He's smiling without showing any teeth. I don't know if he was sold individually or as part of a set. I can't remember if he was some sort of a premium or purchased in a store. There are piercing on several places on his backside which seem to have been made in manufacturing. Can anyone tell me where to buy one of these or even how to identify it? I've tried eBay, internet, etc. Thanks.

CARDBOARD SUBMARINE/ PLAYHUT - 1966
In approximately 1966, I received a submarine that was a precursor to today's playhuts, as the sub was at least several feet long and the children would physically climb inside to play. The sub had a hatch with a periscope and torpedo tubes that fired rubber band propelled plastic torpedoes from the sides.I believe the sub was made of cardboard or a similar material. I was wondering if you could provide some background information on the genre of toys and that toy in particular. Additionally, I was wondering if anything similar is available today beyond the standard playhuts.

COWBOY QUICKDRAW INTERACTIVE GAME
I'm trying to locate to purchase a toy/game from approximately 1979-1981. The item as I recall it is a 7-9\" figure of a cowboy that stood erect on top of a plastic boxstand. The figure came with a toy pistol so that a child could quickdraw against the action figure. The figure had a lens on his chest and the "six shooter" for the player, would shoot a beam of light (like a flash bulb) at the cowboy. If the cowboy won the quickdraw he would state something like "got 'ya", if the child made the shot first the figure would collapse on top of the stand (wire joints). The game could then be reset causing the figure to stand erect for another round of gunfighting. I have fond memories of this game from childhood and would like to find one (or two)to purchase. I can't recall the actual name of the figure/game or the maker. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

DOLLHOUSE THAT TURNED INTO AN ORANGE
I'm trying to find out the name of a series of dollhouses I had back in the early 80's. I think the origin of the dollhouse where Japanese. They were very detailed and the characteristic of the dollhouse was that it could turn into a big orange. It was all made out of plastic and the big round orange was sitting on a green plastic base and had a small orange car as well. Inside the Orange house there were small panda-like figures.When you opened the house (where you had to press a button and the front lid was coming down) inside the orange there was a two storey flat. The kitchen was downstairs and the bedroom upstairs. The colors were all pastel.In front of the house there was a garden and a picnic table with yellow plastic dishes. I remember there were other dollhouses in the same series and another one was a transformable tree house where small plastic squirrels where living inside. That's all I can remember. I would appreciate your help in remembering those sweet memories!

MICKEY MOUSE INFLATABLE DOLL
I found a 20" plastic inflatable Mickey Mouse doll when cleaning out my Dad's home. He has a yellow shirt, white gloves, red pants and blue shoes. He also has a small yellow bird perched on his left hand. "Mickey Mouse" is written in red across the bottom of his shirt and "Walt Disney Productions" is on his back - with part of another phrase ". . . Toy Company". From research, I'm guessing it's the Ideal Toy Company, but the first word is cut off at the seam of Mick's pants. He also has a small plastic ring on the top of his head - so that he may be suspended with a string. I have checked everywhere and the only reference I find to Mickey "inflatable" are "pixies". My Mickey can stand on his own - using his long curled tail. Any ideas, Dr. Toy, or is this question going to be the challenge of your career? Thanks.

I bought it at Target between 2003-2005. It was an orange school bus with graffiti or writing on the sides. It was a little bit bigger than a Hot Wheels car (I'm thinking that's who made it) and had monster truck wheels on it. I've looked on eBay and couldn't find it. If I could even find out what it was called that would help me out a lot. Thanks.

MR. PENCIL
When I was a baby, circa 1986, I had a plush pencil toy, it had a face on it and was shaped like a pencil and stuffed, somewhere around 12 inches long. I have no idea who the manufacturer was or when it actually came out but internet searches have not yielded any results so if anyone knows anything about Mr. Pencil and where I can get one, I'd greatly appreciate it. thanks!
MUSIC BOX/ BANK
In the late 1940's early 1950's my Mother purchased a "Ideal" Jukebox from either the Jewel Tea Company or the Raleigh Company. It is 5 3/4 in tall, 4 in wide, has Ideal stamped with "patent applied for", plays "Mary Had A Little Lamb" Over the years the Yellow "grill" has come off and been lost, do you know of anyway I could refurbish this piece? This is very sentimental for me as my Mother, paid it out over several visits from the door to door salesman as a Birthday gift to me. Thank You, Janet

MYSTERY PLUSH ANIMAL LATE 80'S EARLY 90'S
I am looking for a stuffed animal I got when I was young probably late 80's early 90's. It was a stuffed animal and you pulled the ears out of the head to see if it was a bunny, bear, or cat I believe. And you rubbed water on the nose to make a symbol appear. The animal also wore a diaper. Thanks; Amanda
NERF GUN
I am looking for a Nerf gun ( I think, it was a toy gun, that fired sponge or plastic disks) that was made for transformers in the 80's-early 90's.

ORIGINAL MICRO MACHINES
In the early 70's I had what appeared to be an original Micro Machine. It was made by ideal toy co. Hong Kong,1971. The interesting feature of this tiny car is that it came attached to a round base with a clear dome on top which doubled as a magnifier bubble. It is very detailed and appears to be made better than the later micro machines that became popular in the 80's and 90's. Do you recall what these tiny cars were called and the history of them. I believe Ideal later merged with Galoob (maker of the later micro machines) did they not? Thanks for your time.

