    Anyone have any clue?

    Looks familiar, but can not place it. Blow molded.

      I am trying to identify a dime store toy from my childhood in the 1970s. The toy was a floppy rubbery figure that was part of a line of similar figures that were about 5-6 inches long. My figure was in the dress of a butler (wearing blue tails) running with a tray holding a bottle and wine glass. I remember another figure was a tennis player. All figures were of the same older, balding (British-looking) gentleman with white mustache, just in different molded costumes. The figures were not very thick but the arms and legs were spread out to show wild motion, especially since the figures flopped when you suspended them from a suction cup that was connected by a thread that pierced the old gent's head. I remember these figures were sold near the poopatroopers and bend 'ems because it was always difficult to choose which to buy. Anyone else have memories of these?

        This store has the butler and the tennis player jigglers for only $7 each.

            The cars are from 1970s Captain Crunch cereal.

                It looks like a Bible figure.

                  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.

                  Do you know which company made a toy bird that really flew and flapped it's wings? It was awesome and forgotten in time.

                  Also, what are the possible choices for 'matchbox' size metal spaceships with little plastic seats?

                  Who made those hard green and yellow balls that clanged together on a string?

                  Was it Marx that made non-movable small blue knights and fire elementals?

                  What manufacturer made vintage plastic spartan miniatures for museums?

                  That is most of what I have not identified in toys.

                  Thanks!

                    AIRFIX made a flying bird toy in the early/mid 70's.

                    TOOTSIETOY made die cast/plastic 'matchbox-type' spaceships in the 70's.

                    Who made those hard green and yellow balls that clanged together on a string?

                    Various toy companies made Clickety-Clacks.

                      Fantastic and interesting!

                      It's good to explore these toys.

                      Thanks.

                      Oh! Updated Information:


                      I was just inside the 80's playset thread.

                      I remember the gargoyles and ogres so the blue knights
                      should come from these beauties:



                      Looks like the fire creatures too.

                      Reminds me of Godzilla playset, anyone have a picture of it's box cover?


                      I should get a good camera and produce a photo book of all these toys, complete with fold-outs. The collector books don't cut it. (like Trek price-guides)

                          I think it's Dynagirl the female part of the Dynaman toyline. It was a Gijoe type figure from 1970s.
