ACTION FIGURE
Do I cut or put hole in original plastic to allow air in. Will this take away from it's value?
ACTION FIGURE - ELEMENTS CREATURES
In the early 90's there was a line of small action figure creatures, no taller than 4-5 inches. I believe they were "Elements Creatures" or something of that sort. The theme to them was they had a temperature sensitive patch on their chests/stomachs and when you placed your finger over them, or got them wet, the patch would show a little picture of a flame, for the "fire element" or waves for the "water element" and I believe they had a couple other element themes like earth or wind. I'm not quite sure. These small plastic action figures, were similar in size and build to the popular "Z-Bots." Their legs bent at the hip and their arms at the shoulder. The action figures were also divided up into teams that you could collect the members of each "elemental team." I cannot remember the name of these toys nor do I know where you can find them. I'm sure they are out of production, but I'm looking for used ones or old stock that haven't been opened. It doesn't matter, either condition works. Can you help me? Please let me know, thank you! I look forward to hearing from you soon. Josiah

ACTION FIGURES - NFL - TONKA
Do you know the name and or where you can find NFL action figures produced by Tonka in 1981. My son loves them and would like to find more if possible. They were purchased new from a farm supply store in Iowa in the 1980's. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
ACTION FIGURES - SPACEMAN - 1974 - 75
Right around 1974-75 I played with spaceman action figures. They had different clothes and space helmets. There was also a bad alien that had a purple gun that when you squeezed a little button air would force out a bright green string that would look like a laser blast. Once it was fully extended you would let go of the button and suction would suck the string back in. These figures were about 6 inches tall. Sorry, it has been 33 years and this is all I can remember about them.

AROUND WE GO
Will the Around We Go toy impede or damage the development a child who has not started to walk on his own?
ART GAME
Around 1969 to 1972 we used to get these art games I think from Avon - they were white plastic boards with a fake wood frame. They came with black templates that you would lay over the white frame. There were little colored pieces, a big square, a small square, an ell shaped, a rectangle. These plastic pieces fit into the white pegboard and with the color code that came with it, you would fit the plastic pieces onto the black template and create a picture. Do you know what these were called? and did Avon make them?

BABY DOLL WITH ACCESSORIES
Around the mid 60's, I remember a small baby doll that had her own plastic highchair that I believe converted to a stroller and she also came with a playpen that may have converted to something else also.

BARBIE'S SWEET SOUNDS PET SHOP - 2002
I picked up the above item at a swap meet, just because I thought my granddaughter would enjoy it. Didn't realize till afterward what a great toy it must have been when new. From what I can tell, all the sights and special effects seem to be working. Toy animals are missing, but I'm hoping to find suitable replacements. The one thing that has me stymied is the white, plastic-covered appendage on the back of the toy. It looks like someone lopped off whatever device was on the end. I am curious to know what it was designed to do. I did unscrew the back panel enough to peek inside, but could not see that it was attached to any visible working part. Before just cutting off the rest of the 'thing," I'd like to be sure it's not something repairable. Any ideas on what it was and the purpose it served? Hope my question makes sense.

BOARD GAME - GUESS WHO
I am looking for a board game I played in the mid 70's that was called guess who. it is different than the 2 player flip up/down mystery face game but had the same concept. the board had faces all the way around it and there were cards of the people you would draw from to know who you were. the four corners of the board had special people, for instance, a certain one always said no, another one always lied. players would take turns going around asking questions to other players to guess who they were. if they thought they knew all of them, on their turn they would guess who everyone was. a small plastic thing was passed around and when they told you who they thought you were you would then insert a yellow chip into either the yes or no slot. the guesser would lift the lid and look in to see if he was 100% correct. if he was game over if not game continued until someone guessed correctly who everyone was.

DIP IT FLOWER MAKING KIT
In the early 70's my mom bought me a flower-making kit, I think it was called "Dip It" (or something like that). The kit came with flexible wires which you could shape into petals and then dip into a tin can of really smelly liquid plastic stuff. When it dried, you would have a sort of stained-glass effect. The liquid came in different colors and when it dried, it would look like a piece of colored plastic-wrap was stretched across the open loop of the wire. I remember spending many summer days playing with this kit and was wondering if anyone remembers this set and knows where I might purchase one. Part of me thinks that the kit was probably pretty toxic because the liquid smelled pretty bad, but perhaps it was reformulated to meet today's standards. Thanks in advance for any assistance you might provide.

