The "identify this classic toy" thread

[Orlock]

Looks like the same line for sure. Thanks!

[Starroid Raiders Dagon]

I think he is a bootleg wrestler but I cant find the line. Here is a pic of another figure that looks to be part of the line...

The 1980s were the absolute best era for playsets. It was just insane that Hasbro made a 7 foot long aircraft carrier for G.I. Joe. My personal favorite playset had to be the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Fortress of Fangs.

Yes. Yes that's very cool. I'm still thinking of buying one today. A friend had one, I somehow missed getting the Fortress Of Fangs.

Also skipped the U.S.S. Flagg and Star Wars Star Destroyer.

I suppose the Death Star was what got me hooked on playsets.

It would be great to design a playset some time.

[Gzilla2000]

That is exactly it.

Thanks, Gzilla2000!

I never would have thought what the name was without the photograph.

I fully remember now, but don't know the individual robot characters, because the base was probably used mostly for G.I. Joe and Star Wars.

It still looks pretty cool.

A good time period for playsets.

I think the playset you are looking for is the Robo Force Fortress of Steele.

you have pic of the info?????''

[Klosterheim]

Those cowboys look like Bat Masterson, but maybe they weren't that small. I noticed a Cobra frogman type in there...

Anyway. I found a lot of really good vintage toys on eBay, including 70's water games.


One thing that I want to find a photo on is:

A large white mountain folding playset, 1980's, with a bubble on top that rotated into a gun turret. It may have been for robot figures. Science-fiction adventure fun.

Thanks!


P.S. 'Dragonriders of the Styx' carded movable action figures are fantastic! I saw'em online too.

[xckpx]

[GlobalObserver]

Yep. DynaGirl by Barter Toys.

[Neutron X]

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

say}1111 my name is charles from argentine noobie in forum, need info about is figure

[Klosterheim]

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

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

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

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)
