80's hand held puzzel game: During the time frame of 1983-1991, I received a handheld puzzel game. It was flat,grey and made up of squares with a pattern on it ...say 3x3. The aim of the game was to fold and flip the squares to mix up the pattern then try and get it back the way it was, same sort of concept as a rubix cube.

Animal Toy - White Tiger: My older brother had one toy that was his favorite when we were growing up in the mid 90's. This white tiger had movable limbs and small sections of furr for whiskers. The stripes on it was pink and it almost had an oriental feel to it. I believe it was plastic, but it's been so long since I've even seen the toy, I wouldn't know anymore. Also, it was really small, roughly like three inches tall and four or five long, including the tail I think. Really hard outline, but it's kinda important if i could find one for him... It's been so long.; Reply

Ball...with boy's face: Hi there, My mother told me a rather sad story recently...when she was growing up, her family was very poor, so having a toy was extremely rare. She happened to have one toy that she was extremely attached to...she said it was a ball that had the face of a little boy on it. Apparently the stitching on the ball formed the boy's hairline, which was blonde. I believe it may have had blue eyes as well. She said she called the ball Tommy, but doesn't recall if that was the name of the toy of if she named him. She was extremely sad when Tommy was taken, so much so that she still remembers the loss. Her attachment to this ball seems to be along the lines of Tom Hanks' character in Castaway to his volleyball companion, Wilson. The only other info I have is that she must have acquired the ball in the early to mid 1940s. Thank you for any help or direction you can provide.; Reply
Battery operated car set called "Set & Go", Runs on yellow plastic cord: Hello. I'm looking for a car set from the mid 1960's that I think was called "Set & Go." There were 2 race cars, 1 blue, 1 red, and I think they were battery operated. They ran on a yellow cord, if I remember correctly. Do you know where I could find this, or at least some pictures of it? I collect old toys (when I can scrounge up the money), and it brings back good childhood memories, at least seeing pictures helps. Thank you in advance for your reply! Brian; Reply
BATTERY OPERATED SEMI TRUCK WITH TRAILER FROM 1990's: I was wondering if you were able to tell me the name and/or company that produced these in the early 90's. The toy was a battery operated semi truck with detachable trailer. They had an ignition-like switch on the side that could be turned like a key and the truck would make engine sounds. The truck would then continue to sound as if the truck were in idle until it was pushed forward or backward. If the truck moved forward, the idle sound changed to an engine sound, until movement stopped when a braking sound would happen. If the truck was pushed backward a "beeping" sound occured like a truck in reverse. This toy also had a button on the top for the truck's horn that could be pushed at any time. Can you help me out? Thank you very much.; Reply
Big Bird Touch Screen Toy: I have a toy that used to be mine when I was little (probably early to mid 1980s). My mom stored it with the batteries inside and it doesn't work. I'm looking to find one that works, the only problem is that there isn't any label on the toy or any of the cards for me to search under only what I can describe. The toy is Big Bird (solid plastic, all one piece) and he has on a backpack to hold the different interactive cards and he is holding a screen that is touch interactive (you slide the cards in the top for different educational lessons). Along the left of the screen are boxes of colors listed top to bottom (yellow, red, blue, brown, green) and on the right is Oscar the grouch, Cookie monster, Snuffelupucus (sp?), Grover, Elmo, and a small yellow bird that you press to interact. I would really appreciate your help in identifying the toy, my son really loves sesame street and seeing as how I have all of the original cards (and in mint condition) this would be the perfect toy for Christmas for him.; Reply

Doll-Talking Red Ricochet Mouse: My son was given a Christmas present--a talking red plush cowboy mouse in the late 1960s. It was dressed in cowboy-type clothes and had a string on it's back. It said phrases such as "This town ain't big enough for both of us." "I'll go." The doll/mouse was lost during one of our many moves (we were military) and I would really love to buy another for him to share with his own children. I have been looking for several years on ebay and searching the internet. Nothing has ever come up, so I may have the name wrong (Ricochet Mouse) but I believe it was made by Mattel. My other son was given a Drowsy Doll the same Christmas and it was made by Mattel, so I am presuming both of them were Mattel products. I have even searched on the Mattel site with no luck. Does anyone remember this doll? If so, do I have the name correct? I would appreciate any help I can get on this search.; Reply

HANDHELD TOY - STEERING GAME: Sorry for the lousy heading but I'm not sure what genre this toy belongs in. The toy I'm looking for existed in the early to mid 80s, was plastic and I'd guess about the size of a legal pad. It consisted mainly of a printed background image on a spool. It ran on batteries and when one turned it on, the background would scroll. One controlled a small plastic car at the bottom of the toy with a little steering wheel, with the objective being to keep the car on the road printed on the background. (The toy was not electronic at all, so there were no consequences to going "off the road."); Reply

Motorized handheld game from the eighties - spinning tree or barrels: I remember a toy, which I think there were a few in the series, that had a green tree top on a brown trunk and it was attached to a base which spun the tree.

There weren't much bigger than 3 or 4 inches tall... the barrels were small, maybe an inch and were thin in the middle but wide on the ends, like a dumbbell. Anyone? Any clues?

Pink-Kitty doll: HI, I have been looking for a long time to find the kitty plush doll that I loved when I was a kid. It was manufactured in the early to mid 90's. I think it came in different colors, although mine was pink. It was a kitty plush doll with a mirror on one hand and a brush for a tail. The other hand with no mirror, was perfumed, and had the name of the toy on it. It had fuzzy hair on top of the kitty's head so you could brush the hair. Finally, I remember the arms of this doll being extendable....you could pull and release and it would return to normal. Do you have any idea what the name of it is?; Reply

plastic tower toy: I would love to find a toy that I had as a young child in the early 1970's. It was a clear plastic tower that had about four or five levels. The object was to get all of the marbles inside to the different levels. One level had a lever that you spun to get a marble in a little hole. You would then spin the lever until the marble dropped into the level below. I think there was an hourglass timer on the side. The whole toy was about an 18" high rectangle, with four or five white marbles inside. The levers and dials where colored plastic--green, yellow etc. It may have been made by Fisher Price or Playskool. Thank you!; Reply

plush dog w/ leash that walked- looked very real: Can you tell me the name of or link me to a 90s toy; it was a plush dog with weighted legs and a leash? The paws were round and made of a soft plastic/rubber so they resisted when pulled and made the dog look like it was walking. There was a long haired white one and a short haired tan with spots. There were other types too I think. They were probably a foot in length and maybe a little taller than a foot. My daughter had one back in the mid to late 90's.; Reply

possible connectors for blocks tootsie toy: I have aquired a huge bin of Lincoln logs and other building timbers. In with the set were a bunch of brightly painted colored blocks and also a bunch of what appear to be plastic connectors. Some are an H shape others are flat on the bottom with a square indentation on the reverse and some are in the shape of what reminds me of telephone wire spools. They have the name "Tootsie Toy" etched in the plastic. I don't think they go with the Lincoln logs but it is it possible they were sold with the blocks? From the date on The Lincoln Logs paper work.
