1969 Tootsie toy: Hi. I would like to get some information on the tootsie toy that I recently purchased. It is marked 1969 and it is green with the number 92 written on the front. It also has a hook coming out of the front of the car and purple plastic wheels.

1970's Teddy Bear: One of my favorite childhood toys was a small, brown teddy bear that I'd had since around 1971. I gave it away when I was in my early teens and have regretted it ever since. As best as I can recall, it was around 12" tall and made of an unknown brown material to simulate fur. It had a bell in one ear and I think a thin red mouth, but I'm not sure about that. I am hoping that a teddy bear expert might be able to identify the bear and provide me with some information or, perhaps, locate another one. I have a pipcture with my beloved brown bear when I was a toddler (around 1971 or 1972). I also have pictures of a bear that I bought on eBay is very much like my old bear. The eyes are exactly the same, but the body doesn't seem right. Since the eyes are the same, I'm guessing that my old bear and this one were made by the same company. Unfortunately, there is no tag on the eBay bear. I have seen several other bears like this one on eBay and they didn't have tags either. This is quite a mystery!; Reply

1980's Stuffed dog w/ striped hat and shirt: Hi! Somewhere in the early 80's (I was born in 83), I received a stuffed dog that I called "Baby Doggy."

ACTION FIGURE - 1970s TO 1980s: This has been driving me crazy for years. I always saw these toys on the top shelf and i never gtambled on them because i thought that they would always be there. one figure was some strange android with a chrome silver body and a green head. Another character was a Darth Vader wanna with a round black helmet, black cape and silver robot like features on the face. I remember being jealous of this toy whenmy friend got one because it featured better articulation than the twelve inch Darth Vader I had at the time. This guy was about eight inches tall, and articulated like the megos. I thought maybe Buck Rogers or Battlestar Galactica....but I have no....this was something else.

battery operated toy from '80s: In the '80s, I bought a toy at an airport gift shop. The base was about 10" sq. It was a freeway with little cars, maybe an inch long.

colored plexiglass interlocking building toy: When I was growing up in the seventies we had this great set of colored transparent plexiglass flat squares with a single notch centered on each side. They were primary and secondary colors. Each square was about 2"x2" (or maybe a bit bigger)and maybe 1/16" thick. The flat squares interlocked and you could make all kinds of three dimensional structures with them. The structures were very beautiful because the colors would overlap one another and make new colors - yellow and red would make orange for example. I do not remember what they were called and I wondered if they are still available. They came in a styrofoam tray where all the squares could be neatly put away and I think we had even saved the box over the years. I'd appreciate some help identifying and finding this toy. Thanks.

Dice Game (similar to Shut the Box): In approx. 1973 I had a small, handheld (possibly a "travel game"?) that consisted of a clear, plastic, flat-topped "dome" with (I believe) blue flaps encircling it. The whole unit was perhapd 6 inches across and 4 in. thick. On the flaps were the numbers 1-9. Inside the dome was a pair of miniature dice. To play, one shook the game, rolling the dice, and then flipped down combinations of the numbered flaps, adding the numbers on them together, to total whatever number the dice had rolled. This is similar to the way one plays Canoga/Tric-Trac/Shut the Box, but for the life of me I cannot remember the name of this game, or it's maker.

Doll - Plush with plastic face: I had a doll in the late 60's or early 70's whose name was Algy. So named because he was the first hypoallergenic doll that the company (whose name I do not know) ever made. I'm not sure I spelled his name correctly. He had a greenish-gray plush body with a plastic face. He was either a bear or dog or maybe even a pig. He had green eyes that moved and a cute little mouth that sort of smiled. His eye lashes were real-looking. His "fur" was not very fluffy and he had a stubby tail. I still have one - sort of. His body has been replaced and I would love to find another one.

