Action figure - Jingle All The Way
In the movie Jingle All The Way Turboman has a sidekick named Booster. is there anywhere to buy Booster? Also was a Booster figure ever created?
Action Figures and Cartoon
I want to find an action figure that had a cartoon in the 80's or early 90's. They were men that had backpacks and/or wrist mount equipment that shot out ribbons and string that they would fly across. The ones with backpacks would have the ribbon come out of the back pack. They flew over lava in the cartoon and always trying to fight the villians. They also had a verticle space ship that seemed to cling to rock face. This was their mother ship. Any ideas.
Activity Game
Do you know of a game that involved stacking shaped barrels befor the time was up? You used a vertical ball drop. The little ball went down a maze in a dropping action as you tried to stack up the shaped barrels before the ball ran into them? At the end you closed a small gate to stop the little ball. I remember this from probably the late 1970's.
Activity/Craft Kit
Approximately 1972-1977, my sister and I had a craft kit made up of small plastic discs, each with four holes in it. Little plastic clips were included to hook the discs together and make things like a purse or a poncho. We made a poncho. I think the discs were mostly yellow and orange, maybe white or red too. What was the kit called, and can I still find one somewhere?
Aircraft Carrier - 1970s
In the mid 70s, I received a toy aircraft carrier for christmas. It was about 3 feet long. It came with two foam F4U Corsairs. You could hook the planes on to the catapult, then using a handle on the deck, taxi and launch the airplane into the air. It flew pretty well; about 30-40 feet. What was this toy called and who made it?
AIRCRAFT CARRIER-FOAM RUBBER LAUNCHABLE PLANES (F4U-CORSAIRS)
In the mid 1970's, I had a large aircraft carrier (3ft. long). You were able to launch the planes from two different locations (straight ahead & on an angle) just as a real carrier launches it's planes. The planes launched via a large rubber band. Each launch area had a seperate handle to pull back, which relesed the planes. Any help on the toy manufacturer, the name of the carrier or if there are any out there for purchase would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, KA-Michigan.
Airplane - Rubber Band Launched Semisoft Foam
Mattel made a toy plane launcer in the late 70's. Through extensive web research I found the patent (US patent number 4060930). Unfortunatly I can't remember what name this was marketed under. I remember there were all sorts of planes; American, Soviet, etc. madefrom a semisoft foam with hard plastic undercarrige which was the hook for the launcher and wheels for the plane. At one point in addition to the single and double hand held launchers they also had an aircraft carrier type launcher. Scoured ebay with no success but figured a product name might help target my search. Letters to Mattel have had no response.
Alien Action Figure(s)
Around 1970 my brother and I had a couple alien action figures, which I've been trying to track down. Mine was about 4" tall, might have been bendy, and was a martian. My brothers was a little taller (maybe 5 1/2"), and was purple (I think) and had a kind of octopus head on a biped body. There may have been other alien figures in the set. Any idea what these were, who manufactured them? I've been wondering about it for the last 30yrs or so, as I lost mine in the snow in the early 70s.

arm-powered ride on toy
About 1978 or 1979, I received a toy that I want to share with my son, but can't recall the name of it. It was a red disc that you sat on just off the floor. It had 2 large black wheels that sat on either side of the rider. (You actually sat between the wheels) They were powered by turning their handles with your hands. You could turn them together and go straight, or just one to go in a perfect circle. Can you help me. I've looked everywhere. Thanks so much for your time and expertise. - Elizabeth
Art toy
There was a sketch toy in the late 70's early 80's that i'm lookig for. You were able to interchange a head, torso, and legs of multiple creatures, heros, and monsters. You would rub a crayon over a plastic template to design your own creature. Do you remember the name of this toy? I found the fashion one for my daughter in a retro toy catalog and am interested in the monster one for my son. Thanks, Mike.

Battery Moving Exploding War Ship & submarine with 4 spring loaded torpedo
During late 60's or sometime in 70's - Battleship was battery powered and had a spring like a mouse trap on it and several pieces ontop of it that when you hit the release on the ship side; they spring let go and all the pieces flew in the air. You would target the moving ship with a stationary (had wheels) spring loaded 4 torpedo submarine with 4 push button torpedo release buttons on the rear of the submarine with tiny red globe knobs on top; I simply cant find it though I saw something similar on ebay with a single torpedo by the looks of it. This toy may be from the 50's as I can't recall if it was mine or my older brothers. It sure would be great to find some info on it. I thought it may be called battleship or torpedo or uboat for some reason but I think I have the name wrong.

