Well isn't that a jaunty hat

Super jaunty. If only he had his stitched holster and Bulls-Eye.

Unless there's a "What's This Toy?" thread I'm missing, I figure this is an acceptable place to post...

I picked up a small container of 'Monster in My Pocket' at a garage sale on the weekend for one-dollar. The container included a number of similar toys. Among them was some dinosaurs which I was able to identify as these toys from Panosh (which I'd never heard of before) and these two figures below, which I haven't had any luck identifying. Can anyone say what they are? The figure on the right is a Monster included for scale.

The yellow figure looks like just a regular triceratops except it's wearing some sort of armor on its back (or am I just not up on dinosaur species?). It has no markings but it's a little soft - not as soft as a Monster though.

The purple figure is hard plastic and on the back it reads either OY.N.T. or C (Copyright) Y.N.T. Below it has the letters S and B.

Which of you will solve this great mystery?

That's a M.U.S.C.L.E. figure, his name is Black Hole.

And I'm thinking the dinosaur is from the Dinomites series, at least it looks like it is.

Yep, D.I.N.O. Mites:

Hours passed, probably 100 men came by and each strained themselves and couldn't solve even just one, but then you logged in and BAM, both solved!

Thank you very much for that, I appreciate it.

Anyone remember the line of figures called GUTS by Mattel?, i had some of the infantry sets and the ninja sets.

Yup! I actually have a couple of the 5 packs around here somewhere.

 

[galactiboy]

GUTS was a cool series... only had a few as a kid, but very fun toys back in the day

Pretty sure Slade has a full set of them; or at least had a lot when we used to live together.

 

[MANDO]

Guts were pretty cool. Only remember them vaguely though despite owning a few.

What was the Micro-Machine-esque military line where things like guns, grenades, and flashlights woud transform into playsets for small scale figures/vehicles? My brother and my cousin loved the hell out of those!

Army Gear by Galoob.

Army Gear was awesome, I had a bunch of those.

I just picked up these locally pretty cheap. Anyone remember Parasites by Matchbox?

They were robots that folded up inside of diecast cars:

The cards are beaters so I'm going to bust these open and have some fun.

 

[galactiboy]

Nice, I had completely forgotten about Army Gear... man those were pretty cool.

Don't remember the parasite cars at all (I was never really into them) but those are sweet

Picked up a decent looking Kenner Taun Taun at a swap meet this weekend. Only a dollar, but he's missing the harness and saddle. Anyone have extras?

He might need a little cleaning... Usually I would dip this stuff in an Oxyclean bath for an hour or two, maybe more, but he's got that little spring inside that I don't want to get all rusty... any advice? He MIGHT be a bit discoloured, not sure yet.

First vintage buy in a while. I'm not really into the Star Wars vehicles and stuff, but I like the creatures and would like to get both versions of the Taun Taun, the Wampa, the Dewback and the Rancor, as well as some of the smaller vehicles like the Speeder Bike.

Nice! Totally remember that line. Army Gear too, though I don't think I actually had any of those... My cousing did, I remember clearly.

Army Ants was another similar line that I liked back then.

Holy crap! I had the green snake as a kid and never knew what it was from. Any chance you have that one?

 

[Valfar]

I'd love to pick up the Saw Boss from the Wheeled Warriors line some day, it was the only vehicle/character i had from that line and i did watch Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors when i was younger just not many fond memories of the show just that toy.

 

[galactiboy]

I never had any of the toys from Wheeled Warriors... but I did have one of those water color coloring books; thing was f'n awful

Nope, it's one of the 3 I need for my set.
