I was actually in Smyths the other day looking for Halloween stuff (there was none) and the displays were pretty-much the same as these shelfies, which I actually shot back in August, but which I didn't get around to posting in Rack Toy Month, so, basically - all still available from Smyths!
This has previously been seen in B&M, seems to be a generic, but similar to HGL / HTI stuff we saw here a few years ago, I think I now have some of these in the loose stash courtesy of Jon Attwood's donations or charity-shop bags?
These are the sort of thing which will start turning-up in charity bags in about 18-months time, so worth knowing, simply to attribute, at a later date; Epoch Games, also gets them in the Tag-list! Seems to be a variation of Buckaroo or the old load-a-camel game!
Unbranded generic here, and again the dinosaurs look familier?
A full display of
Schleich, with fantasy, dinosaurs, wild and domestic animals, both boxed and single-pick items. You can't fault the attention to detail and realism, but the price takes them out of the reach of poorer kids, in a way
Britains didn't really?
Just Play have these out at the moment, there have been so many chunky vinyls of
Disney's main characters, there's a book to be written on them at some point, in the meantime this will help ID five of the many thousands!
Pokemon blisters and boxes, again several ranges over the years, all quite small scale, and running to many characters/poses, I think these were
Mindstorm Toys, but probably licensed from
Tomy or
Mattel, both of whom have had the properties for twenty/thirty-odd years now?
Cartoon characters in
Hot Wheels cars . . . and things! A perennial favourite with younger kids, I have a small self-published tome in the library by a Don Elliot (
Comic Character Cars), which covers these up to the 1980's, from many makers!
Finishing-up this batch with bubble-liquid bottles topped-off with hatching dinosaur eggs!
