Think it dealt with a show, but i doubt it. I just remember the commericals The parrot that says what you say was popular til the late nineties. I only saw it toysRus constantly cause I was alway sin the mall. really don't know how to contact about these items to help figure out what they are. My mind is kinda numb from homework....
oh yeah and the reason i came here is my friend posted something and i am reposting it to see what anyone can think of. respond to lesliejanay@yahoo.com.....Here's what she said, "Dont know why but I am trying to figure it out now that it's popped in my head. Trying to remember the name of a toy I remember from youth. Where they were kittens/cats that had been left at the petshop cause no one wanted them so they dressed as other pets to get adopted.(funny how i can remember how they ended up doing it just not what they were called)...Anyone remember?"
Hey Janay, after I read your comment, I had heard of them, but couldn't remember the name, then I went to the letter P page and found them.
They are called Purr-Tenders.
Andrea, they where called Precious Places, I had the wedding chapel, and can't remember if I had any of the others.
Does anyone remember a smallish rubber ball with streamers attached, that you swung around and threw and it would go farther because of the inertia... it was called "ORBI" ??
Rachel you are thinking of Furry Families.
Michelle M.,I believe the game was called groove tube. Mine was pink and blue with a green ball.
Jen you mentioned those bears with dome shaped noses those are called Nosey Bears.
@Jeff: Thank you so much! I would have never guessed that was the name.
I wish I had pictures of them but I need to know the name/type of dolls these are. I no longer remember what they were called and it is driving me nuts! There were several dolls in the set all about 16" tall. They had a barbie type shape over all but were not Super-size Barbies! They came in neat fashions. I had a blonde in a safari outfit with pith helmet and boots as well as a brunette with green eyes in a yellow bikini, green sarong and a straw hat. They reminded me of a very cheap knock off of the collector doll Alex by Tonner Dolls.
Rachel - the she-ra look-alike dolls were called Golden Girls, Guardians of the Gemstone.
I solved my own mystery. The bears were called Light Up Beamer Bears, produced by Lanard. The other unidentified toy was 'Diver Dan' manufactured by Matchbox. Hope this helps others out there.
Okay, I would like to revive this super old and obscure post, and give you the CORRECT answer of what this thing is. This is Zoar from the He-Man toys of the 80s. You know how the Sorceress turned into that white bird (an additional figure that this one is based on.) It is insinuated that "Zoar" is supposed to be the bird form of Evil-Lyn.
To the person who mentioned having a stuffed animal that was part sheep and part camel I think that's a furfel.
Hello! I'm looking for the name this girls' toy: They were small, colourful animals with long, brushable hair. Their "homes" were plastic perfume bottles. I remember having a white cat in a sitting pose and a pink poodle that was sitting up.... Any help would be greatly appreciated; thanks! =)
I'm sitting here looking at this stuffed animal: It's a bunny. Small, roundish body; largish head (it's bigger than the body); large feet. It has a big, fluffy tail and a tuft of hair on its head. From head to toe, it's about 9". The ears themselves are about 13" and are bendable (the edges contain wire). Mine is dark pink with light hair/tail; the inside of the ears are light pink with tiny purple hearts.
@Melissa: They were called 'Roller Racers.' @Massimo: Try Googling 'Collapsible Animals' - Brio makes some and various toy and novelty companies sell them. I've also seen them in the toy section at Cost Plus World Market. @Shay: I don't remember the animal toys, but there used to be a line of miniature dolls that lived in plastic perfume bottles called Liddle Kiddle Kolognes.
i am looking for a magenta colored stuffed animal i think it was a baby bunny or puppy, it had a big head and a slightly smaller soft body with little nubs as its arms and legs it had no fingers or toes, it had a little plastic rounded mold in its mouth to push the bottle into and when the bottle was pushed into its mouth its mouth would move and it would make a sucking sound like its drinking and its ears would go up and down as it was sucking, does any one remeber any thing about this toy? unfotunatly i dont rember who it was made by or when it was made, if anyone has any inf please send ma an email at imean12@yahoo.com, thank you
There were these necklaces that were little plastic houses (clear) with tiny little dolls inside. The dolls were plastic with long hair in a pony tail. I have no idea what they were called and dont know if they were even popular enough for anyone to remember them :(
SHAY- Sounds like a "Grabbit"...I think it is the baby version, if she has a thumb sticking out and an open mouth. Seems like her name is "Grace".
I'm looking for a pretend laptop game from the late 80's/early 90's. It was blue, and was an educational game I believe. I remember there was a game with a dog where it would say "dig for bones!" and then you ha to tell it the number of bones. Also, you could "make the robot dance!" by making up a dance by combining a small number of moves. Probably had spelling and math games too. I can't find it anywhere, help!
Hey everyone...I'm trying to remember the name of a doll I had...she came with a tube of lipstick and you would put the lipstick on her and yourself...when you would put her lips to your cheak her lips would move and puckers and she made a kiss noise. If anyone remembers what its called I'd greatly apretiate someone letting me know. Thank you. You can email me at browneyedtigerangel8705@yahoo.com if you remember then name. Thank you again.
Also I am looking for the name of foam shapes that you can use in the bath tub...I remember me and my sister had them when we were little and I loved them...they were all different colors. If anyone knows the name email me browneyedtigerangel8705@yahoo.com Thank you.
I thought up another one I am wondering about...I used to have these plastic toys...you fill them up with water...inside were these tiny plastic balls and there was one button...you would press the button and blowing air up through the water and try to get the balls in little baskets. Thank you for the help. browneyedtigerangel8705@yahoo.com
NICKIE, the plastic toys with the balls that you fill with water are Waterfulls by Tomy (look for them on this site under 'W').
Really trying to find out the name of an awesome late 80's early 90's teddy monster bear. His head would change inside out from a nice bear to a monster face with fangs. It also came with an audio cassette tape that played a horror story about your bear. I thouht they were called terror bears or scare bears something like that, but can't find anythingabout them. Mine was yellow, average teddy bear size with a black and white striped t shirt, but there were several others. It will be legend to find this out!
I had a mouse like the on in the top photo and im sure it was called teenie or something like that, think it sucked the bottle
Made by 'caleco, 1980's - figuers have magnets on their boots as do the toys. The are STARCOM or rather Star Command action figure,
I can't remember what this doll was called anymore. This picture is from 85 or 86, somewhere in there. This yellow & orange guy with the propeller is ROBOTMAN ,there is a girl version friend named SteLLa
Was just looking through some toys I still have in the house from when my sis and I were little and I was wondering if anyone could help me. My sister had a doll that came with a brush...top part is a heart shaped brush and bottom half is a spray bottle...I remember it came with glitter so you could spray glitter in her hair. If anyone knows what the dolls is called or any of my previous posts nobody was able to help me with email me please. Thank you. browneyedtigerangel8705@yahoo.com
Just a quick another one...I had a doll that had a heart on her chest...she came with a thermometer, stethoscope, and I think a suringe needle...you could place the heart shaped end of the stethoscope on the heart on her chest and you could hear her heart beat. The thermometer has just two smiley faces in it one smiling and one frowning. I still have the thermometer...its pink and green and says 100.1. If anyone remembers the name of the dolls please email me. Thank you browneyedtigerangel8705@yahoo.com
The picture of the Mattel purple bird with the moving wings is a He-Man figure, I believe it is the Sorceress when she changes into a bird? My brother has two!
@ Nickie, the doll your talking about with the thermometer was possibly Amazing Amy.
Hey I am trying to figure out the name of a toy that I had in the early 80s. It was a large blue box that opened up to become a car track, with two bridges (one of stone and the other wood) that you would link the two halves with. It held cars inside it that you would run around the tracks after you set it up. Thanks!
RYAN, I think you are talking about Shuffletown playsets (made by Mattel, I believe). I could be wrong. The Shuffletown sets had no loose pieces, so the cars and other vehicles were permanently attached to the track. Is that what you're thinking of?
@ Ally: the teddy bear monsters are called Werebears (type it into Google, they have a whole website for them) :)
Yeah thanks Aia that's them! I found out my werebear was called grizzler. Awesome toys, Cheers.
I am wondering if any ones knows the name of a little doll inside a locket that you can fold her up and use as a necklace, or have her exposed with a jewel in the front?
@ blancab80, what you are referring to is Sweet Secrets. They are listed on this website, with photos I submitted.
@SZA I could not find a picture of that Shuffletown, I believe the playset I am talking about has pieces because they are stored inside of it when it closes up. It is basically a blue box or suit case that folds out to create the playset (all made of hard plastic).
Then you put the bridges on it to cover the middle area that is the base of the case and you put your cars on it. I have no idea who made this toy or what it is called. Thanks for the suggestion!!
I know this is 80's toys but does any one know the name of this toy? It was a small dog (kinda like a beanie baby) but it had a string on the front and padded paws so that if you pulled on the string, it would walk. I had in around 1999 or so. Can anyone help?
Brandi91, the first thing that came to my mind when I read your description was a toy called either Tuggles the Walking Pup, or Tuggles the Follow Me Puppy. It was something like that, anyway, and I know the name was Tuggles. I never had one myself but I remember the commercials a bit. It was just a pull toy puppy, but because of the way its paws were, it bounced a little and seemed to walk when you pulled it. Does that sound right?
HELP! Im looking for the name of a series of small girls animal toys that are from 1993...There was three to a set, a fuzzy mom that had brushable colored hair and two rubber babies. There was always one boy baby (ususally blue) and one girl (usually pink). The enscription on the bottom says Mattel 1993. I had a bunch of these but have only two left now. PLEASE HELP!! THX!! =)
Hi! I am trying to remember the name of a learning game from the 80s or early 90s, it had different themes, one I remember was about dinosaurs, I think it was narrated by a cassette and there were songs about dinosaurs and some kind of cards, I think. I have seen the Little Thinkers tapes seriers, but I don't think it is the same thing, I don't remember drawing anything but it was like a game I played with my cousin.
My husband has a weird stuffed animal. It looks like a monchichi but I don't think it is. The monchichis have human looking ears and this has bear looking ears on top of its head. It is tan in color and sucks its thumb. It has the same face as a monchichi with big blue eyes and a black tip nose. You can also link its hands together. The animal is over 24 years old b/c his mom used it during lamaze classes when preggers with him if that gives anyone a better time frame. Thanks in advance for any help!
UNKNOWN ROBOT TOY: Found an old toy of mine for the 80's and cant remember the name of it for the life of em. 1st off its a wind up robot shaped like a triceratops,instead of horns it has battering rams and the mouth hinges down so the little figure sits inside like a cockpit...and it walks..I remember there was a series of them another one which I didnt get was a giant gorilla..they where diff sizes too the 1 I have big enough to take up the size of your hand but the gorilla was much bigger
have a white toy mouse thats posing,slightly scented and it has long hair with a bow and the tail has a brush at the end. got as a present late 80s early 90s. anyone know what its called? being searching for years
I had a toy car set in the early 80's, It was 3 cars that if I remember correctly were Indy or F1 cars. You placed them on a track, press a button or pull a lever (I can't remember) and they would race down hill around I believe 3 ovals to the finish line. I just remembered having that toy set yesterday. Does anyone remember these? Or know what they were called?
Nickie that doll that came with the thermometer and stethoscope is probably Baby Check-up.
Ok, I'm Trying to remember the name of a kid's vehicle from when I was a child. It was basically a seat with handles that you leaned/wiggled to move. It had no pedals. If I'm remembering it correctly, the seat was triangular. If any one knows the name of it, that would be awesome. Thanks.
@ Brandi, What your referring to may be a Shuffle Bug.
I had a doll called No More Tears also, although she never cried. She did wet though. I also had a doll called Serenella who used to laugh when you shook her. I cannot find any reference to her anywhere. I would loove to find her again.
I had these toy motorized toy cars and a van that when you pressed a button, they would transform. The black trans am had wings pop out on the sides. The yellow camaro had missile launchers pop out and the van, which looked like the ATEAM van had guns pop out of it too. It wasnt MASK because no drivers were with it. I think it was pre-MASK in fact. Any ideas what they were called?
When I was little my mom ordered this educational (but really fun looking; I'm the one who begged her to get it for me) "kit" for lack of a better word. Anyway, it came in a plastic box in the shape of a bus & had stickers you put on the outside so as to look like ppl were riding on the bus. I always enjoyed it, but mom threw it out after a year or so. Would love ANY feedback! Thanks in advance!
it was called crissy
Leanne, the purple bird is Screeech without it's battle armour on (Sorceress turned into Zoar). The mould used for it was apparently previoously used for Mattel's Jim Eacgle set (1972/1973)
criisy doll with velvet and it was also called beautiful crissy dahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am trying to find a couple of toys that I had. They are either from the 80s or 90s. One is a playset that came with a small doll that had yellow, curly, puffy hair. She had a pink swimsuit and a white bath robe. The play set could fold out. It had a pool with a diving board and a slide. It also had a hot pink bath house (or I think i turned it into a shower stall). It seems like it also had a bathtub maybe.
I remember another playset my sister had either from the 70s or 80s. She thinks it was called powder puff playset. It was pink and heart shaped. There was a yellow car with a heart on it. There was also an elevator inside the playset. Does anyone remember this or know where to find it?
There is another toy I am trying to find. It was a set of twin toddlers, boy and girl. The girl had pigtails and both had blonde hair. The set came with accessories: pink play pen (I think it had a heart on it) and a blue rocking horse that they sit in. I've looked at the Heart Family sets and they resemble to ones I had, but I can't find this set anywhere.
Ok, I found a link for powder puff sweetheart playhouse for anyone else looking for it:

I'm looking for a toy -- it was a plastic fishing game/toy -- pretty small -- i think electronic -- you held a mini fishing pole over little holes with fish in them with snappy mouths. anyone know what i'm talking about???
Hillary: I LOVED that game when I was little. It's just called Fishing Game, and they've brought it back. You can find them at Toys R Us, Gordmans and probably Wal Mart.
Looking for an action figure, 80s I believe, the figure is made of black stretchy elastic with a hard plastic head, and hard plastic snap-on armor, there were only 5 or 6 in the set as far as I remember. Thanks.(repost) curious as well
Remember the plastic shoelace decorations from the 80s? I used to get them at Hallmark, and I think they came with 3 of the same charm on a card (I remember the pink pig in particular). I am trying to find out what the brand name was so I can try find some on ebay. I have searched "shoelace decoration" and every variation I can with no luck.
OK, I FINALLY found one of the toys I was looking for (the swimming pool/bathtub one). It is a Kenner 1987 Wish World Kids toy called Sponge n Plunge. The bathtub turns into a swimming pool.
80's "Japanese" Speed Racer type doll..Could it be Super Dave? Seems like it rings a bell..
Okay, I used to buy at the drug store, a packet, about the size of a comic book, that had a cardboard scene in it. You would then take a sheet of decals that you would like up on the scene wherever you wanted, then rub a pencil on the back of the decal to transfer it to the scene. Does anyone know what these were called?
I meant line up on that last post by the way.
Is this the talking parrot in the picture? I used to have a brown bear that did the same thing: http://nservices.com/animated.htm#The%20Classic%20Original%20Talking%20Repeat%20Parrot
I used to have this doll and I think her name was Candy. She was sort of like Barbie. She came with this stuff that looked like eyeshadow but it was hair dye. Does anyone remember her or have a picture of her? She was from the 80's I believe. She was either named candy or made by candies.
I dont remember much about them, but there were based on a cartoon (I think). Really cool white vehicles, all different designs. I vaguely remember 6 or 7. They each had a special driver and each vehicle was designed specifically for its driver. I dont remember who they fought, or protected people from. This has been driving me crazy for the past year. I can not find ANYTHING anywhere on the web about it. Not much to go on I know...
I'm trying to figure out what the very first toy is, I had one of those as well but lost it in the shuffle of becoming an adult. I miss it greatly and want to find a new one but can't figure out the brand of it! A little help please if you know? The plush bug with the light up nose and spotted wings? I had a yellow one.
I posted the picture of the plush bug... Jenny, no one has given me any responses at all and you are the first that's even mentioned it. The only clue is the tag which says "McCrory Corporation", which my father said was an old dime store basically but they shut down years ago. When he thought about it, he couldn't remember the name but he did come up with things like "jitter bug, chitter bug and glitter bug"... Unfortunately, those didn't lead to anything on google. Maybe that will jog your memory but who knows. My sister said it was from a show that I watched all of the time when I was little. She said Rainbow Brites and though they do look similar in some ways, it's definitely not it! Maybe it's some sort of spin off? Please let me know if you come up with anything!
I am trying to remember the name of these clip on headphones/speakers that were around in the late 80's, possibly early 90's. They came in different shapes and you plugged them into your boom box so you could have personalized sound. I had one shaped like a baseball. I swear the commercial played CCR's "Down on the Corner" but I can't find anything on it and it's making me crazy!
Lauren, I don't know about the toy you're referring to, but I'm pretty sure you're confusing the commercial for the Pocket Rockers commercial of the 80s, which was set to the tune of 'Down on the Corner.' "Down on the corner, out in the streets, Pocket Rockers are playing ..." Does that help?
Have been searching for the name of a toy I had, probably in the early 80's. My memory is a bit hazy on the details, but it was a black (I think) square, or possibly juke box shaped, handheld electronic toy. It had buttons near the top, that selected different games and then it had buttons set in a square, that lit up. One of the games I remember playing on it was like a concentration or memory. When you push one of the buttons a song would play. One of the songs was "We all live in a yellow submarine" then it would time you with a beeping tone until you pushed another button, I believe it buzzed you if you got it wrong, and if you got it right would do the baseball, "da da da Da da Da charge!" tune. I'm usually pretty good at researching these things, but I can't find it anywhere and my family doesn't remember it. I know I'm not crazy! lol
I have been able to find most of my fav toys from the 80's, but there is one that I cannot. I had a orange plastic briefcase that was shaped like a crayon. I really want to say is was by Crayola, but I am not 100%. It opened up into a wonderful office...it had a plastic phone, note pads, crayons, sticker rolls, a changeable calendar, and maybe a pencil sharpener. Everything had its own spot, it wasn't all thrown in there. I cannot find one anywhere, not even through Google or ebay. I am beginning to think I am the only one who had one!! :)
Trying to figure out what the name of a toy a friend of mine had growing up. It was a black triangle shaped plane (maybe 10-12" wide) with purple accents and had two smaller black triangle fighter planes that attached to it magnetically. Also when you pressed a button on the big plane it popped up and had a wheeled vehicle come out of the bottom. Haven't been able to find anything out about it.
I am trying to find a toy, I think they were called "keepers" or something like that. They were basically animals of different types, the 2 I can remember are a penguin (with a top hat!) and a snail. You could open up the side of the animal with a special key. Does anybody remember these and what they were called? Thanks.
louis, I do remember those. I had the swan one. They were called Keypers.
Fawn I remember the Chitterbug, the first photo. Unfortunately like you I have no additional information on it. I was born in 83 and remember it from as far back as my memory goes. If you happen to know what it is, let me know. Awilson8319 @ rocketmail.com
Thanks so much Madeleine, that's exactly what I was looking for. I had the penguin! :-)
I am somewhat remembering a stuffed white cat I had when I was little... It was white with pink velvet ears and pink pads on its feet. The inside of it's body was like rubber filled with air??? I dont know if they made more than just the cat. I remember a gray one too! They had big sad kitty eyes! Does anyone else remember these?? Please help!
Also searching for a stuffed bear. Could be from the early to mid 90's.. He was floppy and florescent green, pink and yellow. He had solid black eyes, his front legs were much longer than his back legs and his tail was medium length (even tho he was a bear.) This was my favorite toy as a child and I never knew his maker. Please anyone help my e-mail is hidden.kitten@live.com
I have been pulling my hair out trying to find details on a baking toy I had when I was little. It was a plastic self standing man. He was white rigid plastic with black features. He had a top hat which was a sifter (black I think), a red spoon and possibly a whisk, cookie cutters and you used his body as the mixing bowl. Does it ring any bells? phillipssj@hotmail.com
Laurie, you are thinking of the See n Say by Fisher Price. The arrow spins, lands on the animal and makes the sound "moo" etc. You can get the latest version from Amazon!
@MARISSA-- Are you possibly thinking of Puppy Surprise?
Who else remembers those monkey puppets with the arms and legs that wrapped around you and velcro together???
I posted on May 16 about a baking toy, I was having a look in the photo gallery and I saw a pic of him. The poster suggested his name was Chef Fred. I cannot seem to find him with that name. Also, If the poster reads this, where did they find the pic? I would love love love to buy him!!
Can anyone help? It was a plastic robot shaped toy with 3 or 4 red feet, you would push the foot to answer the picture question and if you were wrong it would say you're wrong try again. It was definately not the alphie robot, it was far more simple. I think it had cards like the alphie robot but I could be wrong. It was a rounded sort of robot and I'd just love to see if anyone else had him. I was in South Africa during the 80's so it is probably american made or made in Taiwan. I am desperately trying to remember who made this or what it was called any help would be great. Thanks
Yvette! I think your kitty plushy must be a Kitty Kitty Kitten! I have one too! :) They also purr when their head tilts, right?
It was a kitty kitty kitten. I had another kitten too that was just plush, I dunno who made her... Her name was Twinkie I think. She was just white with pink velvet ears and pads on her feet.
I remember having some sort of "construction" set that you could use in conjunction with different Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars. You would basically snap together sidewalk pieces that would surround different buildings. And you could connect your different sides of the street together with clear plastic strips that would mimic cross walks or street lanes. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called though. Anyone have any ideas?
Please help I remember playing as a child with a construction toy designed in military green plastic the idea was to build tanks or miltary vehicles that could then be broke down and rebuilt in a different way, I think that the panels had 4 lugs on on each corner to clip to beams of some sort. I ve asked my dad and he thinks it was bought for me around 1986/87 and that it was a foreign brand not a Uk or Usa brand.
I remember this toy I had before. It can melt metal or somekind of silver in this machine and then you pour it in a mold to make jewellry and charms. Does anybody know the name and where I can probably buy one? e-mail me at: angel_leylia@hotmail.com
Does anybody know the name of a toy that's a rock at first but when you add water and shake it it becomes a gem or a charm? and then you can make a bracelet or a necklace? e-mail me at: angel_leylia@hotmail.com
I had a big yellow pedal car, it was all plastic and had a black handle on each side that you could steer with. Does anyone know what this was? It could be from the 70s or 80s.
I have a pink bunny about 24" tall with long legs, white feet and paws. He is very special and came out at the same time as the care bears. He has a white tummy with a big pink heart in it and when you give him a hug, the heat from your body makes the heart turn white.leaving a pink message which says "I love you". My friend at school in the 80's said that there were different animals you could collect but I never saw any. I'd love to know where he came from and if there are any more of them out there.
I used to have a tiny playset of a fashion boutique. It was purple and had a revolving door as well as a display window with hangers. The set came with a TINY (like 1.5" tall) doll with articulated arms and legs, and plastic "paper doll" style clothing which you could hang on the hangers or in the display window. The doll had a black pony tail with bangs, a purple tank top, and pink pants.
I am trying to find a book/toy that I had as a child. It was Mickey Mouse and the Haunted Mansion, but on each page there was a mini record. You would then put this white reader/machine on the record and it would read the page. Can anyone help with the name of this?
it was a really creepy doll that had boots, blue leggings, and a striped long sleeve tunic on i think. it's arms and head moved randomly and would talk to you. it was like fran or jacki or sumthin, i think. what was it?
Zackie Chan, that was the Talking Jill Doll!!! Yes, I remember the commercial. I'm alot like you... yeah. At the end, though, she freaks me out with all of her robotic arm and head movements. It's on Youtube.
I have one of the fisher price car that is pictured in the unknown toys with the two kids. I have no idea of the name but know that I have the exact same thing in my basement.
In the 80's, I had had these necklaces that had a spoon, an icecream sundae and one other food; each opened up into a room that had a tiny doll with real-looking hair; they looked like Liddle Kiddles, but i've looked the LK's up, and it wasn't those; they must have been knock offs. Does anyone happen to remember them, and if so, what were they called? Thanks!
Melinda-It was a Talk-To-Me Book and Player by Fisher Price. I had a few of those too and loved them.
I NEED HELP!!! i remember playing with a learning console in the early 1990's and i remember it being white, it was aimed at preschoolers. it could be from very late 80's but i doubt it. sure it was from the early 90's. you plugged it into the tv, not sure if it came with a control. i know its not much info but if anyone could help me i would appreciate it heaps. thanks
Okay, I'm starting to think I made this one up. I KNOW it was called Dial-A-Design, and it was a Spirograph-type toy for making patterns. I can't find a record of it anywhere! Help!!
this is driving me crazy about two stuffed animals I had growing up that were lost some years ago. I had a purple bear that had long eyebrows and feet like a monkey. Also, I had a stuffed toy that was multicolored, came with a powderpuff paw, and a hairbrush for a tail. Any one know?
@claire: just found out they were called "brush-a-loves". These were awesome dolls!
I am trying to find a toy...it was a sort of space building set....they were usually built with purple and blue pipes, they had panels that looked like the wings on a tie fighter, there would be gray rings that would connect them with spikes on them to hold lil black tubes, the figures that would go in the cockpits had plastic bodies but rubber arms and legs. there was even a glow in the dark version where the domes that capped off the pipes would glow in the dark...think there might have been a cartoon about it.
simon - I think you are referring to "Legions of Power" I remember my brother having them growing up.
I remember having a doll in the 80's, she was a smaller doll with a huge dress/skirt that covered her house. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I can't find it anywhere on the net. Thanks :)
Little boxes of five or six small plastic babies, that you didn't know what you'd get. They were like lil babies, but not...
Anyone remeber a stuffed animal (maybe a dog) that had colored yarn for hair and blue feet??? I think the toy had lace around the feet.
Searching for the name of toys with round rubber heads that had interchangeable feet and hair. The one I clearly remember was light purple and had a black robbers eye mask on. They were no bigger than 5 or 6 inches. Came out in the late 80's or in the 90's. Thanks!
I've spent countless hours trying to determine the name of a specific toy I had when I was a child (mid to late 80s) to no avail, hence this post. The toy I had was similar in concept to the Rubik's Snake. Unlike the Rubik's Snake, however, this toy's components did not lock into place, but rather just loosely folded into place—sort of like origami, except these were large plastic pieces with flexible joints (possibly connected via flexible plastic). The pieces were bigger than those of the Rubik's Snake. The hard plastic was black, but unlike the Rubik's Snake, the coloring (perhaps with stickers, as with the Rubik's toys) was not two-tone; it featured a variety of colors (red, purple, blue, etc). The toy came with a full-color glossy manual, if I recall correctly, which pictured many of the various shapes you can make, including a chair, which is the only one I recall. Each individual piece, I believe, was triangular.
Jennifer-I think the toys you are searching for are called nerfuls.
I am looking for a toy I got in my Christmas stocking in 1980. I have a picture of myself holding it, but I can't see what it's called. It's a flat red plastic rectangle with a picture on it. There are word tiles inside the rectangle. The bottom of the rectangle is clear and has five small chutes for the tiles to fall into. You would shake it up, and then let the tiles fall into the clear chutes. The tiles would create a silly sentence. Does anyone remember something like this?
I had the same ones Jodi is talking about. Once doll came in a ice cream bar that opened into a beauty parlor. The handle was a comb. Anyone know what they are called?
Im read about this doll on another site but they didnt know about her either. She was a realistic baby doll, in yellow and white knitted clothes. She had a compartment in her back, and plays mini black discs that looked like records. She cries, when the player in her back is on, and by inserting her extremely long/narrow pacifier into her mouth, she is quiet. Anyone know about her?
The blue and purple bird is Screech from Masters of the Universe. He was Skeletor's bird. He shoulld have a perch and a piece that goes over his head.
Ok so this is a toughy! I posted here in May without any luck, but who knows :) I am looking for a toy made by playskool or hasbro in the 80s that consisted of a blue briefcase like plastic box. The box would open up and there were car tracks on it. Two bridges, one platic wooden and one plastic cobblestone bridge, "bridged" the gap in the track over the box hinges. The box would close up and hold all the bridges and cars and you could carry it like a suit case. Sadly this toy was sold in a garage sale in the early 90s and I have been searching for one for some time now. Any help would be appreciated!
Ryan, I replied to you in May - unless I was incorrect - with the suggestion that this toy was part of the 'Shuffletown' playset line?
Can someone help me name this toy... It was a small flower pot with petals that would open up if you watered it, inside was a very small doll (or fairy). Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I need help. 1980S toy that took a flint and would spark when the wheel in the back was turned. You could see a dull spark through a colored hole in the chest of the toy. I think they were Lavaloks, but I can find them. Any ideas?
Marissa, were the animals dogs or cats or rabbits? Because if so, you might be looking for My Little Puppy, My Little Kitty, and My Little Bunny. They were sets of animal families related to My Little Pony. Each set had a mommy with flocking on her and two rubber babies in different colors, and each kind of animal had four different sets available. Someone else had asked a similar question, and when I told her about these it turned out to be the right toy. There are some decent pictures a site called My Little Pony Collector, if you want to make sure. Hope that helps!
Chef Fred was part of an advertising campaign for Home Pride flour (and later, ready sauces). There is a web-site which you will have to Google. I think the Fred baking set was a spin-off from this.
@SZA No, I dont think that sounds like the toy. The toy I am talking about stored all the parts inside of it. I replied back in April some time I think hoping for a picture, as I have yet to find one. I think the toy might have been made by Little Tykes.
I am looking for a game I had as a kid in either late 70s or very early 80s. I've been told it was called "Bombs Away" but I always get a handheld description of the game when I look it up. This was a huge game - it consisted of a round table that turned, which had a map like drawing on it with little buckets. You looked through an eye piece that had an airplane attached and you pulled it back and forth over the buckets, then pulled the trigger and it dropped the bomb. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? I can't find that game under "Bombs Away"....
does anyone know where i can find a forum like this that i could ask a question about an 80s movie/cartoon instead of a toy???
also: this site has all of the pictures of the my lil litters.
http://www.greatponies.com/lil-litters.html
I had a toy that was a red tractor type thing that was 4-6 diffent tractors all attached together. I remember compartments being on some of them that you could open but thats about it.
I was cleaning recently and found something that I have no idea of what it is. It's a little sheriff figure about 1 inch or an inch and a half. In one hand, he has a red pen/pencil, and in the other hand he has a notepad. He has a blue shirt and white coyboy type hat. It doesn't have any toyline name on it or a year. Does anyone know what it is ?
UNKNOWN ROBOT TOY: Found an old toy of mine for the 80's and cant remember the name of it for the life of em. 1st off its a wind up robot shaped like a triceratops,instead of horns it has battering rams and the mouth hinges down so the little figure sits inside like a cockpit...and it walks..I remember there was a series of them another one which I didn't get was a giant gorilla..they where diff sizes too the 1 I have big enough to take up the size of your hand but the gorilla was much bigger.....if you have any ideas plz email me at smyers820gm@aol.com
I am trying to find out about a Christmas Bear that I had in 1984, it was brown with a red santa hat and scraf, it had a zipper in back for battery and switch access. It's nose also lit up and it played Jingle Bells and I wish you a Merry Christmas. Would love to know the name of the manufactors or where to purchase one. Thanks.

