We have many "sets" of accessories like flower shop, shoe store, hot dog stand, ice capades, stewardess scenario, Oscar night, and more. These sets include many small pieces specific to their subject. They were well used and we have alot of the pieces but not all.

BATTERY OPERATED - PARACHUTE DROP - 1970's: In the late 1970's I owned a mechanical/ battery powered(?) board game. I was wondering if you could shed any light on it? It was big and blue. It had an eye piece that you looked through and a cross on the other end of the mirrored aim part that overlooked the circular board. The big yellow bit would revolve and there was these little yellow plastic parachutes with a little magnet on them. they were suspended by the magnet below the aim thing. You manually moved the aim thing in and out with a little wheel or something until the cross in the eye part aimed on a indentation/well on the revolving board. When it did you pressed the trigger and it released the plastic parachute with the intention of it falling into the desired well
BATTERY OPERATED - TRUCK - LATE 1980's/EARLY 1990's: had a truck that was battery operated in the late 80's early 90's, it had a shifter handle on the back of it and when you pressed down on the toy the tires would smush together to give you traction can you help me with the name?
BATTERY OPERATED PUPPY DOGS - EARLY 1990s: There was this line of plush battery operated dogs in 1991 or 1990 I think It was made by Tyco or Tiger Electronics (maybe even Hasbro) These puppy dogs would whimper, cry or bark when you hugged them. There was a Velcro closure on the dog's stomach where you would replace the batteries. I think I might have bought mine from a Lionel Kiddie City when I was a child back in '91 but those stores went bankrupt and closed down. (They were very similar to the "FurReal Friends" that are out today.) There were 3 dogs one was yellow cocker spaniel? One was black and white and the 3rd dog was brown and white (like a basset hound or saint Bernard.) I would say these puppies were about 15"-18" plush, Do you know what this toy line was called?
BATTERY OPERATED STUFFED TOY: I bought a toy in working order about three months ago. It has ceased to work. Its called Snoozzzzin Pal. (50019 carrots made by the Omega Toy Company).

BEANIE BOTTOM DUCKIE: I bought my daughter an Easter duckie about 10 inches tall around 1994. I think it was a Russ toy.

BLUE EASTER BUNNY - APRIL 2007 SALES CIRCULAR TARGET: I am looking for a blue Easter bunny with big black eyes that was sold in Target stores this past Easter. On the cover of the sales circular was the bunny and two other stuffed animals. I believe at the time they were sold for $3.99. I called Target and was told that the manufacturer of the bunny was Soyea Corporation. However, I am not sure if it's because the product is seasonal that I am unable to find it.
BLUE RABBIT - MUSICAL: My son was given a musical blue denim rabbit that hung over his doorknob when he was a baby. It hung there quietly until you pulled a handle at its feet and then it stretched accordion fashioned and played music for a few minutes. I think it came from target about 6 years ago.

BOARD GAME - FALLING MARBLES: I used to visit my grandparents\' house and play an interesting game they had that once belonged to my aunt, probably during the early 70s. It had a red plastic board which stood upright, with channels in it, and white "switches" at some of the intersections in these channels. The idea was that you would load a number of white marbles at the top. Then you'd push a lever to send a marble down to the bottom through the channels, and the marble would move the flippers and switches back and forth depending on which way it fell. You'd send a chosen number of marbles (I think between one and three) down in one turn. Then you'd flip a switch and it was the "game's turn, and it would send a certain number down depending on the condition of the board as you'd left it. The idea was to be the one to send the final marble down. The game had a Chinese theme, and was called "Dr. something". For the life of me, I can't find any information on it. Please help!
BOARD GAME - GREEN BIRD WITH RED/ORANGE HAIR: When I was a kid in the early eighties, I used to play at my aunt's house. In her basement, she had this really fun game that I liked to play. I'm pretty sure it was called Pop Your Top Off or Blow Your Top Off or something like that. I've searched but can't find anything about the game. Probably because I have the name wrong. Can someone help ?
BOARD GAME - MAGICIAN or ROBOT WITH WAND THAT POINTS TO ANSWERS LATE 1950s: I had a board game where a robot with a wand or a magician pointes to a question around the outside and then was placed on a mirror( I think) and pointed out the correct answer as if by magic.

