Wooden rocket ?

1960 CAA "rocket"

wood w/metal fins

No idea where this thing came from - (found at the flea market) - seller said it might be linked to Angola ? If so not so much a rocket then some type of artillery shell ?

All I know is these would make excellent futuristic bowling pins !

A Skye Terrier with an accent ?

Pollux (Dougal) Delacoste, France, 1965

In Portugal, the series was known as "Carrossel Mágico" (spelled as "Carrocel Mágico"), and aired on RTP in 1966. The dub was based on the original French version (with the characters having their own voices), and several of the characters were renamed, with Pollux/Dougal being called "Franjinhas". It was also the first foreign children's series to be dubbed into European Portuguese. 

Freedom !!!

Here is a strange rubber toy found at the feira...  made in Czechoslovakia. It is strange how babies in these countries are completely strapped down before being put in their craddles. The word cocoon comes to mind, but is there really a scientific reason to do this ?

Wrapped baby, Czechoslovakia, 1970's ?

Astro, you're full of air...

A bootleg, of course. But I found this one at the "loja do Chinês" for under 5 EUR. And it works ! B/O with spinning fan on top and light in head. Since you don't see a lot of Astroboys in Portugal, this one was a no brainer...

Astroboy, fan, China, 2010's

Why the black nose ?

Anyone has seen these around on Hoth ?

No idea who made these figurines but they are pretty detailed for monochrome plastic ... Maybe part of a board game ?

Snowtrooper and Snowspeeder pilot ?

When all you have is a piece of a moviestill...

Alien Trash Monster (Dianoga), Kenner, USA, 1977

This baby came from the US-version of the (vintage) Death Star Space Station (not the UK / Palitoy cardboard one, but the plastic version by Kenner.

You have to admit Kenner product-designers did a great job when all the source-material they had were some movie stills of only the eye-part of the beast...