GAME - ELECTRONIC - 1970s: Trying to find 1970s Mechanical Electronic Game featuring a Red Plane with Magnet in its baseTrying to find 1970s Mechanical Electronic Game featuring a Red Plane with Magnet in its base. This has been driving me crazy for years now. I keep checking eBay, Wikipedia and even here and have searched Google using every combination of words that I could think of to explain what I'm looking for but to no avail. Here's the description. From what I remember, it was a black electronic/mechanical game along the lines of Tomy's BLiP or Hit-and-Missile (also called Missile Strike) and featured a plastic grid on its face where you moved aound red plane on a magnetic base. There was some button and knob that moved a magnetic 'switch' around under the board and when you hit a button, if the switch was under the plane, it lit up with sounds. Now I can't be exactly sure that description is 100 since it was three decades ago let alone the fact that I didn't own it... the neighbors did... but I was fascinated by the concept of what it did (mechanically, not game-play-wise) and would love to at least find out more about it.; Reply

Jumping Dog with Sticky Food Bowl: For whatever reason this childhood toy has stuck in my memory and I would love to find it. This toy is from the early 50's. My dad bought it at the Cleveland Hopkins Airport gift shop. It was a dog that to the best of my recollection looked like Goofy or Pluto. The legs and neck were spring loaded and there was a "food" plate that came with it. The "food" was tacky. You would secure the bowl and then push the dogs nose into the bowl thereby sticking his nose to the tacky surface. At this point you would patiently watch until the nose was released from the tacky surface and the spring loaded legs caused the dog to jump into the air and do a flip. The surprise was jack-in-the-box like and it created hours of enjoyment. Any ideas as to what it was called, who made it or where I could find one? I would be very grateful for any assistance.; Reply

Plush Bear: Hi there.I got this teddy bear in 1990 when I was born. It was a gift of my moms best friend. After so many years, it went thru a lot of stuff, and my grandma had to sew it back another body. She had to do that about 3 times now. Originally it was wearing a blue/white plaid kinda dress. It looks like a mouse or a bear, but I never really got what animal it suppose to be. I always call it bunny cause it was my first word. Right now it looks grey, but originally it was a really light pink. It has brown with black eyes, an orange triangle nose, inside the ears are the colors yellow, light green/blue, and purple. It's funny cause it never had a mouth I think, But then again right under the nose you see a red dot. I think that was a part of the mouth. I'm really attached to this teddy bear. And I was wondering who made it and if I can get one just like it still? This might be really important too. I'm from Belgium, Europe, so that's were the teddy bear came from. Please help me out with this one. It means a lot to me. Thank You for your help.; Reply

PLUSH TOY - RAINBOW PATTERNED DOG/RABBIT: I found your website several years ago during my first foray to try and find any information about a pair of toys I had. While I didn't find any information then, and eventually gave up, I've returned to the search once more. The two toys are plush rabbits that could also be dogs. They have a rainbow pattern on their stomach, and on the underside of their ears. The one I call Mister Rainbow, I was given first, during the late eighties (post 1986), and is brown. Several years later, my grandmother gave my sister the second (around 1993)- though my sister didn't take to it, and I ended up with it. It is grey, and shows evidence of newer construction methods- the nose is a different plastic grade then Mister Rainbow's, and more detailed- and it also has a red felt tounge. I've been trying to find the origin of these toys for a long time, but nobody seems to recognize them.; Reply
Plush toy (1970's Gray Mouse, Sad Face): My wife had a stuffed gray mouse with a sad face she got just after her mom died in 1978. It had been in good condition until this morning when our 7 month old German Shepherd decided to chew the face off trying to get the plastic nose off. My wife doesn't have a lot from her childhood that was good but this was the one thing that got her through many terrible events in her life. The mouse was gary with pink on the front of the ears. The head seemed to be more fuzzy than the rest of the body but it may have been from holding. The face was sad and it had a tear drop I believe. She said it had a pink apron like dress when she got it but it got lost in all the military moves. (Military Brat) I would love to replace it for her even though it would not be the same one. She was very heart broken and cried for a long time when she saw it. She even mentioned getting rid of the dog who is her baby before she thought about it longer. Any help would be appreciated.Thank You, Matthew. P.S.It was washed so many times the only tag we can read anything on says Made in Korea.; Reply
