The "identify this classic toy" thread

[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.

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

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.

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.

Anyone recognize this guy? No markings anywhere.

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...

Looks like the same line for sure. Thanks!

Thanks

Pretty sure the line has ninja in the title.

Got it! It's a Mattel (1971) Big Jim net launcher from the Jungle Adventure with Real Action Gorilla set. If you need one of these, contact me.

Hey guys,
So as a kid in maybe 78, I had a figure that I can't find or remember.
He was a western 12", had clothing that looked like buckskin and reminded me very much of Chris from the magnificent seven, Yul Brenner.
The other thing i remeber is his arms had joints like Babie's knees. For some reason "Trooper Jones" keeps popping into my head, but I can't remember since I called him muscles since when I bent his elbows it looked to me like he was flexing his muscles.
Any help?

[PNGwynne]

Hmmm. Sounds like some sort of Mattel 10" Big Jim figure--Dr. Steel? He could have been wearing a Tonto outfit or western Big Jim clothes from Germany.
