Black Triangle with Colored Lights: Hi,I'm looking for a certain toy from around the 1980's that's triangular and is colored black. It's battery operated and has colored lights (Red, Green, and maybe Yellow). The objective is to figure out the color scheme in a certain amount of time and rotate the sides of the triangle to make a pattern (for example, all red). When you do make a pattern, it blinks with all colors flashing and makes noise to indicate success. Does anyone know the name of this toy? How about the company name? I can't even locate it to find a picture since I don't have the name. It was one of my favorite pastime toys and is very enjoyable. Thanks for all your help.; Reply

Snoopy music toy: I'm trying to find a toy that I loved when I was little (1980's). My mom just through it out cause it didn't work anymore and I didn't have a chance to check the name of the product. It was an electronic toy that had snoopy and I think woodstock on it. You could push buttons on snoopy's ear nose and the top hat he was wearing or the colored notes off to the side. Each button played a different note or would make a pause or change the octave I think. You could record notes and make a song to play back or use the little book of songs that came with it. I tried to google it but there are way too many snoopy toys to be able to find this one. Oh. I think it also had a memory game on it where different lights would light up and you tried to repeat the notes it played.; Reply

Spaceman Figures (Aliens?): When I was a kid in 1964 or so these odd little spacemen characters came out, and they were only about 3/4 of an inch tall. They had rabbit-ear antennae coming out of the top of their spherical helmets, pod-bellies and snorkle/elephanine noses and round eyes with little rivets around them. The arms and possibly the legs were all formed with round segments. Some had space walkie talkies and some had space rifles. They were of various colors (remember purple and dark brown)I think they were marketed in a playset possibly as Martians and I later acquired a larger grey plastic version that was released later about 3 or 4 inches tall and very light (possibly hollow). Never saw them again after around 1967 and have never been able to track them down. Believe they may have been foreign-made possibly tiawan or japan. Does anyone have any clues they can give me on this elusive toy?; Reply

Stuffed toy: My twin sisters each received for Christmas 1951 a red corduroy stuffed dog with felt applied eyes and nose and yarn loopy trim around the ears and a loop of corduroy (leash?) sewn @ neck back. I'm guessing that they were about 8-10 inches from bottom of front foot to top of ear. Even though one still had a tag I cannot remember the maker. I saved the two dogs all these years. Our home burned down last April and I was trying to find those dogs again. Any help will be greatly appreciated.; Reply
stuffed, pillow - like dog pattern from KMart in early 1980's - - - flat stuffed, not plush.: In about 6 mounths after I was born in 1983, my mom bought a pattern from Kmart of a dog. This dog was reddish colored with some sort of flower pattern and had basically two sides, front and back that were to be sewn together and stuffed with a filler. So in other words, the dog was pillow-like, not plush. The eyes and nose of the pattern were printed on the front side and there were no accessories to be attached. The dog was kind of like a "scottie" with a pointy upright tail and pointy ears, but you can't really tell if it is a scottie because the face is forward and is flat print. It was VERY special to me when I was a child and I find myself growing more and more nostalgic. Please help me if you can.; Reply

Toy Sailboat - Design Research: Dr. Toy- I am trying to find out what brand/type/ect.. toy sailboat used to be sold at the store Design Research back in the 50s-60s. My dad always wanted one. He still talks about it. From what I understand, you could put it in a lake or whatever and they would sail- i don't think they were radio controlled-did they even have that back then? But it was big and beautiful with sail(s), and his friends all had them. Ideally, I would like to buy one for him, but I would be very happy just to find out what brand sailboat they carried, if it was a brand, or to receive a description of what they looked like/could do, or any possible leads on how to find out. Any clues would be so helpful!! Thank you!!; Reply

Yellow Teapot house: When I was younger I had a toy that when it was closed just looks like a yellow teapot but opens up into a small cottage. There was a little bathtub and flower swings along the side of the house. The pour spout of the teapot turned into a slide once you open up the house. The toy came with many very tiny miniture baby doll toys and a mother I think, or an animal I can't remember but it was like a family of colorful babies. They each had different colored heads with different scents aswell. I would just like to know who made this toy so I could purchase this product and I would also like to look at their other products similar to the one i'm searching for. Thank YOU!; Reply
