  • Lindberg the Civil War, Union Horse-drawn Field Artillery kit. This is a reissue plastic model kit in sealed, new condition. I am the original purchaser of these kits and I only have SIX available so don't hesitate as they never last long. I purchased these kits 11 years ago and just cracked the case seal for these pictures. The second case of 3 kits is still sealed. These models have never seen a temperature above 68 degrees so I know they are crisp and perfect.
  • Yonezawa Champions Racer Replica Box, Agajanian This is a brand new, high grade replica box for the large Champions Racer #98 car or the Agajanian Racer of the same size. A good friend lent me his pristine original box to take dimensions and photograph the image. As you can see, the artwork is flawless and crisp. I added a bit of distress to this example so that it would look more age appropriate to the car. (Car is NOT included and is NOT available for sale at this time. It is shown for clarity and to demonstrate fit inside the new box.) Much attention to detail was employed in the creation of this replica, such as the exact box dimensions, folded seam lines for all panels, the return legs for stapling, the correct image size, border reveal and so much more. The last 4 images are of a straight forward crisp box with now additional detailing or aging. I'll be happy to age and distress upon request. As you can see in my photos, the box looks fabulous when displayed with the Champions Racer.(not included) And because the box fits the car perfectly, it's an excellent bit of protection for moving or storage. Even if you don't have the car, the box is an excellent display piece! Very few original boxes exist and seldom show up for sale. When they do show up, they're almost as costly as the cars themselves. I only have a few of these fine reproductions available so don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed!

  • 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.

  • This is a rare Walt Disney World, Epcot Mission Space X-2 Experimental Exploration Spacecraft battery-operated toy that was only available at the theme park gift shop many years ago, and the toy is no longer produced.

I tried to capture the colors but they are much more vivid in person. An extremely well-made toy that also features an opening cockpit and retractable rolling landing gear. I have a demonstrator to play with and three in their original boxes for sale. These are highly sought after by space toy collectors and Disneyana collectors alike.

Each "Weekend Sportsman" comes equipped with an interchangeable golf club, baseball bat, tennis racket and pressure sensitive cola or beer label to apply on can. But he's a bank too! Raise his arm and his tongue comes out. Place a coin on his tongue, and as you lower his arm he swallows the coin. As the money accumulates, his belly grows and grows and grows.
  • 2004 Menards Enchanted Forest Collection 72" Standing Santa Figure We purchased this beautiful, 6' tall Old World Santa figure from our local Menards store back in 2004. Santa is extremely lifelike with thick beard, piercing eyes and real glasses! His burgandy/sage hooded robe is full and soft, covering a full length golden inner garment. The body comes in two pieces that need to be assembled; held together by 4 wing nuts and mounted to a sturdy wooden base. We displayed this Santa in our home the first year after purchasing and he has been in climate controlled storage since. I have not been able to locate a finer, LIFE SIZE Santa anywhere in my searches. This particular Santa was only offered by Menards one year and then the item was retired, as is the case with most Menards Enchanted Forest items. This item is large in its original packing box - 44" X 24" X 17" and approximately 40 pounds. Local pick up in Los Alamitos, California is preferred or shipping by freight.
  • 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!

This marvelous toy has never been out of the box and never seen a battery since the factory. As good as these toys get!

  • This is the I.W.G. Rocket Ship, Rocket World, Green Version in Box. It is an extremely fun sort of 'steam punky' rocket ship with a light up cockpit and crazy animal figure. I know there is a whole back story to the Stange Co. Rocket World toy offerings in this series but the large rocket ships really got to me! These are VERY hard to come by now and go for a premium price when you can find them. This toy comes complete with the inserts and original box. The gun fell out of the blister insert during the photo shoot but it's there.
  • Extremely nice and mint in the box is this R-1 Robot 2003 Black Stripe Edition from Rocket USA and made in China. This robot is a large skirted robot that is defined by the black trim pieces that go down each side of the toy. This version is quite a bit harder to find than the subsequent R-1 robots to hit the market, including the 'Rescue Robot'. Very simple battery toy which features Bump n Go action, flashing top light and eyes and clasping hands. R-1 operates on two 'AA' size batteries. This toy comes in its original box with inserts. It was removed for these photographs only.
  • Astro Spaceman Robot by Ha Ha Toys

    $166.75 IL Sales Tax 8%
    Very nice Ha Ha Toys Astro Spaceman Robot in his original box is ready for action! Ha Ha Toys robots are known for having better quality gear systems than newer versions of this toy and are more sought after because of that. Batteries have been installed and the toy was hand tested for function and then promptly returned to the original packaging. Astro Spaceman Robot walks with swinging arms and his chest 'dash board' lights up.  He works great and looks even greater when functioning! This toy comes in its original box with inserts. It was removed for these photographs only.
  • Very RARE, Carolina Best 'Space Walking Dogs' counter card display from the late 1960's. This counter display has all 24 originally bagged and stapled ramp walker dogs still hanging in place after nearly 50 years and looks incredible in your man cave, woman cave, home or office. Only one very unique color dog stands out from all the others . . . just amazing! I loved this item when I first discovered it. Brought back MANY fond childhood memories! How many of you remember that Lays Potato Chips put these Space Walking Dogs in their bags of chips as a promo give away?? Gosh I'm old . . . but never too old to play!
  • This is an excellent reproduction of the KO, Japan Space Whale Ship by the St. John Co., Marxu International of China. Space Whale Ship is a wind up toy that will open his mouth and tail and fins move during operation along with a 'sparking' action in the rear of the toy. Original versions of this toy sell for hundreds of dollars. There are a few subtle differences to be mindful of when looking at this toy. Original KO Space Whales have blue tinted plastic for the eyes where as the reproduction is clear plastic. Extremely nice job done on the lithography and a great addition to your collection!
