plastic love

i hit the jackpot yesterday.

i found these great toys at a local discount store that sells items from liquidations, overstocks, and old warehouse stock. all of the toys pictured here were selling for under a dollar each, so naturally i couldn't resist purchasing them for my vintage collection.

some are marked with a copyright of 1985 (i still can't believe 80's is considered vintage these days...i feel so freakin' old!), and most of them are marked "made in hong kong for famus corporation in brooklyn, new york." (yes, it does say famus, not famous.)

my favorites are the tiny tiger metal tea set and the travel kit (with the pan am airline boarding pass/ticket cover!! how totally old school is that!?)