What is the ORANGE GUY SITTING W/Suction Cups??
Does anyone know what this is called? I so want to try to find another one. It was a bath toy that I had in the 80's(made between 83 and 86). Mine was a cobalt blue color. It looked like a martian or alien that had either pointy ears (1 on each side of its head) or maybe they were horns. He was in a permanent sitting position was all one piece with a tail 2 arms and 2 legs. On the bottom of his tail he had a blue suction cup and 1 suction cup at the end or each arm and foot.He was about 4-5 inches from the bottom of his bum to the top of his head. He was made of a soft squeezable rubber material. He was wearing a white hooded bath robe and came with a yellow animal or alien friend. The yellow animal friend may have squirted water and had only 1 yellow suction cup on 1 end. My cousin had one just like mine, except hers was a magenta pink color with the white bath robe. I can't remember what animal/alien friend that one came with or what color ot was. I really want to try to find one of these things, but I have no idea what they were called or what toy company made them. Anyone?? Anyone??Little Orange Guy w/Suction Cups on the hands/feet
I am trying to recall the name of a kit/toy I had that was basically an interior design set- there were different room pieces that you could move such as the hi-fi and plants. I think you could also pick the room type. Any ideas??? I am really reaching into the memory banks for this one so my details may be a bit fuzzy. Thanks!!!
Kathie, the toy you are looking for is Luv Buds. I just missed getting two MIB off ebay!!
I am looking for the name of a toy that wasn't mine, but belonged to my best friend. It's a bit difficult to describe - it was essentially an irregular flat shape made of thick cloth or thin foam, with snaps in various places. To play with it, you would attach some of the snaps to form a 3D shape, like a seahorse or a bear. (I remember it being blue, it may have come in multiple colors.) It probably came with instructions for forming the different animal shapes, but part of the gimmick was that you could come up with your own shapes. They were advertised heavily on TV, as I recall. Does anyone know what this toy was called? Thanks!
Hello all! I have a debate with my family. I am trying to find the name and picture or even buy a doll I had in the late 80's or early 90's. It was called Baby Kickey (don't know how its spelled). It was a little blonde doll about the size of a cabbage patch doll that was on a yellow board. She is able to kick her legs around in the water and floats on her board. I HAVE TO FIND IT. HELP!
Hello All! I am looking for a toy called Baby Kickey (Don't remember how it was spelled). She was a doll the size of a cabbage patch doll that was on a yellow board and kicked around in the water. Anyone know where I can pull up a picture or even buy it????? HELP!
Carolyn-those toys were called "Button-ups" I remember my friend had them and we played with them often!

i am looking for the name of a styrofoam mountain with a "road" that swirled around the outside and battery-operated cars that followed the road up the mountain and down thru a cave at the bottom----from the early 80's. Does anyone know of any still around anywhere?
Hey!! I am trying to think of a little box I had in the shape of a star with a jewel on the top...can't think what they were called!?
reg... Hey!! I am trying to think of a little box I had in the shape of a star with a jewel on the top...can't think what they were called!? ? sweet secrets
Hi. I'm actually looking for the toy I was a model for on the box! It was a plastic toy in the 80s where you hit a switch and it would laucnh the plastic beads around on a loop. I think it came with a hammer to hit the switch with.
Around 1984/85 I received some sort of line that had two armies of 1/72 figures. One army was of brown Vikings in an action shot. They had small round shields on their front arm and swords on the back hand. The other army was of tan / light brown soldiers (I called them Greeks, but since I was 6 at the time I might have been making that up) in a simple standing position. They had larger, squarish shields and they were casually holding swords in the other hands. Can anybody tell me what these were from / post a link to pics?
Hi, i have been collecting toys/books from when i was a child but their are a couple of baby dolls i'm not sure on. The first one was what i can only remember as possibly being called "BABY HUSH A BYE" this was a doll that had a soft body with what i think were vinyl or soft plastic limbs, blonde straight short hair, open close eyes, and she would cry out real loud until you cuddled/rocked her. I don't remember if she had a dummy or not, their were lots of ads on UK tv about her. The second are a set of twins, boy and girl, they had short hair, the girl had very blonde hair while the boy had a darker blonde hair, the girl had a pink cotton romper type suit on, the boy had a matching blue one and i think there was a faint white print design on the suits. Both soft bodies, vinyl/soft plastic limbs, open close eyes, and a pink/blue dummy each. They would cry when apart but when put together they would giggle, you could also put their dummys in to quieten/sooth them. The twins i don't remember seeing on tv but they were in the argos catolouge ! All dolls had to be 80s, or 1990/91. There is also one other toy i actually would like to mention, and thats a soft toy puppy with brown scruffy hair who cried/whimpered when you pressed its darker brown nose, I remember it coming from woolworths but can't remember its name either ...
I used to have a largish (bigger than handheld) green rubber "swamp thing" looking play figure - kinda looked like a green Big Foot, but without the furry body. You would fill him with red slime and give him a squeeze, and the goo would ooze out through tiny pores cut into his rubber skin. I will never forget the smell of the slime and the way it made that swamp thing stink forever. I have no idea who he was. ANY TAKERS???
Hi there, I am looking for information on a toy that was bought by my grandmother when I was about 3-5 years old. i dont know much about it except that was a doll possibly a clown, that was mail ordered and was recalled shortly after they were mailed out. What I remember was that they were making kids sick, that is what I was told or possibly remember.. It could have been that something fell off the doll causing hazards idk I was really young and I just remember vague memories. i am desperate to know any information anyone can give me. I dont have many vivid memories of my grandma when I was a child and this one I cannot get out of my mind and I need to solve the mystery of the doll!!! if anyone has any clues that could help me please email me at spunke101@yahoo.com
I'm back again !! After years of looking, i have found the twin dolls i have asked for help about. Still looking for any info on the single possible "BABY HUSH A BYE" doll that cried out loud until you rocked/soothed her,she had straight blonde short hair, open/close eyes, soft body but either vinyl or soft plastic head/limbs (i actually think she may have come from toys r us) and also the scruffy brown soft toy dog that cried/whimpered when you pressed his nose that i got from woolworths.. Both 80s i'm sure
I am looking for a toy from my childhood. It was a plug and play type game where you had the tablet on your lap and could draw on it with a stylus and it was there on the tv. Please help me I am trying to find an updated version for my kids.
OMG!!! Samantha and audrey i have been looking for the same things since ....well since i lost mine the little rabbits are called Grabbits!!! there are pictures of them in the ghost of the doll link top of page!
The 8 gray figures in the photo the last one of which is orange, they are Battle Beasts but their colors are wrong, as in they're all gray and it looks like someone primered them with paint. They might be knock-offs of Battle Beasts. The 4 weird robots the fourth of which is a black ball, I have him in a drawer. The tree creature is an Inhumanoid, Ebay says his name is Redlen, he's a transforming tree creature.
The picture of the little pink creature with purple hair that says hasbro 1985 is a Snugglebumm I believe.
Do any of you remember the game with the big plastic cat head where the tongue would pull out...object of the game I think was to keep your plastic mouse out of his mouth....can't remember the name of it!
I'm getting really frustrated trying to find info on an old 80s bath toy I had as a kid. It was a Lumberjack and his beaver pal. They came with a sponge shaped like a log that had round holes they could fit into like a boat. I recall there being other combinations of dudes and animals in the series but that's about it. Pretty sure the beaver squirted water out of his mouth.
I am looking for a building set that I had in the 80's as a kid. I thought they were called Tinker Toys but they look nothing like the ones I see online now. They came in a big set w/ a variety of different colors. They were round w/ four legs & post on the top so that you could put them together & make a big design. They were made of plastic. I played w/ these for hours & think my kids would love them. Please help....Thanks
They were had a hole in the top w/ the four posts on the top.
does any1 know where 2 find a shuffle bug, if you do know what im talking about. i have been looking for one for a very long time and its almost like they never exsisted.
@ Kurt, I know what your talking about my cousin used to have a shuffle bug, it was heaps fun to ride, but I have never seen another one, good luck finding one!!!
@ Dave, I have been searching online for the same Lumberjack bath toy. Have you had any luck finding more information?
Hey Ben and Dave you are probably thinking of Li'L Loggers made by Kenner. They are the "boy" version of Sea Wees. They use to sell them on ebay all the time just when you typed in Sea Wees. I haven't seen any in a while. Here are the sets: Jumper Joe and Rocky Raccoon Ranger Rick and Chops the Beaver Trapper Tom and Paddles Bear. Hope this helps!!
Hiya, i wonder if you can help, i remember owning a toy but i can't remember the name. It was from the later part of the 1980's. It was a space cowboy, but defo not either a galaxy ranger or bravestarr.
It had a cowboy hat that was moulded to his head, that you could not remove, he had a white face but a brown or black body and arms and legs. But the lower part of his leg below the knee, which was a high boot could be removed. If i recall so could his arms, that removed below the elbow. He had a futuristic gun and body armour not to disimilar to the type warn by the early Heman figures, that could be removed. He was about the size of a centurion...if that helps. I've looked all over the web, just for a pic, ur my last hope, any info would be great. Cheers matt
Referring to the picture I just posted: He is an orange dog(maybe?) with a yellow shirt on, blue collar. My grandma got him for me at a yard sale when I was little...no tag. I have been looking for one like him forever! If anyone has ANY idea what he might be email me at ashley.diane-12@hotmail.com Thank you!
Trying to find the name of these toys. They were cars, about 8 inches long. They came with a plastic key that you would put into the back of the car and turning the key would make the vehicle transform. I know one was a police car and when you turned the key, the doors dropped down (kinda the opposite of gull wing). Another one was a black limo or sedan and the front grill had a cannon come out when the key was turned to transform it. I could be wrong about a few things when I'm remembering them: may have been early 90s but I've searched and can't find anything like it. I don't believe they were a part of a major toy line (ie transformers) but were there own individual line. I also don't remember there being any characters or figures, just the vehicles themselves. Hope the description helps. Thanks!
My grandma got me a smaller (about 6 inches long) stuffed animal cow for my first birthday (February 1990). It was white with black patches at the eyes and on its back, had horns, and a red ribbon around the neck, the ribbon was tied into a bow on the one side. It stands upright on all fours. It sold for about 5 dollars. Mine has a lot of wear on it, and I was hoping to maybe find another one...if anyone has any idea who might have made this stuffed animal cow or where i could get another one, please email me at hartbbaby2207@comcast.net
i remember playing a game in the early 80's, (possibly called bombs away) you looked through a cross hair and the scenery span lowly round below your plane and you had to time the release of the bombs to hit the targets. does anyone remember this is its exact name, can't find it anywhere on the net. cheers
The eagle figure definitely is from Masters of the Universe. Should be the eagle form of the sorceress.
Talking to my parents earlier trying to pick an x-mas gift for my little guy, my mom mentioned a toy that my sister and I loved. We can't remember the name of it, but it had various cards that slid into the electronic top & asked you questions. The child then had to hit the correct answer and when you got it wrong it said "Look Again". As of now, when we do something wrong, my dad says look again..lol I know someone asked about this 3 years ago, but I didn't find a reply, so if anyone knows the name of this toy, it would be greatly appreciated! (and stop my from pulling my hair out!) : )
Figured it out and for those who needed to know, it's the Texas Instrument Touch and Tell. : )
Ok Guys I'm going to need your help here! I have these toys from 1993 that look like Caboodles and were made by Toy Biz Inc. They came with a doll close to the size of the current Polly Pockets out on shelves (So pretty big)that had super curly brushable hair (Yellow and Purple for example) and wore painted on leotards. I found them recently in my box full of Polly Pockets, I think they may have been called 'Caboodles' But I don't know. All I know is they are not Polly Pocket!
For the picture - Made by 'caleco, 1980's - figuers have magnets on their boots as do the toys. These are STARCOM action figures. They were made by Coleco/Mattel from 1986 through the early 90s.
What about Bigglet Bear? Does anyone remember Bigglet?
the matel bird is from a set of toys called "silverhawks" there were three birds and i think like four characters, leader was man in metalic dark blue suit (bird in pic goes to him), a light grey man whose bird was a guitar, a green girl, and a young kid in gold or copper with a orange bird ( smaller version of the pic one)
this one's driving me nuts...does anybody know the name of the handheld toy that was basically a dual wire, curved, with a spinning red wheel? the wheel spun like a gyroscope and was about 3" in diameter. as you wave the toy up and down, the wheel changes direction and spins along the wires. i think it was called "whiz__ or wham__" something. what was it???
To the girl in the picture of the grey stuffed animal with the long nose, he is from Rainbow Brite. His name is Lurky. To the person with the photo of the two small dolls with the really big hair and the very "80's" outfits, they were called Wee Wild Things.
Hey everybody...I'm on the lookout for this series of foam-based figures that I believe were released in the late-80s.
The only one that I owned/crrently remember} was a deranged dentist character. Their feature was that you could alter their size and shape when you squeezed them, then they returned to normal. I know that LJN made one of Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street films{and LJN referred to him as a "Squish 'Em"}, but am unsure if the regualr line also had that name{or if LJN even was the company who produced it}. perhaps the Freddy one was a deriative of the competing series? Any and all information from anyone would be beyond appreciated, I'd love to find out more about this elusive set! Here's a link to an X-Entertainment article that mentioned the Krueger one, perhaps it'll give you all an idea of what I'm talking about/jog some memories.

I belive Chef fred is the homepride chef, you could collect the tokens and send off for the chef toy
"I'm trying to figure out what type of doll/toy this is. It used to have a voice box in the back, and there is a patch on it's hand but I'm not sure what used to be there" (Sixth Image of the Dog) That's Tippy the Puppy! I've had one since I was probably four. You put a nine volt battery in his back and press the paw with the patch. There's a button there. You could then talk to him. Once the little red light on his chest goes out, the recording was over and you could press the button again to play it back as many times as you liked. I'm pretty sure that's his name. Mine had a little leather tag with it stamped in. (I can't seem to turn up any info online for him, but I'm pretty certain I didn't rename him.)
Sorry to double post on you like this, but I found out what the line name was for the puppy. "Tattle Talk Friends" by Well-Made Toy There was also a parrot (and that's what the parrot animal later on in the list is. The one that has the line "I say everything you say" on the box. I don't know his name but a search on eBay for "Tattle Talk Friends" brings one up. There was also a teddy bear.
Does anyone know what these are called? They were little plush bears (at least mine was a bear) with a little screen on its belly. I think it talked and its stomach, if I remember right, told you things like hungry, tired, sick...etc.. Please help! You can email me at mfw@snakebite.com. Thank you!
This, I believe, is a fairly odd one. The toy was a football like ball. Imagine a football with the ends cut off and a inverted cones in there place with a hole through the center. The ball was a soft squishy rubber. I don't believe it was ever widely sold. My mother found it at a store while on business. I played with this thing for years until one day I was working and we were tossing the ball back and forth over a roof top when one of us came up short. To this day, I believe it is probably still on that roof top. Has anyone ever seen one of these? It would have been around 1997 or 98 that I got it.
OK, there is a toy that I never owned but a friend did and I'd love to find it: it was a circus themed toy sorta like "Mousetrap" but there wasn't a board game... it was just a circus set up where you got your piece to fly around the different stations... if you got to the end your piece fell into a tub where the top would flip over showing sharks in the water. Does this ring a bell to anyone? =)
"Any clue what this stuffed animal is? Had to be from around 1984-1987 or so? Thanks" 3rd picture is Murky from Rainbow Brite.
anybody know name of toy prob 80's..blue and white with shapes\ if slanted of rectangular boxes... you could bend and fold and make objects like a ball a dog a cobra..dang whats the name of this toy its bothering me and want one
Hello everyone! i'm looking for a certain kind of toy that i can't seem to find any where on the internet. dolls that had fairy wings, and had animals (lion, swan, polar bear etc) that were hooked up to chairiots. and there was also a purple like castle (that u could open up) play set that you could get that had clouds painted on the outside. i was also wanting to know the name of these dolls.
that toy i'm talking about was 80's, early 90's. send me an email if u can help me figure this out. GCurlie@yahoo.com
thanks. =)
That short little grumpy looking gray stuffed doll with the BIG noes and red tennis shoes in the unknown pictures in known as LURKY from rainbow bright. http://www.rainbowbrite.net/characters/lurky.html
Can anyone help me plz, there was a toy and it was a kind of rubber tube and you swung it around your head and it made a noise! Does anyone know what its called???
Barb= r u thinking of a hulla-hoop?
@ Steena: I think I had one of those that you're talking about, except I didn't have the doll, I had one of the animals, the lion. Didn't their animals all have wings, too? I know the lion I have has wings and he's about as big as a My Little Pony. I don't know the name of them to save my life, though.
@ Hambone: It's called a Magnetic Gyro Wheel. I had one of those, too, or, rather, my brother did. I didn't know what it was called, either, so I googled your description of it and that's what came up. I saw a picture of it and, aside from the fact that my brother's gyro wheel had Looney Tunes characters on it and it was red and orange instead of blue, it was the same thing.
HELP! Does anyone remember an electronic toy that was yellow and the size of a piece of paper that you put in spiral flip books. You would type in the number on the card and then you had to pust the button for the correct answer on the side before it beeped/buzzed. It had red lights on the side that would light up for the answer. It was like similar to todays leap frog first computer. THANKS!
Could someone pleeasse help me identify a yellow heart shaped carry case that had a shop and lift inside with people and little cars? I played with it in the 80's and cannot figure out what it was.
I think it had a little bridge?
This might have been from the 70's but I remember playing with it in the 80's. It was A orange plastic square that had handles like that of a bike or motorcycle (red I think) on either side. The object of the game was to manuever a motorcycle or something back and forth thur a maze of obstacals, Rocks, trees, catcus, not sure really. If you hit them they would fall down. But you would hold on to the handles and drive thur the course by moving the board back and forth. So much fun I had with it. Just no one remembers this toy. Please help. Thank you
BETTI- Older post about the plush animal that cries tears... it was bugging me and I finally found it. They are Lost and Founds. The commercial is on this site http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/4398/ I had a kitty!
BETTY - Post dated Oct 15 2007. You're right, the animal wasn't really plush... I loved that toy!
ALEX - I'm looking for the same thing!! My sister used to have one, it was black and white, and you could bend the triangular pieces at different angles. It took me forever to learn how to make the ball!! I really hope someone knows what we're talking about....
In late 1989, I had a 'futuristic'/ sci-fi-themed vehicle that I cannot find any information on. The gimmick was that a 1"-2" long power-cell had to be "charged" by a light source. After charging, it could then be inserted into the vehicle, which would begin to move forward, motorized, for about a minute or so. The vehicle I had was about 6"Lx3"Wx3"H and was among the smallest in the set of about 8 or so. They were a strange pearlescent off-white color, and featured no "drivers" or cartoon tie-in support. They basically did not work well, so were quickly forgotten. In recent years, I have been curious as to what happened to the toy series, and have not been able to unearth anything about it.
"Any clue what this stuffed animal is? Had to be from around 1984-1987 or so? Thanks" I can't remember it's name but that was from Rainbow Brite. He was with the bad guy.
What is the name of the green monster toy with orange band around waist in first scene of Creepshow. Does anyone know.
I am trying to figure this one out: I had a Red vehicle that sat on a detachable gray 4-wheeled base, the red main part shot blue discs form it. There were also single and double barrel removable laser guns that you could attach to the main part or the base. Any idea?
This is a better description of my first post. 12"-24" rubbery green monsterman with a orange belt. He was filled with like a foam and his belt was hard plastic. The gimmick was that if you unscrewed the thing on the back of the belt, you could squeeze him and flaten him. If you rescrewed the back part in, he stayed squeezed. If you opened it up and left it that way, he regained his original form. They show him in the opening scene of the movie Creepshow. Does anyone know what it's called.
It was a toy from the mid-80s...two of them. They stood around 12" one was gray with retractable arms. When you pushed a button on his waist his arms crashed together. The other was black with a retractable maroon tail. He had a button on his waist when pushed, his tail would whip forward. They were both monsterish-looking and I used them to fight my voltron (though not related) Do they sound familiar?
I'm trying to find out the name of a toy from the 80's...It was a plastic house with a garage and a road all the way around it that went down a hill, the figures all had ball bearing in the base that allowed them to rock down the hill on their own, there was a granny, a cow, a sheep and maybe some others but it was a really long time ago...
Sally, I have just logged on here to ask the same question!!! if you find out can you let me know, I am really trying to find one for my little boy, he would live it if my memory serves me correctly!
Hello, my sister and I remember an 80's toy that was called "The Bead Machine" or something like that. It was about the size of a notebook, it stood upright, had clear plastic with colored plastic gears that you turned with a crank. You dropped little round beads in a hole at the top and watched them go through the gears as you turned the crank, and at the bottom a plastic bead necklace came out on a string! It was pretty awesome and we can't find anything about it online. I think the frame of the thing was blue. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Thanks for trying GK, but that's not it.
'Sally' and 'Kirsty J' - you're thinking of Matchbox Shufflies. We had a farm with a cow and a sheep etc. Probably what you had, Sally.
Well, this will probably sound really dumb, but it's worth a try. I had a favorite stuffed dog, lost it, and later saw 2 identical ones at friends' homes, so I know there are more!
It was just a stuffed animal, a solid brown dog. It's floppy ears hung down, about 2 inches, but were a darker brown. It was made of almost a ratty lambskin material. It was in a sitting position with its arms sticking straight out. From head to bottom, I would guess it was between 8 and 11 inches. I think it had visible seams on it, but that might be my imagination. Anyway, it looked sort of old and like no one would care about it. It had droopy eyebrows/lids that sort of hid its brown plastic eyes, and it had a hard plastic button nose that was not exactly sewn in the center of its muzzle (as I recall, one side of its face was slightly rounder or larger than the other side). It had a very short tail, about two inches long. It looked like it should be in the all-fours position, but if you sat it this way, its face was pressed into the ground, so it was definitely meant to sit. It didn't do anything, but I loved it. I named it Barfy because it was sort of ugly, but he was my favorite.
Thanks for trying. lol
Well, actually, I found out on my own! He was a 1986 Raffoler Wrinkles Plush Puppy.
(And just in case any of you own one that you don't want... or find one and don't plan to buy it, email me leahelise AT gmail DOT com)
I've seen the ones on eBay. There are 3 right now, all around $25. Money is tight right now, so debating whether hubby would kill me. lol So, just email if you find one closer to 10-15 or something. Thanks!)
Hey everyone...I'm trying to remember the name of a doll I had...she came with a tube of lipstick and you would put the lipstick on her and yourself...when you would put her lips to your cheek her lips would move and puckers and she made a kiss noise.
My sister had a doll that came with a brush...top part is a heart shaped brush and bottom half is a spray bottle...I remember it came with glitter so you could spray glitter in her hair.
I am looking for the name of foam shapes that you can use in the bath tub...I remember me and my sister had them when we were little and I loved them...they were all different colors.
If anyone knows the name of any of these things please email me browneyedtigerangel8705@yahoo.com Thank you.
I know I have posted these before but because of being posted awhile ago nobody may have seen them. I also like to thank those who have named other toys I was looking for.
Hey Mil, Creepshow{and anything else done by either George A. Romero and/or Stephen King} is one of my favorite films!
I thought that you might have been thinking about the green version of this guy{http://cgi.ebay.com/Monster-Black-kenner-Fisher-Stretch-Hulk-Armstrong-/280612909098?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4155d5302a}, but a YouTube search for Creepshow's first scene proves me wrong.
I used to have a bunch of the 90s-era Stretch Armstrong characters{Vac-Man/Vac-Pac, too}, and the one you're looking for seems to be from the 1970's versions of the characters{I think}.
I'm sorry that I can't be of any further help to you, but best of luck in your continued search! I'm also having a difficult time finding a similar series of figures, which can also have their shapes altered by the owners.
I originally posted here back in late November of 2010, and have yet to discover any additional info about what I'm looking for.
For those that missed it, I'm trying to find a set of 8-inch figures/dolls{think of how a Nerf ball feels, they're made from that same type of material that you could squish and grab as you held them.
As you stopped pressing down on them/let 'em go, these guys would return to their original state. I used to own the Dentist character{who wore large, purple and yellow shoes, rotted teeth, and had orange, Bozo-like hair}, and seem to recall their being others{such as an army sargeant and a football player,if I'm remembering correctly}.
I know that LJN released one of Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger, but don't know if he was/is part of this same series or not.
There is another LJN product similar to this, but taller and not squishy{http://cgi.ebay.com/Freddy-Krueger-Nightmare-Elm-Street-Figure-NOS-/360255119023?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53e0e0deaf}.
The one I'm referring to is shorter, and is known as the "Freddy Squish "Em{http://x-entertainment.com/updates/2009/10/05/kind-and-gentle-freddy-krueger-toys/}.
Again, the big mystery here{and why I haven't been able to find out more about these guys} is whether or not all of them were called "Squish 'Ems", or if they were sold under a different name/by another company.
Has anyone ever seen or heard of a card matching "memory"game called,"Twinny"? It had colorful hand-painted images that you matched together when they were spread out face-down. The backs of the cards are gold and say, "Twinny" all the way around and the pictures are really cool. I still have some of them, and one shows a bust of a man's head and shoulders, the name underneath says, "INSAM" and I googled it and found an old artist from another country. Some very bright and vivid paintings were on a website for him, but no mention of Twinny. Other cards had images like a white cat on a red background, a blue background w/ a gold phone, a boy kicking a ball, a unicorn's head w/ a gold background and some other beautiful images for a total of about 20 cards all together. I think that it came from a "head shop" where my mother worked in the 80's. The pictures are so amazing and I still have about 9 of them but I would love to have them all or at least see something about Twinny somewhere! Thanks!
Does anyone else remember Huggie Bears? I remember the jingle from the advert but can't seem to find anything online about them. As far as I remember there were at least 2 variants. A brown bear and a panda (which is what I have) that clung to things by means of gripping their backs and making their arms and legs part (sounds rude, doesn't it?!) and they gripped things like table edges, arms, anything really. Does anyone else recall these things?
Hello, anyone remember these? They were some kind of pen... got em from local drugstore "National drug"in RI, they were like dinosaurs/dragon made of rubber and the tip/ball of the pen would be its beak. I remember there was a purple one and a green one... thats all I remember it was about 1986-1990... Thanks
Does anyone remember the name of the toys that were little stuffed animals that went inside a coordinating plastic house? There was a rabbit you stuffed into a log and a bear you stuffed into a honey pot. They weren't fuzzy; more like a nylon. I believe the bunny was white with magenta ears. Also, I'm trying to find the name of a series of small animals that came in families: raccoons, bears, etc wearing clothes with a Mommy, Daddy and kids. Thank you!
There's a toy I am looking for but can't remember what it's called. Either it was in the 70's or 80's but I don't remember which but here it goes. I believe it was called fat track or something similar. It was a kind of wide toy that sort of looked like the car that the banana splits tv characters was in. It had I believe 3 big wheels on the left and 3 on the right. On the top of this thing towards the back there was a keypad where you could enter numbers from it and then by entering those numbers you could control it's movement. If you pressed a certain button, it would make the sound of a lazer being fired or a light on the front would flash. Please help me anyone with the name of this toy.
In regards to Tim Foster's post about the mystery "fat track". I believe you're talking about a BIG TRAK. (http://www.thebigtrak.com/) I was lucky enough to have gotten one for Christmas...they're very hard to come by now.
I had this toy sometime in the 80s or possibly early 90's i cant rembember what it was called, can anyone help. It was some game where you had a battle arena and these little metal spinning tops that you would fire out into the arena, i guess its similar to beyblades but i remember they used to spin so fast they made a satisfying sreaming sort of sound
Hi there. I'm looking for the name of an action figure series from the late 80's. I think I owned 2 of them. They had hard black plastic torso's. The upper half of the arms and the upper half of the legs were made of the same black plastic. The lower half of the arms and legs were made from a rubbery plastic. Each figure had a unique helmet that spanned from shoulder to shoulder. You could also detach and interchange the rubbery halves of the arms and legs. The were about He-man sized and the heads were also rubbery.
I am hoping that someone might be familiar with the name of a barbie-like/size doll from the early 80's that you could design your own clothes for by using the grooves/slits that ran down her arms and legs to poke fabic in using a tool that she came with. I know it sounds weird, but I had one. If you liked "Fashion Plates" or "Flip and Fold Fashions" then you would have LOVED her.
hello everyone!I have been looking for a bear i had as a little girl.. i cant remember much.. just she was purple and she had lipgloss on her head?... does anyone? lol anyone :)
Kim, was the interior design kit - Coloforms?
I am looking for some blocks from the 80's that were about 3 inches square with two connectors on the top like legos. They were not legos or duolos. They came in a red or dark orange cardboard box originally, they were plastic but soft, almost like they had some kind of felt on the outside and came in yellow, orange, green and blue, possibly came in pink to in the set, I don't really remember. If anyone knows the name of these or where to get them I would greatly appreciate any information. Thanks! jacadams99@sbcglobal.net

