    He's from a line called Shadow Strikers and changes color in hot water. Shadow Strikers was one of several similar lines by Kenner playing on the success of their M.A.S.K. toy line.

      The bear is from a novelty item more than a toy. I think it was "Spencer's Gifts or Gander Mountain" item. Had a Hunter Guy on a quad and several critters along with the bear (shown). I think the quad and rider were RC and was supposed to hit or avoid the animals.

        anyone know what these orange flippers go to? they are GI Joe size, made of rubber, marked made in Hong Kong but I cannot find them in Desimone's book anywhere
        Those flippers might be from a wind-up or battery powered scuba-diver toy. I had the same problem. Found a scuba set, vest, fins belt and such that I thought was for Big Jim and here none of it fit. Turns out they were pieces to a battery powered scuba toy.

                The bear is called Lock Jaw and is from Bass Pro Shops.

                  Trying to figure out what this building set I had as a kid was.
                  It had plastic pieces that joined together through little slots. It was an actual “building”. You would build the building up then place cardboard window pieces on it with little pegs that were built into the slotted/frame pieces.

                    Only set I can think of is the one where you had these plastic "girders" that you assembled into a building...It even had an outside elevator that when up and down...But the set didn't have "walls" for the building, it was just the girders...I think the same company did a bridge set too...I don't know if this is the set you're thinking of though...

                      Thank you it was definitely a “girder and panels” set. I guess I remembered wrong. The panels weren’t cardboard but a flimsy plastic that stuck on the sides.

                        I had a girder and panel set specifically for my Mattel Godzilla to destroy.

                          I also had the Girders & Panels set. Had lots of fun with it until the holes started to wear out and the panels wouldn't stay on.

                              If I had to guess, I'd say those are parts to a battery operated submarine model kit from the 1970s, plus maybe a few miscellaneous pieces from other kits. Any markings?

                                the only ones I see are on the black pieces. now I have to go look and see what they say. the cylinders are for batteries, the angle shaft off the motor is odd. More than likely 60s since the rest of the lot was all 60s Joe and Buddy Charlie
