"cute " vinyls

ninja hattori by yonesawa

Jim, that's totally awesome. After I talked to you the other day I realized that I didn't think that I had ever seen any other Yonezawa vinyls. Not really my bag, I'm sure there are many. You should see the diecast Hattori Yonezawa made. It's pretty nice. Remind me to show it to you when you come down..

I love the huge Sato-chan. I need one of those greeting visitors in my house someday, but I don't want to think about the shipping costs .

They are totally attainable. Shipping really isn't as bad as you think..





Hit me up via pm or email and I'll fill you in if you're interested.

Pete's Dragon was the 1st thing that came to mind as well ... nice piece, looks so dumb in a good way.

Thats a cool Gatchaman toy.You have an awesome collection

In 1967, a food company in Italy named Moplas produced these Hanna Barbera premiums to go with their products.
They are pretty scarce- some figures more than others.

fro left to right
Huck Hound, Kitty Hound*, Papa Yogi*, Alfy Gator, Yogi, and BooBoo. The * indicates figures made for the line with no counterpart in the cartoons. They also made the Flintstones, Pixie, Dixie , and various others.
I like them because they're made with different colored pieces, which also makes it hard to find some of them intact.

Man, I love nearly everything in this thread! Especially vintage vinyl's bambi figure. SWOON!

Strange little Pinocchio


Orange Bird

and another;


Cheburashka (flocked vinyl)


And my favorite Cute Vinyl ever. (not mine, but lives in my house)

pickle .

Oh man, this pickle is classic. So weird I want one.

kr, please clean your toys up, or send them to me! so much cool stuff in piles on the floor!

Also who signed that Aqua Net bottle!? hahahaha

anyone own or see the 7 dwarfs vinyls from disney?

I have one that my folks bought for me on my first trip to Disneyland circa 1974.
I think it's a Sneezy figure. It's in storage someplace. I'll see if I can dig it out and take a photo.

bizzare german advertising figure

that is just too weird.
he's a frog wearing brown dress shoes.
was this item for a german shoe company, by any chance?

Here is the fierce French kaiju "Casimir" in the form of a vintage shampoo bottle from the 70's.

so is csaimar like the french version of barney ?

Casimir was the name of the lead character of a TV program ('L'île aux enfants" = "The children island") from the 70's. It was a costumed actor which had adventures with fellow characters of its kind and human children.

Of what I know it is a character invented by Yves Brunier and Christophe Izard. The concept may have been exported, or may have inspired a program in the US. Or it is just a coincidence.

I am sorry, I don't know too much about Barney, but isn't he a purple dinosaur ?
Maybe they lived together in Pangea back in the prehistoric ages

Anyway, your Casimir is very nice. Which brand is it ?

Not sure if this is rare or strange, but it is cute. Not quite a vinyl, so if offends any one, I will remove it.
Just won this in JPY. It's a noodle timer, and the description reads...

Pickard, deputy to the sound and press the head every 10 seconds "pans" and cry,
and分TATSU "KUREKUREKUREKURE" continued to cry and then just let us know
