"cute " vinyls

Haha yeah they're pretty damn cool... I'll bear you in mind if I get spares! You've got a lot of nice stuff, btw, I love this thread.

 

Very the moog, I've a swan like your swans but it is a clear glass plastic figure. I've some animals too like a cat, a mouse, a dear and a Dog.

Kappa you have cute figures too.

I've received one fabulous I was looking for ....thanks a lot to a member who sold this awesome dragonfly!





the gang!

 

looks great! that orange beetle is my favorite.

 

I have boy figure and I want girl too!

 

Monkey on tricycle (I bought from Mandarake) and deer squeaky vinyl toy

 

Ok, that monkey on a trike is completely awesome.
Love both of them.

 

^^^ Totally . . . in fact, everything on this page rules!

 

^^ Vintage doll . . . I'd guess 10 years old, maybe more . . . i dont know for sure.
Any info would be appreciated.

The monkey on the tricycle is Amedio from 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother. I love how they stuck anything and everything on tricycles like that...

The Moog - There's a lot of Japanese dolls similar to that around, from the style of the eyes I would guess it was quite a bit older than 10 years, I'm no expert though

 

^^^ Yeah, the eyes are certainly Japanese style, which is the main reason i bought it.
(that - and the fact it cost me only 10p).

Its definitely not a recent doll but its hard to guess exactly how old it is . . . .

 

got this elephant (marked "made in hong kong") at a flea market in kentucky this past weekend. he seemed like a perfect companion for this fat, cell-phone wielding mouse i've had for a couple years.

 

^ Brilliant ! Made me laugh, and I needed that shit today...cheers muckmonster ! They look like a comedy duo....making crank calls.

 

^^ That red mouse is great

 

Found this in an old junk shop for 20p.

I would imagine there was a rubber tube connected at the back to blow into and fluid contained in the blown-glass.
You blow in the tube and it made him look like he was having a pee.

Manneken Pis style!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken_Pis

It has 'Empire Made' stamped on the back. I'm guessing its pretty old.

Food Fundamentals . . . McDonalds 1992

^^ Amazing collection!

 

Love this one. The manufacturing stamps are 'Made in Ireland' and 'Made in the Republic of Ireland'.
The only others i've seen of these were fully painted with different wheels . . . i like this retro looking version best to be honest.

Roughly 9" High and 9.5" Long . . . so quite large and chunky.
The wheels are blow-moulded plastic, the rest is one-piece of soft vinyl with a squeaker underneath.

The wheel axles are purposely bent so when it moves the snail leans side to side in a pleasing manner!

If i had to guess i'd say its from the 60's but it could be 50's, 60's, 70's or 80's . . . i have no idea.
Very little info online - if anyone can tell me the manufacturer or anything that would be cool.

Nice post, Moog
By '92 I was a couple of years "too old" for Happy Meals, and these gems completely slipped under my radar. Looks like there was a corn guy too (for the under 3 age group)...


I seriously had no idea Mickey D's was running health awareness campaigns that long ago...

 

Oh man! That snail is very interesting. It remits me to The Neverending Story. That mammalian face makes it so cute!
Being made in Ireland adds to the rarity I guess. Very nice score.

 

Yeah, the corn guy doesn't transform like the others but it looks like he is considered part of the set.
I will be keeping an eye out on ebay for him, he's pretty cool. I bought the set mainly for the steak guy with the shades . . . .

Thanks, the sellers photo made it look orange so i was happy to find out it's a nice pink when i received it in the post!
I do see them pop-up on ebay occasionally but they are usually fully painted like these two:

Some info i just found online suggests these were made my a company called J.L. Prescott in the late 1960's.
