Chap Mei Hercules in Situ

Here are the loose weapons I found neatly blistered on original online cards. How cool are they! 

Amazingly I found the very same Centaur above, loose, a few weeks back at another sale. Chap Mei!

Super Shredder Geared Up

Here's the Turtles' spiky villain wearing the belt and spike pad like the ones I found.

Small soft FAB1 Unknown

This tiny FAB1 dated 1993 is a mystery. Any ideas?

Bank Holiday Boot Haul and Unknowns

 There's always a big car boot sale on the UK's late summer Bank Holiday Monday, so the Missus and me took off to Castleford To have a rummage.

This was my frugal haul costing in total a fiver. I had fun ID'ing most of the bits. 

Anyone know the unknowns?

Mistaken Toy Identities

 A bit of toy identity fun.

This week I caught Brave New World, the new Captain America flick with the red Hulk.

In it is a character Marvel call the Leader in the comics. 

A toy figure based on the big bonce looks like this.

In the movie Marvel decided to go for this look for the Leader.

Now I don't know about you but that movie look looks a heckuva lot like Ideal's 1960's Dr. Evil action doll, arch enemy of Captain Action pictured below!

What do you think? 

Another action doll mystery was I picked up at the local boot sale, one Mego-like Nathan Hale.

Googling said Nathan I came to this SeaQuest Captain toy.

My doll looks like this and clearly doesn't live in a sub.

Turns out he's an old American hero from days gone by.

If Nathan was boxed he'd look like this from a large vintage range by RT Toys.

Have you come across either Nathan Hale?

Have you mistaken a toy?

Mystery Toy Parts

 I recently picked up a bag of loose parts.

These two toy parts remain a mystery.

Any clues readers?

Hey presto!

1990's Redbox Aircraft Carrier

Mystery American Truck

oK, I've now seen this truck in two different American sci-fi shows., the series Falling Skies and the DC movie The Flash, being the truck that nearly runs over the girl outside the pet shop near the start. 

Anyone recognize this truck? Excuse the poor screenshot.

Mystery Japanese Monsters

 

These are odd as a seen on a Japanese auction.

They look like little monsters, but I've no idea really. 

Have you readers? 

Bizarre Oz Space Balls on Beach

This is bizarre!

These strange spheres have landed on Oz's beaches.

Australian Fire Department

Seeing the photo I immediately thought of the LP space dome balls as seen on my friend Paul Vreede's fabulous website! Could the objects be big LP's!

You can read the full BBC account of this Australian beachcomber space junk found in Queensland here:

Have you any space junk?

Ever come across anything that's been in space?

Mystery Spaceship Toy

 I had to look twice at this dalekesque spacecraft online. I thought it might be a Major Matt Mason vehicle I don't know!

Standing just 12cm tall it's alas, too short for the burly Major.

Is there another suitable figure you'd get to pilot it readers?

I'm unsure if it's make and whether it moves too.

Mystery Thunderbird 2

Recently on eBay this motorised TB2 is a mystery to me. 8.5 inches long, do you recognise it?

Postscript

Taking up Arto's suggestion, here's the Lincoln Thunderbird 2 kit and their Space Warship kit for comparison.

Space Warship

And my own afterthoughts,

ASC Space Patrol

And the MOLTO TB2

Mystery Spaceship

 I saw this online the other day. I've no idea what it is.

It opens up and I wonder if a pilot sat inside?

Could be Japanese? 

Anyone recognize it?

Mystery Model Moonbase

On first glance I thought this covert art was all painted but I'm wondering if the moon base is a model of sorts. What do you think?

Mystery MAC

I must say I like the look of this. I assume it's a space station but I've no idea. The Japanese sense of design is simply amazing.

It's says MAC.

Anyone know it? 

The Bear Essentials

I was hoping for a Wartburg but I was chuffed with this Märklin BMW. A Kaiser's ransom at 1 Euro in a pop-up shop fleamarket. It's a tidy thing. All the doors and bonnet and boot open and I love the metallic green. I had no idea that Märklin released die-casts. You?

Much harder to ID is this ceramic bear we picked up in Eisenach. 

A simple stylized look. The bare base stamped with numbers doesn't help either. It's a mystery.

As is this young ceramic boy with his frilly shirt. Sat down, he seems to be scratching his head. Maybe he's taken a bump to it?

No markings whatsoever except the residue of card and glue underneath. He was adhered to something. Another mystery 

Any ideas?

Kan You Kaiju?

 I like Kaiju but I don't know the names beyond the big four.

Here's a bagged Kaiju from 1995 I don't recognize. You?

It was all Yellow

I've no idea what this is. It's got Kleeware or Renewal vibes with all that coloured plastic. 

But there's a metal base.

I do know that I like it! 

You?
