Available ONLY through Uncle Al's Toys is this ALL TIN replica robot driver head for the rare 'Y' Company Space Patrol Car. This head was created from photographs of the auction car from the Griffith's Auction of 2000. Only two tabs held the original head to the toy, which is probably why so many heads were lost. Also available for this car are replacement hub caps and tinted windshield!

Just like the original, this fin is faithfully recreated in tin. To make each half of the fin shape, custom stamping dies were created from an original Atom Jet fin. The halves are hand-assembled, and each new fin is then pre-fitted to an original toy ensuring accuracy and a perfect fit. We complete the fin with paint colors matching as close as possible to the original colors. The results are undeniable and sure to please. Installation is a breeze because the fin snaps easily into place like the original. *WE MAKE EACH FIN TO ORDER, SO PLEASE ALLOW EIGHT WEEKS FOR COMPLETION.*

This is a wonderful, 1999 Fisher-Price Dino-roarrr TYRANNOSAURUS REX, mint carded toy. It is a newer version of the popular F-P 'Puffalump' dinosaurs. I nearly had a cow the first time my wife and I came upon our first 'Puffalump' dinosaur. He was so soft and squeezable. I just wasn't expecting the sound that came from the toy when squeezed. It starts out as a high shrill noise and slowly descends into a cooing, 'Aaah' sound. An absolute gas and I was immediately sold by its appeal to small children. I purchased this toy brand new in 1999 and have kept it in sealed stored condition. This guy comes to you in vivid GREEN. When squeezed, he opens his mouth and out comes the sound of a very content Dino-roar! Also available is and equally fun Triceratops in vivid PURPLE color. These toys are fabulous for collectors or for those parents who want to give their little ones cherished vintage gifts. Very few left in this condition that aren't already in private collections.
