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.