EDUCATIONAL TAPE PLAYER - 1984 - 87
I'm not sure of the name of this product. But I know in deep detail it's description. I've been looking for the name of it all over the net and no one knows the name. Just know the description. It is very large white tape player. The speaker side and tape player side were grey. Over towards the right it had a storage compartment for the books and tapes that were made for it. The answer keys were big red, blue, yellow, and green buttons. It worked like this. You would place the tape in. Listen to the story and read along with the book. It would ask questions along the way and the way you answered was to press one of the colored buttons. I remember it being called "the Sesame Street machine" Any help?

ELMER THE FROG - 1950's
When I was a small child, maybe mid 1950's we were very poor and a little girl in the neighborhood who was privileged had a rubber frog that may have been 10" tall with a big red smile. I longed for that toy all my childhood years and she would never let me even hold it. I believe she called him Elmer the frog but I'm not sure that was his product name. I've been looking for one for the past ten years. Even contacted that old friend to ask if I could buy it but she threw it out many, many years ago. Can you please help me identify this toy so I can try to find it? Many, many thanks.
EXPANDING MODEL CAR circa 1968 - 1976
Sometime during the late 1960's to mid-1970's an unidentified U.S. toy manufacturer produced a line of "expanding" toy cars. These (primarily) plastic cars were approximately one foot long and would appear to be a typical commuter automobile. However, on pressing a button (I believe) on the exterior of the car (likely either on the roof or rear end), the car would "expand" into a dragster, revealing a large exposed engine and extending the length of the model. I believe - but am not certain - that an additional button on the vehicle could be depressed that would cause the model to speed off (believe to be related a spring mechanism, etc.). I would be grateful if you could provide any information on this toy. In the event it is helpful, I lived in Massachusetts at the time of the purchase of this toy. Thank you!
FIGURINE - IDEAL - 1977
I have a black figurine that is 11" tall, wearing a black cape and pants with a black helmet. I would like to identify. There is some silver around the eyes. He kind of looks like a wonder figure of some sort.
FISCHER - AIRPORT SET MADE IN GERMANY EARLY 80'S
I'm looking for a FISCHER airport set that I had in my childhood in the early 80's. In the set were included an Airplane, a truck or a car and many people figures. The plane was made of interchangeable yellow pieces with two pair of blue wings. The people figures were very simple, they were made just of a "cone" body with a "ball" head and smiley faces. This set included some sort of paper carpet with airport designs in one side and some kind of board game in the reverse, the tokens for the game had the same smiley face of the figures. Please tell me if somebody has some info about this. As I said in the beginning the set was made by Fischer (not Fisher Price) but I'm unsure if was FischerTechnik or just Fischer.

FLY - N - TOP - BY FLY - N - TOP NOVELTY CO
What years was this company in business?
FLYING TOY - DELTA DART
During the mid-1970's there were toys that were hand-thrown gliders. I believe they were called DELTA DARTS or DELTA FLYERS. They were made of light-weight acetate or similarly thin by rigidly flexible (I know its sort of a contradiction of terms) plastic. It had the consistency of heavier overhead projector slide plastic. From a top view, they were triangular shaped, and had the general footprint of a hang glider. They had central spine that ended with a black heavy rubber nose-cone tip about the size the last finger tip joint of a person's pinky (so not very big). They came in colors like 70's orange, and dark navy blue, red baron red, and canary yellow, I believe. From above, the base of the triangle (along the rear end of the glider) had a black and white checkerboard pattern as a strip. Anything above the strip was the main color of the unit. They were a blast, and I want to find one from the 70's on eBay, or modern day equivalent (as the design was so sound). It might have been too dangerous to keep producing in this day and age (these things went like a bat out of hell - pardon the vernacular - and I would shudder to think what might happen if the rubber tip came off - basically, think of a lawn Dart that moves at super speed and you probably get an idea. I just want to find a picture of one, or at worse, have someone confirm that they existed and what they were really called. Thanks, and regards, Shawn . I'm 38 now, so it would have been around 74 to 76. Post Steve Austin, pre Star Wars. Thanks!
FLYING TOY - HELP IDENTIFY - 1960s - 1970s
I'm looking for the identity, not even necessarily the actual article, of a flying toy I had in the late 1960s early 1970s. Probably made by Remco/Ideal/Multiple, as we were in the Midwest and had a lot of toys under those brands. The toy was a Styrofoam "jet", in my mind about 12-18 inches in length. It was attached to a pylon mounted in a donut-shaped water filled base, so that it could fly around the pylon without tipping over. It was powered by a slot-car type controller via a DC powerpack plugged into the wall. If I remember correctly, later versions had different planes, but I could be wrong here. Although it's in the same genre and era as the Vertibird, the plane was much bigger/heavier and couldn't do many of the things a Vertibird could. I'd very much like to know the identity of this toy, and hopefully that will lead me to a picture of it somewhere. Thank you for any help you can give me in my toy quest.
FLYING TOY HELICOPTER
In the period of 1956 to 1958, I was given a toy helicopter which must have come from the T. Eaton catalogue here in Canada. This toy was a Sabena Airlines model with a cable attached to it connecting to a hand held gearbox. When you turned the crank , the machine lifted and it would go forward by rotating your wrist while cranking. I have a photo of myself holding the box while sitting under the Christmas tree. Does such a toy still exist?