Car - Race Track
Back in the mid 70's i got a racing car christmas present. It was an oval track with banked corners. There was a lap counter which operated by an anntenae which you could place on the car in 1 of 4 places. The car was rechargable by charging station. The charging station had i believe 4 d cell batteries. You pushed the top of what looked like a mini fuel pump and plugged into the car with a small black wire sorta looked like a small rca jack. The cars would just race around the track (not a slot track) and when it got to the lap counter it narrowed to one lane so the antenna would hit the lap counter. Its driving me crazy that i cant remember what it was called and why they dont make it anymore. please help

Carboard barbie doll house
Santa brought me a Barbie Dream House for Xmas in either 1961, 1962. 1963.

The front of it had a door, a bird flying on it and a lamp post with a sign with a house number on it. It had a kitchen with a pink counter, stools, and a bedroom with pink bed and a patio set with grill and lounge chair. Can you tell me where I can purchase one in good condition? Where I can see a photo of one? I have checked on Ebay and only found one without furnishings - and just photos of the outside of the box. Thanks. Linda

Construction - Western town sawmill
In the late 70's or early 80's I had a toy that resembled a sawmill. You fed wooden planks into it and it ripped them lengthwise. You then used the planks to construct the surrounding western town. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. Does this sound familiar?

During the mid to late 1970s, I played with a wooden block set that had the same sqaure base (about 1/4 inch) with different incremental lengths (eg. size 1 was a cube, and size 10 and 10 times the length of 1) and different color for each different length. I now have children (7 and 10) of my own, and I've searched unsuccessfully for this on my own. The Kapla blocks are the closest I've seen, but they dont have that math/spatial element. Pls help or refer me to more sources, please!

Doll/Toymaker's Mark

The impressed mark on the back of the shoulder area is of a capital "H" in what appears to be a house...simply two sides, a floor and a roof line...the "H" is inside this simple structure. Thanks for any help you can give me on the manufacturer, age and value. (the arms and legs have come off their elastic and I'm trying to decide if it is worth restoring)

doll--plush pink with attached cap
My daughter got her small (8inches?) plush baby doll in 1987 or 1988. The doll had an embroidered face (no nose). She had no visible hair, just a brimmed cap. She looked like she was wearing pink pajamas--arms, legs, body; hands and feet were white--looked more like socks and mittens. She also rattled when she was new. We lost her almost 15 years ago, but have never quit looking for her. I know that the same doll also came in blue. Does anyone anywhere know of a doll like this? (I believe she was also quite inexpensive, so could have been from anywhere and made by anyone.

Doll-Rosie/Rosie?
Hello. I have a doll, named "Rosie/Rosey." The name, was written by the manufacturer on her collar. It has now faded, so I do not know the correct spelling. I was born in 1982, and believe I was given the doll as a present, upon birth. However, it could have been a gift in my early years. The entire doll is pink, comprised of a Styrofoam head, yarn-ish material for hair, a pink dress with small pink and blue polka dots, and a small apron with pink roses embroidered on it. The face, arms and legs are comprised of a thick nylon (I believe) material. Is there any hope in finding the correct name, make, and manufacturer? Thank You.
Dolls - Lullaby (Lovaby?) - 1980s
Hi Team, My girlfriend was recently talking about a doll she had as a child in the 80s. It was called a Lullaby or Lovaby Doll and it had a rocking horse that came with it (apparently purple). I've found one that looks like it, however she tells me there were a few in the series that you could collect with different accessories, which is why I'm not sure it's the one I've found on eBay. Does anyone know what this doll was called and if it is in fact the same one from the 80s? Thanks.

