Either cute, weird or cutely weird . . . 13.5" high vintage squeaker from Italy.
Its a big toy . . . probably from 1950's or 60's.

I love the way he's sculpted with his centre of balance all over the place . . . it really evokes the loose and clunky movement of Pinocchio.
He stands very well even though he's leaning right over.

LOVE yr recent cute pick-ups Moog!

Thanks mate, glad you enjoy the photos.

I've been buying quite a lot of vintage cuteness recently including two very large combex bunnies i haven't taken photos of yet . . .

^^^^
...can't wait to see the pics man.

Finally got round to taking photos of my 'new' bunnies. These are 12" high, which is pretty huge for vintage squeakers.
Made by Combex in England . . . late 50's, early 60's. Very solid and heavy soft vinyl.

The bunny with the red jacket was converted into a night-light by Combex.
I've just disconnected the electrics. He has an old on-off switch in his arse

Blue jacket is a standard squeaker who still squeaks very well.

Man, lovely shots, J ! Love the one of the bunny gents at the park
Really cool to see the group shot for size reference. The Cartman toys kick ass too

Popy Fuusen no Doratarou squeeze toys (back row), just completed the set

^^ Congrats! . . . they look great, i've never seen those before.

The set is looking great! Well worth the effort of completing it! They don't look like squeeze toys-

Thanks, yeah I didn't think they were squeeze toys at first actually, made myself jump when I opened the first one up and it squeaked

This cheeky little chap was made by Combex in England . . . . probably 1950's.
Another figure with a weird centre of balance that stands just fine!

hahha That's wonderful!

LOVE the Shin Chan and Dragon Quest vinyls!!!

Yeah I love the pose on that Shinchan, here he is with some of his vinyl brethren. The DQ ones are old porcelain figures.



Edit: Raided my girl's shinchans
Gotta love the (bootleg?) one with his dick out.



Mini sofubi/yubiningyou

Couldn't be bothered to take them out of the case, but DQV mini sofubi also:

Awesome !
It is exactly the kind of charaters I like myself!

Rencently I received some like 2 dogs from Wansa-kun



The Rocky chuck pendant! Polly was waiting for!


the group:

^^ Great collection

Here's a nice one i found recently . . . made of fairly thin hard-vinyl.
The mouse is a separate piece that is glued on.

Standard coin-bank plug in the bottom.
I would guess 50's or 60's judging by the style, but i could be completely wrong.

Does it get any cuter than this?
I think not.

my girlfriend has a bank with the same mouse inside a slice of watermelon. i have also seen one on a bunch of bananas.

Yeah, all about 60s/70s anime characters

Congrats on the Polly pendant, never seen that before! Jealous of the other Rocky Chuck figures too... the PVC mouse (forgot his name) is really nice, don't think there's any other figures around of him.

Interesting, I'd like to see them.

I'm still trying to figure out when it was made . . . .

Dunno who he is, I like his face tho... Taito Corp 1991

Edd the Duck from 1989. Found him for 50p in a local charity shop.
Love his 80's sweater!

that is AWESOME! i really need to track one down

I browse everyday for find the missing, I'm looking for the Chatterer & Peter rabbit for complete the set. Those are so rare! I also look so much for complete the set of Miura insects similar to the Hatch series(Nakajima).

The Moog => Your mouse on the apple is awesome!
