[ID: Cheeky Mouse & Cool Cat] Yellow Rounded House Shaped Lunchbox With Mouse - Any Ideas?

[wheelz34]

Hi, I'm looking for an odd toy from round about 1984 onwards.  It was a bright yellow lunchbox, kinda flat and rounded with windows and a door that opened and there was a plastic mouse figure that fitted inside.  The whole thing was made of plastic and I *believe* it was by Bluebird as I live in the UK.  The lunchbox opened and you could put things inside but it wasn't really a dollhouse as such, it just looked like it from the outside, along with the fact that the door opened.

I'd love to own another one if anyone has any clues as to the name of the item?  I remember later on they did an actual playset which was like a more of a toy and that was cute.

Thanks!

Could it be Mr. and Mrs. Elly and Andy Mouse by Remco? The had a yellow rounded house sort of with a door that didn't open.

No it's definitely not that.  The door on the box opened and that's where the mouse lived.  Incidently, there was a little hole for its tail to go through when you opened the door, lol!

I know!!! He was called cheeky mouse you could also get a cat one called cool cat. Ladybird did books about them too and there was also a double play set which came with both of them. I don't think anyone had one where cheeky mouses tail wasn't chewed .

I also had the mouse hole playset with cat food car and the family playset there's a pic of it here

BRILLIANT! That's exactly the thing I had, thanks so much.  I'd totally forgotten it was called 'Cheeky Mouse'. I remember having the yellow handbag and another playset. Wish I still had them, lol!