Hello, I hope someone can help me. I'm not sure if I asked on here before, so if I did I apologize. In the 80s I used to buy these little tiny dolls with long string (yarn-type) hair and they came inside a spoon which was covered in clear plastic, so it sort of looked like an egg before you opened it. It's possible they were just generic little toys you could get at the grocery store, but I'm not sure. I'd love to find out their name at least, if they had one. Thanks!
Hi does anyone remember this toy from 80s possibly early 90s: It was like a butterfly/moth plush toy (not plastic like globugs was more of a cuddly toy and much bigger) she had glow in the dark stripes on her wings, which you could wrap around her body and close. She had long purple hair in a bow and she hung on a hanger? I've tried looking everywhere but only seem to find the plastic glo bugs/butterflies. Please submit any info if poss. Cheers.
Does anyone remember a toy which was similar to half a rubber tennis ball? You pushed it inside out and waited for it to pop up off the ground! Can't find them anywhere! Thanks
FOR RAY:.....Hi, mate i know the exact toy you mean and i have been looking for the very same item for a few years, but never seen one on ebay or any toy guide website. See my question on Nov 2nd 10 where i provide a description of the same toy. I'm more than willing to combine forces to find this toy as its seriously annoying. matt
KATE, the half tennis ball your talking about was called a Pop Ball. I had plenty of them as a child. They were cool!!
Does anyone know the name of these toys: They were about 2 inches tall, cloth bean bag bodies, and had animal heads on them. For instance, I had a yellow bodied one that had an elephant head and I also had a mouse one. They were in little rectangular shaped boxes that opened like match boxes.
Here's another unknown toy I need identified..it was a large pink heart shaped play house that came with two small dolls..a boy and a girl. They were just plain little dolls. The boy was in blue and the girl was in pink. They resemble Precious Moments dolls. I purchased mine from Sears in the early 80s.
I can't remember the name of this toy! It was a stuffed animal that when you took it in the bath tub with you it changed colors! I must find one!
Hi everyone. I just came across this awesome site filled with scanned pages of complete catalogues! It's called wishbookweb.com. Check it out, you may find some pics of toys you're looking for. I think someone was looking for a Bead Machine, and I saw one in the 83 Sears Wishbook.
Sara, are you talking about Sylvanian Families? "This is the only image i can find of these dolls. I know they are from about 1989 or even 1990-91. Hope someone can help me." Doll in the back is Starla, a doll that sings.
courtney- I had a stuffed seal, it was blue, but when you took it in the hot bath it turned pink! still have mine, and it still works (sortof). :) Have no idea what they were called or where I got mine, but they do exist!
sara - those toys were called "smooshies" and you could stuff them into their house. I had a horse and a rabbit. so fun!
Sara- the little bear and raccoon families were either Maple Town, or Sylvanian families. You can find them on EBAY, also the smooshies too.
Hey does anyone remember the stuffed animal bears (not care bears or popples but similar in size) that had a clear plastic dome nose filled with plastic butterflies, when you squeezed their tummy air blew into the nose and the butterflies fluttered around inside? It also had a sparkly tummy and the song on the commercial went "yummy yummy yummy Ive got sparkles on my tummy..." They smelled like cupcakes and candy. late 80s or early 90s I think...
I am trying to find those little tiny ponies that had a shape on their feet that opened the house they came with, like a key. I had a beauty shop and an icecream shop. They were hard plasic, some had brushable hair, they had a little logo on their butts like mylittlepony did, but they were a tenth of the size. TINY. My sister and I called them key ponies. Anyone remember? I would say we had them in the early 90s.
@ mamamia, the bears you are referring to are called Nosybears. There are pictures of them on this website.
Hello everyone...PLease people can someone help me, I looking for the name of 2 toys, Toy No.1 was a little hard plastic Bike(Scrambler) only the back wheel was made of steel and had some what a hard plastic stick sort of with teeth, you would insert it into the back wheel all the way down to the end and then pull as hard as possible and let go of the bike. Toy No.2 had the same concept only it was a robot and the steel wheel was in the stomach of the robot and it would spin on it's feet, head or arms. It was from the early to late eighties. Please I would appreciate it if you could help....Regards Shane.
Spottedfeather, thank you very much; your info was spot-on. Its unfortunate that (A.) I was convinced that those were some kind of amazing magic toys in the 80's and (B.) they are almost impossible to find. You, my friend, saved the day nonetheless.
I am trying to find the name of a toy I had from the 80's. It is a marble maze type thing, except there are a several different sections of the maze. The first (i think) was making the marble "jump" onto the next section. I forget the order, but there is a teeter-totter type thing with 3 segments of the teeter-totter, there is also a sloped section where you have to get the marble to roll down the ramp to the left, then down the ramp to the right until it gets all of the way down to the next section. Any of this sounding familiar, I think that tv show "wipe out" has a version of this that their contestants had to run around on. Any way, I would love to know the name of it.
for the lady who is wondering what pieces of toy are that combine to make a spaceship (Photo gallery). These are from the legions of power 80's toys. If you google legions of power you can find out more about them.
rht, are you thinking of Discovery Toys' Marbleworks

and/or Marble Bowl?http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23639/marble-bowl
I hope that this helps...
Pleas help! I had a toy when I was a kid and cant figure out what it was. It had a plush body but hard in the middle because it opened up in the back for batteries. It had a hard plastic head that lit up kinda like a glow worm. It also had hair that ws make out of the same plastic but was different colors there was blue in it for sure. and it was pink. I think it was around the 80's does anyone know what this toy was called so I can try to find one or at least a pic of one?
Hi, I'm looking for the name of module space toys. The good guy pieces were blue, the bad guys were red. The module pieces were grey. Little articulated plastic figures could sit in the various cockpits. I recall "tech" being associated with them in some way. Any help? Or more details needed?
Wow, never mind.... Gordon's comment listed 3above mine was correct! Whoa, thanks for this successful trip down memory lane!
the toys that were long pieces that were connected together were called Construx i think. look up construx on wikipedia and i think you'll find what you're looking for
Hi there! I'm new here... I just came across this site when I was looking for some toys I had when I was a kid back in the very late 80s/ early 90s... I've looked everywhere but I haven't been able to get anything so far... If only I remembered the name of the toys... Maybe any of you can help me out and tell me the name of the toys/ figures Im talking about. They were like hard plastic domes... Inside the dome there was a figure, well just a head/bust actually... On the botton there was a button and when you pushed it, some liquid came out of the head (there were some colors: red, yellow, green, etc) I remember the characters were similar to the Garbage Pail Kids, I mean, it was not GPK but they were gross, one of them was throwing up, other had a swollen eye, other was spitting, another would shoot the liquid out of his nose. Each one of them would shoot the color water out a different part of their face: eye, mouth, ear, etc... I remember the name of one of the characters was "Igor". Does anyone know what series of toys I'm talking about? Please help!
I had a big stuffed white cat when I was a little girl that talked when you pushed different parts. For example, if you pressed the top of its head it purred, if you squeezed its ear (or maybe its tail) it said "Ouch that hurts", if you squeezed its chest it said something like "I'm a good boy, I'm your huggy". Does anyone know what I'm talking about? (interrupted519@aol.com)
Hello, I need someone with a good memory! I had these Nerf like odd looking characters who were monsters. I specifically remember a mad scientist with glasses. You could squeeze them and they would returm to their shape. Softer than Nerf but had nicely painted skins. I believe it was a series of many different figures. Thanks for any help you can give!
I need help remembering the name of a toy I had as a child... It was a little plastic present box with a bow and the top flipped open to show a little kitty inside. I thought it was a Sweet Secret but its not....its driving me crazy that I can't find this toy or remember the name. Thanks for the help!

Maria, I am beyond glad to have come across another person who's also looking for more info on the same characters that I am! I've posted here on two separate occasions regarding them{ Nov. 27th, 2010 and Jan.10th, 2011}, and have so far come up empty-handed{both here and elsewhere online}. I seem to recall a "mad dentist" character, with yellow/purple shoes and red hair, and I know that LJN made a Freddy Krueger version{Google search "freddy krueger squish 'em" to see what I mean}. We both know that these guys were part of a series, but under what name/company is the mystery.
Hi, does anyone remember a learning toy from the early 80s, similar shape to a Speak & Spell but you inserted picture cards with letters on them into the side of it? If you know can you please tweet me @blackcurrantpix ? Thanks.
hello, im also looking for an 80's educational toy. it was blue and round. it had a kind of scanner that you ran across barcodes that were in books that came with it.
Hello, the photo of the two male action figures (blue and green, sci-fi, with extruded 'dimples'for accessories) are "Centurions" - http://www.virtualtoychest.com/c/centurions/centurions.html
katelynn, it sounds like you're looking for Petite Ponies. They were a My Little Pony toy. I had tons of them, and also a cottage and a market playset. You can easily find them on MLP websites.
Does anyone know the name of this math toy? It was like a small red computer with a carrying handle; on the screen it had a racing track and on either side of the screen there was a track runner, a male on one side and a female on the other. To play it, you had to answer the math problems it asked you correctly to make your runner advance. If you got enough problems right and did it quickly enough, you'd win the race. I loved that toy and took it everywhere with me, but my mom thinks she might have gotten rid of it. I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows what it was called and possibly who made it.
Hey All - I'm looking for the name of a toy or whether it really existed. A friend of mine described a male version of Sylvanian Families. He had pigs that were felted like Sylvanian Families, but were battle themed. He thought they were named something like Battle Pig or War Hog. Anyone know anything about these toys?

Please help, I've been trying so hard for years to remeber a most beloved toy I had in the 80s. It was a small pink plastic ring with a trellis type arch on the top, inside the arch was a swing with a little girl on. It was sort of a polly pocket type thing but can't remember it actually being called polly pocket I think it was something else, does any other girl of the 80s remember it?
I am looking for some blocks from the 80's that were about 3 inches square with two connectors on the top like legos. They were not legos or duolos. They came in a red or dark orange cardboard box originally, they were plastic but were like a tupperware material and came in yellow, orange, green and blue, possibly came in pink to in the set, I don't really remember. If anyone knows the name of these or where to get them I would greatly appreciate any information. Thanks!
Does anyone remember the name of a toy that was a large clear ball with numbered cups inside? You had to move the ball in order to move a smaller ball inside from cup to cup in numerical order. The first three were easy, but the move from #3 to #4 was very difficult. I don't think I ever got beyond that.
Trying to find the name of a toy, the best way to describe it is - 2players have 2 handles each n the end of some rope and they pull the handles apart to move a ball down the rope to the other player and so on... please help someone, realy want to buy one thankyou
AMAND M - Isn't that a Speak and Spell?
Janelle - They are called Dolly Surprise! I had two ages ago.
I have an unidentified WereBear. He is teal with purple seat, orange muzzle and teeth like Howler.
There is this toy me and my sister had that I can not think of the name at all, I will try to explain the best I can...it was a white hard plastic squarish shape and was pretty flat but sunk in just a little. The part that was sunk in had a background made out of a shiny material and had a picture of a room. Came with a small plush doll that I think they each came with a pet and you were able to stick them to the board because the plush had a piece of Velcro on their backs. These toys came in all different backgrounds. Anyone know what im talki about?

Hi, Looking for the name of a late 70's early 80's car and truck combo toy. You could convert the race car into a truck by putting the truck cover on it. It was a larger toy with a pullstring i believe, as i remember as a kid breaking the ring off the string the first day and rest of the string disappeared into the car/truck. But for the hour it did work, it was the coolest toy ever ;)
Hi: I am looking for a toy that was a quiz/identification toy. I do not know the name of it, but we used it for my disabled sister. It is rectangular, white and yellow, very heavy on one side. It had pages and cartridges that could be changed, but not very many to my knowledge. If any one knows the name of this I would really appreciate it!
This was a doll I remember getting as a present during early eighties, a fashion model so to speak, kind of like what the Harumika toys are now. Was taller than a Barbie, blonde and was not poseable. She had groves on the sides of her body so you could push the fabric pieces in to "fit" the clothes. I remember the box she came in was quite large, had a stand, a stick (to push in the fabric) scissors, a bunch of fabric and 3 pairs of shoes. Does anyone remember her name? I'd like to get a hold of that doll again, thank you.
I had a toy plane that flew inside. It had a tower in the middle with two strings that you pulled to fly the plane. It also had a big cardboard circular track to land on. I sure they stopped making it because too many kids got hit by it and hurt. Anyone remember it?
I remember when i was a kid I had a castle that I can;t remember the name of. It had magnetic parts and you had to assemble it first. Once put together it made perfume (i think). It had a clear crystal star wand with a magnet on the end which u used with the castle to make the potions. I know u had to buy refill packets for it as well. If anyone has any ideas please let me know! I would really like to find out what it was called.
does anyone know about a 80,s matchbox soft toy lilac rabbit with a hankercheif and a rattle attached to each hand a fluffy pompom tail on the back which you pull to reveal a sore bottom.
I had a toy in the 1980's which was basically an assault course for ball bearings all contained in a clear plastic box. I think you had to negotiate about 5 ball bearing around the course which had a bridge and a jump for sure, along with other tricky obstacles which I've since forgotten. Does anyone know the name of this toy? Thanks!
80 - 90"s Red toy(scooter type) that you sat on and steered with your feet. Feet rested on handlebars. What is it called?
Hello everyone. I had this toy around '88 or '89 that you used imitation Play-Doh to make ice cream sundaes, banana splits, etc. I'm fairly certain that it has shop (ice cream shop, sundae shop, etc.) in its name but I can't find it on here, YouTube, etc. Does anyone know what this called? I'd love to find an old one for my niece. Thanks
I had a baby doll I left at a restaurant on a road trip circa 1988. The doll had not too hard plastic skin, black hair, yellow pajamas, and a velcro cut out on the back of the pajamas that could reveal the baby's bottom. My mom things the doll had beans in it, but I do not remember if it did or not. When I type "baby beans" in google images, I do not see the same doll that I had. My family makes fun of me for obsessing over the doll all these years, but it was my favorite toy at the time. Does anyone know the name of the doll, maker, have any pictures or know where I could get one? You may email me at Voyageorge@gmail.com
80's lilac rabbit stuffed toy with a secret sore bottom
HI SUSAN! :) It's called ROLLER RACER!
HI LAURA! :) OMG! I felt like Steve Erkel saying that,LOL! It was a CHARMKINS. More specifically I think she was called LIL' TULIP.
Rosebee - OMG seriously I am SOOOO genuinly greatful, you don't even know how many years I have been researching this item! you personally have made a great childhood memory come to life again! I have found one on ebay too! I'm from the uk and thinking back they must have been available here cos I remember being so desperate for one and my friends mum got me one for my 6th birthday (nearly fainted lol), I don't remember the packaging from the one on ebay so maybe the uk versions were different but the product is the same. I can not thank you enough, really you have no idea! how did you know? you're like a toy genius lol, kind regards Laura.
Does anyone remember a doll in the late 80's that was see through and may have been blue or had blue hair? She also had blue crystals for eyes. It wasn't a spectra doll, but it looked like an alien.

This is a long shot, but does anyone remember having a square toy box with brass hinges. The pictures on the toy chest varied, but I remember there being a Ninja Turtles one, and a unicorn one. I have been trying really hard to find one of these toy boxes.
carolyn, it's NOT a button-up. i'm trying to find the name of that foam thing too. i had one & loved it. crank at got dot net if anyone can help. :)
carolyn - snapazoo! hah!
The dolls that you clicked clothing on were called Dolly Pops.. they also had a "fashion stage" they could click in and a crank you turned to show them around the stage. Golden Girls and the Guardians of the Gemstones were the predecessor to she-ra.. they looked similar to the He-man and Sh-Ra line. I still have Shadow.. the black horse. Thank you soooo much! I have been looking for that toy's name for years! The "compact" toys might be Sweet Secrets... they flipped open and you flipped out their head, hands, feet and clicked it closed, They had a jewel/ jem on the front of them, and could be worn like jewelry. The dolls like Barbie might be Jem? Jem and the Holigrams... and their ememies The Misfits. Though they were a little bigger than Barbie. The rub on transfers i remember... the company logo i remember was Panini or something similar to that. It was a knight on a horse with a lance with the name under it. It was a 2 page scene and you could rub on the transfers to create a scene. I loved those! But they were not colorforms. Susan... the flat scooter you wiggled back and forth were called Roller Racers.... there's a newer one out now called EZ Rollers... but it's based or wiggling the front back and forth to move. The small music players were called Pocket Rockers... i remember the 80's commercial cuz they used a popular song and switched the lyrices... "down on the corner/ out in the street/ pocket rockers are playing/ hear the music/ feel the beat."
The metal like tops that spun in the arena i think were called Sizzlers.................... This has been an awesome trip from memory lane.....
My bad... i think they were call Zippers... The one picture in the photo gallery with a girl holding a stuff toy with fur and rend sneakers i think was from the Rainbow Brite series... it was one of the bad guys...Murky or Lurky... this one is Lurky... Murky was the guy with the dark mustache and wore a helmet.
I had these action figures when I was a kid. They were about 2 inches tall maybe. Each one came with a military medal looking thing that the figures fit inside of. I think the medal could clip to your shirt pocket. I've been driving myself crazy trying to remember what they were called. Can anyone help???
My brother had a race track when we were kids late 70's early 80's. It had two tracks. In order to get the little cars onto the track, you had to crank a little plastic crank that drove a rubber conveyor belt that the cars would climb. One car was red, one was blue. I believe they may have had "STP" on them. Does anyone know the name?
Laurie: Thanks, but no, it wasn't a Speak and Spell. I had one of those, too, but the toy I am talking about was not a spelling or vocabulary toy; it was a math toy themed around track runners.
Im trying to find the name or spelling of a name of what seems like not as popular as I liked toy from the 80's. They were brown bear looking things and the eyes flashed and it made like a beeping noise. It was called Beepules or something like that. Does anyone know what Im talking about?
Stacy M - what your referring to could be a Chubbles bear, which is on this website.
I have been trying to find out about this teddy bear for the last 10 yrs. So I'd appreciate your help. On the tag it says: ANIMALS-LOS
Below that is: 1983 ANIMALS IMPORT INC. I don't know if that is a company or what. It is a purple bear of average size. It has pink paws & inside of the ears. Brown nose & eyes. On the front of the bear are three triangles that make a small fan. They are blue, yellow, & pink. And underneath that is the word "Bear" in simple cursive. It has two finger-width of fuschia hair. If it happens to be just a basic bear, that's fine with me. But I'm DYING to know. Thank you for your help.

