"cute " vinyls

Nice, I've never seen that one before. Old toys are great to collect because you often stumble across absolute gems, that are actually quite rare. I feel lucky to have some very hard to find pieces in my collection, and they're usually reasonably priced.

 

I think those could be easy to find on flea markets in eastern Europe, I def would try to go to local on weekend to see if I can find some cheap gems here! Also toys like these sell on etsy for moderately okay prices, a bit more expensive than on local sites here but still - would be hard to try find them cheaper without knowing language

 

Combex bunny, unusual vinyl colour.


Combex. He's called Long Neck Tom.


Rosebud/Mattel

 

Burger King 1989




McDonalds 1991

 

Vintage 70's hairslide/clip ...

 

Vintage Combex Popeye, squeaker and night light.

 

A green, flat rabbit in a pinup pose. Too bad my kids are grown, I'd dismay them with choice gifts!

 

I found this Sailor on the weekend. He was filthy and i thought he might have rubber rot, but he cleaned up nice. Possibly made in Italy, but he's a British Sailor. According to one of his badges, he's a WW2 Visual Signalman 3rd Class.

 

Cool find!

 

The Zookeeper from Pif Gadget 1978

 

Pink Pony, as you do ... Italian made by Ledraplastic (8" high)

It used to have wheels but someone snipped them off years ago. Still squeaks, the squeaker is in its belly.

 

Almost a freakishly intense cuteness. The pink could be a semi-benign form of mildly radioactive cuteness. Very nice score!

 

Haha, yeah hot pink is always great. It's quite small for a pull-along toy, so obviously meant for small kids. I knew it had wheels originally because of the loop at the front, and checking its hoofs underneath you can see where they've snipped things off. I have another Ledra toy with the same thing. I suppose it's so they can be displayed on a shelf easier ...

 

Small Fry-Ceratops .... McDino Changeables (Under 3's) ... These were unarticulated toys given to under 3's when older kids got one of the transforming toys. I think they're a bit rarer than the others.

 

Mid-size 10" Ledraplastic on the left to go with my bootleg full-size ... unusual to see Ledra from a UK seller.

 

Pluto - the ancient Greek god of the squeeze pups.

 

Lille Braderie 2024 haul. Some Ledra, Delacoste and Famosa.

 

Oh wow, and a Michelin Bibendum, thats quite a mix .. lovely stuff.

 

I found this plush on Saturday for £5, excluding ears and tail he's 12x12x12". Not sure if its official, but its well made regardless.

 

Vintage gem-eyed glow skull necklace.

 

Vintage squeaky mouse, about 6" high. I'm fairly sure its Eastern European.

 

Anyone know if Delacoste, Fiba or any of the other usual suspects ever put out a vinyl Gargamel (Smurfs)? Lack of any evidence so far would suggest it would be on the spicy end of the price spectrum.

 

Schleich did a few (like this Azrael) and Bully, but they're small figures, not soft vinyl sized.
