The "identify this classic toy" thread

[Nostalgiabuff]

that briefcase and gun were one of my favorite Joe toys as a kid

[ubermanx]

Okay ...

I have this weird memory from about 1975 to 77.

I had an action figure that I cut a hole in his arm, stuck some play doh into the hole and squeezed in the Six Million Dollar Man's arm bionic module that I got off some kid.

This was my feeble attempt at making a bionic man as I never did get a real one.

Given that I was 6 or 7ish I will assume the action figure was blow molded otherwise how could I have cut a hole? And I am guessing 12" but could have been smaller.

So, what dude was for sale in Canada around that time that was basically a GI Joe knock off / cheap imitation?

I have no recollection on what his face looked like.

How about Regal Toys Bobby Orr figure?

Maybe a big jim figure...their arms are soft

[ubermanx]

Not a Big Jim. Did they sell Action Mike in Canada?

My dad used to sell these 12" blow molded soldiers with goofy sideburns. Pretty sure they were knock offs of Fighting Yank.

[ubermanx]

I kept thinking Action Jackson but I know that's wrong. But now that you mention Fighting Yank Brian ... I am thinking maybe Mr. Action?

I also remeber trying to put a scuba suit on him from another one and it was too tight and wouldn't go all the way on and had to be cut off by my Mom.

If I had to guess I would have got him at either Kresgies in Center Mall or the Biway on the corner of Kenilworth and Barton in Hamilton.

The silver smooth gun on the farthest left (middle) looks like the Mego 12" Star Trek gun that came with my Ilia Probe (so from that line maybe?).
Don't know who's is the martian raygun on lower left, but it is sweeeet. ^-^

Anybody know what like this fantastic neon yellow clear jewel scepter is from?? I forgot to measure, but it's about 3" long. No idea if vintage or not (but probably).

aw heck, while I'm at it I may as well throw these out there.
They're all he-man size-ish. The gold ones with the lion-head scepter look voltrony? any ideas?

The two black swords are from the Power Rangers Lost Galaxy "Talking Galaxy" Magna Defender. They actually represent the same in show weapon in two different modes. The sword's hilt folds and combines with the scabbard to become the "Magna Blaster." (apt name, huh?) I don't recognize the ax in the same picture.

Pictures of Magna Defender and his accs with the scabbard/blaster barrel you don't have.

Anyone know what the helmet is from on this guy? I don't think it came with him.

Not sure where that helmet came from but I love it!

I picked up this rubber puppet at a thrift store today. It was so creepy that I just had to buy it. Besides creepy, it looks so very familiar, but I just cannot place it.

Cool monster jiggler. Anybody know the maker or approx. value? I've done pretty good with some jigglers in the past. I've been checking completed auctions for last years and haven't seen another.

I've also only ever seen the octopus without the submarine, not this harryhausen-ish version.