Looking for a doll or the name, I got him for Christmas in 84 or 85. My mom bought it from Kmart. He was a white doll with freckles, he had a plastic face and hands with white overalls and a white hat. He looked sorta like the Biffy Beans doll by Mattel except he was bigger.
Any clue what this stuffed animal is? Had to be from around 1984-1987 or so? Thanks
---This is Lurky from Rainbow Brite- they often have this doll for sale on Ebay fyi.
Has anyone been able to identify the pig in the orange polka dot shirt in the picture gallery. I also received one in 1980 from my grandpa who recently passed and have been looking everywhere for one, but I don't remember what they were. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been trying to figure out the name of a doll from the late 80's. She came with a magic wand that was magnetic. This doll's wand was used to flip over a table to either being set for dinner, or just with a vase with flowers.

I've been looking for a necklace i had when i was 3 years old. It was for kids. Plastic cage the door opened and inside was a small owl. The owl was able to be taken out of the cage. I wanted it for my niece because like i was she's afraid of the dark my grandma used to tell me owls could see in the dark and my owl would protect me and that owls heads can move all the way around so it could see all around me. This is important to me if anyone can please help.
Erin I believe the toy you're talking about is a Puffalump. I typed that with the word "mouse" and got an image of "FP" on a foot of a mouse.
The 1972 Mattel eagle/hawk-like toy in 'unidentified toy pics' is from He-Man.
To the person that described the hairy puppet with the tongue sticking out, that sounds a bit like one of the My Monster Pets ( smaller puppet versions of My Pet Monster ) they were pretty hairy, had long tongues and came in several different colors
This one may be for the ladies (or not?). I am a child of the 80s (well 1978 to be exact, but my early toy/book memories are from the early 80s) right so I had a book it was my fav ever ever and when my mum was clearing away like mums do when your about 18! and she tossed it out :o( it was a beauty and the beast fairy tale pop up book (not disney obviously) it had the most lovely pictures in it and was a carousel type of affair that opened up into a circle and tied together with a string. The cover had green on it and the pictures were all fairy tale type with lovely detail and flowers etc, it was only a smallish book. Can anyone tell me (if they have one lurking on a book shelf) the publishers name or the author illustrater or better still where I can get it? thank you Laura xx
Looking for a paper doll book. I believe it is from the late 80s but could have been the early 90s. I am almost 100% certain it was published by Golden. There were 4 women and a ton of stylish clothes. They seemed to me at the time like models from the big city. If anyone can help me find this I would be so grateful!
I had one of those MLP charms hanging on a brass chain. :) It's one of those "free with the toy" things. Mine is a white pony with blue hair and flowers on her hip.
I had a toy when I was young (80's) that stuck to the side of the bath. It had a little man with it and you attached him to a diving board and he dived into the bath when you filled the toy with water. There was also a little boat for him to sit in and a slide for him to go down. Any idea what it was called? It was yellow?
When I was around kindergarten age or a little younger at the beginning of the 80's, my mother got me a set of educational cards in a yellow box with an owl on it. the cards were color coded according to subject and had a yellow metal-tipped pen that would buzz if it touched the black dot that had the correct answer on the card. I played with that thing for hours every day, and now I can't remember the name! It might be Scrivner or Scribbler, but if anyone else remembers these teaching card sets and their name, please let me know.
My aunt had this cool "band", they were plastic figures with rubber hair that were either motion or sound activated and would dance and head bang. They were only a few inches tall. Would have been mid to late 80's. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
i was wondering if anyone knew the name or where to get a toy i had in the 80's? it was a pencil that opened up and inside was a school. the people were flat with legs that would bend, but had hair......
My toy definitely pre-dates the '50z, maybe the '40z. It usually takes animal form, is segmented in fairly uniform increments, and strung together by some unusually strong,cord of relatively small diameter. I imagine the cord is threaded through several points of entry to allow some independence of motion for the toy. These cords were then probably inserted into the wooden base upon which the figure will eventually rest. The toy through the utility of the cord, maybe like muscle sinews, is somehow attached to a spring of unknown proportion or configuration. This spring was, in my experience, housed in the inner core of a two-piece, wooden casing that formed the aforementioned base. A two-piece base is necessary to allow the inner core to move, when pressure is applied to the bottom of the base. If force comes to bear squarely on center and the core pushed to the furthest, unforced point, I believe I recall that (let's say it is a giraffe) the giraffe's collapse with his or her legs crumpled up under her. His head, and torso limp on top of the casing. Push up on the bottom right side, and, depending how far you pushed,the giraffe might kneel to the right. Push on the far forward end, and that push might get a nod. The last one of these now rare to me "puppets" I had was a gift; that was in, around 1993. So many people wanted that critter! and most often, I would have given it up, with little convincing needed, but I "have" a few toys to which I am sentimentally because they were a joy to my father, and the shared experience brought us close in an uncomplicated, happy way. He/I love spinning tops, gyroscopes (Get this: I can hardly believe that my online dictionary could not recognize the word, "gyroscope" =>red squiggly lines),we spent a lot of time fascinated by the beautiful geometry of kaleidoscopes. Magnets! Like polarities would push my hands in opposing directions, the opposite for opposites. I enjoyed feeling the action of an invisible something that seemed not to exist apart from the introduction and proximity of of a couple of magnets. Then there was the slinky, finger puppets, also fuzzy strips of cloth that arched backward to follow my hand's stroke; I still see replicas of them around. Oh, yeah, the wooden cups with a wooden ball attached by a string; it was a simple game: Find just the right force and arc to use, so that the ball plops securely into the cup. One more! The so called "Chinese Handcuffs": Push one finger,usually the index, of each hand into each end of a woven, straw, mesh-work tube, approximately 6 inches long, I think. Young neophytes may struggle long for release with little success. The toy was sometimes damaged in the process. The tube is pretty hardy; and the weave pattern lends it a lot of stretchy flexibility. However, frustration can run pretty high; it would have to be so to totally destroy the thing. Speaks volumes as to the character of the "Initiate" holding the secret key to freedom. I'll choke off that tangent. I REALLY, REALLY want "my" giraffe. However, I am not by any stretch of the...wealthy. I am counting on a high degree of convergence of circumstance and grace to bring it me the toy. My children are rooting for me too. In Hope and In Faith-Here I go-To Launch a search that has the greatest chances of success than any prior endeavor....TY for all who read this ponderous history.Please hold a good thought.Glad I found this site, and so many interesting people with captivating stories, interests, queries...
I too am looking for a doll that had a kaleidoscope and an owl. She was probably the same size as Rainbow Brite (the big one) but not her and not Moondreamers! Thanks!!
I am look for this toy it was in a small box type thing with multiple pieces and you could match different outfits up and use this device to rub them onto paper...
I'm looking for info on a teddy bear named Peek-a-boo bear and it is NOT the bear currently being sold by Gund. My mom said I got her around 1987. She had sensors in her hand and stomach and a pink battery pack in the zipper pouch in her back. When you pushed the sensors she said "Peek-a-boo I love you" and possibly other phrases. She has a pink lacey bib that says Peek-a-boo Bear. Her tag says Terra Nova Toys and I cannot find ANY info about this bear or company at all online. Please help!

Hi does anyone know where I can find an 80's spider-man toy, it had a metal skeleton wire frame inside it so you could bend it. It was made of rubber and it was only cheap from stalls around the beaches of rhyl. You could also buy batman and superman I think all in the same pose..a sort of 'I give up officer' pose lol. I've been searching everywhere for it, anyone know?
Just too add to my comment above the toy was soft rubber and bendy
Can anyone help me find this 'toy' from the 80's??? It was gold metal and it nay have had coloured beads on. It was kind of like a cat's cradle- you could wear it like a bracelet, then you could sort of fold it out into a sort of flower shape, then you could reshape it into a sort of ball. I can't explain it very well but hopefully, someone will know what I'm talking about! :)
I am looking for the name of the building toy that Dan was looking for back in 2007. Can anyone help? This is Dan's description: I used to have a plastic toy snap-construction set in the early 1980's with several parts, but the most distinctive part of the set was a piece rather like a dodecahedron or icosahedron. There were also white notched beams, small black connectors, wheels, and blue panels. The notched beams and black connectors would snap into the dodecahedron-shaped pieces. Does anyone know what this is?
They're Construx! Yay!
I'm looking for an arts and crafts set that I had when I was young. It came with 4 colored pens, had a plastic clamp thing to hold down the paper and shapes with teeth on the edges of them. You'd put the pen in the holes on the shapes and make the shape go along the edges of the clamp that also had teeth on it. Not sure that I'm explaining it very well. I remember making lots of pictures that resembled flowers. Any clue? I thought it was spin something, but can't remember for the life of me.
Hi Bernadette, I think you may be referring to Spirograph but I'm not too sure. Check out this website: http://www.imisstheoldschool.com/?cat=1386 Hope this helps :)

I am trying to figure out an old 80s spaceship toy that was orangeish and black and fairly large with removable fighters.
I am trying to find a gadget that I had which was basically a white plastic hand, about the size of a real hand, that sat on wheels. When you put something on the hand, like a glass, the hand would start rolling forward. The really cool thing was that if the hand rolled to the end of a table, it would stop before toppling over the end of the table. Does anyone know what this was called or how I can find one?
Hi All, Looking for a toy that I had back in the early 80s. It was a plastic pretend paint set. There were three double-sided pictures and I remember one being a flower and one being a car. They started out looking faded and when you "painted" them with water, they'd become vibrant. The borders around the pictures were red, yellow, or blue plastic. The holder was white and on the left side were three "paint pots," which were also red, yellow, and blue. You'd pour water into them. There was a brush and it had a holder on the right. I think the brush was orange, but I don't remember. I've been looking everywhere and I know my description sounds a little wiggy, but I can't think of how else to describe it without actually drawing out a picture (which I may do anyway). This was my favorite toy and it's gone missing, so if anyone has any info as to the manufacturer or the name of it, please reply. Thanks!
Ray - Are you thinking of Alphie? He was like a robot that you put cards in for different learning games. There was a Little Professor but he was a calculator so I dont think that's what you're thinking of.
Danielle, looks like you're thinking of Fashion Plates. I loved those when I was little.
radsarah - was it WonderWhims? http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_WonderWhims.htm
Hey Everyone: I'm not sure if this was posted before but I am looking for a 1980ish pink sneaker ride on toy. I know there was also one made in blue. I would love to get my hands on one. Any suggestions?

There are a couple of old animated TV movies from the 80s that I wish to find, but I only remember them vaguely as my VHS tape of them was lost in my parent's divorce... I desperately want to find the names for these at least, if not somehow find a copy somewhere for my two kids. 1. A movie which had the opening song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," with characters that had flower-like? hats and rode on bug friends (possibly a caterpillar or snail) and they didn't get along with one of their former friends. There was a young one, and these characters were tiny and lived in plant homes including sliding down leaves and such. *Does not appear to be one of the two Rose-Petal movies.* 2. A movie about a bear father and his son in the bayou. The dad drove a fan boat, the son got into mischief but was a good kid, and the main antagonists are a pair of mother and son(?) gators.
In the 1980's I had a toy which I am trying to find. It was a small plastic doll (I don't think it had moveable parts) about 4cm long, whith hard plastic 2D dresses (like they were stamped out of a thich sheet of plastic) that you could snap on and off the doll. The plastic had coloured paper stickers on the front with the dress on it. It came with a small toy washing machine that you could put soap and water in and 'wash' the dresses. It may have been called Polly Poppet or Popit (not Polly Pocket) but as I can't find anything under these names I am not sure now. PLEASE if you know of this at all let me know. It was in Australia.
OK Please help!!! I have these dolls from when I was a kid. They are probably fro either the late 80's early 90's. They had metal like bodies. One was silver with blue rhinestone eyes and blue hair. The other was gold metal body with orange rhinestone eyes and orange hair. They both had two outfits a piece and the outfits were very space age like. Their bodies almost looked like C3P0 in Star Wars
I am currently driving myself bonkers trying to find any information at all on some toys I had when I was very young, quite sure they were from the 80's. They were different types of men, action figures of sorts, I remember for sure that one was a sailor, and they completely folded into squares and could be used as blocks. I highly doubt that these were transformers brand, they seemed to be geared towards toddler age boys. I tried ebay, youtube, etc and NOTHING!!!! They folded completely square and this is the only shape that they all folded into. Any info would be appreciated!!
Hi, everyone! I'm trying to remember the name of a toy. It was a spaceship made out of white plastic. Red details, if I remember right. The distinctive feature, at least the one I remember best, was that the wings were detachable and doubled as pistol shaped dart guns. The dart tips were big, red, rubber balls-like clown noses. I don't think it was a big line, I remember getting it at CVS in the 80s. Any help would be appreciated. This has been driving me crazy. An email to addshaugh2@yahoo.com
Hi everyone, I am trying to locate a toy I had when I was little. It was an electronic toy, my cousin and I both had one and ours were a light brown color, don't think they were avail. in other colors. When there were no sheets on the front it looked like a orange target. It had white plastic records you inserted and then you would place the corresponding sheet on the top. There were all different educational themes. The record would play a sound and you would have to locate the correct item on the sheet. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Mine broke, as did my cousins so they are long gone but I think it would be fun to locate one for my son who is 5.
I remember about 16 years ago..i used to buy these dinosaur looking flexible animals that you could wrap around your pencils..i remember buying them in the school store. Any ideas?? There was a wire that ran through them that made them flexible, they seemed to be made of plastic, very bendy arms and legs and a tail..?? From, Cranston RI
I think I found the name of my mystery toy, Mattel Doubles!!! I searched vintage sailor toy on ebay again and found them!! I knew I wasn't crazy and didn't dream them up, haha!!
Jason, the second movie sounds like Kissyfur to me. I knew it as a TV show, movies could have been made. Check out youtube and watch the theme song.
Im looking for the name of a toy i played with in the 80s. It was like a projector that made images on the wall when the lights were off. There were some sort of plastic cards/sheets?? with images/pictures on them. Each had a theme of some sort. ex: one had a bunch of cars, one had unicorns, etc... Its driving me nuts! if anyone knows what im talking about email me please: jamie31girl@hotmail.com
i had this stuffed puppy that talked got it for christmas around 1987 or 1988 it would recat in diffrent sencers both ears and tail he would say that hurts that hurts head would say that feels good and underarms and feet would laugh and say that tickles that tickles and you could hug him and would say something like i am your buddy im your huggie and you could burp him and he would say brup now excuse me cant rember its name would love to find one for my 2yr old son
Mickey, I think the dog you're referring to is a Feelin' Special Pets dog.
Jason- I think the first movie might be Fern Gully, kind of the Avatar of the old days. For everyone else, I'm looking for a tablet sort of drawing toy that closely resembles the Crayola Color Explosion. You used a "pencil" and pushed around what I remember as and oily substance to reveal multiple colors underneath. Magic Slate and Etch a Sketch are close but no cigar. Any ideas?
@Andrea: I think you are referring to the Marvin's Magic Drawing Board. They used to show the commercials on tv and qvc all the time.
In the mid to late 1970's, I bought a sound activated ball at a local furniture store. (The store has long since closed.)The ball was a milky white plastic with green and red 40 watt light bulbs in it. The two bulbs would flash or hold steady based on the sound. The white ball would reflect the green or red. I bought it around Christmas and it became part of my younger brothers and sisters Christmas tradition. They called it the "talking ball" because the woman who sold it to me said the colors would change when you talk near it. Needless to say the kids were amused by it and spent many Christmas Seasons trying to "out-wit" the ball. The ball ended up with one of the brothers' whose wife didn't appreciate the significance of the ball or that it was made of plastic. My brother found it at the bottom of a closet in many pieces. It couldn't be salvaged. I'm trying to find out the actual name of the ball and to locate one.
could anybody help me find a toy i used to love.It was a plastic handheld fashion toy and you could change the faces, hair, top, trousers skirt etc to create different images by using the dials on the sides of the toy. I suppose a bit like fashion wheel but no colouring involved as the pictures were already there. Im not holding much hope as i seem to have searched the entire toy section of ebay but if anybody could perhaps tell me what it was called I would be grateful - I know my girls would love it
I was trying to figure out a learning system I used to have in the 80's maybe 90's where you would put a book on it and touch the spot and it would tell you the word , number, shape, depending on the book that was in it...kind of had a spiral thing to hook the book into the learning system...Maybe a teax instrument product or mattel...i have no idea.
I am trying to find the name of toddler toy from late 80,s or early 90's was an activity toy set with a chest I belive an ABC book some puppets and perhaps more not sure sorry I do remember that on full house when uncle Jessie was naming his band that his twins on the show had one of the puppets a monkey which he ended up naming his band after lol pls help if you can thnx.

I am looking for a plush doll that stands 17" or higher battery operated mickey mouse that when you push he's tummy he talks. Its made by Mattel inc.
I am trying to find a name for this toy bear that had roller skates and actually moved.
I had this board game that came with a stack of little plastic babies and a set of capes. You kept the babies in a milk bottle and the bottle was also part of the games like one where you have to shoot the babies up into the bottle onto a cardboard thing. The original packaging was pink but i do not know the name. Other games in it included tic tac toe the game boards were plastic and it came with a few boards most of which had games on both sides
I am looking for a board game my sister and I were given as a gift by an aunt in the mid-80s. It was a junk food-based board game (NOT Candyland!). I cannot remember what the point of it was anymore, but I do remember it having pictures of hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, etc. all over the gameboard. It was a standard gameboard, no 3-dimensional or battery-operated parts. My sister and I loved it and played it all the time! Any ideas?
I was given a transformer like toy set in the late 1970's early 1980's.
It was a space set from memory the main part was a plastic bubble that would come apart so you could sit a spaceman of sorts in it and reassemble the sphere with a black traction rubber band thing to seal it ,You could then place a AA battery operated thing on it and it would either drive on the ground or run in water .
I have no idea what it was I know it was not 'Transformers' it predated this the figures were smallish the playset was interchangable and you could buy other sets to add to it .
Any help in naming this toy or pointing me in the direction of pictures would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking for a game that my boyfriend told me he used to play when he was younger. (He's currently 21, for timeline purposes.) He said it was a cube shaped thing that had knobs, and you had to turn to the color and/or number that it told you before you ran out of time and it yelled at you. Any ideas what this might be??
I am looking for the name of a small toy put out in the early 80 it was a small bean filled doll with a hard head came in plastic peanut.
This, I believe, is a fairly odd one. The toy was a football like ball. Imagine a football with the ends cut off and a inverted cones in there place with a hole through the center. The ball was a soft squishy rubber. I don't believe it was ever widely sold. My mother found it at a store while on business. I played with this thing for years until one day I was working and we were tossing the ball back and forth over a roof top when one of us came up short. To this day, I believe it is probably still on that roof top. Has anyone ever seen one of these? It would have been around 1997 or 98 that I got it.
ChrisC
I have been looking EVERYWHERE for this.
I bought one and gave it away, late 80's-90's?
It came from either Brookstone or Sharper Image-
searched every possible combination of "toy hollow blue football" + each site and alone-
nothing until I saw your post from last year.
ANYONE??? Thank you!
Been looking for this forever since my sister threw it out. It was a learning tool from probably the 70s. Consisted of a tray, semicircle in shape, that you opened one side and would put a circular paper that had word exercises or different school subjects trivia on it. You would load one of these sheets of paper than take a smaller, round, blank piece of paper and overlay the first, then close the tray. There was a slot in the tray that you could see the questions or word exercise, then a smaller slot where you could write an answer on the blank piece of paper. The tray had a lever you would pull down after writing an answer which would rotate both pieces of paper inside the tray. If anyone knows what this is after reading this crazy description I would be extremely grateful if you shared it with me:)
This is for Megan who commented on 21 Nov. I had a game similar to that (it wasnt square though) but it came out in the mid 90s called Brain Warp. You had to quickly hold the said color or number face up if you want to move on.
In the 1990's, Sear's used to publish large Christmas catalogs with everything on sale that season. I anticipated it every year as a child. One year there was a small racecar set that was no larger than a board game, with plastic cars that were a little bit bigger than the size of a quarter. The track was enclosed in a clear plastic "tube" and was powered by air. When you turned the air pump on, the cars would shoot through the (small) tubes and you could direct where they went, etc. It wasn't very big, and actually broke on Christmas day. I only got to play with it for a few minutes, but I had longed for it forever and now remember it as the greatest lost toy ever. Any help?
Trying to find a game from the last 70's early 80's It was electronic and had cards. You had to find out who was the murderer. It electronically played "pray for the dead and the dead will pray for you" I realize that isn't much to go on. Would just love to know the name of the game and if anyone else had it.
Can someone help me? It was around the late 80s-early 90s..It was a dog stuffed animal..built via the teddy bear style..(as opposed to the lying down dog looking style) It was greyish, has a nylon-ish belly and when you sqeezed it's paw (think it had leather paw pads too) it would whimper..does anyone know what they were called or where I can buy one? http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p469/foxxfur/Picture20032.png
Hi I'm looking for the name of this toy, made back in the 80's it looked like miss piggy,was plastic that stood on a small base,she came with a mic you could sing into and when you did the pig moved back and forth to the sound of your voice. Does anyone have any ideas please help! Thanks
i am looking for a toy, my mom said it was called fashion stage. i am thinking there is more to the name than that. it was a stage with i believe 3 sections that you could put a doll on it (dolls came with it i think) and move them across the stage. i remember my grandpa had to put it together and it took some time. i think it had lights and sounds too. it was either late 70s...78 or 79 or early 80s. 80, or 81. thanks!!
I am looking for a toy, probably 80's item. It was a very small basketball court, with a see-through plastic/elastic cover. 2 opponents, each could press a button, and little kickers where activated, which kicked the basketaball for a score. There where a lot of holes for the balls, and each hole, had 2 kickers I think, so both players could try and "kick" the ball... I also think this game was available for soccer, but not 100% sure.

I am wanting to know about 2 dolls from I believe the late 70's to very early 80's. One was dressed like fire, with red hair and flame colored outfit and a plastic helmet, the other was ice, blue outfit and helmet. I am literally going crazy trying to remember the name of the doll or maker.
I'm trying to find out the name of a doll i played with. should be late 80's, maybe early 90's. The doll was mesh/cloth she had red hair, and came with a merry-go-round/swing type thing. You hooked her onto it, and pumped your hand up and down to make the merry-go-round work. I believe she had the name "amy" printed on the bottom of her foot. If anyone knows of this, please let me know
I'm searching for a toy I had in early childhood, I was born in 86'. So like maybe 88' they were fairies. One red one blue and the other I don't remember. The had curly hair and large bottoms that lit up. They came with a tree that was like a doll house. If anyone out there knows what I'm talking about please E mail @ shellypfingsten@yahoo.com
Any one know a teddy bear from the late 70's or 80's that had blue and white checked overalls with patch on the leg and would laugh when you shook him then say I love you??? My friend is going crazy trying to find her childhood toy, but she doesn't remember his name. Thanks!!
I am looking for a very strange toy. It may have been a Dino Riders knock off. It was a green toy, I think it was a triceratops, but it had carrots on the side of it. There was a pilot that could ride in it, it was a mint green rabbit. This was a plastic "boys toy". I think that it had pull back action so that if you pulled it back it would race on a wood floor. The carrots on the side of the dino may have had firing action. I really liked this toy and can't find any info on it! Feel free to email me GalFriay.Kate at Gmail.com
I'm not sure if this has been answered already or not but...the photo of the young lady holding the big brown stuffed animal with the big nose and red shoes is Lurky. He is one of the villans from Rainbow Brite
To Michael Sept. 2008...Could this be the toy you are looking for? http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_AngelBunny.htm
Hi, I'm looking for a figure toy. Made from hard plastic. She had pink hair and a green outfit. With a magnet in the hand. The doll came with a blue cat, with closed eyes but the doll's magnetic hand moved the cats head and then the eyes opened. No idea what it was called and had it years ago.... My minds been going crazy trying to think what it was called.
I am looking for a toy that a ribbon or string on it that moves and makes shapes when you press the button on the had held device. I saw these when I was at a theme park in Florida and I don't remember the name.
I don't know if anyone remember this, but there was this toy plane that was called the Jumbo Jet, It would make noise when It was about to take off. And when it was about to land, the front wheels would come down when the plane was landing, then the front doors would open to show stairs where the passengers would be able to walk down those stairs and show a flight attendent at the door. IF someone can remember that would be nice. one of my favorite toys.
Ok, I remember having this thing when I was really little in the late '80s. It was more or less an interactive tape recorder. It was a big, white plastic box almost with the tape player on the left side, a place to place the book, and four large buttons on the bottom that were red, blue, green, and yellow. You had to buy the book/tape seperately (I had Muppets, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Fraggle Rock, and one where Goofy talked about sports), and you looked at the book as the tape played and you could change the story/songs/sounds/etc. by pushing a different button. I loved that thing to death, but can't remember what it was called for the life of me.
Cant remember the name of some alien toys that were based on a cartoon in the late 70s. There were good aliens and evil ones, the good one had a hard jointed body with a soft rubber human head. It was about 5" tall and see through white sort of colour. The evil one was the same but purple with an alien head and you could see his brain inside, he also had a space ship that he would sit in. This one has been bugging me for over a year and I have scouerd the internet for the names so any help please and thank you.

hi, I have a stuffed dog, about two and a half feet long and made of parachute material. He is yellow with a cream/white stomach and big orange ears. He has a yellow pouch on his stomach with a rainbow on it. His paws are white. My sister also had a monkey of the same material that was pink with a cream/white stomach with a rainbow on his pouch. They had hard round eyes and hard black oval noses we have been unable to find anything about them. We believe they were brought from QVC or HSN around 1987-1988. Does anyone have any ideas?
Yay. Found it- http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/9211/run-yourself-ragged @Dave (comment left June 10, 2011)- It's called Run Yourself Rugged :-)
Hi, i dont know if anyone will remember, or know where to look, but I am looking for a clown doll for my sister. When we were little, my grandmother used to sell items for a company called American home toys (or so my mother said) and she bought a clown doll from this company. I don't know how tall it was, but it had yarn hair, and had like, a blue suit with red sleeves, and it was made of all cloth. My sister had this doll for years, and it was lost on a amtrak train in 1996 on our way home from a vacation. my sister has been looking fo this doll ever since. If you think that you may know what doll this is, or where to find it, please email me at nickelynn@gmail.com. I can also try to upload a picture if needed. I am also going to keep looking, because I know that this would make her birthday the best one ever. PLease, I really need help finding this doll, and I am beginning to dispare that i will ever find it. please email me if you have any information about it or any suggestions. Thank you
I'm trying to find my favorite bathtub toy of the early 1980s, and I can't remember what it was called or who made it. It was a floating iceberg and had two little circle "seats" cut out to hold a penguin and a polar bear. Any ideas? Thanks!
AMY, are you thinking of SEA WEES? The playset that came with a Barbie-type mermaid and a floating sponge "island" with a hole cut out of it to fit a cute little rubber "pal" for the mermaid - penguin, seal, etc.???
I recieved the following message. Would anybody happen to know this: "I am trying to find a green monster that stood about 12-14″ high that my son (that is grown now) would NOT part with. This was in about 1985-86… It had NON bendable arms and legs sort of a harder plastic…It looked like there was slime running off of the arms and legs of it…I would like to find another and give it to him as a gift…Can you Please help me????"
I'm trying to identify an action figure that appears to be from the mid-80s. The body, arms, and legs, are all brown, with some hatchmarks to represent a tunic. He has a beard. He is wearing a gray helmet and cape (they are a single piece). He looks a little like he might come from the He-Man universe, but he's not a character I recognize. Any ideas?
hello, im just wondering about this one toy i had when i was small, it was a very small doll , not as big as a barbie doll. it was very small, it was a ballerina , and it came with this little man, the man looked like something you would use as a cake topper, anyways, you could get different ones, with different backgrounds, i loved this doll and if anyone has any idea what it could be please let me know ! thanks.
oh and by the way, the toy im looking , i think it was from the 1990's . i really want to know what this toy is . thanks.
I am looking for a board game my sister had in the late 80s/early 90s. It was a girls game where you would get different pieces of clothing to slide onto your wood (maybe?) doll frame.
in response to Return to the 80s, I believe you might try looking for Tendril from the Inhumanoids line, funny because I was looking for the same exact thing
bozo the clown maybe?
I have a VERY vague memory of a game from the late 70's or early 80's that had either a water bubble in it or a mercury bubble? That is truly the only thing I remember but it was one of the first toys I bought myself and was trying to remember what the heck it was!
A pink, white and yellow gazebo that had a pool in the middle. It can fit a barbie doll im looking for it anywhere
im looking for the name of a design kit i had..you could design a room by tracing over the pictures provided i think..there was a kitchen and other rooms..i had this about 85
I'm looking for a toy that I need information on badly. I believe it was from the 1970's. It was a bean bag doll with a soft plastic face and hard plastic hands and feet. I believe the doll may have been a take on the original Pitiful Pearl Doll as it had a blue teardrop on the face. The body was bean bag though and the doll was only about 10 inches. The feet were black and the body was checkered fabric with a kerchief for a hat. Help....please.
I'm looking for a hand-held version of Galaga. It was white and shaped like either the ship itself or a triangle of some sort. I KNOW it existed in the early-mid 80's, but I can't find any record or proof of it. Thanks!
a 1980s strong plastic toy car that you can change parts on it like the fender to new and back to dented,and comes with a battery operated tool so you can change tires and the fenders and the engine,had one can't remember the name.i seen the comercial only once on tv for it,love that toy,wish i did'nt set it on fire.

