    The "identify this classic toy" thread

    Rather than have a dozen or more threads at one time, we implement this as a "Catch All" for toy queries.

    1) Got a bunch of parts in a lot you can't identify? Post them here.

    2) Want to remember a specific fun, childhood item? Write your best possible description here.

    I'll start; I had an orange, 8" Mego-scaled bicycle. I believe it had black rubber tires. I don't think it was a Barbie item. It was too small. Maybe Big Jim? My Megos fit on it well.

    I asked about this when I first joined the museum, and there was on conclusive answer. I'd love to know where this came from!

      Anybody recognize these little things? looks like garbage or something? from what i can make out: a turtle, an apple core, a fish, a bone, slice of pizza with a bite out of it, and some sort of fishy thing maybe?
      really tiny, no idea whats so ever.
      EDIT: Ninja turtle accessories maybe? but they're really small.

      IDENTIFIED: accessories from inside Mutagen Man from the TMNT line. Thank you neogelion
      Cool site talks more about him and other cool TMNT figures here: tmnt

        another small figure. I recognize it, but can't put my finger on it. Was it the driver of those weird dinosaur toys with the little cockpit in the head?

          pizza turtles and garbage would lead me to think something from the TMNT line.

            Sorry Rche, I edited without seeing your post. I can't think of a turtle toy small enough. but it makes the most sense.

              might also be part of a board game of some sort - perhaps even a turtles game if there was ever such a thing.

                Thought about that too, but I don't think my pic really gives the sense of how small they are. The turtle comfortably fits inside the hand of a gi joe.
                But ya never know.

                  My gi joes might be bigger than your gi joes. Are you talking vintage or RAH?
                  If it is RAH then those are really small.

                      The little orange guy reminds me of StarCom. Or maybe one of those other late 80s lines with really tiny figures, like Sky Riders, Air Fighters or something?

                        The turtle pieces go to the clear hollow guy that you would fill with water.

                            Hmmmm.... most Zoids can with a tiny, unposable chrome dude, or later ones with a 3" posable one. He kinda looks like Giant Robo. I've seen Kinder Surprise figures assembeled and jointed similarly, but don't specificly recognize that little guy.

                              those are GREAT size ref pictures. I am now realizing that is a Canadian dime and not a quarter as I originally thought. Silly American