ELECTRONIC GAME - 1980s(?) - PLASTIC DISKS/RECORDS
I had a toy when I was a child and for the life of me, I can't remember what it was called or who made it (maybe Mattel or Fisher Price?)! I can remember it was a tanish electronic box with sheets that would fit on top, to change out different games, and these small plastic disks that went into a slot on the side. It would play sounds and you would have to press on the sheets in specific places to play. I know this isn't the world's best description, but it's been 20 years! I know there was a haunted house game, and a game to search for a dog in different colored houses... any ideas, or am I completely out of luck trying to recall a memory from my past?

Giraffe - wobbly legged, plastic toy
I am looking to find a toy that my mother has had ever since I was a child (born in 1984, but I think she had this before then) that she owned, up until recently when my dad threw it out (she was sooooo upset!). It was a plastic giraffe, no more than 5 or 6 inches high (maybe less) that stood straight up, until you pressed on the little box it was standing on. When you did this, it became flexible almost - like it had wobbly legs or something to that affect. Depending on where/how you pressed on the box it was standing on, you could make the neck move down like it was grazing, or the front two legs to bend, or the entire giraffe could bend to the side, etc. I would love to surprise my mom by finding this toy for her. If you know what it's called or where I could get one I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Dana~

gyro top toy
Looking for a toy from early to mid 80's...(?)I believe there were two in the box...one larger, they were primary red and blue with a yellow ripcord. You fed the cord into the gear, pulled and let the top go; I think the point was to balance one top on the other; there may have been three, of decreasing size. There was no deck for the tops, these were not beyblades. You just set the base down, and tried to rip, spin and stack the tops. THese were not small toys; they were of considerable size. I don't remember the mechanism by which the tops launched, but you fed and pulled cord, and tops launched. The spinning points were metal, and somewhat large in diameter. The box was relatively large; similar to a paper quart of milk, but with a flat folding flap top. The actual tops were like two concentric circles with gear teeth sandwiched between, where you fed the rip cord...not like a traditional top. HELP! You are much appreciated! Thank you, Kathryn

Ladybug Pull Toy, Wood, 1940's
My mom had a wooden ladybug pull toy on metal wheels when she was a young child in the mid 1940's. She thinks it was probably made between 1938 and 1944. She had kept it in a box to keep forever as it was a sentimental item. However, during her teenage years, her boy crazy gave all of my mom's old toys (the few she had) away to a neighbor girl to get in good with her older brother. My mom did not know this until years later and is still sad not to have that ladybug. I was wondering if there is any way to find out what it was so I can start looking for it. Thanks, Laural.

light board- using cellophane tape
In the early 70's I rember playing with a light box with a plastic or glass screen, and you stuck tape to it. Every piece refracted a certain color and overlapped would even be different than the others. It was some sort of prism effect, but I haven't seen anything like it since. A light bright is always a substitution, but it was so simple and cool. Please tell me you've heard of such a thing and know where to get one. Thank you.
Light sensitive plush bear - 80s
I had a bear-like small plush toy in the mid-80's. It had light brown fur and a blue cape. It was nearly round about the size of a basketball with a place for a 9volt battery in the back. When you turned the lights on or off it would make a little beeping noise and the LED eyes and nose would blink. It would sort of remind someone of an Ewok, possibly. I've since given my toys away and no one in the family can remember what it was called.

During the early to mid-1970's I visited a kid's house and they had a toy I loved. It was a clear, plastic rectangle shape with four or five compartments.

Any idea on what this thing was called? I'd love to find it again. I only played with it once and still have fond memories of it nearly 30 years later.

Metal wind up Toy Boat
The 'Princess Pat' was a wind up metal cabin cruiser produced by J. Chein & Co. It was named for me by my grandfather, Sam Hoffman, then President of J.Chein & Co.(Burlington, NJ), and was launched in 1956. I'm looking for one of these approximately 5" long, brightly lithographed toy cabin cruisers,in good condition. If you know of a vintage toy dealer(s)who sells J.Chein & Co. products, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thousands of these little boats once bobbed and cruised in the bathtubs of Baby Boomers. But now they seem scarce, and I'm having a difficult time finding'my'boat, a lost, but I hope recoverable, piece of my childhood. Thanks for any help.

When I was a child in the 1960's I had a toy airplane that was metal and around 15 inches long. It used a D battery and when you turned it on it had a propellor that turned very fast. it had three buttons on it.
