Title: [5 0f 6 ID-ed] Various mini toys from the 80's and 90's
Post by: Ianua on Tuesday 13 July 2010, 09:25 pm
Ok you clever lot you've had too little to do lately lol  ;)
Luckily for you I came across a few old toys in a box I came across at my mums so heres plenty.. should keep Zuse and Em busy for ...oh about five minutes xxxx  :D ;D :)

The first are these odd little oodle knock offs I know I had about 6 of each in black and white but these were all that were in there when I got the box back.

ID: Magic Nursery Babies fakies, same mould but cheap repaints

(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj141/powerpuffruth2000/Ghost%20of%20the%20doll%20photos/DSC00263.jpg)

The second is this weird purple little baby.

ID: Li'l Babies rare colour variant (Europe)

(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj141/powerpuffruth2000/Ghost%20of%20the%20doll%20photos/DSC00273.jpg)

It might actually be a lil baby did they make some in strange colours?



The third are more little baby figures but they are not lil babies (though they do look similar) because I collected them and these are too small I've included a real lil baby lying down to help people get an idea of their size.


(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj141/powerpuffruth2000/Ghost%20of%20the%20doll%20photos/DSC00272.jpg)


The fourth are these weeny (and I do mean weany) baby faeries again photographed next to the real lil baby so you can tell how tiny they are. I'd love to I.D these so I could get some more, any clues guys?!?!

ID: Star Castle accessories, produced by Trendmasters in 1994.

(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj141/powerpuffruth2000/Ghost%20of%20the%20doll%20photos/DSC00275.jpg)

Moving on from babies for a bit the 5th item is a cute snail isn't he sweet but I have no idea what he's from any clues guys

ID: Onken Yogurts free toy

(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj141/powerpuffruth2000/Ghost%20of%20the%20doll%20photos/DSC00259.jpg)


Next and finally a little doll in a sitting position.

ID: Onken Yogurts free toy

(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj141/powerpuffruth2000/Ghost%20of%20the%20doll%20photos/DSC00260.jpg)


Well come on peoples I have faith in you  ;)
I'll do a second album for the rest I know it gets confusing if too many in one thread xxx

I posted about those funny little coloured fairies a while back when I saw them on Ebay - no one knew who they were then and I still don't know. They're cute though :)

I've seen the rainbow coloured li'l babies on ebay.co.uk and european ebays - I'm not sure if they are li'l babies or not. Does you li'l baby have any markings that match with the purple one?

Yeah but they were ALL cast from the stolen oodle moulds and the oddles have them too so we can't really use those indications  :(

I had the yoghurt snail! The pot was shaped like a frisbee and the toy was in the middle. I'm sure I got some of these little green turtle/frog type toys from those yoghurts, they were glossy and almost ceramic feeling rather than plastic.

That croc looks a lot like the little red dragon on my other thread I know what you mean about the glossy plastic the dragons the same.

I don't know why but I'm really tempted to say Kinder Egg rather than Onken yoghurt for the dragon and croc.
Still no luck with a link for you, Ianuna :(

They were definitly not kinder but they were very similar to the kinder range of teeny terrapins and crazy crocs but smaller that sort of plastic though. They were from before kinder started including models. I'll try and find some more photos of the other models

Here's an image of a Trendmaster's Star Castle. You can see the little fairy type miniatures in the image above the blue turret:

Your crocodile is from Bofrost "Kroco Gang" from 1995. I can only find mention of Bofrost being German.

Here's an image from an excellent food toy site:

The first pic is of Magic Nursery baby mold fakies.  I say fakies because they don't look quite the right shade or detailed enough.  Here are some pics for mold/color reference and one with a box included:

(these are the unpainted variety- they came both ways)

I love these things so if you are ever looking to rehome them, I'm interested!

Post by: Ianua on Monday 26 July 2010, 09:33 pm
there really sweet zap I didn't know they did small magic nursery babies I remember my sister having a largish (bout cabbage patch size) doll which I'm sure was a magic nursery baby it had an outfit that was revealed when you put it in water to discover if it was a boy or girl.

I agree they are probally fakies there kinda more shiny than the ones you posted

I have lots of swaps of lil babies if you need any of them tell me I need 2 to finish my collection I need 45. Noodlancy and 41. Garyoodle.

Just for the curious, Mini babies are frequently seen on ebay Italy and ebay Greece.
http://cgi.ebay.it/GEMELLINI-GIG-VINTAGE-LOTTO-STOCK-15-pz-/110606834971?pt=Personaggi_da_Collezione&hash=item19c0ae5d1b

The blisters they were sold inside had a transparent area where you could actually see which babies you were going to buy. Each blister contained two mini babies and a leaflet:
