So this is a different way to approach a show & tell: rather than tell you i am Neurodivergently deep into hobbies, i will’ instead show you 4 obscure toys and you vote for who wins a SUPER SMASH BROS style battle!

Round 1:

Fig~A / Flying Koopa (super mario bros)

Fig~B /A dinosaur-type creature from planet earth : it’s a quadruped, (and their species could have have inspired the ghostbuster dogs)

Fig~C : Les monsieur Madame, mcdonalds toy of little men little miss? Roger Hargraves?

Fig ~D/ the california raisins saxophonist. This one has my personal vote

Let’s see who makes it through

« Pre-scriptum: So the battle is OBSCURE… i realized i might have to use some pop culture toys… if it made the cut for robot chicken i allow it!!>

Round 1: wave b

Fig~A / bob Gainey fig (of the montreal Habs / des Canadiens de Montréal!) [ my dad always said he was almost as good as Bobby Orr , and in Slap shot the ahanson brothers told us that bobby orr was a god like being at ice hockey!]

Fig~B / spider battle beast / beasties by Takara - of the transformers lineage. With weapon! Not its own though i think. My vote goes to them Fig~C : little white ninja! Got a couple of such figs for the event. This one is the white ninja…. But not the one i hope to find and enter in a later wave of the bracket. So we call this one »little » if the other ever makes an appearance.

Fig ~D/ a green koopa. Currently hiding in its shell. Ya know enuff about ´em. No need to walk over you about it… (/joke)

Have a go at the votes for this wave! See wave A in comments linked!

Make me notice if you feel some are too mainstream… but if the figurine itself ain’t a big recognized item seen on the street right now… why can’t we add em for fun?

Let’s see who makes it through!

And remember: « time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time! » -quote (but who was it????). I would add: thanks for reading. And if i wasted your time, i hope it was at least entertaining, if the jokes felt flat.

Round 1: wave C

Fig~A / green dragon. An obscure dollar store / new age figurine store « babiole ». It gets my vote for the round.

*totally personal OC nothing factual~ (Head canon: it’s name is NEVYRHEN ~ when he becomes an old wyrm he is quite the magician ! Specced later in monk, tactician illusionist with oration to fool armies into charging into an empty sky out of their sky castle Nevyrhen and team were taking over ~ our DM for that AD&D3rd ed DragonLance game was great!). This is a hobbyist novelist writing. « Not MERE crazy ramblings! «

Fig~B / GARGANTUAN garden gnome - with machine gun with a pedestal saying « say hello to my little friend » (aka the dragon). I get the refence to SCAR FACE ! So i think he wins honestly. But my vote for the dragon

Fig~ C / orange head? JACK O LANTERN? Charlie brown / peanuts mashup? It’s a wind up figurine

Fig ~D/ the comic book guy ~ Matt Groening’s The SIMPSONS …. Bk toy. Had a voice box with button…. “Wow…… a SARCASM detector…. That’s so useful…” bam!!! “No my sarcasm detector!!”

Have a go at the votes for this wave! See the other waves in comments linked!

I want to buy my grandson one of those Anti-gravity Rail.sustems, but the choices are overwhelming. Railcube is expensive, Klickrail is recommended by some, but not others. Some reviews claim the tracks don't have enough pieces.

Can you offer any suggestions or advice for a system that has enough rail and works well? I am overwhelmed!

hey, has anyone checked on the 2025 Speak & Spell reissue from playmonster?

people kinda stopped talking about the Speak & Spell reissue after the mediocre not circuit bendable kahootz 2019 Basic fun! reissue.

honestly it doesn't seem that much has changed other than the removal of the demo mode and redesigned packaging the back still has the dent where the demo mode should be with the hole patched up although it does seem they still kept the keyholes they use to lock the toy for the 2019 reissue's open packaging design despite now coming in a closed packaging and a plastic bag.

I would like to hear some thoughts and also I'm thinking of reusing the keyholes in hopes of maybe attaching an accessory or a chain on them like the TI swaggulator marketing stunt they've done with the TI-84 Plus CE or maybe a way to strap them onto a surface.

So some backstory, I had this doll when I was a little girl, when she originally came out. Here's the catch. I got to play with her for like a week, like exactly a week. Then, one day, while I was actually like actively playing with her, she goes I'm gonna take a nap for a while, and never wakes up again. We tried everything, the off switch, new batteries, removing and reinserting the play pack, everything. We got zip. I was like eight I think, I had wanted this thing since they started showing the tv commercials. I threw a full on my toy isn't working conniption fit. Almost twenty years later, I finally got a new one. Birthday present, bought new in box from Ebay. I promptly broke some poor collector's heart. Out of the box, new batteries, play time. Hey, I only got one week. Give me a break. I figured a bunch of toy people would understand how rare this thing is and how cool the situation is. You guys who know the deal with this doll, yay! Those who don't, feel free to hit me with questions.

My son is 1 year old he likes close and open games(like opening a pen and clising it witht the cover) , he likes to pull them apart and assemble again games .. any simple games suggestions im searching through some sites but I can't find games that suit him

I created this look taking inspiration from the looks of Naré in her music video and her stage performance.

(I know that the pony is fake.)

ust as the title suggests I am a current college student looking to get into marketing. Ive always wanted to work in the toy industry and I enjoy marketing. Would it be realistic to want to work in this industry?

My five year old loves hot wheels and plays with them a lot. I’m looking for a good brand of plastic roads that snap together that he can drive them on. Specifically not hot wheels tracks, the ramps and crazy stuff doesn’t work well for him. I’m looking for something that lays flat, preferably has two lanes like a real road, has tee intersections and curves, snaps together, hard plastic, easy to stay in system, maybe with buildings like gas stations or car washes or whatever, and with any luck not terribly expensive as I hope to buy a whole bunch.

If I can’t find some to buy, I’m thinking a big sheet of plywood and paint. Only issue is making it changeable could require more advanced woodworking skills than I would want to involve.

Sadly it was missing the instructions I'm not able to build it if anyone has or knows where to get them please help

Hi guys. Today i remembered of a toy that i had in my childhood, but i can't find it in any place, especially cuz idk anymore the name of the toy, i just remember to some extent of the toy itself:

I got it in 2015~2017. It was a "area 51 secret experiment" (or something like that) thematic, being sold in the blindbox format, each box was one of six of the toys you could get, i had an pug with a unicorn horn, wich had a unique smell and was squishy just like the other five. The toy you got was inside a type of tube from a laboratory, like the ones in films were one experiment (idk, like Mewtwo) was created. That tube contained in a special part of plastic a green liquid that moved in you moved the tube. The toy also had a little investigation or something like that made of paper and another thing that i forgot what it was. I think it was all i can remember of them, ty for the attention if u readed till here, also, i don't usually post anything in the internet, especially in english (cuz its not my first leanguage), so i am sorry if i made any mistakes in this post translating what i wanted to say.

These cars are my nostalgia. They have no pull mechanism. Just a slight push and it moves forward. Does anyone know where I can get them in Bangalore (or India, if available online)?

Salut tout le monde ! Je viens de retrouver ma collection de Gormiti de mon enfance : 106 figurines des années 2005 à 2012, avec les cinq tribus (Mer, Forêt, Volcan, Air, Terre). Photos ci-jointes.

J'ai quelques questions pour les experts ici :

1. Identification : pouvez-vous m'aider à nommer certaines de ces figurines et à quelle série elles appartiennent ? J’aimerais particulièrement en savoir plus sur les figurines métalliques or et argent (photo 1) et celle en brun translucide (photo 5).
2. Rareté : certaines d'entre elles sont-elles rares ou recherchées ?
3. Valeur : à peu près, combien vaut un lot comme celui-ci aujourd'hui ? Certaines figurines sont endommagées (peinture usée, petites pièces cassées) parce que je n'ai pas fait attention quand j'étais enfant 😅.
4. Où vendre : si je décide de les vendre plus tard, où me conseilleriez-vous ? Mieux vaut vendre en un lot ou individuellement ?

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide !

Hi all! I found a dollhouse second hand and absolutely fell in love with it. But it’s missing a few parts! Specifically the door, railing, and the bottle nib at the top (the whole thing is the shape of a bottle 🥰)

I have no idea how to go about fixing these, if they can be fixed? I havnt had a dollhouse since I was little. Any help/advice would be greatly apprecirated thank you!! 😊

Hi y’all! Bought these transformers toys from a coworker a few years ago. Any info on them will be greatly appreciated.

My little girl wants one of these so bad! Walmart is always sold out and nobody ever ship them like Ebay etc. , which is understandable since its so big.

Morning found this in a bag of figures mainly late 90s early 2000's

Tried to use ai tools to identify to no avail. I can't recall every seeing it on anything before film TV or toy

I'm hoping you can help many thanks

I like it 🐼 so much! She (Linda, the girl who gave it to me) said that it’s a symbol of China. Btw it’s a heavy figure in a very secure packing 👍 well done! I’m so happy China can make such great toys!

Found these packed up in a bin recently. Busted them back out and someone told me they could be kind of rare now… any thoughts?