KING KONG PLAY SET
Back in the 70's we had a king Kong jungle play set. King Kong had a magnet in his hand that would hold the female plastic figurine. The set was huge with many jungle animals, natives, spears, the ape hunters, a large cooking cauldron, huts, etc. I have tried to find out who manufactured the set and where I might get one. Any ideas?
KOREAN SILK DOLL
I bought a doll in an antique shop this summer for a $1.00 or $2.00. I was looking at it last night and it is stamped on the bottom: Park Korean Doll Then it has a trademark stamp below that with a big P and some sort of design around it. My question is if Park is a doll maker from Korea or if you have ever heard of one like this. She is not that remarkable, otherwise. She is about 12-15" tall and dressed in traditional Korean silk robe and hat. She is in good shape but appears to be pretty old.

MARBLE GAME - LATE 70's
It was during the time when games like Battling Tops, Perfection, Whirl Out and similar games that were fast action/big-boxed were all the rage. It was a plastic arena with four pockets around the perimeter. In the center was a clear plastic wheel. If I remember right, various colored marbles would get dropped in the center of the wheel (or loaded up in the wheel?). One player would spin the giant clear wheel which would let loose a fury of marbles bouncing around the arena as players tried to catch the marbles in their corner "pockets". This was achieved by rotating these two spindles that would open/close your little swing door. It was definitely not Milton Bradley, Parker Brothers or Ideal. Thank you
MARIONETTE - CLOWN
I have two clown marionettes that I have no idea what era they are from. They have ceramic faces, a straw hat, plastic hands, worn feet and a square piece of wood to the top of their pants. Their clothing is made of a coarse material that is tweedlike. Their wood feet and the wood body are held onto the clothes by nails. The strings are attached to a simple cross of wood. They have fuzzy hair glued on both sides of their heads. Any information you may have about these would be a great help! Thanks for your time.
MATCHBOX CITY
I am trying to find a matchbox city that was available in the city. It came in a plastic case and would fold open to reveal a city scene. It had a companion case that was a farmscape and the 2 of them could be connected. The city glowed in the dark. I had one around 1968 - 1970. I would like to find one but haven't had much luck.
MEGA BLOKS TINY N TUFF
I am looking for the Mega Bloks Tiny N Tuff Train for my son.

Any insight into this? Have they stopped making this? I think it had to come out around 2004 or something, so it hasn't been around that long. I wouldn't think it has been around more than like 5 years. THANKS!
MERMAID BATH TOYS
I had these mermaid bath toys when I was a child at some point in the 80's I believe. They came with a sponge that had a hole in the middle in which to put the doll. The doll would then float around in the sponge. I would love to know what these were called so I could try to find some for my daughter who loves mermaid toys.

MILITARY - AIRCRAFT CARRIER
When I was roughly 6 years old (1975)I received an aircraft carrier as a gift. It was rather large, say 3 feet long by 18 inches wide. It had slots in the surface of the carrier that had a sliding mechanism with rubber bands. From this you could launch either a blue Navy plane (made of some form of foam rubber) or a grey Air Force plane. The planes were roughly 5 inches by 5 inches. They didn't really "fly" ... but the realism was amazing and it is still one of the best Aircraft Carrier toys I've ever seen. Any idea where I could get another and what it was actually called and who made it?

Do you possibly know the brand name of these? Thanks much!

MODELS OF PREHISTORIC ERA - INTERLOCKING BASES
In the early 1970s I used to build models from a series with a prehistoric theme. The base for each piece interlocked with the other pieces in the series. I remember having a caveman's cave, a T-Rex or Allosaurus (it was definitely green), some horned animal stuck in a tar pit, and a sabertooth tiger. Do you have any idea what the name of this model series was and/or where it might still be found?

