Where did you get them from? And how big is the hole in the middle? Is it big enough for an egg to fit in?

The hole in the center of each is about as big as a small oval egg? Reminds me of the size of the old McDonalds McNuggets figures shape.

Maybe it is an old McDonalds toy?

I have 8 McD books and haven't found these yet. Will look again.

Nope, didn't find it in the McD books. I don't have any for other fast food toys.

Oh wow so you figured out they are moon dreamers??!?!?!  I was so stumped on this one and it was driving me crazy lol

Title: Re: Lion, Swan and Pony Made in Mexico doll vehicles?
Post by: 2526 on Sunday 25 September 2011, 07:01 pm

No, Im sorry I dont want to cause confusion. They have a similar style to Moon Dreamers type characters, I was unsure how to describe them. I have no idea what line they may be from, being sold as unknown. Thanks.

Post by: ecpblue on Sunday 25 September 2011, 09:49 pm

ah ok, good luck with the sale!

Title: Re: Lion, Swan and Pony Made in Mexico doll vehicles?
Post by: kiddy2468 on Monday 26 September 2011, 03:25 am

I have looked at pictures of the Moondreamers and I think that these are just knock-offs.

I saw something at the flea market this weekend that made me think of this post. It was a play set marked Playskool that had three or four of these sort of "vehicles" that spun in a circle when you pushed down a button in the middle. (The "vehicles" reminded me of a mixture of this and the Moondreamers animals. The center, though, was different.) Off to the side was a ferris wheel. If I go back this week or weekend, I will take a picture. :D

I found this hope it helps

I actually read that the toy didn't do very good and fell apart so maybe that is where these are from.

Nice find, that looks like it to me!!

Post by: Mysstica on Monday 14 November 2011, 12:37 am

That's what I saw at the flea market. :)

And yeah, seeing them next to one another like that, it looks like that's what the pieces are from. :D

Here's the picture for the thread. :)

It seems to have the same mold as this set (but with different figures on the carousel):

I'm not sure why yours were packaged separately, though?

Post by: ecpblue on Monday 14 November 2011, 05:21 am

wow is that cute!  Nice job Zuse!!  Maybe they weren't sold separate but that they were able to come off so you could play with them by themselves as well?

Title: Re: Lion, Swan and Pony Made in Mexico doll vehicles?
Post by: zuse on Monday 14 November 2011, 05:58 am

I guess my question is - was the cellophane in the original post picture factory or not? Because obviously for this set they were sold attached to the carousel base, not included elsewhere in the box individually wrapped.

Title: Re: Lion, Swan and Pony Made in Mexico doll vehicles?
Post by: kiddy2468 on Monday 14 November 2011, 06:04 am

Well I read that the toy fell apart easily and the figures were sold separately and a lot cheaper. I'm guessing they sold extras if the original ones fell off or broke.

Title: Re: Lion, Swan and Pony Made in Mexico doll vehicles?
Post by: zuse on Monday 14 November 2011, 06:08 am

Oh, you mean the carousel animals cracked apart at the middle seam or something? :)

I have been trying to find a review and I came across this ad:

Post by: kiddy2468 on Monday 14 November 2011, 05:58 pm

Well I did find this it says that the toy fell apart from being folded up.

Post by: zuse on Monday 14 November 2011, 11:48 pm

I suspect that "review" is mismatched to that toy. I don't see that it folds up. And it's a toy from 1991 and only had the one seller list it on Amazon.com Marketplace... And the review isn't actually on the Amazon.com listing.

Update:

Yep. Those two review are for the "Toy Story Pop-Open Playworld" (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001R675YU/)

Flimsy and easily broken, September 19, 2010
This toy lasted about 3 days before it stopped folding easily and pieces started to break. The only durable pieces are the figures, which you can buy separately and far less expensively.

super cute, August 6, 2010
I know we are only in August, but I like to start my Christmas shopping early. When we received it, my daughter (the toy is not for her but for her little brother) fell in love with it!!!! We both cannot wait until Christmas morning to see the expression on his little face. My husband was able to find more figurines at the Disney Store. All in all we (8 year old daughter and I) would recommend this toy.

Okay thanks but I am curious as to why these three are not with the carousel toy. Are they ones that just didn't get put on or something?

Title: Re: Lion, Swan and Pony Made in Mexico doll vehicles?
Post by: pikapal on Saturday 19 November 2011, 07:09 am

Maybe they were just extra parts that were sold separately.
