It's good to be the king...

Babar (blown plastic)

? no markings

 

The Kaiser's limo...

Flying Bug, Matchbox, England, 1972

I had this one as a child. Bismark with moustache and all driving Ferdinand Porsche's creation.

And of course they had to add jet engines... The stock VW did the 0-100 km mark in a whopping 27.5 seconds... wouldn't you ?

It's really getting hard to travel...

They are, 80 days are, 80 nothing more, to go around the world!

Nowadays a lot harder to achieve due to all the Covid restrictions ...

Willy Fog, unmarked, Spain ?, 1983-84

Check more about the cartoon here.

Pirates of the sea

Pirate with anchor, ?

Corsair, ? 

One-legged Captain, ?

No idea where these were made or came from. No markings... Just that weird tube with a hole in the base... I just like the colours

A future for fossil fuels ?

This simple design is still one of my favorites for futuristic verhicles... Tankers will probably all but dissapear in the future (at least for fossil fuels), but this is what it may have looked like...

Archer Space Truck, USA, 1952

design à la Buck Rogers

... whenever you need to transport your space gasoline !

Gliding into space ?

2001 Space Glider, Hong Kong ? 1970's ?

Just found at the Feira da Ladra !

a one button remote ? really ?

Definitely not the same tooling... 

Project Sword Space Glider, Century 21 Toys, Hong Kong, 1967

This is one I have in my collection since childhood...

A lot of other colour combinations and models of this toy exist. To see more of them, please check the MOONBASE CENTRAL blog.

And if you ask yourself if it ever existed... of course, it did. It was in fact one of the experimental planes (X-Planes) from Nasa itself - so the Nasa markings on the toy make perfect sense !

M2-F2 lifting body (picture courtesy of NASA)

The M2-F2 was a joint program between NASA and Northrop Corporation. The aircraft flew 16 times between 1966 and 1967. All flights of the M2-F2 were non-powered glide flights performed by dropping the aircraft from a modified wing pylon of a B-52 aircraft. See more information on the X-Planes here.

So now you know why they were called Space gliders... these had no power of their own in real life...

Pictures of Sunday's toy-fair here in Lisbon

Thanks David for your help...

...who do you call ?

... holly cowl Batman !

Lill' Yellow bot

Robot, Hong Kong, 1970's-1980's ?

Take the tram !

Tramway (Copenhagen), Hanse, Denmark, 1950's

In Denmark, you have LEGO, but did you know there were a lot of different toy manufacturers over there ? And before the plastic bricks took over the world, a lot of them (including LEGO and HANSE) used the readilly available wood.

Paper overlay (like Fisher Price toys).

The funny thing about this one is that it is almost the same color as the famous "Elétrico 28" that I have in my street here in Lisbon !

It's a chopper baby !

Piasecki (?) helicopter, KA Japan, 1970's ?

(There is not much I could find on the "KA" Japanese toy-manufacturer. If someone has more information to give me regarding this company please don't hesitate to contact me.)

The small jumbo Goldorak / Goldrake

Goldorak / Goldrake, Fabianplastica, Italy, 1978

Thanks to Tomeke to help me get this one back to glory ! (repro stickers, axes) 

As a side note, a lot of this toys is the same as the Mazinger seen here.
 

Sesame Street

I think a lot of us grew up with these... 😊 Found them at the Feira da Ladra... Windup mechanism makes them "dance" (spin around)

Bert and Ernie (Blas y Epi), Barval, Spain, 1976

And the correct answer is...

Quiz Robot ? possibly JUMBO ?
1960's ?

Flat and same design...

on both sides !

See also similar robots here. How many different disign were there ? I don't know...

Before supermarkets...

Popeye squirt gun, Hong Kong, 1970's ?

Like a lot of these guns, trigger location is
rather questionable ...
