Added a small gallery today of Polythene Miniatures from Hong Kong. These are another of the Matchbox Lesney look-a-like models. These small models were produced in Hong Kong in the 1960's and while some of the models were not proto-types that Matchbox made, the box style with the arched writing mimicked the Matchbox marketing style of the era. These simple plastic models … [Read more...] about Polythene Miniatures from Hong Kong

New pages for Cyclops, Moldex, and Ross Plastics
I managed to make some time today to create new pages for Cyclops, Moldex, and Ross Plastics. The Cyclops page I should have added ages ago, but I do not have much in the way of toys, just a fabulous Cyclops Toys sales brochure from the 1960's. Moldex Ltd made plastic toys in Melbourne in the 1950's and was also acquired by Lines Bros in the UK. Moldex produced a number … [Read more...] about New pages for Cyclops, Moldex, and Ross Plastics

It was in a small collection of cereal toys that I purchased recently and it appears to have been partnered with a Cowboy from the late 1950's so the era is possibly correct, but it is not included in the list of Cowboy and Indian cereal toy series. It is nicely detailed on a small rectangular pedestal base or plinth. Blue flexible … [Read more...] about Cereal Toy or not
