    Not vinyl, but cute. I found the pair in a charity shop for a few quid. They're surprisingly well-made. Kong is about 14" high.

    Vintage dogs by Marx Toys, pretty damn old.

    Vintage 1960's Italian Popeye, 9" high. He was filthy and covered in sticky nicotine, but he cleaned up very nicely. All the others i've seen online have a white hat.

    I had to buy a lot with other stuff, but my main focus was these two. Sof'Boy and Little Enid. Both were covered in marks and grime but they cleaned up pretty good.

    I went to a vintage fair on the weekend and got a few nice things. This is probably the oldest, made from some kind of rubber. Someone has suggested Oompa Loompa, but i think he's much older than that.

    He only cost me a quid, the seller couldn't of been more disinterested.

    Casper Talk-up doll by Mattel. From 1971, he was filthy but cleaned up really well. Often the head has gone a weird colour, but not on this one. He still works (talks when you pull his head, which is on a string). Another one for only £1 :)

    That brown one; at least by looking at design, turn of the 20th century ±10 yrs.? Very cool.

    Yeah ... going on the look, feel and in particular the smell ... its very old. I agree, the design seems very of that time.

    That's interesting. I hadn't thought of that, but if I had to put money on it, I'd say it was a hole for the squeaker.

    And yeah, I feel I've seen this guy before. The sun on his chest and the very distinctive haircut. It seems familiar, like I've seen the character in an old book.

    Its a fascinating bit of rubber/plastic/fuck_knows ... and it has such a weird smell. Faintly chemical but also like burnt wood. :twisted:

    Yeah, a lot of my smaller squeakers are like that. They seem to harden much more frequently than the larger sizes. (uh-huh-huh-huh).

    His clothing is reminding me of Lederhosen, so you might be onto something.

    This fella is awesome, he is defo triggering a sense of deja vu.He looks like he could be part of some collective subconscious folk (horror) memory.Such a spooky stare.
    Could the eyeholes have had inserts?

    It doesn't look like it, they are just little spots of black paint as far as i can see. His hair is the part i keep focusing on ... its hard to say where i've seen that crazy style before. Its always possible this is an original creation just for the toy company, but he looks so specific with so many little details i keep thinking he's an established character. Maybe a newspaper strip or something ...

    Doesn't the little witch in the Moomins wear a hat like that?

    Yes, and I may have been making gender assumptions. Sometimes I get confused.
