GLICO OF JAPAN

 
I recently acquired a trove of Japanese miniature toys on Yahoo Japan. Within it were two absolute gems but more if those later. The majority were by the sweet company Glico and comprised of beautiful plastic vehicles like cars, tanks and boats.

 
There were also comic heroes, games, animals, puzzles, pistols, rockets and a whole array of novelty toys.



There were these pin badges too. I have no idea what they are from but I'm guessing a sport. Anyone know?

  2. Really nice haul of plunder there, re. the badges...baseball? I know the Japanese are mad for baseball and they might have Anglicised names?
