"cute " vinyls

A newspaper advert from 1964. It always amuses me that some people try to sell paper adverts on ebay,
but then include a fairly high-res scan in the listing.

Some big name toy makers!
Other than Topo Gigio, my favourites are 'Floppy Dangle Animal Assortment'
and 'Reclining Lion - Whimsical Expression'

 

I like "Bottle and Hammer." Two great toys that go great together.

 

AMERICAN CHARACTER, eh...

 

Haha, that refers to the company that manufactured or imported the Topo Gigio doll.

Topo was very popular on the Ed Sullivan show, i learnt recently . . .

 

Combex Creations Ltd - 11" high Vintage squeaker.

White vinyl is very unusual for a larger Combex toy, and the paint is a bit sharper on this fella as well.
The colour blue in his eyes is a nice touch.

1950's / 60's
Made in England

 

Cabbage Patch Kid
1984 Mini Figure (2.5" high)

 

A bit weird with Roller-skates on a Skateboard . . .
1984 Cabbage Patch Kid (pull back action).

Boot-sale bargain.

 

Some more 1980's pull back action cuties . . .
Various boot-sale buys.

 

A promotional squeaky toy for Spanish hotels 'Hoteles Silken'.
Buenas Noches!

 

Ahah... Yeah I was surprised to come across that too, haha. Don't think I'd ever seen him before I came to Japan.

 

@The Moog love that Hoteles Silken toy! Apparently it doubles as a soap dish too which is a nice touch

 

Shounen Ashibe (+ non-matching Goma-chan that I had lying around), 1991

 

Hime's Cats x Unbox 'Catophilia'
50p in a charity shop.

 

Vintage Beatrix Potter 'Tom Kitten' by F. Warne & Co 1991
Squeaky Toy about 5" high.

Very rare this one. I was lucky to find him in a vintage market.

 

Don't remember taking this photo but it looks like it was intended for this thread...

 

Happy New Year!

Pleased to have finally got Little Red Riding Hood + in very good condition for a very good price

 

@kappa
They look great and in excellent condition, like you say. Very nice.

My latest Combex Creations purchase. 8" high. I've been collecting Combex for many years and i don't recall ever seeing this one before.

 

Ledraplastic Donald mid-size (11" high).
Another vintage Ledra squeaker to add to my collection. Bargain on the bay.
1950's / 60's





He goes well with this one, same size . . .

 

Vintage Combex / British Telecom mascot 1976
4.5" high. Punched hole for a pen / kids toothbrush

A bargain i found at an antiques flea market this weekend.

 

Found this one at the same antique flea market as Buzby above. No makers marks, 8" high.
Its a squeaker converted into a night-light. This one has that nice old vinyl smell . . .

 

Combex Creations Hare / Rabbit. 10" high vintage squeaker.
Found in a charity shop.

 

LJN 1993

 

Classic.

 

Not vinyl but wood. I had to buy this in a lot with my Ledraplastic Donald.
Its an interesting piece and i think its very old. The only similar examples i can find are supposedly 40's or even late 30's.
The theory is they are sculpts done by sailors with time on their hands . . .

12.5" high. Very heavy.

 

This one became my favourite Combex toy, instantly. Its very rare. This is the only one i've ever seen.
I couldn't believe my luck when nobody bid against me!

4.5" high. Squirrel with scarf. 1950's.