Sharon, do you perhaps mean the Galaga 91 handheld? Pics here: http://www.handheldempire.com/game.jsp?game=1329
I'm looking for a toy gun, from the 80s, that shot yellow rubber bullets. It was black and came with two magazines. The toy had two grips, one where the normal gun grip was and one in the front to stabilize the barrel. In order to shoot a rubber bullet, you had to depress both triggers and pump the gun. It was kind of awkward but very fun. I can't remember the brand name, just that I purchased it at Big Lots.
Adam-Maybe it was a NERF gun?
Trying to ID a toy I saw in department store in about 1986 (I was 4). It was like a moulded plastic mill, atop a mountain, surrounded by a pond with tiny plastic silver fish in it and plastic trees I think. If you wound a handle, a conveyor belt would take the fish from the pond, up a ramp, into a water mill, and they would go through the building and then back into the pond out the other side. I know, it's the weirdest sounding toy ever, but I got to play with it on the display and it has bugged me ever since. No one I know has any recollection of such a toy. On another forum, someone suggested 'Mr Fishy Wishy's Marvellous Contraption' but I think they were kidding around; I can't find any information on that name! Haha.
@JACOB- It could be "Ogra", one of the two male warriors from a line very similar to He-Man/She-Ra called "Golden Girl & Guardians Of The Gemstone."
@JACOB- pics of the collection here...

I'm trying to identify a girl's toy that my cousin had in the very early 80s. It was a collection of small dolls - I believe with a fashion theme. There was also a case that you could put them all in. The case held about three rows and eight columns of dolls. The case was plastic and looked like a building of some sort with a door in the middle of one side. You could use the door in the case as a kind of "runway entrance" for your dolls to show off their fashions. I don't think the dolls actually changed clothes. I think they each had their own "personality."
Im trying to find the name of a toy from the 90's i think. It was a tv that fit into your hand and it opened up to a small room that had that exact tv in the room. It came with a big doll and an identical tiny doll that fit in the room. There were others like a bed, a couch, etc. Can anyone tell me what they were called.
to the people looking for the stretchy action figures with the snap on armor i believe youre looking for tacky stretchoid warriors
Looking for the name of these little dolls... They came in different 'houses,...one was in an ice-cream sundae, a anothe in a spoon...the houses opened to reveal the tiny dolls. Any ideas? They were from either the 70's or 80's.
yes back in the eighties the pot holder used to hold different kinds of plastic faces doll. clown . santa,and the half back of the head was not there and it was put in the middle of the potholder and and tied around the face and a button was on the back so you could still use the pot holder or hang just for decoration can any one help me find a pattern for this and i can do thanks much glennis my email is glennisarnott@yahoo.com
Hi, i am looking for the name of an odd toy. it was like a silicon puppet, with glow-in-the-dark eyes and a strange system to move them. You could put your hand like a normal puppet, and it had little arms with hands, even nails (all very softy, made of silicon). The toy itself was very ugly, like a monster, and it had the size of a handball ball. Dont know if it was related with a tv show or something... Hope you could helpme! thanks!!
@BRUNELLO http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/80s-vintage-boglins-dwork-rubber-73747858 I think you are talking about "Boglins" I had one as a child and used to torment my little sister with it lol there are several pictures of it on the link I posted above. :) Hope I helped you.
Tammy, you are awesome! :D this is what i was looking for! thank you so much :D
I'm looking for something I had back in the 70's (or maybe early 80's). they were 2 brown stuffed monkeys with velcro on the hands and long arms so they could hug each other (noses touched but not magnetic. Anyone remember these?
I used to have a hat back in the late 70's or early 80's that was like a sailor hat worn by Giligan, but it had eye holes cut out with round color lenses in them. I know there were graphics on it, but don't recall what they were. Any idea what the hat was called? Thanks
"Big Big Loader" was the name of the set with the interchangeable dump truck, loader, etc, plastic bodies that pushed around ball bearings and stuff!
Trying to find a toy/truck/set from the 80s...I remember the trucks were motorized, 4x4, they had clear bottoms, so you could see the gears (and grease!) as the wheels turned...(they were not stompers)...i think they were friction or something, not battery operated...I had a Toyota or Datsun/Nissan pickup, and I think I had some playset that was based on a mountain or sand dune or hill climb? I thought Tomy or Matchbox made them, but I am having no luck! Thanks for any and all help!
Im looking for the same electronic headset toy as becky. I remember it had cartridges you plugged into the headset (I want to say the right side ear area), and it did have a microphone. I remember one about space/solar system and one about dinosaurs, and yes you could change its voice to your liking (Do you want me to talk like this?). It was semi bulky. It responded to yes/no responses, and Im pretty sure it was the 1980s as well. Its been driving me nuts, as I cant seem to find it via googling. Anyone with help would be SUPER appreciated!
Also, the voice change thing - I remember you could pick male or female, robotic, etc and speed it up a lot or slow it down - as well as change the pitch from low to high. A strange feature, but I remember I use to mess with that feature a lot :P
I don't know if anyone answered, but one of this pictures of an unknown toy is that of one of the bad guys from Rainbow Brite. "Any clue what this stuffed animal is? Had to be from around 1984-1987 or so? Thanks" was the picture caption.
In 1980 when my son was learning to walk, I bought him a bright yellow chicken toy that had a blue rubber tailpiece to hold onto to help him learn to walk. When the child was walking well, you could take the tail off and make it into a riding toy. Its head bobbed up and down and its eyes blinked and it made chicken sounds as he pushed it. Sent it to my sister in '81 for her little girl and never got it back. Anyone know what it was called? I would so love to have one for my grandchild.
Shawna, You're thinking of Murky and Lurky. The big brown fuzzy one is Lurky and the little one with the green face and the helmet is Murky :) I LOVED rainbow bright! Still trying to find the original 1980s doll with the orange woollen hair.. keep missing them by minutes on ebay!
In response to Cherrie from Nov 15, 2009. I've been looking for that too. May or may not be the same thing you are looking for, but what I had was the 1972 game by Matchbox called Cascade. Steel balls would go up the spiral and then bounce across 3 drums into a small square platform where they exit through holes to a rail that feeds them back to the spiral. I loved it!
i am trying to figure out the name of these teddy bears that had clear tummys and the song on the commercial was like "yumm yummy yummy i got... something in my tummy yumm yumm something something" lol but they had clear tummys wityh stuff that would be in there like u'd push there stomache n popcorn would pop around or sumthin like that i dont remember much but its driving me insane...
The small doll with the heart shaped jewel in the center is from a line called "Sweet Secrets". The toys opened and the head/arms/legs would fold inside. There was a clip on the back to attach to your clothing and it came with a lanyard that would clip into a slot in the back. Thanks for the memories!
Im looking for a black doll. The Black doll has a button on it that makes it fall apart. The limbs should go limp. The limbs are held together by rubberbands. Doll should be from the 70s or 80s. I wish I had more information but I dont. please help. Thank you
Sorry its a baby doll.

I am trying to identify an action figure from the late 80's or early 90's. He is about 6.5" tall and is wearing a two piece grey cloth jacket and pants. He has knee high brown plastic boots, a brown plastic gun belt and a rust colored plastic vest. He has bright orange/red hair and mustache and is wearing a silver mask. Under his clothes he is built like a wrestler and is wearing non-removable black underwear. He was made in Hong Kong and has jointed arms and legs. Does anyone have any idea?
Have been searching for a couple of years now and can NOT find this old toy I had! From the late 70's or early 80's. It was a brown plastic log with hidden woodland animals that would popout. It had a spot to "chop" and spot to "saw" and to "screw". It came with a plastic (I believe all in one) saw/axe/screwdriver. I remember the screwdriver part was blue and C shaped (old fashioned). When you did each function an animal would pop out. I remember the end of the log had the squirrel that would pop out. When I lost the tool, the animals were trapped in there forever! Can ANYONE help me identify this old toy?? It is driving me crazy!!!
I am trying to find a toy I had as a kid. It was a see through plastic horse that was scented. reply back to ixamberluvxi@yahoo.com if you know what it is.
I have been searching for this toy my dad used to have when he was a kid back in 83-84. The way he described it he said it was a red handheld battery operated viewer that had clear cartridges that had little tape reals in it. He said when you pushed the button on it with the tape in there was a little metal piece that fed the tape through the viewer and it played the intro to the old scooby doo where are you. He said he aint sure if there was just a scooby doo cartridge or if there were more for it but if anyone knows what he may be talking about please email me Email: dylanhuffman31@yahoo.com or if you want to email my dads Which is michaelhuffman73@yahoo.com If you know what this is please tell me!
Thank You!

I am looking to locate a toy from the mid to late 1980s. I don't have any idea what it is called, but here is a description: It was a folding plastic pocket "boardgame". It folded into a pocket-sized piece, about the size of a deck of cards. It had about 4-5 panels that all hinged together, and folded out to a long boardgame. I believe each piece contained multiple games, or at least one on each side. It also came in different colors like orange, green, blue, etc. Any remember this or know what it is called?
I used to play w/ this puzzle-type toy in the mid-80s but it's from the 70s I think. It was in a flat box and inside were flat cardboard square tiles with different types of house designs. You could make the roof, house w/ windows, yard, etc and place the squares on the tray. I can't think of the company or the name and it's been driving me nuts!! heater96@hotmail.com. THANKS!
I'm trying to find a stuffed rabbit I had as a baby in the 1980s- unfortunately I know little about it and it probably wasn't a common toy. The toy company that produced it is probably no longer around as I've searched everywhere. It's orange-ish with a pink nose and green feet, very small, with a white or off white tummy. It has a noisemaker inside it that emits a squeaky sound when you shake it.
Alright - here's a puzzler. Late 70's, early 80's. It's a plastic dog in a top hat. You depress the top hat, and its eyes close, its nose and tongue retract, and its ears pop out..... then you wait.... UP pos the hat..... tick, tick, tick... ears fall one by one.... tick, tick, tick... nose pops out, eyes open, tongue pops out, and he rolls forward. Who made this? Are there any still in existence? What was its name/manufacturer/item number? A question that has kept me occupied for about 12 years now. Any help would be AWESOME.
Rich - January 19, 2012: You're not thinking of a "Dumb Donald" hat from Fat Albert, are you? Kinda a long shot, but hope it helps. = )
@Hana I'm pretty sure I have one of those orange rabbits you are talking about. I got mine in '89, a gift from a family friend. I don't know much about it and I haven't been able to find much online either. I know from the tag that it was made by GUND,Inc. !987 .
I'm dying to remember the name of a trio of minature girl dolls from the 80's. I think they were in a band maybe and had this platform that was separated into three sections...maybe a house, a stage, and a beauty salon? Any ideas???
there was a sound effects toy sometime back in the 80's that i had. it was dark blue with orange knobs and it made all kinds of cool sounds. can't remember the name of it though. it had a setting called 'phaser' and you could control the pitch, rate/speed, and a few other settings. ring any bells?
I am trying to figure out what a the little silicone rubber type toys were back in the 60's 70's. I had a purple mouse with big ears, a large belly with an indent and a mouse nose with a ball on the end. They came in solid or mixed colors. everything stuck to them. we called them Googles, but not sure if that was what they were called. used to by them at the 5 and 10 stores
I am trying to remember the name of a series of dolls that lived inside a cookie, a sundae, and a popscile.

Looking for a toy from about 82-83 that had a little plastic heart and when you squeezed the body it lit up. It was pink and for some reason I'm thinking it was a Care Bear. I just can't seem to find one that lights up. Any suggestions?
Trying to remember the name of a toy I had as a little girl, probably 1987 or 88? It was a little boy dressed in light blue pajamas and a pajama cap and he talked when you pressed a button on his hand. His lips lit up in light red on his face. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
trying to remember a toy i had between late 90's early 2000's i dont remember much except it was a little animal and it had dice in its tummy and you press it. and it came in a house. can someone help?
I have a toy to stump you all with.I cant find one anywhere.I had this as a child in the very early80'slike 81-82. It was a blue Trike styled like a motorcycle trike that you pedaled. had blue plastic body big fat wide plastic tires on the back and a solid rubber wheel on on the front. I want to find one but need to know what it was called as my years of searching have turned up nothing. Maybe someone remembers what it was called and who made it. I sure hope so.
The doll with the jewel on its stomach is called Sweet Secrets. I had that one!
I have two things I'm trying to remember the names of and am drawing blanks on both! (1) There was an ice cream shop where you used play-doh to make sundaes. There were molds to make bananas, cherries, etc. I cannot remember what this was called & it's killing me!! (2) There were these small plastic dolls and you would snap different outfits or scenes (i.e. bathtub with bubbles) on her. Any ideas on what she was called? Thanks!
I am looking for a reaaly cheap set of hard plastic babies that were all flesh colored in a package with primary colored furniture. I believe there was four babies and the furniture was a high chair, a crib and two other pieces. I know they were cheap because my mom had very little money and I would get a package of them periodically from the dollar store or someplace!
BOOKS should be a category for this website. Anyway, I am looking for a CHILDREN'S BOOK for the 80s. It was about a new baby girl who joins a family of two brothers and a sister. The siblings are left to look after the baby one afternoon and they all try to stay very quiet. The baby cries until someone makes noise (example one brother builds noisily with blocks, another sings along to music on his Walkman). The kids notice that the baby stops crying whenever something noisy is happening and that this is what makes her happy. It's a very sweet book with great illustrations. Kind of like a Golden Book format. ANY TAKERS??
Didi: The (2) Things you mentioned, I had the same toys. They were called Dolly Pops. As soon as you mentioned the bath tub one the image popped right into my head! Search it on this site, you might find some. I actually saw a version of them at Target over Christmas.
As a gift when I was an infant, I recieveda stuffed bear. My mother told me he came wearing a pair of green overalls w/ the name Joshua printed on them. I have been looking for years for a duplicate bear or just the overalls. If anyone has a clue, I'd love some info. Thank you.
Hi does anyone know this? It was like a barbie doll sort of style doll that came inkjet a plastic video case and each one you brought was a different room and all the video type cases clicked together and made a big house really annoying me I just have this image and thought ??? Any help :)?? X
I'm looking for something similar to Questron. It was something that had cards with little holes in them that you would put on something metal like? Then there were two "pens" that had metal tips and when you would put them on the thing it would light up red or green, whether you were right or wrong. That's all I can remember...thanks"
I know I seen Jessie ask this question a couple times & for awhile now I have also been looking for the name of the makeup that clips on necklaces, hair-clips etc. I finally found it, it's Fazz, by hasbro!
I have a toy horse which I haven't been able to identify. It is Barbie size, pink body with purple hair; it came with tiny stickers which you could 'tattoo' her body with; also has a removable gold tiara with a pink gem and pink feather out the top. It is not a Fashion Star Fillie. Any thoughts on what this is?
I used to have a "fortress" or "base" that had a large cobra head at the front of it. The Cobra was actually a sort of escape vehicle that ejected from the front of the "base".
Anyone remember that and know what it was called?
Does anyone know how to find the stuffed Care Bear that sings or talks only when someone touchs both paws and completes the circuit? I think it was the yellow one. Thank you!

Looking for the name of a toy I had... late 80s or early 90s. Small plastic fairy doll, maybe 4 inches tall, clear plastic wings with gold butterfly designs, fabric flower for a skirt, white clip on the back. NOT Star Fairy! send any info to tekanologie@gmail.com
The little plastic skeleton is from a line called "Pocket Power." He came with a sword, shield, and horned helmet. They made a whole series of toys that all fit on a little black card about 2.5" by 4" and about a quarter inch thick. There was a little helicopter that flew, a motorcycle that shot off of a spring, and some others. I had a few of them, including the skeleton. :)
Not sure if there is another way to reply to PHOTO inquiries, but to whomever wanted to know, "i got this in the 80s or 90s -- what is it called? for some reason i always called it a whip it -- but now im just confused what it is called" --- it is called a Clacker (Klacker). And to the person who posted the photo asking "Can someone identify these toys? both are plastic, one yellow with blue crown and yellow jewel, while the second is blue with purple crown and blue jewel. i think they were in a 1980's cartoon, but i can't find them" --- they are Bush Woolies from My Little Pony. For the person with the tiny plastic ponies "anyone remember the name of these? I had like 20. they have a 'key' (random shape) on the bottom of their feet that would open the house/shop they came with. I had a beauty shop and an icecream shop" --- they are called Petite Ponies. Hope that helps someone!

Okay this is driving me nuts!! I have this little doll that looks like a witch and shes light green with yellow hair, a green and purple cloak like dress that has printed eye balls on it with purple fur trim around the neck and wrists. I am thinking it's from the 80's if anyone knows or can help please let me know I can email you a pic if you think you may have the answer
I have been desperately trying to find out the name of a 3-D pop up type of book that I played with in the 80's. I'm not positive it came from that time period though. I had a fort/treehouse book and a house book. The fort was more memorable since it had lots of hiding spaces, doors and a tire swing. I think it came with clip on dolls about 4" tall. Their hands would clip onto different parts of the popped up pieces. The doll that I remember the most had crazy green yarn hair and was wearing a green suit. I have searched online for years and cannot find out what this book or type of books were called. Any help would be appreciated!
does anyone remember this kind of drawing game where you hae 3 plates of different superheroes or monsters that you could put together and make a drawing out of it?..each plates was one of the head and shoulder,the 2nd one was of the mid section and 3rd was the bottom.i cant remember this 80s game/toy and its killing me cause i loved it as a kid.
@Bryan Sounds like rubbing plates. Check out this on Ebay and see if it is similar to what you are thinking about. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/VINTAGE-70S-TOMY-LITTLE-VAN-GOES-MIGHTY-MEN-MONSTER-MAKER-CRAYON-RUB-ART-KIT-NR-/110834078373?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19ce39d2a5 Also, do a Google search for "tomy mighty men and monster maker" Hope this helps!

@JEN Jan26th: I think you're looking for The Yum Yums. You can see them here... http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_YumYums.htm
i had a doll i got when i was two years old, in 1990 - not sure if its true but i was told it came with a card that said her name was "sasha" and she didnt like to be packed away in boxes or dark areas so if i go somewhere i should keep her with me. link to picture: [her clothes were made and sewn on my myself, as i lost her old clothes. also, she's a very old doll so her hair isnt fine and comb-able anymore, she was put in the dryer and her hair shriveled up, and she's got some 'scars' from being thrown around and beaten up after all the years. haha] http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150843486798569&set=a.10150834401753569.509635.778438568&type=3&theater
I had a toy, either late 80s early 90s, I am dying to know what it was called. It was like a light brite but it had a black screen that you used different shapes to poke through the holes to let the light through. There were (I think) red and yellow tools. There was also a tool that you could roll vertically or horizontally and one that only went diagonally. They had a circle, triangle, square. There was also a wheel at the bottom to turn the light bulbs which were different colors. And to clear your picture you slid the black screen up. Please Help!!
@Andekay Is that maybe the Honey Hill Bunch?
Laura, are you thinking of LIGHTS ALIVE?
My daughter loves this doll and I would like to buy another one. Does anyone know what the name of this doll is? It was purchased in the later 80s or early 90s. That's Baby Check-Up.
@saundrah Thanks for your response. I looked up Honey Hill Bunch and that's not it :( The treehouse/fort was definitely a pop up/fold out book, not a plastic toy. The clip on doll I was talking about may not have been sold with the book, but when I was given the book, the dolls were with it. If you google Three-Dimensional Victorian Dollhouse book, this is the type of book I'm talking about, but I can't find the treehouse/fort book anywhere.
The pink & blue balls attached to a rod handle in a plastic V were called Junior Clackers as the originals were 2 hard balls on cords connected to a ring you put on a finger - the idea was to bounse the balls at the bottom and then at the top- They were very noisy and ultra dangerous many bruises and broken bones were suffered from the originals. so plastic versions came into being.
Does anyone know the name of the toy that was red and had water inside it...and these little jelly rings floated around in the water. You had to push a white button on the front of it. When you pushed the button the water would surge up and the rings would go crazy with the surge and then they would settle in and you had to try to get them on the pegs...
@MM It's called waterful ring toss. If you do a google image search you'll see a few different varieties of the game. I loved that game!
I'm looking on finding out a name of a doll made of cloth, he's a boy and he has a blue shirt that says "I love you". He wears plaid pants, and white shoes. He is fair skin and he has a frown on his face. He also wears a blue and white baseball cap. I don't know much about it other than then description. It was a childhood favorite because he was good in size for a little kid to carry around. Any info on the item would be appreciated!
SZA: THANK YOU!!! I've been scouring the internet trying to find that thing! I LOVED that toy! (So much that I got another one when my first one was eaten up by battery acid!)
Can anyone give me information on an 80's or 90's yellow shiny toy dog figurine wearing pajamas {not ones you can take on or off but that are hard like the figurine} with a hairy pink tail? I don't have a picture of it or anything.. It's just something I remember having as a child. Thanks!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help with this toy ID I had a plush elephant that also changed into a pig. The pig was in clothes and the elephant in pjs(glow in the dark) they changed by unzipping the back and pushing the body and then zipping back up again. I think they came in a variety of animals my sister had a dog/bear. they were about the size of a carebear 25-30cms and where around late 80s - early 90s .
Hi everyone. I would like help in identifying a toy that I got during 1986-1990. It was a stuffed dalmatian that came with a roller/walker toy. The dalmatian had floppy ears, a red collar and his mouth was opened with a small tongue attached inside. The roller/walker itself was simple. Just a white plastic body with a long handle, 1 wheel on each side and Velcro at the sides to snap the dog's hind legs into place . At the front of the body was a small flat lever like thing, which you could slide into the neck stuffed toy. And when you pushed it, the dog's head would bob up and down and make a squeaking sound. Been searching for "Spot" for over 3 years now and have yet to find a link or picture. Would appreciate any help. Thanks!
Ok after reading a comment from 2009 I found out that this toy is called Scamps, made by Tomy. Am looking to purchase the dalmatian model if anyone is selling.. the one I had got destroyed by my real dogs when they were teething and the only one I've found was already sold on ebay. Thanks alot!
Someone mentioned dolls that were similar to Mattel Spectra & the Shimmerons & Tonka rivaled Mattel's line of space dolls with their own Aurora line who did have jewels in their eyes.
Does anyone know this toy, not sure if it is 70's or 80's but these toys were different shapes and you connected them together and they made animals. The connecters were round nubs and holes in the pieces themself. I remember the V shapes mading the legs...I think maybe made by fisher price??? Not to sure, I know I had them at the same time I had Little people and weebles!!! Thanks :-)
****SPOTTEDFEATHER**** Spottedfeather - May 29, 2007 - Report this commentThere was a toy that was late '80s, but maybe early '90s. It was, if I remember correctly, shaped sort of like a submarine with one side being neon pink and the other side being neon green. On the bottom of the toy was a black plastic hook. It came with a hobermansphere-like ball that you sat on the ground. It also had a string that you hooked one end of to something (door handle/knob, etc) and held the other end which had a handle. You sat the neon sub-thing on the string using two small pulleys that were in it. Lifting the end of the string that you were holding, the sub slid down to the other end.

