Sonny Bono?

Great guess! You inspired to me look around but it appears it is not. At least it not listed on the catalog I found at another site-



Also, I think Sonny's outfits came in different packages. I know its not Joe Namath either.

These look like they are for a 12" figure. No tags, but the cardboard says made in Hong Kong. And the cardboard shares a similar yellow used for the boards in AJ and Dinah outfits.

Not related to the topic, but I want to ask if anyone likes lego ledlight?

Are you thinking of push puppets?

Yes. Thanks. I just never knew they were called that.

I guess they used to be in souvenir shops.

On Dexter, they had a giraffe one, but it's been a while since it was aired.

I remembered playing with them.

Thanks very much!

Milton Bradley Bedbugs.

Thanks, but no. "Bedbugs" looks fun, though.

I'm trying to identify an electrical game I had, around '79-'80. It worked on the same principle as Operation, except it featured plastic creatures--spiders, scorpions, and something else, beetles? --on a metal plate. You retrieved the bugs, which were color-coded for different points, with the forceps. I can't recall what drove the game--a timer, cards? Thanks!

In the mid-60's, my brother had a military playset where you controlled the troops/vehicles from underneath the playing surface with a magnetic wand. It was probably similar in size to Marx army sets, but I think it was not a Marx set. The particular set my brother had was a bombed-out WWII village with crumbling buildings and walls. You could move your troops and tanks around the village using the magnetic wand. Any ideas what this might be? I'd appreciate any help.

Some toys had me thinking of other toys.....

Is there a standard name for toys that collapse with a string inside the plastic?

Just curious. Thanks.

Star Trek TAS Jigsaw Puzzles

Hi, I'm new to the forum and curious about a group of Star Trek "The Animated Series" (TAS) jigsaw puzzles I acquired back in the 80's. Each puzzle is 10" X 14", came in plain box with no signage, image or description, but included a poster of the puzzle that's the same size. I guess they're 150 pieces as they're still sealed in the original plastic bags (see attached photo). I've seen online pictures of the HG Toys 150-piece Star Trek TAS puzzles and their boxes, but none have shown these posters. I assume they are by HG Toys, but the only printing is the Copyright "1974 Paramount Pictures Corporation" and the picture title. The three titles are "Battle on the Planet Klingon", "Battle on the the Planet Romulon" and "Captain Kirk and Officers Beaming Down". Could someone please comment if these are the HG Toys items and if the posters were always part of the package? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hmmm... can't get the image to appear in this message.
