    Anybody know what character this is? I believe it's an 80's kiddie ride based on a Japanese character.

    Any help appreciated!

    Just found it I think, Sato-Chan pharmacy mascot.

      Anybody knows if this sort of backpack is from an old line of Matchbox figures?

      You all have a great weekend!

              I saw a figure at the thrift yesterday, and thought that I put it in my bag of stuff to buy, but didnt have it when I got home. Its gonna kill me trying to Id it (without having the figure), so while I know it's a long shot here goes.

              3 3/4 inch
              old school articulation, arms head and legs move. no bendable elbows or knees.
              The character would be a male alien.
              very similar to Tars Tarkas from the new John Carter movie.
              was blue skinned, and only had 2 arms (not 4).
              had tusks coming out of his face.
              very skinny arms and legs.
              I recall it was dated from late 90's.
              I don't recall the maker.
              It could have been Star Wars character that I'm not familiar with.

              anybody?

                ---^ 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.

                  There's a Voltron character that looked like that. I'll see if I can find a picture later.

                  It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        The centaur is from Narnia.
                        Fred is a cereal premium (an erasure?)
                        Boglins knock-off (originally made by Mattel)
                        little guys with guns might be marked "Soma"?

                            Second thought, the Ape is from Hasbros classic line, not Burtons...He's the Gorilla Sergent , The visionaries helmet is from Darkstorm

                                I think the little old man is a Teddy Ruxpin mini-figure.

                                The Fred Flinstone eraser is from a series of premiums from Pebbles cereal in the late 80s/early 90s. They also made Barney and Dino.
