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! Jx

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.

i have a bear the first origianl recorda nd repeat bear but unsure of what the name might be it came out before teddy ruxpen it's brown with a voice box in the back that runs off a battery, also has a heart that lights up on it's chest one paw you push records the other paw your push would play it back. the paws are white his body is brown anyone have an idea of what his name might be? if you do contact me via e-mail at nluvandmarryd3@yahoo.com it's a very sentimental item to my husband and we want to see if we can find another one 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?

am looking for a toy my daughter used to have. a furry thing with a long tail with a hairbrush at the end of it. found a comment about it but then coud not find it again. would be grateful for any help. think it was blue or green

found it. its a lil brush-a-love. some are very cute but some look gross lol

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! jjsprincess25@yahoo.com

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 email samnymph@hotmail.com

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

**STEPHANIE** the purple horse is Silkymane from Lady Lovely Locks and the little critters are the pixietails!! here are some links http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_LadyLovelyLocks_Pets.htm http://ladylovelylocks.org/node/475

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!

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 know where i can buy the(tyco) quints(apart from ebay).or if anyone is selling them/ I would love to collect them for my grand_daughter.can you please email me karina_w@hotmail.co.uk thanks

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!