I got this toy firetruck one Christmas in the early 1980's. And I remember that in order to make the thing move or turn you had to insert these little yellow hard plastic cutout geometrical shapes. And from what I remember some cutouts were triangles, and moon shaped. Others were hexagon. And they had to be placed on the top of the truck into some kind of receiver. And each shape made the truck move in a different way. And it wasn't like this was a toy for developmentally challenged kids. I remember the lights were really vividly bright. And also it seemed to be a well made toy. But I have no idea what happened to it. Or who made it. Or if any other toys were based on the yellow geometrical cutouts. Does anyone remember this toy? Or who manufactured it.
i don't know if i'm crazy but i swear i had a stuffed animal that was called a nature child. i'm not sure exactly what or if it was even an animal but it was like a bear/lion shape the body was white and it had purple hair like a treasure troll...you would shake it upside down and its hair stood up perfectly straight...i can't remember anymore details i got it 30 years ago lol. please help if anyone knows this creature im talking about i need the name...thanks
Hi everyone!I remember having this movie projector and record player combo toy. It came with small records with this little plastic cartridge that had images on it. You inserted the cartridge into the toy, and as the record would beep then it would go to the next screen. You could project the images on the wall, or you could switch it over to project on the wall or switch to a small t.v. like scree. It was box shaped. It was out in the mid 80's for sure. Can anyone help me with the name or where you get one? Please e-mail me at Msnida98@yahoo. Thanks!!!
I remember an old toy..late eighties..it has four birds (with velcro on the tips of their beak) and the goal of the game was to be the one to catch the most worms from the nest. The birds were green, blue, red, and yellow. I searched everywhere and cannot find the name.
I've been trying to identify an old toy I had. I don't remember the exact years I had it, somewhere in the late 70's-early 80's. It was shooting game that projected a moving spaceship on the wall. When you shot the ship it crashed. The projection console was white with a black base, it had a gun that set into the console. Anybody have any clues? Thanks.
I bought a small Fisher-Price ride on horse for my then 16 month old daughter, who is now 33 years old. I thought it was called 'Bucky the wonder horse' but nothing I have ever seen online matches this horse in color, mostly shape, if anything. It is white, has a black mane, and four blue spots on it's lower neck. The seat is red and does not open up. The wheels are red also and there is a blue tray under the horse to carry small objects. This horse whinnies when you pull his yellow, hard plastic rein, either over his head or back again. The wheels click when in motion. I have been wondering what this horse was called, I called it 'Bucky' all the years I have had it but now I am not so sure what it is called. Anyone have one or know what this one really is? I would love to know since I look at it all the time when my little granddaughter rides it- it was her mom's horse way back then.
I had a cuddly toy in the early 1980's which was a chipmunck or racoon type animal with dungarees and holding a pipe in its hand and was part of a collection of other toy's. I cannot re-call what they were called and lost the original toy a couple of years ago when I moved house. Can any one help with the name of the toy
Hey, I'd love to see a pic of a toy I had in the late 80's early 90's, it was a baby doll, which I still have but it had a tree trunk carry cot and two plastic elves, one with a blue hat and one purple. Anyone remember it ? I don't know what it was called but I called my dolly ' twinkle ' : )
Looking for the name of the doll from the 80's I believe. There were stuffed, had larger heads then bodies. There hair was curly and different color's. They found one on Storage War's tonight and for the life of me can'e remember the names.
Susan I remember the toy where you had lots of different coloured shapes with holes in. You put sticks or something in them to make other things. It has been driving me nuts trying to find out what it is called too!
The little red haired doll with the jewel in its round body ia a sweet secrets doll. There was a whole series of these including some animal ones and some that had real makeup in them above the area that the doll folded into. you could wear them as jewelry and play with them.
The little girl figures in yellow, pink, orange & purple are C.U.T.I.E.S, they were the girls version of M.U.S.C.L.Es.
The little doll in the "unknown" photos, with the orange stringy hair and the jeweled locket for a stomach, that is a Galoob Sweet Secrets doll, from approx. 1984. found some on ebay. google it.
I used to have a toy that you could talk into a microphone and this big doll thing would move side to side and move it's mouth. I think it was like a talking hippo or something. Not a very attractive toy, but cute idea. Anyone remember what this was called? I also had a ballerina doll that when you pushed on her head (her crown, I think?), she would spin in circles. I remember her hair would always get tangled up. Anyone remember this one, either?
Dylan: you're talking about the "Talking View Master" BrianD: you're looking for the "Sound Machine" (by Milton Bradley or Tomy) good luck! hope this helps someone.
Trying to find the name of a soft toy I had in the 80's. It was one toy...say a tortoise that when you pulled his shell over his head became a rabbit. (I know there was another that changed from a dog to a cat). Thanks
This may have been late 90s, but there was a commercial for a flat cloth toy with snaps sewn into it. You could change the shape depending on how you snapped it together (it's a dog! it's a seal!). I think one side was purple and the other magenta, but I'm pretty sure the ads were on Nickelodeon.
I have a Powderpuff Sweetheart House from the 1980s and I would like to know if eBay would be the best place to sell it. If not, any suggestions?
I had a doll and movie when I was little. the doll had green shoes and I think black hair. kinda like one of those barbie kid dolls only she was a little girl and was a fairy. the movie had her in it. Either her name was ruby or jade or emily...cant remember. Anybody know the name of the movie or doll? mypreciousbeauty@yahoo.com
Does anyone remember these toy jewelry from around 1987. They were gold colored plastic squares you could snap rhinestones into and I believe you could snap the squares together to make necklaces and bracelets? I can't remember what they were called. The ones I had were square gold colored and had fuschia rhinestones to snap in.
When I was a lad, I had this big red dragon/triceratops-like robot. Its eyes lit up, it walked, its big attatchable wings flapped, it made roaring noises, its head and tail moved. You could attatch a tank-like thing onto its back, with had moving missiles either side of that, and it came with a "human" robot, who you could half at the waist and sit upon either the tank or the dragon. It was freakig awesome and its bothered me for years. Spent numerous hours over the years trying to find it online but no no avail! ANYBODY have any ideas?! The human robot was tall, had a falcon-like hemet. He could walk by himself, but could be detatched at the waist to fit on the wee tank. The tank could also move by itself, but could attatch onto the dragons back. The dragon itself was a pretty big toy...probably around 15 inches in length. But yeah definitely not a worldwide brand such as star wars or transformers, nobody else had it around where I lived so i'm thinking it may have been some kinda import (I live in Scotland)
I'm looking for a spaceship toy and the associated figure. I think it was early '80s, but it could have been late '70s. The ship came in two parts. The smaller part, where the pilot sat, docked into the larger piece and was wedged shape. The larger piece was square shaped and had a hole in the middle for the smaller piece to fit into. Both pieces were blue and white. The guy wore and orange suit, sorta like the suits x-Wing pilots wear, but he had a big bubble helmet. Definitely NOT a Star Wars toy, though.
Dayna(2008)and Brenda(2007). The toys you are thinking about are called nerfuls, not madballs. Yes, I took me forever to find that out too.
Hi I'm looking for a toy that I had got for my birthday in 1989 or 1990 it was small,medium like dog or rabbit but i think it was a dog it had no tail and was made out of parachute like material that could go into the bath with u. It was pink with purple feet and arms and it had long yellow ears and yellow puffy mouth and it was so soft. If u can tell me what it was called or where to find another one please email me at nicolegirl733@yahoo.com
I am looking desperately for a bear from late 80s early 90s it was brown when you pushed his nose he sneezed, one of his paws growled and did various things.
I am freaking out trying to remember the name of this toy from the 80s. It had a phone on it and there were different buttons you could push to "call" different people. You could call a fireman, 'daddy', etc. and it would play a recording of that person. I think it was called Softalk or something like that. Any help would be appreciated!! Email jenjen047@gmail.com
Several people have asked about town playsets, but the one I am thinking of is NOT Shuffletown, Precious Places, or Maple Town. This was VERY similar to Precious Places- there were different buildings you could link together with pathways. I know for sure there was a tree house. I don't remember if it was magnetic or not. It was pretty gender-neutral (unlike Precious Places.) It would have been in around 1986, 87 or 88.
who is this figure? red hat beard, large nose, fangs, black clothes worn thru to wwite at elbows and knees white hands and feet, white rat like tail, 6 1/4" tall, no marking, can send image
80s lover- the tiny dolls in the spoon, cookie, ice cream sudaes are called mattel sweat treats dolls- you can also find them as little kiddle sweat treats. I found some on the internet because i remember them and sea wees dolls.
I am looking for a set of educational activity cards, the same size as a sheet of paper that went into a cover, then you did the activities with a grease pencil. There were hundreds of sheets, and they came in a box that looked like a recipe box. My mom said she ordered them out of either Better Homes and Gardens or Good Housekeeping but I cannot find anything about them.
My sister and I had these toys back in the early 90's but they could have been 80's as well. They seemed to be fantasy-type figures with lots of accessories. There was a girl with black hair and mainly colored black and purple and a blonde girl who i think was pink? One of them may have had a staff with them. There could have been some guy figures but I;m not sure. I know they had somewhat of a following because i remember have a folder as well. There might have been animals that came as accessories but I'm not sure. Sorry if this isn't much help but thanks anyway.
HI, does anyone know the name of a toy i had from the 80's, it was a hoop like games with 2 handles in the outside (was 2 colours)and you had to spin a ball on the inside.
Hello! I'm looking for two dolla I had as a child in the last 80s. The first one is a pink plush baby doll that is laying on her belly. She is sleeping and has a plastic head with painted on hair and a little curl on the top of her head. She plays a song and her head rolls around to the music. I can't remember if it's a pull string or wind up. The second is a clown doll. It had a plush body and a plastic head, I believe and it had sleepy eyes. It had clown make up painted on its face and red yarn hair. Its clothes had little buttons and strings on its shoes to help you learn to tie and button. I appreciate any help with finding these!!
Hi there, So I am looking for a stuffed parrot from the early 90's, late 80's. I had one as a child and my dog tore it to shreds. It was a bright red, fat parrot, with thin long tail feathers in the back in yellow, green, and one other color. They were VERY brightly colored. The wings were round and had half moon shaped bright "feathers" attached at the bottom of the wings. The beak was not pointy, it was round, and the parrot had big round eyes on the top of his head, and half moon shaped yellow ears on the sides. If anyone knows please help me!! Thanks!
OK, I am going crazy trying to remember the name of this toy I had received as a gift back in the 80's...probably around 1982-1985. The best i can do is describe this toy and hope someone can remember it and give me a name or picture. This was a sit in type of arcade game. It had a seat and i believe it had a steering wheel or handle bars that you used to play the game that was built in onto the machine. The whole machine was attached as in the seat and the console that had the small screen in it that the game played on. I think it may have been either a car race game or a star wars type game but like i said you sat in it andit was like a mini arcade game that i had in my bedroom. The machine was grey in color and i think it had red laser beam stickers or racing stripes on the side. But it was not big like the ones you would see in an arcade it was made of plastic and it was probably if i had to quess about 3 feet long. It was by no means a very expensive unit as i sai dit was made of plastic and it was not anything like "pole position" the arcade game cause that was way to big and this game was mad eof plastic and grey> I dont even remember what was played on the screen but im sure it had to do with the steering wheel and was part of the game.HELP PLEASE!!!
I have these little 5-6 inch dolls made of plastic with plastic hair in braids. They are dressed in clothes representing countries. They were handed down to me by my great-grandmother. They can sit, and all have little plastic black shoes. What are they?
Im looking for the name of a toy I had in the early 90s...It was a plastic, electronic mouse with a wedge of cheese that you hid, and as you got closer to finding the cheese he squeaked. I cant find it anywhere but was convinced it was called Hide and Squeak..am I going insane?
I had a small disk typed toy called maybe a "widget?" it was clear plastic on the front rimmed with white it was octagonal shaped it had a white sticker across the back that held in the fluid. The purpose of the toy was to "draw" on the back with your finger to create different designs in the interior goo that was iridescent. My mother says she purchased it at toys r us in the eighties. My brother peeled the sticker off the back ruining it! Name that toy!
There was a toy that was late '80s, but maybe early '90s. It was, if I remember correctly, shaped sort of like a submarine with one side being neon pink and the other side being neon green. On the bottom of the toy was a black plastic hook. It came with a hobermansphere-like ball that you sat on the ground. It also had a string that you hooked one end of to something (door handle/knob, etc) and held the other end which had a handle. You sat the neon sub-thing on the string using two small pulleys that were in it. Lifting the end of the string that you were holding, the sub slid down to the other end. The object of the thing was to try to hook the hoberman-like ball with the hook on the bottom of the sub. I have searched but haven't been able to find the name of this toy. Any ideas ?
Okay I had a toy in the 80s that I loved but just can't remember what it was called. It resembled a flashlight that used cartridges to project the image on e wall. Mine was red. The handle was skinnier than the body which was was wider. You could pop a cartridge into a slot I would say the cartridges were about 1x2" in size. I had a Smurfs cartridge and I believe a G.I. Joe too. It had an adjustment on the end where the light came out where you could make the picture really large or small. Please if you know what this is I would love to find one for my kids. I remember hours of flipping through the cartoon slides when I was supposed to be sleeping.
I bought this doll for my daughter 21 years ago and want to get one for my granddaughter.. Have no idea where it went.. It had a one piece pink n white maybe pj with a matching cap.. When the babys cry, the dolls face lights up and a ladys voice sings a lullibye... she was blonde soft body with a rubbery face i believe.. Ive been loseing nights and nights of sleeping looking for this doll.. Im beginning to think only one was made in the world and my daughter owned it.. lol
I have looked everywhere it is a playset that had bugs and a radish and an elevator. It kind of looked like the kenner treehouse. I just saw one a few years ago at a doctors office and until then I had forgetten all about it. It would have been from the late 70's. It was awesome.
i was going through old toys i had and i found some tiny little dolls and animals they have a fruity smell to them and some have a hook on the head cant remember if it was for jewelry or to hand on myabe a ferris wheel.im stumped cause i remeber but dont
Looking for a game I played in the early 80s. It was a 2 player game. You had to slide colored tiles on a board to make a pattern faster than the other person. First person to get it won.
WestMi... I found it! I was looking for it too! Even though you posted a few years ago, I'm hoping you'll see this. US1 Trucking

I had a doll back in the late 70's early 80's that you could take in the bathtub (it was waterproof) you could shampoo her hair and when you squeezed her stomach her hair would bubble up even more. I can't remeber what the doll was called. Anyone know?
I am trying to remember the name of a brown furry animal toy that stood about 12-14 inches tall and it talked. It was rather ugly and had a strange name...My grandson was born in 1997 and it was given to him probably in 1999 or 2000 - he did not like it as he was afraid of it.
The weird looking stuffed animal with the huge nose and red sneakers is a Rainbow Brite villain named Lurky.
Trying to remember the name of a stuffed cat about a foot or so in size. touching different areas made him(voice)say It tickles, or it hurts, he would burp(really) and say excuse me, hug him and he said I love you(something like that!), and other sayings. Don't know what happened to him!! We all enjoyed that darn cat!
I am trying to find what I think was called a Disney fun factory. it had a sandwich press type of thing where you could indent the bread with a disney character. then there was a squirting thing you can fill with peanut butter to make your own sandwich. I'm scouring the internet to try and find one, but i either have the name wrong or there is not a single one to be found.
Trying to find this toy from the early to mid 80's (maybe a bit before) It was a family of chipmunks or squirrels that lived in a fabric log. They had fabric cylinder shaped bodies about 1" around, and they were about 2" tall. I think the body had printed clothing. They had flat brownish orange plastic hands (with 'fingers') sewn onto the ends of their fabric arms (the stitches were visible), and flat plastic feet (with 'toes'). I think they squeaked when you squeezed them? Also they may have had fake fur tails. Their house was a fabric log that was brown plastic on both ends that may have been 'embossed' with a log texture, and the fabric had a printed log image on it. It was the same kind of material the figures bodies were made of. It had a flap that opened all along one side that fastened with two pieces of velcro. I think there was a window on the non flap side? Also it had a fabric handle.
Looking for a battery operated crab that sang the 1958 Sea Cruize and one other song. He would stand up and clap while singing.
I am trying to find a game I had in the 80s. It was similar to Hungry Hungry Hippos, only it was dragons with really long pliable necks. If my memory serves, you used an Atari-style joystick attached to each dragon to pick up rings from the center and drop them into a bin on the edge of the board. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I swear I remember this game! Just can't remember what it was called. Does anyone else remember this?
Connie, I think the ugly brown furry animal toy you are asking about may be a Furby. I'm a grown woman and they scared me too!
I cannot seem to find any information on the 1989 Toy Story See 'N Say which is the first year that Mattel went from a string to handle. Does anyone know it's value??
I used to have a playhouse with the Little Golden Books logo on it. It was in multiple primary colors and folded up. I think I got it in 1982 or 83. Can't find any evidence that these existed, can anyone help?
@Brian Paullus: I was looking for the same thing! It is called the 'Show Beam' and it was made by View-Master. Youtube has two commercials and plenty of images can be found.
my son back in early 80's received a childs toy red plastic chainsaw it had a beavers face and made such a noise when you pulled the cord i think it was called buzzy beaver chainsaw sure wish i could find one to purchase do they still make them
I am trying to figure out the name of a toy I had and whether it was the late 80's or early 90's I dont remember, but it was a little bear between 4&6in tall, mine was dark brown but they came in different colors, it was a hard doll that had an almost velvet texture to its "skin" and it had on a blue and green plaid jumper and when you talked or made any noise it would move its arms and i think head.. I think mine was from KB toy store.. please please someone tell me what the name is... Its not Teddy Ruxpin and I don't think it was one of the sylvanian families, it was battery operated.
I am trying to remember the name of a toy I had in the 80's. it came out around the same time as the creepy crawlers machine. it was like an easy bake oven except it made jewelry. mine was purple in color and I only had it briefly because it didn't work. It is not a shrinky dinks oven nor an actual easy bake oven. if someone knows what this is please email me at padaleckisgirl80@att.net thank you so much!!
never mind I found it! it was the ez 2 do fashion machine and it came out in 1992.
HELP! I have looked for years for this toy. It was a gyroscope type toy. My brother's and I called it the big black wheel. You put the 4" rubber/plastic wheel on something like a winder that I recall was light blue and then you would release the wheel and it would spin off and travel in a line until it hit something, like a wall and bounce offf. I am REALLY interested in finding this toy! Thanks kathlene35@yahoo.com
I'm looking for a plush bug(i think)he had a LED nose that chittered when you passed you hand in front of it. It also had iridescent wings. Ran on a 9v battery from the late 80s or early 90s. Purple. Not a Care Bear, not a Wuzzle, not a Popple. Would love to know what it is and maybe find one again. The one we have still works but he has been loved almost into pieces. Thanks, jbutlar@yahoo.com
i had a duck stuffed anilmal from the 80's. it was big and yellow. it had big black eyes. just two orange feet. so a head and feet. i cant seem to find who it was made from. any body know?
I was born in 1988 and we have a picture of me a few months old with a plush grey elephant. He played music and rocked his head from side to side. Anyone with information on the name or manufacturer of the toy please contact me at theolsons.christie@gmail.com.
Stephanie R: The monster/alien bath toy you're look is a Loch Nerf Monster. Google that name, and the first thing that comes up is a 1983 Parker Brothers catalog on ParryGamePreserve.com. If you look through the images of that catalog, you'll find the only picture of it on the 'Net (as far as I know).
Dying to know if anyone remembers this: it was a stuffed cat toy that was bandaged up, arm in a sling, came with a pretend syringe for "meds," stuff like that. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Anybody? jsp49@pitt.edu
I am looking for a toy that my children had when they were little. Pretty sure it is from the 80's. It is a red toy phone with 3 or 4 shape buttons on it. The phone hooked up to the tv and was interactive. There was a talking computer that liked hats and one of the learning games you could play on it was about hatching baby turtles. If someone knows the name of this toy, can you please let me know!!!! It's driving us nuts!!! Thanks
hi everyone...im looking for a toy i had when i was little, late 80s/early 90s...it was a big red mushroom house with little mushroom people....you opened the mushroom and it was there house? cant seem to find a pic on the net...thankyou :)
The girl in the blue dress with brown hair is from Lady Love Locks. Her name is Maiden Fair Hair.
On September 6, 2007 a person Named Victoria asked about a toy line with a mushroom cap type glow in the dark charging element that went inside vehicles and as long as the charging element's glow was maintained the vehicles moved or did other actions. I found her comment looking for the exact same toy line myself. I am pleased to say that her search reinvigorated mine and through such I actually found the line. I wanted to share even tho the inquiry is now 6 years old because i didn't see any responses at all. It's called "reactors" and some information on it is here "http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0964/". If Victoria never ever sees this i still wanted to say thanks because all i remembered was the charge element, a belt clip thingy and maybe a car. if it wasn't for her i doubt i would have eventually found it, so thanks
Looking for a rubber, flesh-toned alien-looking doll that I had in the 1980s. It had a large forehead, small red eyes, long skinny arms, legs and fingers. It had a small sunken chest and ponch-type belly. Cannot find it anywhere. It was not a Troll doll and am quite sure it is not a Moon Goon. Can anyone remember this doll?
Mid 80's hand size(kids)furry monsters that had a hard plastic base as their feet/body (which you could barley see 'coz they were so fluffy) with wheels on the bottom. You pushed them along and their furry backs wiggled, tail went up and down jaws bit and made a crunchy sound? After the He-Man/Transformers explosion, around the time of Visionaries/Rock Lords figures were around. Please help. ...A real wee ugly 4 legged animal type monster, there was different ones, I had at least two, If you held them by the fur and pushed them they didn't work.
I am looking for a toy from the 80s/90s. It was a set of dolls boys & girls (like polly pocket but not) you could take their plastic hair off, buy little houses, swimming pool, cars etc. I vividly remember one of the yellow cars could be changed in to an ice cream van. I have tried for years to remember these but never had any luck x
hi everyone! in case anyone else might someday look for the same barbie set with (all pink ) a travel soap in case , collapsible cup , mini toothbrush , folding brush and comb , and curlers i found out it was called ( barbie ) SLUMBER SET so u can search for it ...good luck everybody! :)
hi again! in case anyone else might someday look for the same white plastic ' locking ' jewelry box that came with a pink key , plastic ' pearl ' bracelet , plastic nail polish bottle and squeezable ' perfume ' bottle, i thought it was a jewelry box but it was called the FISHER PRICE DRESS UP VANITY so u can search for it ...good luck! :)
Still looking over all of them, however to the Robot dinosaur looking thing with the wheel in it's chest. That would be a Starrio. (I believe I'm spelling it right). The other observation I made was to the woman holding up 3 neon colored women. They're C.U.T.I.E.S. They were the girls equivelant to M.U.S.S.E.L.S for boys.
When I was a lad, I had this big red dragon/triceratops-like robot. Its eyes lit up, it walked, its big attatchable wings flapped, it made roaring noises, its head and tail moved. You could attatch a tank-like thing onto its back, with had moving missiles either side of that, and it came with a "human" robot, who you could half at the waist and sit upon either the tank or the dragon. It was freakig awesome and its bothered me for years. Spent numerous hours over the years trying to find it online but no no avail! ANYBODY have any ideas?! The human robot was tall, had a falcon-like hemet. He could walk by himself, but could be detatched at the waist to fit on the wee tank. The tank could also move by itself, but could attatch onto the dragons back. The dragon itself was a pretty big toy...probably around 15 inches in length. But yeah definitely not a worldwide brand such as star wars or transformers, nobody else had it around where I lived so i'm thinking it may have been some kinda import (I live in Scotland)
Hi All, looking for a toy I had as a kid in the mid 80s. It was a police car that had a least 2 yellow disc/gears/cogs that went in the trunk area. Changing these discs changed the pattern of the way the police car drove. I'm sure my memory is fuzzy and some of those details are wrong, but that is all I can remember. It is bugging me that I can't find it now. I've tried searching Google, but must not be using the correct search terms.
@Cliff from Wynantskill, NY: Oh my gosh I just got lucky and found it. It is by Mattel and it is called huggybuddy. Cheers!
Im 28 now and had a doll when I was really young. I had her for about 20 years and then she got misplaced. I thought she was a holly hobbie doll but I cant find one that looks like the one I had. She had a blue pilgrom dress and I swore she had light blue hair. I think she had beaded eyes cause there were holes left from where my mom washed her and they fell out. Does anyone have any Idea what Im talking about? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi..hoping someone can help me with a name of a toy I can't seem to find...all I remember is that it was a small little plastic gift box with bow which was also the handle and when you flipped the handle a little kitty was inside peeking out. I thought it might have been a Sweet Secret but I dont see it when i look up the Sweet Secret dolls. Thanks!
Hi, this female doll in the pictuere is called Lady Lovely Locks. I still have a few of them and played with them as a kid. I used to clip the colored hair extenstions in my own hair.
What game had the tag line "I'm the sole survivor"? I think it had marbles. Thanks
I hope someone answers this soon, I have an essay to do about my favorite object. This particular object has the face of a cute dog, with a body of a human wearing blue pajamas, and he has paws as his hands.
I am trying to remember the name of this yellow plastic kitten that you would hide and it would meow until you found it. It was a hide and seek type toy. Anyone remember this?
A strawberry and other assorted fruits and vegs. You could create all kinds of different expressions by using the velcro lips, eyes, nose. I guess kind of like a plush mr. Potato head but using Velcro and plush fruit and veggie shaped figures.
Hello, does anyone remember a toyline that was possibly banned due to poor taste... it was a series of 2 inch figurines of children who got horrific injuries. One that stands out in my memory was a kid on a skateboard that had crashed into a car door, the door now wrapped around his body showing his impression, kind of like in a loony tunes cartoon. They were around in the mid to late 80s. They were pretty funny, but parents hated them.
Can anyone remeber what was the name of an 80's cook toy... That was like a frying pan and it works with ice? Then the plastic food changes color with the cold water?
Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get the game Build A Better Burger. I have been looking everywhere for it! If you know someone or somewhere I can get it please e mail me @Iheavenlyflower@ol.com. Thanks!!
Hello, I am looking for a 1980s ballerina toy in a purple tootoo costume, that was electronic and when you turn it on the ballerina would spin around on a circular base and her legs and arms would bend into ballet positions. It twirled and spined on a stand that was shaped like a circle stage. You would stand the doll into some type of grove with her feet and either turn or press a button that would allow her to twirl on the stage. The doll could also be removed from her stand for play. She looked similar to a barbie doll, but was not a barbie. The color scheme was purple/lavender.
Looking for the name of a pair of black plastic sun glasses that had an red LED light in the center of the lenses. It was battery operated by a button on a cord attached to the frame. Thanks!
Donna M - April 01, 2013 - What game had the tag line "I'm the sole survivor"? I think it had marbles. Thanks I believe the game is "Stay Alive"
Kevin - Zany Zappers! Check this out at the 38 second mark for the commercial.
Whoops, I didn't realize the no-links policy. In any event, just go to youtube and type in Zany Zappers. The first video that comes up, titled "1980 Commercials: WHT, San Georgio, Zappers," is what you want at the 38 second make.
"Mark," not "make." I'm making a great first impression, eh? ;) Oh, for an edit feature...
Thanks Rom! I knew I wasn't just dreaming it!
Hi! I am looking for the names of these small dolls from the 80s. Similar to today's Polly pockets, they were plastic dolls with plastic clothes. All I remember are the round plastic skirts I could slide up their legs. And I know they are not dolly pops. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hey Dave the slave the toy you were talking about that had the skeleton on the inside and the tubes and such was called D'Compose it was an Inhumanoid action figure, also Celeste thank you so much for identifying Redlen I used to have one when I was a kid and couldnt remember the name of it for the life of me I found one on Ebay though and am going to get it lol

