What's the oldest figure in your collection?

[plastichero]

My Steve Austin Bionic (AKA - Six Million dollar) Man figure (1976?).

"We have the technology to build the world's first Bionic toy. Steve Austin will be that toy."

[drbo]

The absolute strangest thing I own (sadly not a toy) is a 100% authentic Playboy Club trophy mounted Bunny tail. Plaque under the tail reads "caught live at the playboy club".

Well, depending on what you do with it, it sure could be a toy...

I also have a nekkid Six Million Dollars Man figure somewhere that me older cousin gave me. Red speedos with printed circuit on it just rules!

[plastichero]

He does rule! Luckily mine has his track suit. Unfortunately for him it’s redish/hot pink. Well, it was the 70’s I guess.

An Imperial 1969 Chinese Dragon. You can see it in my gallery.

I have an old lead/metal soldier that I found under my house...My house was built in the late 30's early 40's . I have no idea what toyline its from as it has no markings but it is ver heavy and I'd say my oldest toy.

Tomy bathtubbie from 1973 I think. then a smaller, carded one from 75'.

[BoogDoc7]

I've got that "Shooter" motorcycle figure that's probably from the 60s or so...nothing lately, but I have come across some 50s and 60s stuffed that I more or less immediately flip when I get them.

great topic. the head on that superman figure is really really cool. since i only collect 3 3/4" scale off the top of my head my oldest figure is my smokey bear from 72, the same year im from. i do have a couple of old cast iron mechanical banks that could date back as far as 1880.

That thing must be worth quite a lot...

[brcthrift]

I have an old magnetic pluto from the 1930s.

[The Riddler]

I have a pet rock thats like 2 million years old!!! On a more serious note my oldest toys would come from my PEZ colection...mostly early to late 70's,

[else3573]

I forgot about Pez, thanks Riddler! My oldest would be a short ear bunny pez then, no feet. Not sure exactly when it's from though, but I believe the mist 60's.

[The Riddler]

That short eared bunny might even be from the 50's Else....if the patent # is 2.6......pretty sweet!

[else3573]

Cool, I didn't know that!

[rawlin]

Mine is this one I believe


No idea what it is, but it's metal and becomes a train. My mother says it's my first toy.

[rihia2k]

Always think of my Mada and Grok from Mego's 1 million bc as my oldest figures, but I guess Star Wars figs were circulating in the seventies too. (SW just don't seem as old)

I bet I've got summin' older in storage... a rubber dragon or the one troll I own... it's a good question...

[reviewthis]

my oldest toy would be my mego superman or batman figures.

[proteus]

i think the oldets figure i have is an original 1977 jawa- thats not very old is it? i love that era of toys- star wars classic battlestar etc.

[proteus]

the superman figure looks a lot like George Reeves doesnt it?

[collectingnut]
