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.

Here is another crop of WAZZITs as I call 'em.


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

POTA is marked "Hasbro 99". The phone has no markings but is Sooo Mego scale!!!

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

Little soldier guys are marked "Soma 1987" Mid-evil guy is marked "Papo 2003" and has removable sword & shield. Fred Flintstone is an eraser 1987. Blue astronaut is "Remco".

No clue on the NunChuks. Capt. America shield has been ID'd as Toy Biz 90's. The green thing is a helmet of some kind, Maybe for 5" figure. Lil old man in green shirt and work apron marked "86 ATI?" And the Bendy Asian looking figure is marked "Marvel Education".

And a late entry...

Well that's it. Hope somebody can flesh-out these odd little Misfit Toys.
