ACTION FIGURE - DIE CAST METAL SOLDERS: During the early/mid 80's, I remember having and buying small die-cast metal soldiers. They were around 2 1/2 inches (6cm) had a rubber head and were gold in color. Their legs could not bend nor their arms except at the hips and shoulders. I remember that they had something do to with "gold-force" or something. The theme was that they were metal and "gold. " The gold color uniforms changed pink in the cold, which was irreversible

ACTIVE MINDS INTERACTIVE DVD BOOK: My child received an Active Minds Interactive DVD book for Christmas. The instructions says to use a remote control with a number pad to program the remote control which came with the book. Our DVD remote control does not have a number pad; is there another way to program the remote which came with the book?
AIR /WATERPOWERED ROCKET: In the late 50's I had a two stage rocket that was operated on water and air. The booster rocket was maybe 16-18 inches tall and the a rocket was attached to the booster. The top rocket had a rubber tip on it and also a cap could be placed in this tip so it could exploded on landing. If I remember correctly you would fill the booster rocketed with water, attached this to the base with the top rocket in place. A metal clip with a string was attached to the booster and air was added with a bicycle pump. After enough pressure was added you would pull the string and the rocket would take of with the two rockets separating in flight. Any information you would have, maker,year produced,etc. would be very helpful. Thank you Keith.

ARMY SOLDIER: Between 1975 - 1985 I remember playing with a series of plastic, super-deformed, highly articulated, 3 1/2 inch - 4 inch army soldiers that swiveled at the hips and made a clicking noise when hips moved. These figures had extenuated bulging muscles, over articulated facial features and joints and were quite sturdy and detailed for their time. These soldiers looked mad and angry and ready for any battle. These figures were all molded plastic with no soft goods like cloth clothing or cloth pouches. These figures were all made of highly glossy, painted, molded plastic. These figures looked as if they were completed with two main pieces of molded plastic joined at the hips. I remember one figure was kneeling down on his knee in an action pose and held some type of bazooka or rocket launcher. Other similar figures in the series were standing and held highly detailed machine guns and handguns. Each figure had removable hand grenades and helmets and each figure could be affixed to a dark colored, battle base. I think these figures came in packs of 3-4 and each squad member had a different pose, weapon, and duty within those sets. I really remember the clicking hips. Extremely cool figures for their time and I have been dying to find them once again on eBay or some toy show but no luck. Please help me find these lost toys of my childhood. Point me in the right direction so I can scoop them up. Thanks.

BOARD BALL AND TOWER TYPE GAME: My mother is looking for a game from her childhood that she played in elementary school! She told me that it was a tower with a base and in the tower there was a wall. The tower and the wall and the balls had holes all through it. She said each player had 2 sticks each and a different color set of balls one set for each player. She told me that you place your balls on one side of the tower wall and your opponent places theirs on the other side of the tower wall. The object of the game was you and your opponent both start at the same time and use your 2 sticks and place them in the holes and through the holes in the balls and try to get all your balls to the top through the hole at the top of the tower and into the other players side before they got theirs onto your side. She figured the game was made in the late '60s or in the '70s seeing as how that was the time period she was in elementary school. She would like to know the name of this game and if possible where she might be able to find it for purchase? When she first described it thought maybe she was talking about kerplunk but when she finished the description I didn't know the name of the game but I sure wanted to play it. LOL!

DOLL - ANIMAL HEAD: I would like to replace a doll my 17 mo old daughter lost. She loved it very much and received it as a gift. The doll has an black body with light color feet and hands. It has a human plastic head (male I think, and not too good looking). The doll's most distinctive feature is an animal-head "hood" that covers completely the human head. Once the hood is on. the animal body matches the animal head, as if the doll wore a monkey (or bear) costume. Do you know what kind of toy it is? It was given to us in used condition by Turkish friends and I have no reason to believe it not contemporary (end 1990s/2000s). I would really love to replace the one she had with a similar one.

ELECTRIC RACE CAR - SLOTLESS TRACK: Back in the late 80's early 90's there were a line of electric toy race cars that raced around a dual-lane track. The track had walls around it and between the lanes and the cars themselves had small plastic wheels (like bumpers) around it, allowing it to smoothly go around the turns in the track. The cars were about 4 inches wide and 6-8 inches long. I still have my track, but somewhere along the line all my cars have disappeared and I can't remember what they were called. They were basically like oversized slot cars - minus the slot. You had to put the cars together when you bought them, including putting the tires on the wheels and fixing the motor to the chassis. The only thing I DO remember is one of the cars I had was black and look quite similar to a Lamborghini Contac and it was called the Dominator. Any ideas?
ELECTRONIC BOARD GAME: There was a electronic board game when I was young (1985) that my grandma had and I can't remember the name of it.

Any idea to what the name of the game is? Thanks!
ELECTRONIC CAR - FLEXIBLE: I'm looking for the name, or more information about a toy made in the late eighties. It was an electronic car that was long and flat with several wheel axles. The top of the wheels were above the body of the vehicle. It was not remote controlled and could not turn left or right, but it was very flexible in the up/down direction; as a result it could climb over almost anything. I believe the commercials advertising it showed it climbing over buildings or building rubble or something like that. My brothers and I each got one for Christmas when we were young and I'm trying to figure out just what it was

The object was to only get your color marbles on your side and to shut out the other colors before they got into your slots. Do you know the name of the game or where I could find one?

MATCHBOX CARS - EARLY - 1970s: Did Mattel make many cars in the early 1970s that had some sort of clear bubble on top? I am looking for a friend who was born in 1965 and spent some time in foster care in the early seventies. It was there he had the matchbox with a clear plastic bubble on top and it was taken from him and broken purposely. Must have meant a lot to him to still remember. But that's the only description I have. It had a clear plastic bubble on top. If there were lots like that - I probably will never find it. But your help in narrowing the search would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