BOARD GAME - PINK SHELLS: Back in the 1960's there was a board game with little pink shells as playing pieces and it had to do with the sea, I think there were mermaids involved. What is the name of that game and is it available anywhere around?
BOARD GAME - PLASTIC BONGO DRUMS: I was wondering about the name of a game which actually consisted of plastic bongo drums which you would place in angled holders. You would have a marble launcher, and the goal was to bounce the marble from all of the drums, thinking of how to position the drums to do so. I have always wondered what this game was called... I had thought it was "Big Bam Boom" but that is apparently incorrect since it doesn't turn up in searches. This was from the 70's.

BOOK - SHREW GETS GLASSES: I'm trying to find a book that I read when I was little about an old shrew who lived in the side of a hill or mountain. The main character would try to get up the hill, but the shrew threw things out and yelled at the main character and it's friends. The shrew gets glasses and is happy, so he lets them pass. They come across an old mill with colorful bumps on the lawn that turn out to be eggs. It would be the best if you knew the name of this book. thanks
BOOK CHARACTER - 1980-1995: He had orange hair that was in thick strings. He had a little sister that wore a bow on her hair and I'm pretty sure her name was sister or little sitter. He wasn't an animal or a person but more of a think and I'm pretty sure he wore overalls. Do you remember who he is?
BOOKS - RECORD PLAYER: In the early 80's I had a book with Mickey Mouse and he was a ghost exterminator. Inside the book had a little record that if you held it over the record it would read that page of the book. What was that kind of book called and who made it?
BOW WITH RUBBER SHOTS: I'm trying to remember what the toy bow was called that instead of arrows shot little rubber "bullets" that looked like yellow erasers. I got one around the mid to late 80's.

BUILDING SQUARES - 1970's: During the mid-1970s, I had a set of flat, plastic squares (approx. 5 inches square).

It had a metal earring, black lace fringes, black boots, and black shorts. Maybe it was a clown, maybe just a crazy animal. It was blue with yarn for hair. I accidentally threw it out and never hear the end of it. Do you have any idea what this thing was properly called, who made it, and where I can get a replacement? My wife just called it "dolly".
COLOR SETS -80's: Its a 80's toy a color set you put plates on a frame then the paper on top and you rub a black crayon against the plates and then you color it in. The sets were a super hero set, Barbie set with heads only, and I think a My Little pony or Strawberry Shortcake.
COMPUTERIZED CAR: I once owned a "corvette" Toy car about a foot long that you would punch instructions on a key pad under the hood. Simple commands. Forward arrow 1 meter, turn right 1 meter, siren 3 seconds etc. You would press go and the car start engine, cool sound...and then would do your commands.

CONSTRUCTION / DESTRUCTION SET: 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!

DIVER/FROGMAN/SKIN-DIVER/BOTTLE BLUE AND PLASTIC.: I am searching for a small Diver toy, approx 1-1.5 inches high, made in plastic, colored light blue, manufactured around 1959-1962. Commonly called a: "Skindiver/Frogman/Bottle diver", the Diver was designed to be used in a soda bottle , the ones with the old-fashioned black, rubber twist tops. When the top was twisted the diver would "dive" to the bottom of the bottle, reverse the twist and the Diver would rise to the top and surface. This is not the Kellogg's baking powder toys, nor the modern CARTESIAN DIVERS. The Diver had a small, circular indentation in the back which I feel may have been part of the diving and surfacing process, as it possibly captured air to make an air pocket. There's a suggestion that this Diver may have been part of a promotion by a soda company , dandelion & Burdock, Lemonade etc., although I cannot confirm this. Many, many years and still no luck finding this-I KNOW I didn't imagine it, any data most gratefully received.
DOG - CUDDLEY DUDLEY: Sometime in the early/mid 60's was there a dog (large by kid standards) by the name of Cuddley Dudley - I seem to recall that he came with his own cardboard dog house?
DOLL - "MELLISA" MOUSE: In approximately 1975, my best friend was given a stuffed mouse, it had a dress on, an apron, possibly a book in one hand, a bonnet or nightcap on her head, and glasses on. I'd really appreciate help in finding one again. My friend can't remember if the doll was already named Melissa, or if she gave her that name.
DOLL - ANTIQUE 1920's: My mother has an OLD porcelain doll 4"-5" tall. She thinks it was called an Amanda doll when she got it years ago, as a child, during the late '20s or early '30s. Do you have any idea what it might be worth, or where it may have come from? I have no other information on it.

DOLL - DANCING - LATE 1980's EARLY 1990's: there was a dancing doll on the market that had long hair and was a jazzy type of doll. It was on a stand and played music I think. I remember they were often displayed in stores on the ends of isles and one or two would be on and dancing away. They were a kind of funny looking dancer.

