  • Another one of my personal favorites is this fabulous TN/Nomura/Baravelli Sonic Car Dodge Charger in 100% original condition and in the original box with insert foam blocks. The Sonic whistle has never been removed from it's plastic bag. Each blow of the whistle commands the car to perform a different function, forward, reverse, left and right and finally for the machine guns to propel out of the roof of the car with bright flashing muzzle fire! Unique and again, a large 15" long by 6" wide and 5" tall. There is slight oxidation on the brightwork trim of the car but overall is just stunning! Operates on 2 'D' cell and 1 9volt battery.
  • Shooting Cowboy in a Barrel is a rare, battery-operated, wired remote-controlled tinplate toy made by Swallow Toys, Japan. Features 3 actions: the barrel moves forward; the cowboy raises up and shoots the guns that also light up. Then, he drops back into the barrel and moves a little closer to his target! This is a next to impossible to find, rare cowboy battery operated toy that becomes a hallmark piece for serious collectors!
  • Taiyo Wheel-A-Gear Robot Japan

    $1,437.50 IL Sales Tax 8%
    Vintage Taiyo Wheel-A-Gear Robot Japan in a very nice replica box. This very large (15" tall) battery operated robot has wonderful action as he walks and swings his arms, lighted moving eyes and visible spinning chest wheels that are belt driven. He operates on two 'D' cell batteries and is in extremely nice working condition. This is a very nice, RARE and LARGE robot for your collection!
  • A wonderful Marusan, Japan Sunbeam Motorcycle with Sidecar battery-operated toy in excellent, fully working condition. The Sunbeam operates with two 'D' cell batteries inserted into the sidecar. The sidecar switch operates the headlight, red license plate, taillight and the front running light. Upon battery insertion and without operating the light switch, power is instantly available to the electric motor to power the bike. The bike operates by switch movement on the gas tank. First gear is slow speed, second gear for higher speed and neutral or 'off'. The front fork is steerable and can be positioned for straight or circular motoring direction. These were very sensitive and fragile toys and most became shelf displays due to mishandling. This toy has been thoroughly checked and adjusted for superior function. Truly a delight and a must have for motorcycle collectors and enthusiasts alike!
  • Masudaya Space Capsule 6 1960s Japan Green Suit, Japan in the 1960s. It is a large space toy with multiple actions: whistling noise, revolving flashing light, bump and go action, and the astronaut moves back and forth in his chair. The toy measures 10" long and 5.5" high. Battery operated. Works perfectly. This toy has been in my personal toy collection for almost 20 years and is in wonderful condition. Variations of this toy offer the astronaut figure in a RED space suit, which is the most common version and this one here, which is the astronaut in a GREEN space suit and is considered the rarer version.
  • Sonsco Red Gulch Bar, Western Badman Battery Operated Toy in mint condition. The Western Badman, Red Gulch Bar battery operated toy is a great, all-time favorite and prized collectible by vintage battery toy enthusiasts. The toy operates with two 'D' cell batteries inserted into the base. When the toy is activated, the desperado lifts his beer mug, gets 'red faced', turns his head and lifts his gun to take a shot at the bartender. The bartender swings to the side to avoid the shot while smoke exits the gun barrel. This is a continuous action toy in excellent working condition. Please watch our YouTube video of this marvelous toy in action! The Red Gulch Bar, aka: Western Badman is from the 1950's and comes with three mint whiskey bottles for atop the bar. The bottles are in the original bag. Be sure to check out the video! This is an extremely rare toy and hard to find with all original accessories.
  • 'Candy Vending Machine' battery operated saving bank from Wonderful Toy Company, 1950's. This RARE and highly collectible tin battery op is in excellent WORKING condition. It operates on two 'D' cell batteries. The toy has miscellaneous scratches and scuffs, mostly from the removable top tin cover. Originally designed for use with hard candies or peanuts, I recommend small 3/8 diameter wooden or plastic beads. When the cover is removed, insert the beads into the funnel. When a coin (nickels work best) is inserted into the slot, the inside of the toy lights up, Mr. Vendor cranks his handle and rotates the open top drum. As the drum opening passes under the funnel, a couple bead 'candies' fall into the drum and are dispensed through the chute at the front of the toy and the light goes out. This is an awesomely cool and not often seen toy that will be the highlight of your battery-operated toy collection - sure to please! This toy has a rarity scale number of 9 (10 being rarest) and had a book value of $1200.00 (in mint condition) in 1994. This is an extremely fragile toy. The plastic candy funnel will be removed for shipping and the cavity will be filled with styro peanuts to keep the vendor well supported for travel.

  • A 1960's Aoshin ASC Batmobile battery operated toy Batmobile in excellent working condition. It's a 'Mystery Action', bump n' go style toy that requires two 'D' cell batteries for operation.

An outstanding original was borrowed for reference in the dimensioning, fit and color of this replica and it installs just as the original - an easy installation that you can do yourself with my instructions. The Kanto Space Patrol vehicle is one of the most highly sought after space toy collectibles and many times is missing this critical detail part. My re-creation is made exactly like the original 10 piece part. It comes painted in the correct colors and installs in minutes.

  • Marx Pete the Parrot This Marx Pete the talking Parrot toy from the 1960's comes to you in nearly flawless, mint condition with the original box, hang tag and instruction sheet. This awesome battery-operated toy requires 3 D cell batteries and one 9 volt battery for the talking feature. This is one of the first battery operated toys to feature the use of transistors for operation. The voice recording mechanism utilizes the 9 volt battery. Pressing one of the buttons on the base allows you to record a special message. After the recording is completed, pressing the button again plays back your message and actuates Pete's beak, eyes and head movement to imply Pete speaking with your voice. These toys are almost never seen in this virtually unplayed with condition. The original box lid has a bit of damage and the missing pieces of the front are included should you wish to have the box repaired. This is a beautiful and outstanding collectible toy.