Hi! It's not so much a toy but a very cute/cool phone that I got when I was maybe 12 years old...back in the 80's. It was beige plastic novelty phone, on the left hand side was the receiver and on the right was sort of like a diary that you could close and lock with a key (the key had a heart on it). Inside this diary part of the phone, you could put wallet size pictures to identify your top 10 saved numbers. I there was even a little notepad and pen inside but I can't fully remember. I think my parents may have bought it at Zellers or Kmart. I have been trying to find it online for quite some time but have been unsuccessful. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. Does anyone remember this? As a teenage girl, I thought it was the coolest thing!!
When i was a kid i had this electronic toy. it was orange and about the size of a binder. it came with many laminated sheeds that you would slide inside. obviously it would read the code and then know what slide it was and you could push on the buttons. it was used to help kids learn shapes and colours. It was mickey Mouse's voice.. PLEASE help, this is driving my sisters and i crazy!
Hi I'm new here, I'm a little young so this may be out if place. You see I was born in 1997 and when I was little I got very sick with a stomach virus, so the story has been told to me, while I was sick and my mother wasn't looking, I pulled a collectable rabbit off of a nearby shelf. As it seemed to make me feel better my mother decided not to take it away. I took that rabbit everywhere with me until the second grade when I accidentally left it on the school bus. As I remember it as being gray and tagged. I've been told it was white and fluffy, it had long floppy ears, it sat upright and when you squeezed it's left hand it sang a little prayer. I've been looking for one like it for years to know avail. Does anyone recognize it? If so please email me what you know at fullocolor@yahoo.com thank you
I'm looking for a Barbie-size doll from the early 90s, or maybe even the late 80s. It was built like a barbie, but it was plastic instead of vinal. At least the ones I saw that my little sister and my friend had were really fair complection dolls with platinum blond hair that smelled really good and that was curled at the bottom to where it turned outward. I can remember it coming with rollers, a little play hair dryer, a cute little perfume bottle, combs and brushes and all sorts of other things. The one my sister had was dressed in little white capree pants with a white shirt, a mostly red plaid skirt with a red leather-like jacket and red somewhat sneaker type shoes. If anyone can find any information at all, pleas email me at sarahgoforth@windstream.net I thought it may have been the Hot Looks dolls, but it isn't them.
Hi, I'm sorry if someone already asked about this but I read through as many comments as I could and didn't find anything. When I was little (probably this was in about 81 or so), a salesman came to our house and sold us an educational bookset and light up pen thing. In the books you chose an answer and pressed the tip of the pen onto a metal contact and the pen lit up if it was the right answer. I want to say it was called Mr. Light or something like that but I'm really not sure, and the internet seems not to have any information on this. I remember it was a boxed set. Does anyone know anything about this? It's driving me crazy. :)
Hi. I used to have these dolls, late 80s early 90s, maybe 4 - 6" tall. They were solid plastic but had a face and clothes on either side and several layers were reversible, i.e. the hair and part of the dress so you can mix and match. Does anyone know what these are called???
Hey, I'm trying to figure out the name of a toy I had back when I was a kid. It was a flexible latex frisbee with monsters on them. One was a mummy with some of it's bones revealed, don't remember the others but I believe there were 3 different ones in total
Okay, if anyone can even give me a guess as to what toy I'm thinking of, I will be so happy! I used to play this game in the late 90's early 2000's. It was a long red game that you set on your lap and it had a handle at the top for easy carrying , I guess. It hooked to your tv. It took cartridges on the right side I believe. It had a drawing pad on it with a pen (nothing showed up on the pad when you drew, it only showed up on the tv, that's how you moved your cursor around and drew on the drawing games) I believe it must have had some sort of keys/buttons on it too because it was about 2 feet long and the drawing pad didn't take up the whole thing. I so want to know what it was called, I've searched and searched. Someone please help!!!!
Looking if anyone knows of a toy i had in the 80's. It was a plush unicorn toy. The front legs of the unicorn had moveable legs that could clip on to things (like metal clips inside). The toy had multicolor hair at the top and on the tail. otherwise white with a yellow horn. The toy was thrown out by accident and I need help replacing him!
Myriam: was the "pen" green with a red cape, and glowing red eyes by chance?? I'm looking for a name too.
to amianda... sorry
A shot in the dark, but does someone knnow the name of the dolls they made in the late 80's similar to Spectra dolls, but they weren't. They has metallic jointed bodies, the one I had was gold, another one had clear plastic pale blue skin with silver sparkles. They also has rhinestone eyes that made them some what creepy looking. been searching for ever for the name
Hi looking for a favourite childhood toy. I was given a soft toy rabbit when i was born in 1989 however after 24 yeats it is now one stitch away from falling to pieces.

Hi! What a fantastic posting place this is! i am looking for a toy that i had in the early 80s - it was a tray - with interchangeable flat plastic pieces wit monster parts on them. you could choose a top, middle section, and the tray would hold them together, and then you could put a piece of paper over it all, and color on top of it with a crayon, and you could create your own monster variations. i LOVED that thing when I was young! no idea how to find it though
HydraPooch, Yes I had the same toy, but do not know what it was called. You colored over the top of these plastic plates with raised images on them and would create an image of the monster you had put together. Fun stuff!
Looking for the name of an electronic toothbrush that had a bear on it. You pushed a yellow button an when you pushed it, it said something like this..."My name is fuzzy bear. As you can see I'm covered with hair. I brush my hair with all my might, I brush my teeth to keep them white. You should brush at least twice a day. Up-and-down so the food goes away. If you listen to me and do it right, your teeth will be beautifully bright! And that's the bear facts!" Yes I have it memorized...was somewhere around 1984 or 1985....I would push that button over and over and it is forever burned into my memory... Thanks.
Jeremy i found it!!! It's called the mighty men and monster maker! http://geekdad.com/2013/09/geekdad-retro-toy-mighty-men-monster-maker/ hahahahahaha seriously, it's been 26 years since I've seen it! oh happy day!
Can anyone help me?? I'm trying to find a rag doll I had as a child. I have very little information, my mum can't remember who bought her for me or any idea of where she was from or make. I got her sometime between 1993 and 1996. She had blonde wool hair and her outfit was a mix of dark blue, yellow and white. I distinctly remember part of her outfit being dark blue and white striped, I think it was her apron. She also had a hat which was same colours but can't remember pattern. With dark blue shoes (I think). Does anybody recognise this description?? Or could even just give me some makes that night possibly have made her? Thanks for any help
I'm trying to figure out the name of this toy set. Basically it was a bunch of "round" people that had no arms or legs. Each ball had a face on it and they had houses you could buy. The houses had trap doors, and were connected by plastic slides. They stacked vertically I believe. The little round people had pants that they could sit in to give them stability and I believe they had hats too. But they could only roll thru the houses with the outfits off.
Also want to add they are not weebles or little people. They literally are balls with faces on it. Completely round except for the small face on the front.
Nerfuls!
Ok so there was a toy my cousin and I played with ALL the time as kids and nobody remembers it but us! It was like a teapot that opened up and there were two or three critter "caretakers" (like a raccoon and such) and a bunch of human babies they watched over! I think there was a dog too..? The babies either had a blue or pink diaper on and they all had little bottles and cradles that looked like leaves and tree branches. This toy must've been from the early 90's but I'm not sure! I would love to finally figure out what it is and maybe even see a picture of it!! Help please!
In 1982 I received a stuffed dog. He was yellow and had long blue ears, a round red nose, and colored paws. He had a shirt that said Lolli-pup. I can't find any information on any pictures on him. Years ago, I saw a young girl with one. Does anyone else still own it? I still have mine and his place is still on the bed. LOL
Just spent a few minutes on GIS. Trying to find this toy I had in the late 80s. It was a larger battery powered truck (blue I believe) it floated on water and had a little like impeller and jet spout to "drive" across the water. Also in the bed of it was a little yellow submersible. The whole thing was about 10".
Hi everyone! I know this is a long shot as I don't have a picture, but can anyone identify this you? It is from the late 80s possibly early 90s. It was a headset with different cartridges you could choose (themes like space or dinosaurs). The headset had a robotic like voice that would walk you through a choose you're own adventure type thing. I particularly remember with the dinosaurs it started off saying "going back, back, back in time" Thanks for any help!
I am looking for a plastic bear house, there was also a school available. It had small character bears and furniture, all made of plastic, and folded into a suitcase/carry case. Characters consister of a father, mother, son, daughter. Have no idea what this was called but been looking for years. Also looking for a series of toys, they were figures but the heads came off, each head was a diff fruit, lemon, orange, apple, grapes etc. And last but not least a figurine toy, miniatures rolled along on a silver ball underneath. Any advice or feedback would be hugely appreciated

I am trying to remember a stuffed animal I had as a child, from the late 80's, early 90's. It reminded me of a knock off of an ewok, wearing a green cloak, and eyes that were possibly yellow and green that lit up. It was around the same time frame as goo worms. Can anyone help me?
Sorry, glo worms*
KEVIN: RE: BALLERINA DOLL: IT WAS A TOMY DREAM DANCER DOLL :)
@SUSAN H. @TESS80...Sorry I thought Kevin was asking about the doll...but the name is "Tomy Dream Dancer Doll" There is the Dream Dancer Ballerina by Tomy and the other one with leg warmers and a little sweater :)
Trying remember a toy from either the 70's or 80's. It was a flat rectangle see thru plastic with red liquid in it. You would flip it and heavier blue globs would drip down through different "channels" . I know its before 1982.
My daughter-in-law is searching for a stuffed animal she had as a little girl and loved it. It should be from either the late 80's or some time in the 90's. It is a red rhinoceros with a rainbow dart board for a belly, and it came with little oval shaped cloth darts. It's horn was also rainbow colored. Any one? Please!
Hello! I am looking for a very hard to find doll from the mid-80's. I have searched for her for some time now but there is no trace that she ever existed! Please, any info. on her is welcomed! The one I had was about 18 inches tall, with a toddler-like body, round child-like face. She had a pink bathing suit,brown chin length hair with bangs that changed to pink when wet with cold water. The hair texture was thick and I remember that it had a very particular smell, not bad but strange. My sister had one with light blonde hair that turned blue when wet, blue bathing suit or bikini. That one had no bangs and her hair was slightly longer than the one I had. The dolls were not Lil'Miss Makeup or Hollywoods. I think there was also one whose hair turned green. Help! This is such a mystery!!!!!!
I'm starting to think I imagined it. This early 80s toy was a blanket or cloth (red/blue I think) that had snaps all over it, and depending on which snaps you used, it would become a different shape. Anybody?

I'm looking for a toy I had in the 80s..it was a little rubber/plastic glow in the dark ghost (orange iirc) with a shamrock on its lower part by the foot. There was a whole collection of these I think (think my little pony for boys) I seem to remember a comic strip on the packaging that said they lived in shoes? I saw one on ebay about 10 years ago but for the life of me can't remember what they're called. Anyone know?

Hi all!! There is a toy I was trying to find..from the 80's I believe..its a stuffed animal cat with a long tail..that you could add more pieces to it to make it longer..the tail pieces would velcro together..you could make it so long as to wear it like a boa..I cannot think of the name of it..would anyone happen to know? if so..message me? christenpta@yahoo.com thanks and God Bless!
Christen, are you thinking about furrever friends? Also, can anyone help me out...I remember having a couple of playsets which were a bit like polly pocket but I'm certain they weren't actual polly pocket. The dolls were really small (finger nail size) and magnetic. I had a pink vw beetle which converted into an ice cream parlour for the dolls and also something else which made up a café but that had a plastic covered magnetic floor smaller than a4 paper and the dolls would then be held in place. I don't think it was precious places either. The dolls were really tiny solid figurines, I don't think they had moveable parts. I want to say poppets but nothing shows up for them. They were around mid 80s
I'm looking for a Teddy bear I had in the 80's that nobody has been able to help me with, or even know what I'm talking about. it's hard to know the size since I was so little when I had it, but it looked like a regular Teddy bear, but his brown "fur" would unzip & come off and underneath he was wearing blue pajamas, and on one leg he had a bandage, and when you undid the Velcro it said "Booboo" under the bandage. Any help with info on this bear would be much appreciated. Thank you!
I remember this little thing that was sold at Wal Mart at Halloween. It was like a $1 - $2 toy. It was a little pumpkin spinner thing where you would repeatedly push a button and a pumpkin would spin...and then if it got fast enough...it would open up and reveal a witch inside. You would hold the toy like a cigarette between your index and middle fingers...and keep pushing a button (like you would on a spinning top) with your thumb. The pumpkin was in slices and attached by rubber bands...and when the centripetal force was great enough from your spinning it...the thing would open to reveal the witch inside. I nagged my parents for this cheap little halloween toy a few years in a row...and I used to have 2 or 3 of these things...and then other kids stole mine and they disappeared from store shelves. I guess I'm not asking the brand name of this thing so much as I guess I'm asking for what you would call it. It wasn't a top and it wasn't a gyroscope type thing either. Since it was a cheap $1 "Made in China" type no name toy...I probably couldn't search it on the internet by the brand anyway. If anyone could just tell me what you would call something like that...then maybe I could find one someday. Or if anyone has any ideas on where to look, that would be appreciated too. I already looked in the obvious places like ebay....no luck. Thanks for reading!
im looking for a stuffed mouse from the late 80s early 90s i had when i was a kid it had a long tail a red plastic nose it talked when you pushed it foot or stomach i cant remember which i think it was called chatters.
I have been trying to remember a toy my sister and inhad when we were younger. It was a movie projector that we could set on the floor and watch cartoons projected onto the wall. It is not the FisherPricemovie viewer, nor is it the Give a Show projector, also not the fisher Price movie theater. The closest I have been able to find is the viewmaster projector. The one I had however plays movies instead of the pictures but it looks very similar to the viewmaster one. The 2 movies I remember watching on it were Mickey's trailer and the Brave Little Tailor, also a mickey short. Anyone have any idea what movie projector I am talking about?
Are you interested in buying coin operated horses or spring rocking horses??? They are sold on Ebay. Most spring horses are made by Blazon, Wonder, Flexible Flyer, and Radio Flyer. Feel free to buy as many as you like. Good luck!!! :) Ebay account required.
I'm looking for a toy that Kev was asking about further up in 2009, it was a space station type toy with connecting clear plastic tubes. There were 2 pumps attached and there were little ships with little men inside, there was a large plastic clear dome, you pushed down the pump and the ships would fly around the tubes, you had to try and make the ships jump a gap under the dome, if you didn't go fast enough the ships would fall out the bottom of the dome, I'm from the UK and can anyone remember the name of this toy? I've found no mention or pictures of this toy anywhere on the internet yet.

I'm looking for something that I had in the mid 80s. They were little plastic people, maybe 2 inches high, brightly coloured and with neon plastic hair. You could buy different sets of items, I'm sure there was a beach set that had a parasol, everything was neon, but slightly more pink than any other colour. There were trees and flowers and it all needed to be assembled yourself. It was bought in Ibiza.
Does anyone remember an educational toy from the 80s that was like a tablet, it was sortof beige in color, you slid these laminated cards onto the top of it, and inserted a white disc into the side (sort of like a record)? Then you could press the pictures on the card and it would play the sounds of those pictures. I think it was made by mattel. Not sure though.
Thanks!
looking for possibly 8o's toy,I think Nuckelodean, you hung like a light plastic sheet over door,during night,you would get near plastic sheet similar to an xray,and I think some kind of light or flash you used, would leave imprint,anyone know if still available,or where,Thanks
My daughter and I are trying to remember the name of a toy from the mid eighties. It was a big pencil that has red string come out of the tip. You free pictures with the string on a plastic board with all these little pegs on it to hold the string in place. When you were done you could wind the string back into the pencil.
Hey, everybody! Hopefully the fourth time{and first in quite a few years} will be the charm. I'm looking for more info on these Nerf-like dolls from the late '80s. One other commenter{named Maria, and last posted 3/28/11} is also aware of these. I know for a fact that LJN made a Nightmare on Elm Street one{Google search 'freddy krueger squish 'em' to see what he looks like}. I had an 'insane dentist character'{similar to a younger version of Mattel's Mad Scientist}, and recall a few others being available. My "burning questions"{pardon the Krueger-related pun} are: A. Did only LJN make these, or did other companies have knock-off versions? B. How long were they on the market? C. How many total are in the series? D. Does Squish 'Ems refer to any type of these, or only LJN's? Any and all assistance is much appreciated, and I can also be reached via email{ rowlfkramden@gmail.com}. P.S.-For those curious, my other postings occurred on 11/27/10, 1/10/11, and 4/06/11.
Hey guys .. I really hope someone can help me this has been on my mind for days It's either a late 80s or early 90s animal I believe made for the bathtub .. It's belly area felt like it had little soft beads or something in it and the arms legs and head were soft smooth material .. A regular sized animal mine was a blue cat with a yellow belly and a goldfish drawn on its belly.. I'm thinking they may have all been cats and they made about 4 or 5 different colors ? Red , blue ... I'm not sure the other colors but my grampa got me one when I was little and I kept it with me all the time he's been gone along time and I would pay good money for another one !! Thanks guys please help
Hi guys, I'm looking for an 80's toy. It was a bracelet or necklace or ring that came with like 3 tiny 1 inch (maybe smaller) plastic dolls. It had a little hole in it's back so you could snap them onto the jewelry and wear it. Not Charmkins or Polly Pocket. There was a limited number of clothing designs that came on them, but they had several outfits of the same kind only in different colors. Like a dress or specifically one doll had a little pair of overalls on. Then, their hair were similar, but also came in different colors. Pigtails, ponytails and straight down. I'm sure I've managed to be very confusing, but if anyone knows the name of these I would be eternally grateful!
Hi, I'm trying to identify identify this toy from the early 80s. If I remember right there was more than one version - different characters. I believe there were TV commercials for it. The specific one I remember was about 8" tall, it had a purple circular body with wide yellow feet. The top of the circular body had a hinge which created a "mouth" you could put a piece of paper in. Then you hit the head and it made a loud pop sound. There were stickers on the body which made it loosely resemble Frankenstein. There was also a bullseye sticker at the top. I think these were marketed toward boys and the other figures had a monster theme. I thought they were called Monster Poppers but I can't turn up anything under that name or any others I can think of. I've been looking for several years and any help would be much appreciated!
Hi I am trying to find something from my childhood, it was like a small series of quiz boxes and there was a black/grey wand with it with a circular nib, you used it to mark the answer you thought was correct and it went red if incorrect and green if correct Does anyone know what I am talking about?thanks
I am looking for the name of a set of cheap robot toys that had interchangeable parts. They were about an inch and a half when put together. They came in various solid colors but I remember the pale yellow most. Their pelvis piece had a slot through it that would allow it to connect to other pieces. I always got them from the ice cream man for 25 cents. Thanx.
Looking for the a toy from the late 70's to mid 80s. It was a spirograph type game made from thick plastic that was small enough to hold in your hand. (Mine was blue. Don't know if it came in different colors?) It had interchangeable yellow cartridges of different shapes (kept in a slot on the back) that your would put into the holder, then trace the design on a small piece of paper. You would keep changing out the cartridges and tracing until you got the design you wanted. THANKS!
I'm thinking this doll came out in the mid/late 70's and have no idea if it made it into the 80's, but thought I would ask!! It was a doll that if you turned her arm (up or down) her facial expression changed.
Looking for a doll, I do not think it is popples. Time period: Late 80's/Early 90's Type: Soft doll, a nylon mesh type of fabric- Basically, this was a zipper pouch you wore on your wrist, and this doll would "smush" or "squish" up and fit into it, I just can not think of the name!! Any idea? I had them when I was kid (probably 90/91)...... it was not popples as this was an actual doll, not a creature- and such.
Help! This is driving me crackers! I had a toy in the 80's. I'm pretty sure it was orange. It had a wipe off board and a black 'screen' You slid yellow cards into the side, the cut outs on the card created something in the black 'screen' area. Think it was either words or small images. You could trace through the bottom half of the card like a stencil onto the white board. When you opened it there were plastic letters inside that also fit into the spaces on the yellow cards. It was a cross between Playskools learning desk and the speak and spell. Any help please it's driving me insane!
I am trying to remember the name of a toy from the early to mid 1980's. I do know it had to be ordered off TV. It was basically just material with multiple snaps sewn in so that you could make different shapes. I think the materiel was a dark blue? Any help would be appreciated.
NET - was it Dial-a-design?
The Smooshee is similiar, but the one I remember- had no hard things to squish them in, like a dog house etc. Was just pouches.......... though it is possible I only ever had the pouch ones.?
@ Alicia Craig I remember that too. Wasn't it Boggle Junior? I had it, this exact one. Is that it?? http://vintagegameworld.com/images/Boggle%20Jr.%20G52.gif
I used to have a backpack, and it was made out of a neon plastic that you could lightly scratch it with anything hard and you could make a picture..and then you just peeled the top layer back and put it back and itd erase..anyone know what its called, or where I could locate one online?
I am looking for fisher price construction workers -I have the trucks-but ONLY the 3 1/2 inch tall ones
@ErinV-Its Chubbles you are looking for.
@Ann-They are called Lil' Me dolls.
was wondering if anyone could help me find out the name of a doll i had as a child. i was born '85 so would have had it from age 1 onwards. it was a doll with a solid plastic head, with hair patterned in it. she had eyes that blinked and her hands were plastic too. her body was softish. there was a cherry print all over the body. her limbs were seperate from the body which meant they could move more freely..
Hi! I am trying to find the name or image of a plush pig I had around the mid 80's. It was light pink 'pig' color. She had velcro outfits that you could interchange, I remember a dress and red sparkly cat eye glasses.
Hello! I'm trying to find out more about this stuffed bear. It is from the 80s or early 90s. He is light brown and has a zipper on his bottom, which used to hold a voice recorder. He is not a Teddy Ruxpin doll. He had a leather covered nose and came in a big red box (if we're remembering the package correctly anyway.) I have pictures if anyone needs them. You can email me at acalebw(AT)gmail(DOT)com to see the pictures or with your answers, or post here. Thanks!
Hello. I've been searching for years on Ebsy for a plastic ice cream/snack stand I had during the Kate 80s. The food was plastic and included hot dogs, hamburgers, and ice cream. The ice cream was stackable. It was a mobile hotdog stand for kids. I loved this thing and played wit it for hours making pretend snacks for my friends. Does anyone know who made this or where I could find one? I'm pretty sure I had this @1988 or 1989.
Elaine, the Purple and Yellow light up monster plush is from Soma Toys, and I have seen him labeled as a Glo Monster. He is on Ebay (in Australia), and different one is for sale on a Japanese Toy site called Stimpy (I Believe). Soma Toys Also put out smaller figurines with similar looking Monsters. Good Luck! I hope this helps!
Louve, I doubt you will ever return here to see if anyone followed up on your question, since it's six and a half years later, but I know exactly what you're talking about. It's called Sidewinder, and it's a "Parker Brothers Fang-to-Fang, Fast-Action Game". I do hope you do see this though, and it lifts a very small weight from your soul. Cheers.
Hey Becky from 2007, I'm also trying to figure out what this toy was called. I remember a cane and a rifle. "Hi, I am wondering if anyone remembers playing with a game that was kinda like pick up stix but it had all kinds of different items for the stix. I don't remember all of the items but I do remember there being crutches in there. I love that game and I cannot remember what it was called."
Thanks to Becky's crutch and my rifle & cane, I found the answer: Jack Straws.
In the 80's I had a push a long toy that seated two dolls (maybe tiny tears) it spun around as you pushed it. I think it played a tune and had a sun umbrella on top. It had one curved handle that you held to push it along. Anyone any ideas? It's driving me crazy, I can't find it anywhere!
In the early 80s I had a game where you wore plastic glasses hat had plastic elephant ears and a long plastic tube nose. You used the tube nose to push little plastic peanuts. Does anyone remember the name of this game?
I used to have a toy when I was a kid, sometime in the 90s. There were two that I had, one shaped like a bear and a the other was a cat. They were made of a pink (glittered?) plastic frame that snapped together, front and back. Between the frame pieces, you put colored gemss, like a big purple gem in the bear's tummy, and a heart shaped gem in each of the cat's ears, so that when you snapped the other half of the frame together, the animal was "filled in" and made up of all the different gems. They looked the same on front and back but the gems were not flat on both sides, just like real cut gemstones. I've spent years searching for these toys! Any help would be amazing! Sunbearking @ gmail . com
And as I suspected, as soon as I posted a comment admitting defeat, I found them. They're Treasure Rocks, in case anyone was curious!
I sure hope I can get pointed in the right direction for 2 particular toys! One: It was a flying craft, orange in color. Measured maybe a little less than a foot long. It had 2 cockpits, with an air bladder in between. Squeezing the bladder would fire missles. 2: It was a 3 wheeled vehicle. Looked like a heavy-duty, futuristic military transport. On the back, there's a switch that activates the wind-up gears inside. The vehicle unfolds, with twin guns on each side, and the front wheel splits open to act as a base. You had to manually open the back hatch, which contained a missle. Had a couple, very tiny, non-posable figures that sat inside. Any help is appreciated!
Trying to remember the name of battery operated kids computer pad that had interchangeable two sided panels with modules early 80's. I remember one w/farm animals and zoo animals & when animal pressed made sound. It was white and the front opened to place the panel that fit in specific holes. Probably 8x14 in size.
This toy was a small police officer action figure whose body fell apart when a string was pulled. At first I thought it was a 90s toy but am expanding my search.
hey, becky from 2009. i am looking for the same talking headset book-toy thing. my sister and i still say: 'would you like me to change my voice? ... to sound like this?' the weird robot narrator also said things like: 'are you ready to go back in time? have you said goodbye to your friends? noooooooo problem. we'll be back before they even know you're gone. here we go -- back, back, back in time -- scccchhhwwwwwiiiiish.' (that was the sound of us going back in time.) anyway. we had the dinosaur cartridge. i would love to know what it was called. it's been driving me nuts for at least the past 10 years. heh. thanks.
To Maria N - February 05, 2014: I found your toy: They're called Undercover Bears. There were four of them. It sounds like you have Tucker. The others are Buster, Betty, and BB.
A little more info: They were made in 1985 by TOMY.
Long shot here but it's driving me mad - I had a toy when I was young (not sure if it was an 80s toy or early 90s) and I can't find it anywhere or a name or anything, here is the description: a brown camouflage 'tank' with guns on top and sides, these were plastic and rotated, it could also 'lift up' to reveals sort of ramps underneath as if smaller vehicles could drive under/through it. It had a metal piece which could be fired and looked like a long rectangle with a room with windows at the end, almost looked like a head. It wasn't very big (just smaller than a dvd case?) and it's not the gi joe hiss tanks as far as I am aware (googled this extensively!) Any and all help is much appreciated!
I'm having issues looking for a couple of toys, I don't know what year they are from because they were passed down to me. One was a small hand-held hard plastic box-like object that opened. It had a dolls body imprinted into a lower section of the box and you put squares of cloth onto the body and pushed down the top and it made it look like the doll had clothes on. Another one was a Powerpuff girls toy that was small (around palm size) and it opened up into scenes from the series (one was a lab and one was a house) and it had tiny figurines that went in it.
Can anyone tell me about a doll with light pink pigtail braids, rainbow arms and legs and a pink and white dress. If anyone knows what type of doll this might be let me know.
I am looking for a doll that belonged to my sister when she was a little girl. I want to surprise her for her birthday. The doll had a big head made out of vinyl I think. Its body was smaller and was soft. The hands and feet of the doll were made out of vinyl as well. The doll my sister had, had short black synthetic hair (she may have cut it), giant painted on eyes,jelly bean shaped nose and a thin smile. the doll had a light beige skin tone. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Zeke and Snake Blood Drinker (see their post from 2007 and 2008). The green guy you could pull apart and stick back together again which had a slime volcano was called Manglor Mountain. If I remember correctly, you could pump it up and the slime and Manglord (the green dude) would rise to the top from inside the volcano (never worked for me when using the plastic cage as well, cause it was too heavy for pump mechanism).
Hi, I have a toy that I don't recognize? Its a purple, I guess plum-ish color monster with tan horns, a peach colored muzzle silvery metallic hands with yellow/orange claws, big light blue nose, blue hair, and long fangs with blood on the tips of them. He has big eyes (oddly shaped) that were brown. He has a large zipper under him that I assume held a batteries and a sound box of some kind. He was made by Cuddle Wit in 1986. Its obvious that he was a rip off of My Pet Monster, but, did he have a name? Did he make noise?
I am searching for a pink ride-on toy tennis shoe. It was made by the Plastic Toy Novelty Corp min Brooklyn, New York. Any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to find the name of a toy from the mid to late 80's. It was a stuffed animal type thing that when you flipped back a flap on it's paws it had claws. There were different animals I believe. Any input would be appreciated.
Trying to find a girls toy from around 1987-91. It was a very tiny 2" doll (not a baby doll) with really long white hair 6-8" that was made of threads. I think she had an all cloth body and a plastic/vinyl face. She came in her own little portable dollhouse which was also white with some pink parts and had a heart shaped handle on the top. She may have also come with a brush and little mirror but not sure.
the small 2" figures Aaron is refering to are Arco - other world figures: http://www.littleweirdos.net/2013/08/the-other-world-80s-fantasy-toy-gold.html
hi trying to remember a toy i had one year for christmas, it as on a stand and had tiny little yello balls in the screen you used a tube with air in to suck the balls in to create a pattern/picture- does anyone recall something similar? thanks in advance
Hello, I am trying to find a toy I had when I was younger. It had a green helmet with red eyes, green pants that became black close to the feet, also it had the number 714 on its soulder.
An educational pre-school toy from 1987-89. Membrane buttons and interchangeable membrane panels for different subjects. Woman's voice would say, "Begin Again" if you had the wrong answer.
I am trying to locate a toy I had in the late 80's. It was a cat with spiky bright yellow hair, it had sunglasses, and a comb and I think it may of also had a guitar. It was a soft toy.
Im looking for a toy. It looked like a small refrigerator but you could open it and it would transform into an ice cream parlor. There were a few toys in this line. I think I might have had a car that transformed too
Hi everyone I am looking for what is either a stuffed dinosaur or a stuffed alien from the 80s or 90s. Mine was bright pink with a star on the top of her head on the antenna and a star on the tail. Although I know that there were others of bright colors too. my sister had a purple one and my brother had a bright green one that had a baseball cap. I know that they also wore a pair of white underwear that had stars and shapes on them. I am hoping someone knows the name of this stuffed toy.
Emily, The purple boutique with the revolving door was my favorite toy. I have been searching for it too, but cannot remember it's name.
To add to the search.. The purple boutique and others in it's family, the buildings were collapsible. I remember it was hard to get all the little bits (rank/hangers/clothes/cashier's stand/doll/clothes) back into the building and close the sides. There was also a ranch version with white fences.
I am trying to find the name of a VHS game I used to play as a toddler in the late 80s/90s. The game came with a white, plastic phone with primary colored buttons. Throughout the game/VHS, an animated or puppet (can't remember) character would ask you to call in and press a button on your phone corresponding to the correct image on the screen. I remember some of the questions being "what color were the eggs" or "what animal was hiding in the barn" and you would select a colored button on your phone corresponding to the answer on the screen. Not being able to find it is just eating at me.
I'm trying to find the name of a toy I used to own. It's most likely from the late '80's. It's a plush monster like creature in bright neon colors, round with I believe just legs?, around 6" to 10" tall and it has a tongue sticking out which makes a raspberry sound when you press it's belly. I had a yellow colored one with a purple tongue. It had different colored legs and horns.
My sister got 2 of these dolls in our local TOYS R US store in 1985. I inherited her TIZZY FIT after her death in 2007. They are called "FIT" dolls and there were a set of 5; Crying FIT (blue); Laughing FIT (pink); FIT to be Tied (purple); Tizzy FIT (peach); and Snit FIT (lime green). They were put out for HALLMARK, distributed by Lash-Tameron distributors. Neither of those companies were able to help me in any way. I am especially wanting the SNIT FIT one! I have never seen any of them on Amazon, e-Bay or anywhere else. ANY help is appreciated. I have photos of the TIZZY and the tag still attached.
I'm looking for a girls stencil printing toy my sisters and I had in the early 80s and we absolutely loved. It was a machine with a roller that you put a piece of paper, a sheet of carbon paper and one of a number of greenish plastic templates. The end result was a picture we could colour in. I have searched the net extensively but to no avail. One of the templates was a girl in a dress with a parasol, there was a long thin one of a woman singing....that's all I can remember. Has anyone ever seen this and remember what it's called, I'd love to track one down.
Beckabee, I think that's FASHION PLATES?

