The "identify this classic toy" thread

[babycyclops]

Yep! I can probably post Wazzits till the cows come home!!!

Judging fron their bases & size, the two small figures, 2nd & 3rd from the left in the second row, look to be Micro Machines figures- Jabba the Hut's translator is one, the other I don't know.

A black Batman cape wouldn't be 70s. Reminds me of the capes the Applause plush and rubber Batman figures had from Batman 89 and Returns.

Hmmm, yeah I though it sorta looked like a black Batman cape and maybe not 70s. Weird, because I found this in a large lot of toys that were all 1970s. I checked out the plush applause and that definitely is not it.....

So I got this octopus for a custom and before I chop it up, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't part of some classic toy line...any help would be most appreciated! The only markings are "made in china" and a crown with the letters "GC" inside of it. The Joe is in there for scale...

Hey all.
Again I post another wazzits. Markings read "1986 Mattel Mexico". The "Guts" displayed infront of the figure were found inside it. Each gut has a number etched on it. So is this a game or an action figure that has nothing to do with the guts displayed???

That's Mad Scientist (Dissect an Alien):

Mad Scientist (Dissect-An-Alien)By Mattel. New In Box | eBay

I had that when I was little and a few other Mad Scientist things.

YOU RULE DEN!!!! It always amazes me at how you guys can figure out these odd toys I run across. In this case. I've been searching for an answer for this one for almost a year!!!

---^ It sure sounds like a Star Wars character.
I couldn't find any matching that description either...

Anybody have any clue about this little doo-dad I just got? It's a little bike with a Seahorse on it. It's in an upright position, you **** the wheel down and ZOOOM it takes off at lightning speed. It looks like 80s or early 90s from the wear. The quality of plastic and decals remind me of M.A.S.K. (which it's obviously not).
I thought it'd be easy to find the line, but have had no luck. So maybe a dime-store discount type toy?
It says SL or SC U.K. Design, no date.

Pretty cute. Any help appreciated.

dime-store discount is right. They were called "Galaxy Riders" and had little knock-off He-Man's riding them.



Again. I had it as a kid.

So this weekend I got a tub full of 80's Gi Joe vehicles...I can figure out almost everything, but there are a few anomolies.......any one have a clue as to what any of this stuff is (except the Joe, he's there for scale)? Thanks in advance!




Oh, and BTW, if you are looking for any Joe vehicle parts, lemme know what you need.....I have a ton of it now.

Those octopi were sold loose tagged in bins. I have several, one I bought at seaworld.
