ACTION FIGURES - BODY ORGANS - BODY WARRIORS: When I was younger, around the mid-90's, I had a set of tiny figures inside of 'Mighty-Max' style tiny fold-out playsets in the shape of various organs of the body. There were little eye-shaped soldiers inside the Eye playset, little heart-men inside the heart, etc. There were 5 or 6 different organs in all. The playsets also fired darts so that they could 'battle' with the other organs. Does anyone have any idea what these toys were called or who made them? I've tried searching 'Body Warriors' and various other iterations but had no luck. Hasbro seems like a likely company that would make something like this but I have no proof of that. I've been looking for months. Please help!; Reply

CONTINUOUS MOTION MARBLE GAME: I am trying to find the name and maker of a toy that was a cow (or possibly Paul Bunyun's blue ox, where you placed large marbles on a track that ran along the cow's back.

Creepy blue angel monkey baby?: My uncle found it by the side of the road. It looks fairly modern, so I'm not ure you'd be able to help. It is 4" tall, and has jointed legs and arms. Overall, the body is molded blue plastic with hair texture. hs feet have "thumbs" and there are numbers - L87 - stamped on the bottom of his foot. His face is babyish, with red lips with black lipliner. His eyes are the typ that close, and he has molded silver-gray hair in a "mohawk" and a blue fez perched to the side. The back of his head is stamped "Alexander". In addition, there are silver-gray wings that are attached with a screw and he wears a blue cloth jacket with a tail. The jacket has red stitching. As you may have guessed, this thing is pretty weird. I did an online search once and did find one on eBay. The seller didn't seem to know any more about it than I did, although she did mention the stamp on the foot and hers was different. I was going to buy hers, but the auction had just ended. That's a shame, because the only thing better than one creepy blue angel monkey baby is TWO creepy blue angel monkey babies! Hope this rings a bell! Thanks!; Reply

Martian vs Spacemen, 1980s, UK: Around the early 80's (UK). I had a toy I'm desperate to find the name of. There were the bad guys, which were small black figures (alien/martian) with a removable head (all red). Their feet were made larger due to having a circular base around them with teeth on the edges, this could allow them to either fit into a metal base, or with the base removed, they could be fixed into green colored interchangeable parts which in turn allowed for all manner of different building idea's to use with the figures. One of the toys was a saucer shaped craft with many connectors across its surface allowing it to be connected to other pieces. At the center of that was a rotating (weighted) sphere with one of the figures inside. One of the other parts you could use, were black claw like objects, with a spring placed at the back of them for that good old fashioned spring closed grip. The "good guys" were space men of sorts, in yellow, and with removable bubble like helmets, made of clear plastic. Their feet were the same as the others, and their accompanying pieces were yellow and red (I think). The toys once made an appearance on an unrelated children's TV show at the time, where the presenter would show the viewers how to make things with house hold objects. In this case, he showed how to make a play set for use with these toys. It's possible the TV show in question was Fingerbob/mouse, however I can't be sure of that. But it had a similar looking presenter (Open University professor style appearance).; Reply
Marx Playsets, Boy Scouts: Can you tell me what accessories came with the Marx Boy Scouts Playset (circa 1960"s)? It had 16 Boy Scouts in 16 different poses.

Minature Mice, wearing outfits, real rabbit fur: In the early 1980s, my sister and I played with a set of mice, maybe 2-3 inches, that wore costumes. They were made with real rabbit fur. Most were grey, though at least one of ours were white. They came in all different outfits -- Robin Hood, Superman, a clown, a king and queen, a baby, Bo Peep, and other dresses, etc. I asked a woman who worked at the store where we bought them, and she thought she remembered that they came from a company in Pennsylvania, possibly called "Mouse House." She's not sure, though. They were small, and they stood nicely on their own, and we used them in our dollhouse. We have looked all over the internet, on ebay, on vintage toy shops, and we can't even find mention of the company. Help!; Reply

Mysterious Music Box: Dr.Toy, I was shopping one day at a goodwill and found a unique horse that played a song from my child hood, "The King Of Clowns".

Its brown with a brown sadal, I'm not sure what the other colors are for but there are blue at the horses neck, behind the sadle is what looks like a red blanket with gold chimmings and below a blanket thats yellow with a red V shaped stripe. The horse is standing like any horse should with one leg raised. Its main is set back by the harness which looks like is making the hose whinny. It has a short tail and in the middle of the horse is a carosel pole with a small handle. When turned on by a wind up key on the bottom of the wooden stand, the horse turns on the pole.

Plastic Horse - Carousel early 90s: Around the late 80s - early 90s there was a set of carousel horses for sale. They were made of plastic and came in a variety of colors. The body was all one color and the mane, tail, and small neck marks were another. (I had a purple/green, pink/purple, and a black/blue one.)They were decently sized about 10-12 inches tall, the reason I know this is because my brother and I would have his ninja turtles ride around on them. They came with a purple piece that could attach them to a pink/yellow carousel stand. The stand was made of plastic and cardboard and could hold four horses, you had to manually turn it. Also their saddle and bridle could come off. I've looked at the Fashion Fillys, Dream Beauties, and Fantasy Star horses; but none of them are what I'm looking for. I'd really love to find these horses again since they were lost when we moved.; Reply
