"cute " vinyls

I waited years to find one of these in good condition / reasonably priced. Finally found one MIB, which i've never even seen before. Combex 6" high Nite-Lite (i've taken out all the electrics) from the 1950's.

 

Lovely!

 

Love Azrael’s ear with a chunk missing. A little touch that adds a lot of attitude.

 

It certainly does!

Combex Cribs ...

 

Vintage blow mold, the donkey has googly eyes.

 

Castle Duckula, home for many centuries to a dreadful dynasty of vicious vampire ducks ...

The clip-on figure is 1989 by Cosgrove. The one on the right is possibly a bottle top made by Grosvenor of London, but i cant find any other examples online so i'm assuming its quite rare! He's the star of one of my fave animated TV shows, from when i was a young - 'Count Duckula' which was a spin-off from 'Danger Mouse'.

 

Jinro Soju Frog (advertising mascot)

 

6" high Sonic bootleg. I prefer this one compared to any official toy i've seen of Sonic.

 

SANKYO (or quality bootleg) Musical pull-string Lemon. One of the eyes doesn't move, but the pull string and music works. I might try opening it and seeing if i can fix the eye movement, which is a long-shot but you never know. It might just need an extensive clean.

 

Bootleg Pikachu set .... nice and chunky.

 

... and for anyone interested in the mechanical side of vintage pull string toys ...

I got it open and quickly realised its an official Sankyo product because the logo is etched onto the music box. The eye stopped moving because the wire has popped out of the fitting. I don't have the tools to fix it at the moment, but maybe sometime in the future. The wire just doesn't seem to want to go back where it used to be, and its very tough so i cant bend it.

Anyway, it was a good opportunity to give it a proper clean.

 

I bet Toy Polloi could fix that.

 

No doubt, LOL .... I could fix it if i had a proper tool kit, but i don't.

 

Toy Polloi is in the South West but I think you could take it to a men's shed https://menssheds.org.uk/find-a-shed/ and have someone help you in minutes.
