    Trying to figure out what this building set I had as a kid was.
    It had plastic pieces that joined together through little slots. It was an actual “building”. You would build the building up then place cardboard window pieces on it with little pegs that were built into the slotted/frame pieces.

    The bear is called Lock Jaw and is from Bass Pro Shops.

    anyone know what these orange flippers go to? they are GI Joe size, made of rubber, marked made in Hong Kong but I cannot find them in Desimone's book anywhere
    Those flippers might be from a wind-up or battery powered scuba-diver toy. I had the same problem. Found a scuba set, vest, fins belt and such that I thought was for Big Jim and here none of it fit. Turns out they were pieces to a battery powered scuba toy.

    The bear is from a novelty item more than a toy. I think it was "Spencer's Gifts or Gander Mountain" item. Had a Hunter Guy on a quad and several critters along with the bear (shown). I think the quad and rider were RC and was supposed to hit or avoid the animals.

    He's from a line called Shadow Strikers and changes color in hot water. Shadow Strikers was one of several similar lines by Kenner playing on the success of their M.A.S.K. toy line.

    Sounds like Fisher Price Adventure People. Here is the page from Plaid Stallions:

    at first it started to sound like the space 1999 eagle 1 set, but that isn't a space shuttle...

    I don't think that I ever encountered the actual figures.

    I don't remember the Fisher-Price sticker.

    I do clearly remember the gray thrusters and ship.

    Never would have guessed that it could be found, I thought it was more of an unknown.

    That's something to think of all the toys that were made.

    Main engine boosters detached and could be attached to the small vessel.

    I think it had solid plastic oxygen lines for the astronaut's spacewalks.

    It basically looked like an American space shuttle, and was made of white plastic.

    Jet Chopper...Corgi Batcopter clone

    Looking for any info on this "jet chopper". I have searched and can't find anything. It's all high quality thick plastic, the exact same sculpt, size and really a clone of the Corgi 925 Batcopter at 6" long and 3" high (broken off tail wing). There are no makers markings and the wings turn thru a square sided insert hole/post like it shoud be placed on something to make the wings spin. Sitting in the cockpit is a loose all yellow figure. Any thoughts, perhaps its came from some larger playset that was motorized?