DOLL - FREAKY LOOKING: Growing up in the 70's I had a pretty weird looking doll; from memory she was about ~10 inches tall, she had a soft cloth-filled body (the fabric was pinkish red and looked like what I can best describe as old-fashioned mattress fabric) with quite hard plastic legs, arms and head; her eyes could open and close but her most distinguishing feature was that her hair, made of mousy blond nylon stuff and about 2 inches long, stood up on end, all of it! She was like this from day one so I know it wasn't from me overbrushing her hair! I let her go at some point in my teens and now think I'd like to find another, so if anyone knows where I can start looking? Thanks, Louise

DOLL - HORSE LIKE FACE: I am looking for a doll that was similar to a Barbie doll that my sister and I played with as children in the 1980s. The doll looked like a horse in the face, but resembled a human as well. She had a short neck and from what I can remember, looked like a human from the neck down. She was much thicker than a Barbie, and seemed to be quite "stocky". I have no idea what company made her, or what her name is. I've looked on EBay for this doll, and cannot find anyone else who remembers her.

IDENTIFY TWO TOYS -1970's: I am looking for 2 toys I believe were from mid to late 1970's. 1.) a clear plastic oval shaped toy with blue, black, and white sand in it. You would just turn it different ways to move the sand around. It was great to keep the kids mesmerized. 2.) There was an "art" type toy that was rectangular in shape. It had a plastic yellow frame around it. The center of the board had a black liquid under the protective coating. You used a plastic triangle or "T" shaped piece to move the black liquid around and to "draw" pictures with it and it would show lots of different colors within one drawing. You then took the plastic piece and spread the black liquid around to cover it up. Same principle as an etch a sketch but more manual and with color. I do know if you took off the board on the back, it was just waves of different colors and that is what came through when you moved the black liquid around. The protective covering on the front was some type of vinyl.
INTERACTIVE STORY - CASSETTE PLAYER: During the mid 80's, I had an interactive storybook cassette player. It was white, with a cassette deck on the left, a bookrest on the right, and four buttons (red, green, blue, and yellow) that were located directly below the book. Each story contained a book and a cassette that could be used with the device. The cassette's audio worked along with the book to tell a story, and the reader was presented with choices and questions throughout the story. These questions could be answered by pressing the colored buttons below the book pages. Each button played a different piece of audio from the cassette. Stories I remember using with the toy include: "Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street", "The Amazing Game", and "In Search of the Planet Cobalt". The toy itself was about the size of a lapdesk. My first child was born recently, and I'd love to track one of these down for her to play with when she gets a little older, but I don't know what it was called. Can you help me?

LISTEN AND READ ALONG BOOKS: Between 1978-1984, I remember books that had vinyl discs located on the pages (like mini-records).

I remember the device was brown and white and had two buttons to press with arrows. Once I listened to and followed along to the recording on one page, I lifted the device, set it in position on the next page continued. I need to know the name of this book/mini-record player series.

It was heavy cardboard (or wood,) with little plastic legs (maybe 3" high or more.) The town was complete with roads, stop lights, stop signs,plastic houses, gas station, police station, firehouse, and a supermarket with aisles. The people and cars all had magnets under them and were "kid powered" using little wands with magnets. In my memory, it was already assembled & may have folded in half or not folded at all.

MAZE / OBSTACLE COURSE BOARD GAME - MAGNETIC BALL BEARING /MARBLE: During the mid-late 80's I played a game that the object of was to navigate a magnetic marble sized ball bearing through a series of obstacles. Some of these included a series of logs or barrels that the ball had to jump up with a controlled tap of a button. There were a pair of rails that sat flush together and with a slide of a switch; they would make an alligator jaw's like motion which you had to get the ball bearing to roll to the end of without letting it fall between. There was an orange fully enclosed maze in the center which you use more levers to tilt the maze to get the bearing through. There was also a magnetic lever that picked the ball up and dropped it to the next section at one point. The colors of the game were mainly green and orange, some parts were beige. I think you had to get the ball to the end before a bell rang. Can you please find out the name of it for me? Thanks.

MECHANICAL TOY - T-REX: During the early 60's, I had a mechanical T-Rex, about 15" tall and 24" long, that wobbled along on wheels until you hit a target on its tail with a suction cup dart. After a hit, it would turn 90 degrees towards the direction of the dart and fire a marble out of its back.
