    That is what I am most curious about.

    101- Part of Millenium Falcon (not sure what version of the toy though, but I recognize what its supposed to be)
    146 Might be one of the hats to either Cletus, Enos, or Roscoe in the 3-3/4" Dukes of hazard line (I can't recall if any of the hats other than Boss Hog's were removable)

    Several various pieces in there go to GI Joe (most certainly #102) but I don't know exactly, they just seem very familiar. They one that is gonna keep me up tonight is #95. I know I had this piece as a kid. It was from some smaller set (perhaps the "Army Gear" Flashlight. But there were two of those pieces to the set and they held up a landingpad or something like that. Very faint memory, but it will likely come to me eventually. Hope that helps...
    Looking for:

    --Lion Rock "Mr Rock's" shoes/ boots (these may also be the same as the lion rock monster line boots)

    --Mystery Astronaught

      The centaur guy is marked "Warner Bro.s 2002"


      The Centaur figure is from Harry Potter:

      J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone Deluxe Magical Creature 9-inch action figure - Firenze the Centaur, from the film adaptation




      The purple monster in the cage is marked "ARCO no date"


      The caged purple monster is a Boglin:

        Got it. I was right. #95 was from the "Army Gear" flashlight set.



        It is tiny (only picture I could find with a quick Google search) which makes me wonder how common are these sets? But if you look closely at the flashlight in it's open extended form, you can just make out the support strut there.

              I hope someone here can help me...I've been going crazy trying to figure out what the name of a toy from my youth is.

              When I was younger (late 70's to mid 80'sish), my grandparents used to have a few different handheld water toys. They had a couple of Wunderfall toys (squish the button to squirt water/air and try to get the rings on the poles/balls in the basket/whatever), which, using the power of Google, I was able to figure out, identify, and I've got one proudly displayed on my desk at work.

              They *also* had a goldfish-like water toy that's a bit harder to explain.

              The toy itself was a goldfish bowl, sealed and full of water, with a hoop on a pole stuck in the bottom (think "ring of fire" for lions at the circus), and a floating mechanical fish that looked somewhat like an orange angel fish.

              The fish floated by itself, and when you pushed the button (ala a Waterfuls game), the fish would flick its tail to one side and sink. When you let go, it'd float back up. By actuating the button, you could make the fish swim around, with the apparent object to get the fish to swim *through* the hoop in the middle.

              I've tried and tried and tried to figure anything out about this game...the vendor that created it, the name of it...anything, to no avail. I was starting to think I'd imagined the entire thing until talking about it at work when around three of my co-workers all recognized the same toy.

              Does anyone know what I'm talking about, or, better yet, the name of the toy? I'd love to have one for my desk, to help remind me of better times in the past.

                    Awesome stegosaurus skeleton dinosaur transforming egg toy thing

                    So when I went home over break I found this awesome transforming toy I had, but I have no clue what it is (and I'm dying to know.) I unfortunately have no clues, and there are no visible markings on it. I've Googled around a bunch and I can't find it.




                    (images mirrored here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tzpspktm02rzau3/eZFLTUh5Fr )

                    And in case it's not clear from the photos, it opens along the spine and everything flips in/out.

                    So, does anyone have any ideas? Huge thanks and a million Internet points to anyone who does :-)

                        Thanks, it's very very close, but not quite it. (E.g., mine can't stand up like that.) I also found that one at this link:


                        Maybe "Distortion Dinosaur" is the brand though...

                          Number 7 is one of four corner posts from a Rock'em sock'em robots set. It must be a re-issue though because the originals were yellow.

                            I just picked this up at an auction today in a big box lot of Soakies. Anyone have a clue if where it came from. It does say Universal Pictures on the lower back.

                              I want it. You've got a Jaymar (that's the manufacturer) Frankenstein's Monster Tricky Walker, missing everything including nearly all of its paint. Still a very cool thing to find, and an uncommon toy. Sent you a PM about it, as monsters are my thing.

                              Edit: Here's a link to a current ebay auction of the Huckleberry Hound version and you can see the instructions on the back of the box:

                              Edit: sent you a couple of PMs with an offer, never heard back. Would appreciate it, thanks. S
