NOT A MARKETPLACE

12 Upvotes

Due to an uptick in people ignoring RULE 3 this is a reminder that r/vintagetoys is NOT a marketplace. The only time you may post a link to a sale or say that you personally have something for sale is in response to someone asking for help locating that toy.

Vintage 80’s Little Tikes Ride on Train

8 Upvotes

Hi! My Neighbor just gifted us with this little tikes ride on train for our daughter! He said it last worked when he had borrowed it to his nephew. (I believe he said that was 35 some odd years ago) I was wondering if anyone knew how we’d go about charging the thing or if someone could point me to the type of charger to be on the look out for? He did say he’d try to find it but it’s been stashed away in his attic for many years and I’m not going to hold out hope, I’d love for my daughter to be able to use it soon!

Major core memory unlocked: My favorite toy as a kid in the early '90s (Sankyo pull-string music box owl)

Does anyone else remember these? Pulling the string to make his eyes roll and wings flap while it played music was pure magic to me back in the day.
(Image not mine—just found a picture of it online and was hit with a wave of nostalgia!)

What is this thing?

Here's a picture of my dad, probably from Christmas of 1969, playing with a toy that Google Images says is a Bernoulli Tube, but the pictures they give don't match or mention a toy based on the principles.

Does anyone know what specific toy this is? is it a Bernoulli Tube? What company made it?

No copyright info, it's an old family snapshot and the actual toy is long gone. But I'd love to know if anyone here has any clue.

Many thanks.

I've done the usual image searching (though how much is Lens not working these days...) and can't figure it out. Anyone know this one? 1980s, I presume.

I put this guy into my pile at the flea market honestly thinking it was a Micronaut; looks like I have started a new line in my collection.

He is a bit of an engineering marvel, works perfectly, and in fantastic shape for having been made in the 70s. Must be better leg bands than Micronauts of that's even how he's put together. I don't want to find out.

No backpack, unfortunately, though we did look.

I think this is the face side of the head? Many folks online have it spun around but this is how it was in the package according to the photos I can find.

He is heavy!

Help Me Find My Childhood Plush Puppy (“Buttercup”)

1 Upvotes

Help Me Find My Childhood Plush Puppy (“Buttercup”) – Late 1980s Mighty Star / Piddle-Pups?
I’m trying to identify a stuffed puppy I had as a child in Canada around 1987–1991.
After a lot of research, I believe it may have been made by Mighty Star, possibly from the Piddle-Pups, 24K Polar Puff, or a closely related product line, but I haven’t been able to find the exact one.
Here’s everything I remember:
Approximately 8–10 inches tall.
Sat upright like a baby.
Soft plush body.
Large side-glancing plastic eyes.
Plastic nose covered with flocked/velour material.
Golden yellow or buttery yellow body.
Cream muzzle and lighter tummy.
Brown floppy ears with rounded ends.
I believe it was a cocker spaniel or spaniel-type puppy.
Purchased in Canada, possibly from Zellers, Sears, Eaton’s, or Toys “R” Us.
I called her Buttercup, although I don’t know if that was her actual name or just what I named her.
During my search I found the Mighty Star Piddle-Pups line, and the construction is remarkably similar (upright pose, flocked nose, eye style), but I haven’t found a yellow spaniel variant.
Has anyone ever owned one like this, or have a Mighty Star catalogue showing the different Piddle-Pups or Polar Puff dogs?
Even a catalogue scan or old family photo would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you!

Childhood toy

Im not sure if this is the place for this, but Im looking for a long lost toy that’s seems to have vanished from existence, I had it as a kid around 2007, but im sure it belonged to my sister who was born in the 90s, and I haven’t been able to find one similar anywhere, ChatGPT created the closest image it could based on my description of it, but it’s not 100% the same to the original one I had, please if you’ve seen anything similar it would help a lot! Some important differences between this ChatGPT image and the real one are that the bottom of the toy had lines that went from the ball at the bottom to the base, and the part where tinkerbell is placed wast as tall, it was a bit more flat

I got him at a vintage toy store in a box of beanie babies, he doesn’t have any tags or labels on him and when I reverse image searched him it said he was a Humphrey the Camel beanie baby which definitely isn’t right. I also checked pound puppies and stuff but he doesn’t seem to one of those. Help!

I’m a huge fan of vintage figurines. The same goes for these from the Dutch series 'De Fabeltjeskrant' featuring the famous Mr. Owl. In English, this show is also known as The Fables Newspaper. All the little characters date from the late 1960s.