RING TOY
When I was really little, my parents bought me a toy that I loved. I'm guessing this was in the late 80s or early 90s. It was a plastic toy. a white sort of staff for the toys to sit on and on it was a series of plastic rings. A red one, blue one, green one, yellow, etc. The red was the largest plastic ring and as the rainbow progressed the rings got smaller. It was like a tower of plastic rainbow rings.

RUBBER ELEPHANT OR MOUSE
I played with a small rubber elephant or perhaps a mouse back in the late 60's or early 70's and am trying to find out anything I can about it. To my best recollection, it was made of soft but firm, pliable solid rubber that was of a light brownish color. It seems like the features were imprinted in the rubber but not painted in any way.

TEDDY BEAR AND MONKEY SOFT TOYS
If I sent a pic along with a description are you able to help me locate the makers of my 40 year olds USA Teddy and Monkey? Regards Tracy
TEDDY BEAR ID AMERICAN?
I'm writing to ask for some advice in trying to locate the manufacture and any irrelevant information of my toys. I have a "Little Ted" and "Monkey" and "Big Ted". Little Ted and Monkey were purchased by my mother from Invercargill, New Zealand in 1960. At the time she was told by the shop manager that the bear and monkey were each, one of the three ever to be made. Whether this was a "Selling prompt" or not I'm not sure of? they were made in America some where? They both cost a reasonable amount though my mother can't remember the exact amount only that there were 'a lot at the time" Little Ted, has been recovered in the mid 1980's. The colors are the same and his original "fur" is still intact underneath. His face is made of a firm feeling plastic with eyes that have hair like eyelashes (minus the ones I plucked out as a child) His eyes open and shut when he is put into different positions. Ted's nose was painted black, but wore off and afraid to say- a Black vivid marker pen came to the rescue as a child to make a new nose for him. Opps! I think his tongue was red also from memory. Ted's arms, legs and head can all swivel around in full 360 degrees. He has 4 black paws, and inner ears with a lovely honey golden fur covering. He is approx 48 cm tall. With an awful hump shaped back. I have been in contact with a woman in the USA over the internet, whose mother brought her one of these teddy bears in Ohio 1957. They are supposed to be made from allergy free materials and were marketed as this. Unfortunately her ex husband threw him out in spite. Monkey is all Original to my knowledge thou I cant remember if he had ears or not??? He has white/ cream colored fur. Plastic face firm to feel but softer that Little Ted's. Painted eyes Green with black pupils, 2 little nostrils and a happy smiling red mouth. Monkey's head and 4 limbs can swivel in a 360 degree also. His hands and feet have stitching to form a thumb, and 3 digits. Approx 20 -23ish cm tall. Big Ted was also bought in Invercargill in the early 1960"s. Big Ted is completely original too. He has Black inner ears, and 4 paws. His eyes are round plastic (look like they are pinned stuck in the fabric) orange color with large black pupils. His black woolen nose has stitching that in vertical with the mouth stitch being just 1 strand caught in under the nose to form a mouth shape. All of Big Ted is formed as 1 with no moving limbs. He does growl when tipped forward from a laying position. The growler is located at the top of his back (between his shoulders) Big Ted is approx 75cm tall. Unfortunately none of my toys have any identification left on them to tell me where they were made etc. Hoping that you can help? Kind Regards, Tracy.

TOY CAR MID- 70'S

It was a 'stock' looking car about 1/18th scale (for some reason I though mine was a Ford Maverick) - when you pushed a button on the car the wheelbase expanded and a race engine and other drag cue sprouted from the spring-loaded body. You would squeeze the car from the ends to get it back to stock - Any ideas?? Thanks.

TWIZZLING STICK - YELLOW WITH RED ENDS! MID 1980'S
Please help - I remember having hours of fun when I was younger - mid 1980's - it was a stick, about a meter long, yellow in color with a red ball (about golf ball sized) on either end. There was a piece of fishing wire attached to the middle of the stick, and the aim was to twizzle it around your head and legs! I did myself no end of damage, as the red balls on the end were really heavy! I would love somebody to tell me what it was really called and who made them. Please Help!
TYPHOON TOY CAR
Sometime in the mid-90's, I had a toy car called the "Typhoon". It was shaped like a LeMans racecar, but the outside was clear plastic, so you could see the axles and moving parts underneath. You could pull out missile racks that looked like skinny wings on either side of the car, and colored plastic "laser guns" on the front. The rear spoiler would pop up and turn into a turret with missile. The 2"-3" action figure that came with it would change color in cold water; specifically, it would become transparent. The only part of the back-story that I remember was that the cars and people were transparent because they were "radar-invisible". I can't find any mention of this toy anywhere. Anybody recognize the description?

The bear it's self is yellow, green and purple.His head is yellow with white around his nose and mouth and with the right ear green and the left purple. his stomach is the same as his ears right green left purple. His back just the opposite along with the legs and arms right side purple left side green. He's also wearing a little blue bow tie. There's also a key on his lower back where you wined him up and he plays music.
