Retro Week: Mini Figures of the '80s & Fast Food toys of the '90s

A random assortment of Retro mini figures
I've just come back from another week in Toronto (happily, this visit was for a wedding rather than a funeral), so I was able to snap a few more photos of my mother's basement toy trove.



A pair of Donald Ducks
A foursome of Figment the Dragon
A trio of Mr. Snufalupagus
A trio of Garfields
A pair of unrelated finger puppets
A relaxed Jar-Jar
A ready-for-work Dinosaur
And finally, E.T. with his phone

I also found a few others that I thought might be interesting enough for their own posts, so those ones will be up over the next few days (unfortunately I didn't have the space to bring many back with me though, so I won't have access to most of these for future comparisons).

    Cute! My favorite among these is the Peppermint Patty finger puppet. "Hey, Chuck!"

      Heh, she needs the rest of the Peanuts crew, does't she?

      She's a good-natured gal, PP. She looks pretty happy among the crew she's with ;-)

    Nice! I love the E.T. :) Snuffie's pretty cute as well. They all bring back so many memories!

      The three Snuffies are favourites of mine too - I wonder if they're old enough to be from the days when he was still imaginary...

    Hi JS!
    What a lot of treasure you found there! Oh I do love Garfield, he's probably the only cat I could ever love, he's such a strop. :)
    Hugs,

      Heh, thanks! I'm not a cat person, but I feel the same way about Garfield. :)

    Cute figures :-). I'm fond of Garfield too, the jokes are so funny sometimes. And ET of course, the sweetest alien ever!

    Peppermint Patty was also the one that immediately drew my eye. Other than Snoopy, I've never seen a Charlie Brown character as a toy.

      You know, I'd never really thought about it, but you're right - Snoopy does dominate the Peanuts tie-in, doesn't he?

    I like the Peppermint Patty. I wonder what other figures were made.

      I'm not sure, but now I'm wishing I'd taken a photo of the print on the bottom of her - I'll bet someone somewhere has a database of Peanuts collectibles!

      'cause I can't resist a quick search and the Peanuts characters are so darn cute - ta da.