I am trying to find the name of a baby toy from the 1980's. It was a fabric grab toy, maybe 10" in diameter. The center was a hexagonish shape, maybe with a face. Off each edge was a padded strip of fabric in some bright solid or print that looped and then came back into the edge on the backside.

My husband was telling me a story of when he was a kid, he remembers this toy from the 80's that was green and covered in rubber. But the rubber became hard and brittle, and one day he accidentally tore the face. Underneath was a skeleton or armature and he was shocked that there was, or someone had taken the time to create a toy with a skeleton on the inside. Any hints? Leads?
We are looking for an early 80'S toy that was a farm connected to a slide rail. The animals and people slid along on a track around the board.
Alright, so I'm sitting here thinking about a one of my favorite toys from when I was a kid. I'm trying to find out what the name of the toy was and if there were any more in the series and I was wondering if anyone could help me. It would have been purchased at either K-mart, Jamesway or the Dollar store in 1983-86. It was a set. A space-jet, a car and 2 figures. They were cheaply made, at least compared to Gi Joes. The 2 figures were in space suits, one in a black suit and one in silver or gray. The arms moved at the shoulders and their legs moved at the groin allowing them to sit in the vehicles. Their heads might have swiveled right and left. They were maybe an inch shorter than a gi joe figure. The jet was silver and about the same size as a Rattler from the Gi Joes, with stubbier wings and a gun on each wing. There was a cockpit for 1 figure in the front and a co-pilot seat/gunner seat further back the jet for the other figure. It had non-movable skids for landing gear. The futuristic car was about the same size as the jet, also silver and wedge shaped. It had 2 large wheels in the back (like the Tumbler from Batman) and one hidden wheel in the middle of the front. It also had a gun on either side that were movable, able to be angled out slightly. The windshield was about 90 of the top/front of the vehicle and opened up so you could seat the 2 figures. I'm thinking the windshield for the car and maybe the jet too were made of blue seethru plastic. If anyone has a clue what this toy series is, I would appreciate the info.
Burger King (I think) gave toys in the middle of the eighties that were cartoonish hard rubber-plastic. There was a series of them, and judging from the one I remember, they were supposed to be miners. That one was blue or purple, perhaps wearing a miner light helmet. He held a boxish device that had a cone spiral pointing forward, a drill. it was one solid piece of formed rubber-plastic. Name this toy. please.
I'm trying to find two toys I had as a child in the 80's. The first was a soft bodied doll. I have looked over the internet extensively with no luck. She had hard legs, arms, and head. She was bald but had lines on her hair to simulate hair. Her eyes were blue and sort of slanted. Her mother was smiling and slightly open, perhaps she had a binky or bottle at one time, but not to my knowledge. The second is a stuffed animal in varying shades of brown. It might have been a bird of some sort. I thought it was a baby penguin, but am not sure now. It had lighter brown over all the body and darker hands and feet and a cone shaped nose. It had black circle eyes. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Try to find info on a toy I had around 1991-1995. It was a projection toy with a torch and a cassette tape you played while shining the torch at the cartridges you loaded. Pretty sure one of them was kicked mouse. Can't find anything about it anywhere! If anyone has info please email me shonamuir87@hotmail.com thanks!!
Katarra - I think what you are looking for is the Wish World Kids (1987, made by Kenner) Treats 'n Sweets Refrigerator.
Looking for the name of an 80's learning toy I had. It was like a mini light-blue computer with interchangeable cards for the screen and keyboard with tic-tac sized blue buttons. I found someone that posted the cards to it here: http://imgur.com/gallery/GYGfn The cards fit into the "screen" part and had overlay cards that fit over the keyboard depending on the game. Behind the screen was a cartridge that held the unused cards. The cartridge also flipped around for different learning modes (math and reading if I recall).
Please help! Been looking for years to figure out what this toy was. It was like a self-contained videophone with the screen attached. You'd lift the receiver and talk to a yellow teddybear. Anyone have any ideas? Please send a message to parrotchild @ hotmail .co uk
PLEASE HELP ME! For years I have been trying to remember the name of a toy I used to play with in the 80's. It was an educational toy, it was brown and had a handle. It has plastic sheets that you would put on the top and then a little record that you would put in the side that correspond with the plastic sheets. It would ask you questions and you would answer by pressing the right question on the plastic sheet. I also remember when you took off the plastic sheet it had circular pattern on it. PLEASE any help would be very appreciated! .
please help me i am trying to build a replica of the babyface spider from toy story but i cant seem to find out what dolls head it is based on, any help would be much appreciated thanks
Hello! I am looking for a toy I had as a young child (I was born in '91) but it was a second hand tub of plastic "frames" all different colours and had little round red "clips" to clip the pieces together.. Kinda like Lego/Meccano style building toy.. neither of my parents remember it and its driving me bonkers! Please help! :)
I am looking for the name of a baby doll I had as a kid. It came out in the late 80s, early 90s. It had tiny metallic sensors on certain body parts (tummy, forehead, hand, etc.). When the baby would cry, you would use one of the lotions it came with, depending on what body part was hurting. Any Ideas? Thanks!
Becky from 2009 and Sky from 2015.I've been trying to find out the name of the exact same thing for the past 8-9 years worth no luck. I too remember the space cartridge and the dinosaur cartridge but can't remember any others. I remember it had a bulky headset that completely covered your ears and a microphone that wrapped around. To this day the, "Would you like me to talk like this" as the narrator cycled through voice options still sticks with me. The really slow low voice up to the Super high pitched fast voice. Really wish I could remember what it was called. I use to listen to it and play with it for hours.
@Shonda. I have a Pepina Mouse with the bottle and pacifier that works. It's pink and I think is exactly what you've been looking for. I'm looking to sell it if you are interested.
There's this toy that I had when I was younger, and I'm trying to find it again, but I'm not sure exactly what it's called. All I know is, it's a plastic toy which was a box with several little gidget gadgets built into it, and it came with a set of keys that were different shapes and colors, and each key, when put into a hole of the same shape, would trigger one of the little gidget gadgets on the plastic box. I can tell you that the keys were a red square (or possibly a trapezoid), an orange circle, a yellow triangle, a green hexagon, and a blue oval. The respective triggers that turned were a hopping bunny (the red square/trapezoid), two bouncing cats with a squeaky toy (the orange circle), a ringing bell (the yellow triangle), clicking gears like a windup toy (The green hexagon), and what looked like a nest of bouncing chicken eggs (the blue oval). The last time I saw this toy was in the early to mid 90's when I was at my Grandma Karen and Grandpa Dick's house, as they had one of these in their playroom. But I never got the chance to ask what the name was. I really liked that toy, even though Grandma Karen and Grandpa Dick's dog, Suzy, chewed a hole in one of the keys, I think it was the green one.
I had what I think was a bull-dog stuffed toy with very short stubby arms and legs, built more like a teddy bear you prop up (It did not lie on its stomach. It was gray and he had wrinkles across his face (which was pretty flat, again like a bull-dog's). I vaguely remember it either having an indent in its stomach or a belly-button that stuck out. I can't remember which, but it inspired me to name him Belly Button.
I'm looking for a BLUE winter sled. its not the ziffy whomper, but its very close to it. its from the 80's and was a little longer and thicker, being it was hollow thick plastic sled. like a mini toboggan sled and blue. can't find one anywhere, no name, no pictures, nothing, but it was the greatest & fastest winter sled ever made!!! whomper is fast. but this one was faster!
I'm Looking for a series of Stuffed animals from the late 80's they had long arms and tails the arms ended in beanbag hands, the one I'm looking for is the orange monkey with green hair... i think his name on the box was swing Kong but i could be off... i know there was a tiger in the series my sister had it. I really wanna get another of the monkey tough, i have had mine for 27 years and it shows. He is to dear and too beat up to share with my boys now and want to get them one of their own.
I'm looking for the name of an 80s toy. It was small round and fuzzy, it came with a whistle. When you blew on the whistle it would respond back by making a beeping noise. For some reason I thought it was called a beeper finder but I can't find it. Any info would be appreciated.
BETH! I know this is 9 years late from leaving this comment: "... baby/toddler doll from the late 1980's. My then 10-year-old daughter used to laugh hysterically at the TV commercials, because they were so lame. One of the doll's sentences was, "Gongee peebee, Bombee! which means 'I love my mommy so much!'" But I just thought you should know it's Secret Talk Betsy Doll. I've been going crazy trying to figure this out for a while now. Hope you see this! -@mightybishop
Update from my post on October 29, 2014: I've found the name of the doll I have! Fisher Price doll 39286 1982
Growing up in early late 80s or early 90s, my mom gave me a plush baby cow. It had a pink diaper and a pacifier. That's all I can remember about it. Help!

holley - Long time and a lng shot but I ran across this today is it what you were talking about?aaa Krazy Car Ride-On http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/eQ0AAOSwEzxYQJbW/s-l300.jpg
At last...I've solved a long-standing mystery! This is my fifth total post{including 11/27/10, 1/10/11, 4/06/11, 6/5/14, and now},but now I've finally figured it out. It appears as if Coleco produced the characters both I and Maria{a fellow commenter, posting on 3/28/11} were trying to remember..Mash 'Ems! To answer my previous questions beyond that: There were 10 monsters total{biker, punk guitarist,that aforementioned dentist, mummy, powerlifter, military sniper, pro wrestler, two-headed skeleton, basketball player, and footballer}. Mash 'Ems released in 1987, and since Coleco originally went bankrupt in '88...they couldn't have been for sale long! The Krueger Squish 'Em was/is apparently LJN's 1989 attempt to replicate the line. While researching the return of the former Mattel property Boglins{originally designed for Coleco}, I stumbled upon these wonderful things on eBay..hope this helps Maria/anyone else who remembers them! Hey, even if you don't...they're all kinds of gross-out awesomeness.
When I was a kid I had a large toy space ship/shuttle that folded in half to become a command centre type playset that sort of looked like a robot with a pointy head. I'd say about 40cm long, 30cm wide, but I was a kid so I might be off. The inside has three aisles with the middle one being a white trap door that ran the length of the aisle revealing the hollow inside area. The base was black plastic and the top half was white plastic, both with large decals. I'm pretty sure it had wheels hidden in the bottom too. I brought it second hand and always wondered what it was. If anyone could finally solve this for me that'd be appreciated.
I think it was a space themed building toy what had red and blue discs that you held the pieces together with?
in the 70's or 80's my dad had a camper and he had this horn that came with cartridges that played different tunes. If you wanted to change the tune you just changed this little square cartridge, I believe it was red, if anyone knows what I am talking about please let me know.
Back again from August 22, 2015 on the "FIT" cloth dolls. Still unable to locate any and my MAC won't let me put up pix on other section of this web site. Nobody has any on Amazon or e-Bay. If anyone here has more information or wants to see the TIZZY FIT doll, please e-mail me at this addy: 1brh. smmrz (at) gmail . com (without the spaces, etc.). Thanks.
Hi I have a doll that is pose-able, her eyes open sitting up and close lying down, she has/had a voice of that "waah-ed" when you tipped her upside down. I think she's about 30cm tall. There's something like 'oil' or 'oil' imprinted on her neck with 1989. I'd like to know what she's called and any other info on her
LANI - don't know if you'all ever read this, but I too had that log toy and was going crazy for years trying to find it. Well I just found it...It's called 'Peek-A-Boo Log' made by Child Guidance. I found a pic of it in the Canadian Simpson-Sears catalog from 1973. You can view that catalog On a site called 'wishbookweb' (google it...they archived a bunch of old holiday catalogs). Enjoy the memory!!
I'm trying to find out the name of these toy figurines: There are five total, each a different color (yellow, blue, green, pink, orange). They look like they have different personalities (one looks sneaky, one looks sleepy, one looks happy, one looks spunky, and one looks dopey), and one looks similar to the Honey Monster cereal. The bottom says "Innovations in Marketing 1984 Made in Korea". They aren't the seven dwarfs or smurfs. They are hairy like Cousin It, except with arms and legs. They almost look like Happy Meal toys, and they look similar shape to Grimace from McDonld's. They look so familiar, but I cannot figure out where they are from!!! Help!
I am trying to find a stuffed toy I had as a kid in the UK. It had blue legs (trousers) I think white top with verticle stripes. And a blue hat. With a little name badge which said Katie. I named her Katie doll, over the years she got worn, all thats left is a patched up head. Anyone know what I am talking about?
I am looking for an inch worm that was a wind-up movable plush that played twinkle twinkle little star, from the late 1980's to early 1990's. It was pink with large eyes with the wind up at the end at the bottom right hand side. HELP!

Trying to find the name of an 80s toys. It was half devil, half tank. A large toy with a purple torso, with horns and possibly wings with a tank for legs. Very weird.
Email me what you can pin point on this description, on whxremxans@gmail.com I have this figurine no bigger than 5 cm tall of a blonde Caucasian boy with bright blue eyes. Wearing an orange top, baggy blue pants, brown shoes and a red backpack to compliment his outfit. There’s also this distinct feature of having a metal ball bearing inside the figurine which allows it to slide around mimicking the illusion of walking. Based on my father’s recollection of my childhood and a combination of my vivid memory of this toy. This doll accompanied (maybe) with another doll and conductor came with a train set which I distinctively was in the colour of blue and white (I might be wrong as I had a few train sets as a child). This train from memory (reaching back into my 4 year old brain) looked like a monorail of sorts with at least 1-2 carriages after the main train. It would lap in a full circle and stop at the station where it would either raise a platform and let the passengers roll in (hence the ball bearing) and it would ride off. This is as much detail I can pin point at the moment. It’s one of the things I’ve been wanting to see again in person or through a video of sorts as it was a fond part of my childhood. Hopefully someone can help me with this as I’m having immense trouble trying to find it online
I am looking for a wind-up plush pullstring pink inchworm from 1990 and it is not a glo-worm or leggs and it played twinkle little star and would move and wiggle, does anyone remember this cute 12 inch plush inchworm?
Wondering if any of y’all remember an educational type toy from the early 80’s that was a tan/bright color, and it had plastic-like sheets you could slip in and out of the front, and they were two sided. And it had corresponding discs you’d put into the side of it. You’d press the answer to the questions that the disc would play, on it. I remember a solar system one??
Toy guns are toys which imitate real guns, but are designed for children to play with. From hand-carved wooden replicas to factory-produced pop guns and cap guns, toy guns come in all sizes, prices and materials such as wood, metal, plastic or any combination thereof. Many newer toy guns are brightly colored and oddly shaped to prevent them from being mistaken for real firearms.

Hi everyone I've been trying to find a toy/book from the late 80s/early 90s. It was a a yellow case you opened up and it had plastic 2d disney characters that stood up and you used a pen torch to get the characters to talk and I think move
I had an Action figure when I was a kid it was a 3 3/4 figure. It was white in color like a Robot figure with a Black Cowboy style hat. no idea if it is late 70s or early 80s and can find no images of it. I just remember it. I would say I got it between 1980-1982. I did not have it long as it got broken.
I remember a blue computer toy that had a lid you could close and lock, it had games like hangman, and you could play music on it, it was a blue one, does anyone know what this toy computer was?

Hi I'm trying to remember a toy I swear existed, but I'm having zero luck with keywords on Google. This would've been around 1984-1986 I believe. They were scifi/monster/alien/creature action figures that were inside an egg. Figures were maybe the size of He-Man. They were spongy or foamy and you could remove limbs and interchange with other figures. Kind of like a stress ball type figure but at the same time, clay/play doh ish because the limbs could be reattached like a clay. I swear these existed. My husband thinks I'm nuts!
doe anyone remember a doll with short brown hair pigtail and has 2 blocks inside of her that make her sit. She is wearing i believe pink pajamas, top has some flowers and the bottom is just a regular pick pants. she got mixed up with some toys i was throwing away. does anyone know what i am talking about? i need to find her or at least know who made this doll. she had hair not painted on.
Ok I had this plastic briefcase that had educational books in it and a little plastic blue owl/pen that's eyes glowed red depending on the answer you picked. I think they light up green if correct & red if wrong. Any ideas?
Hi Michelle from Feb 17th post - not sure if you received your answer but are you talking about Manglors?
I had a toy that was like Quadro but had red tubes, blue plastic flat bits and black clips that connected it all and made it safe. You could build tables, chairs, book cases, etc. I can't remember the name.
I had this tiny doll for as long as I can remember, since around 1999-2001 up until about 3 years ago when it got lost. So I am guessing it was in stores around 2000. It was a human-looking doll, maybe 2.5 inches tall. She had a deep pink/magenta coloured onesie made of felt-like material that covered where her hands and feet would be (so it didn't have hands or feet sticking out of the limbs) and the whole body was filled with beanbag material. Only the face was made of plastic and was painted with realistic (proportional sized) eyes and lips and had a tiny nose sticking out. She also wore the same color of pink hat that ended in a short triangle shape (not flat like a beanie but not as long as like a santa hat). She also had a light yellow silky ribbon tied around her neck (but I'm not sure if it actually belonged on the doll or if it fell off and someone glued it back on.) It had no tags or other identifying marks. If you have any information on what this doll could be, could you please email me at ljmf98@gmail.com. Thanks so much.
Yellow and orange in color, Articulated arms and legs 3 fingers on each hand and 3 toes on each foot ..Head has 2 faces On front end an evil looking face and the other side a sad looking face and both mouths openedand closed.. Top of head has a hook of sorts and bottom and underneath of head A double spiked mallet .. head rotates vertically for fighting action .. I cannot remember the year it came out or the show only that it was 80's
I remember a clown I had, it was completely soft the only hard part was the nose and it was a little red button nose. The clothes were blue and white striped jump suit looking and it had red yarn hair. It also had a hat but I don’t remember what color the hat was. I believe it was a late 80s or early 90s stuffed toy.
I am trying to track down a toy from my childhood. I'm not sure if it was released in the 70's or early 80's. It was a tan hard plastic dog with soft floppy black or dark brown ears. The one I owned had a string/rope to pull it around. There were wheels under the body and the legs were attached to the body and would move like it was walking when you pulled it.
hello everyone. I'm looking for this toy I'm thinking is from the 80s/early 90s. I dont know if it was part of a set but the one I had was of a guy in a blue vest, and shorts and when you pressed a button his shorts would fall which made his boxers show. I was probably a year old but found it so funny. Google isn't showing results so I'm hoping someone can help!
