Hello this is my first time posting here - there are bigger versions on the postimages website if needed but I didn't think I should fill the post with those first up

 

Recently I've catalogued mine and my brother's toy collections, and have found the board invaluable for ID'ing 99% of it but these are the left-overs that none of us could match up to a toy from memory or checking everything's instructions.

 

It should all date from between 1975 and 1995. Mostly UK but some parts might be Japanese as we have family over there.

1. Magenta teddy

2. Wheel arch? - might be Zoids or Action Force. There were two of these that went on either side of a vehicle or spaceship

3. A rubbery belt or saddle - Bib Fortuna belt - thanks SamuraiCC!

4. Rubber caterpillar skater - P.E.T. Aliens Kicktail - thanks SamuraiCC!

5. Gun - this was definitely from a Japanese construction toy - Kawada Super Adventure Series - I don't think it was "Black Scorpion" but another set from that faction

6. Crate - might be Playmobil, no obvious markings

7. Whip - might be from a Marvel action figure, it's similar scale to He-Man or Thundercats. Not sure it's complete.

8. Guns - Tonka Legions of Power (1986)

9. Ray-gun / pistol - this is similar plastic and scale to Star Wars (Kenner)

10. Handsaw - found this, it's from a Playmobil construction workers set c.1977

11. Plastic belt/bandolier

12. Cavemen - iirc these were a series of dino-riders from the early 1990s

13. ?? - pretty sure this is the arm of a DAPOL Dalek toy c.1987

14. Black battery compartment lid with spring + translucent electric light housing - first part was from a Star Destroyer playset

15. Red sprockety thing

16. Black rubber belts (x2) - nasty feeling one of them is just from a very cheap spider-man digital watch

17. (top) Plastic gun or it might be a drill (sorry I put two 17s, plz ignore the other one)

17. (bottom) Black plastic clip

18. Handles - Star Destroyer playset again

19. Landing struts/propulsion - similar scale to Manta Force. Or it might be upside-down and have gone on the roof of a flying vehicle or motorbike

20. Gun - Transformers Vortex - thanks BadLarry!

21. Hatch - this clipped on as a moving part, the reverse is flat apart from the clip. Detail implies a jerry can. So maybe it was something like a jeep. Action Man?

While double-checking this I've found 5 of them, so that's already a huge help being a sounding-board. It seems these were mainly from toys that broke and were thrown away but bits of them continued lurking in other toyboxes. It's weird what you forget and it's also weird what's been missed out of the online nostalgia sites and collector's guides. I wish I had looked up everything when I was much younger - my brother and I are struggling to divide everything before our parents pass on, and it might be that one of these little pieces can bring back a good memory and not be evidence that one of us lost something that was worth lots. Well any help is hugely appreciated and I hope something here spurs someone else's memory too

 

thanks,

Dave

For those #8 guns... they remind me of LEGIONS OF POWER.  See if that tracks!

 

Good luck!
