I wanted to know what the tag said.
Your mickey toy is cool too
Hah thanks man - I still have to get the info from the tag that Vestaswind above you was curious about. Love your stuff btw!
Why thank you how old are you?.Are you a new collector?
Maybe I can find out. I'm guessing it's in Japanese? I have a green one that is why I was curious. And thanks!
Oh weird - you have one!
Toyman - I'm 30. I've been into toys for as long as I can remember though, I think it did start with Fisher-Price stuff when I was a kid, the stuff I still have and my 4-year-old son now plays with - and it's only gotten worse with the 80s and 90s toys/cartoons. Hah. But I love the older things too. :)
If you saw how much stuff I have you wouldn't think it weird at all :)
Haha probably not. I just meant I hadn't seen one like this before, then I saw a couple on eBay, and it's crazy you stumbled across me and you happen to have one too! Neat.
You saw some on ebay? I never have. What were they going for?
Not much. Haha. $10? Which is why I may just end up keeping it. :) I've had offers but I do love it a lot.
I didn't think they went for much. They are made so well and don't look like they were made in the 80's. I won't get rid of mine either.