MUSICAL TEDDY BEAR WITH MICROPHONE
I am looking for a musical teddy bear my son had when he was younger, He is 8 now, so somewhere in the past ten years. The teddy bear sat upright and had a microphone attached to it. On the "pads" of his feet you would push a picture of the song you wanted him to sing and you could sing along or not. It played songs like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", and "Oh Where, Oh Where Can My Little Dog Be?" At the end of this song, it would say, "He's just a little fella..." There were several songs on it, but these are the only two I can remember. It wasn't the Teddy Ruxpin. I guess, it was something similar, but it didn't tell stories. I hope you can help me find this bear.
MYSTERY PLAID BEAR MAKER

PRESCHOOL TOY TOW TRUCK
I would like to locate and buy a toy tow truck my son had around 1996. It was about 12-18 inches tall, all plastic, and had tools attached (screw driver, wrench) to loosen but not completely take apart the wheels, doors, etc. It was great because the tools and parts were attached and never got lost.
PULL STRING RACE CAR TOY
I owned a car toy (mid 1960's to mid 1970's?). It had a hard plastic bright yellow body with white end caps in front and rear. Big black mag wheels with chrome plastic rims. The rear had air wholes which would allow the simulated engine revving when car was operated. It also had a clear plastic wraparound windshield and inner seat for supposedly one driver, but car was designed to be unmanned. The interesting part was that the side of car body had two wholes about 3-4 inches apart which had a string attached to it in a Y fashion that led to 2 red wooden wands (joined by a white plastic connector). The car was designed to be pulled rapidly in a circular motion around the body of the child holding the wand. Often it would go so fast it would fly off the ground and twist in mid air, sometimes crashing upside down, or rightside up. It was a lot of fun. What company made this toy car and what was the toy's official name so I can search for it on EBay
PULL STRING TOY

RADIO SUPER WAGON
I have a red wagon that will soon be 41 years old. It has Radio Super painted in white on the side. I have only seen one other wagon with this particular name on the side which I found on eBay. Was this made by Radio, and if so, was there something special about it? When I asked the person on eBay about his and told him I had never seen another one like it, he decided to end his auction early and do some looking to see if we might have something that was possibly rare. I live in a fairly large antique community and no one Have you ever heard of or seen a Radio Flyer wagon called a Radio Super? I have one that will soon be 41 years old. I have asked antique dealers and they have never heard of one and the only other one I have ever seen was listed on eBay this week. I emailed the seller and told them I had never seen another one like this, and did he have any history or knowledge about the wagon, he replied no, but decided to end his auction early and do some research. Do we have something rare possibly? I can't even find this particular wagon listed on the Radio Flyer website. Thanks in advance for any help you might can give.
RAILROAD BOXCAR TOYBOX
In the mid 50's I received a toy box that was a replica of a Santa Fe AT & SF logo and the number 63132 below the logo. The boxcar (toy box) is made of steel and aluminum. I believe the item was purchased in one of the leading Cleveland department stores of that era. The roof is removable and the box car doors open. The car measures approximately 31 inches in length, 14 inches high, and has a width of nearly 10 inches. There are no indications of the manufacturer. Have you any idea who made this item? I am of the impression there was also made a matching caboose. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Best regards, Andrew

RUBBER FACED SAD BEAR 1950's
I grew up with a sweet rubber faced sad bear. It was my mothers when she was a young girl. It was brown short fur with a round tummy. Its face and ears were rubber. Its eyes were closed and had blue lids. Its mouth had the lower lip pulled up over the upper lip in a pout. the upper lip could not be seen. I lost this bear somewhere in my late 20's or early 30's as one day it just dawned on me that it had disappeared. I miss this bear as it meant a lot to my mother. I found a NEAR replica on eBay but it had a striped brown and white tummy which makes me think it was maybe re upholstered as the rest of the body was in terrible shape, BUT the face was EXACT. who made this bear? I want one so badly. I had another bear that grew up with my mother and myself that was large and soft all over. Dark brown and light brown body with a jingle bell sewn into its ear. It grew up with sad bear and disappeared at the same time. It makes me think someone took the bears or my ex husband disposed of them without telling me. HELP.

STUFFED TOY ANIMAL
I'd like to know the name of the toy I have and it's approximate value. It's in good to very good condition.

The face is plastic, and the horse is wearing a yellow straw hat with his ears sticking thru it, mouth is open and he has two protruding front teeth. I think this might be Horace Horsecollar, but I'm not sure. He had to have been made sometime during the mid 60's to mid 70's. Thanks for any help you can give me ! Cheri
