Condition: Mint condition figure in near mint condition box
1st edition vintage collectable
The term “Teddy Bear” came into being more than a century ago in 1902, when President Teddy Roosevelt was with a hunting party that captured a bear cub and tied it to a nearby tree. Upon seeing this, he ordered the bear set free.
Hearing of this noble act, a New York store owner wanted to name the toy bears in his store after the President. Thus, he wrote a letter to the President asking permission to name the toy bears “Teddy”. The President gave his consent and from that day on all toy bears are called Teddy bears.
Teddy is 13″ tall and is absolutely gorgeous! Not an ordinary furry plush toy, Teddy is constructed using high quality multi-color faux fur. He’s sporting a sewn bow in maroon, with matching foot pads bearing his name and 100th Anniversary sewn in gold thread. Teddy talks, reciting the story of how he came into being. Requires 3 AA batteries, which are included! See video below.
Teddy is still sitting on the original pedestal box he came in. He has all tags, including story card and golden embossed medallion. The pedestal box measures 9″ x 11 3/4″. This is a limited edition collectable sure to increase in value!

1970 Talking Crissy Pull String Doll w/ Carry Case
Year: 1970
Manufacturer: Ideal Toy Corp.
Condition: Good condition doll and carry case
First edition vintage collectable
Some girls loved Barbie, but just as popular in the 1970’s was the Crissy doll. The Crissy doll was made by Ideal Toy Corporation from 1969 to 1974. She was wildly popular because of her unique ability to “grow hair” with a push of a button on her tummy, and shorten it with a twist of a knob located on her back. Crissy was designed to be much larger than Barbie, too, at 18” tall. Crissy is wering her original green taffeta dress with white lace trim. This model was made in 1970. The date on her head is 1969, which is the date on all Crissy heads from 1969 to 1972.
Crissy comes with her own wardrobe storage, which is imprinted with groovy artwork of the time. The wardrobe is 8 1/2” x 3 1/4” x 19” tall when closed, and opens up with an area to keep Crissy, and additional room to store clothes and accessories.
Crissy says 12 phrases randomly when her string is pulled. The voice works but is not perfect. See the video below to hear the voice.
“Hi, I’m Crissy!”
“Let’s have a party.”
“Brush my hair please.”
“Please dry my hair.”
“Make my hair short.”
“Make my hair long.”
“My hair grows.”
“I love you”.
“I’ve got a secret.”
“I like to dress up.”
“Set my hair please”.
“Velvet talks too.”

1999 Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura 12” Action Figure in box
Year: 1999
Manufacturer: Formative Intl. Co. Ltd.
Condition: Mint condition figure
First edition vintage collectable
Who would ever think a Governor from Minnesota would have his own action figure? California’s Governor maybe, but Minnesota? When your previous career was as a professional wrestler and movie actor, anything is possible, right Arnold? Jessie had a role in the 1987 Schwarzenegger movie Predator, before serving as Minnesota’s 38th Governor from 1999 to 2003.
This is a unique collectable and probably helped get Jesse elected. The Ventura action figure was sold to help raise money and awareness of the candidate during the election. The quality is amazing, with a good likeness of Ventura, wearing a black suite, white shirt and tie and is fully articulated. He’s never been removed from his box except to photograph.
The box is in near mint condition and measures 13” x 6 1/2” x 3”. The box is a window design which opens up to a big picture and logo of Jesse.

1977 Star Wars 1st Edition 12 Original Action Figures with Millennium Falcon
Imagine waking up Christmas morning in 1977. The biggest movie of all time, Star Wars had come out over the summer and what everyone wanted for Christmas was Star Wars toys. You tear open your presents, and SCORE! The Star Wars logo! But wait a minute, what’s this? It’s only a piece of cardboard, a sheet of stickers, an invitation to join the Star Wars Fan Club, and something called an “Early Bird Certificate”. What’s going on here? Where are the toys? Is Santa ripping me off?
If you’re like me, Christmas 1977 was kind of disappointing, because there were no Star Wars figures yet, no Luke, Leia, Han or Darth Vader. That’s because there was no guarantee Star Wars would be a hit, and by the time a deal was struck with Kenner Toys, there wasn’t enough time to make toy molds for Christmas 1977. Instead, Kenner gave kids a PROMISE of toys, if you mail in your “Early Bird Certificate”. And even then, when they finally showed up, you only got 3 figures at a time. It took forever to collect them!
The good news is you don’t have to go through all that trouble, because I collected them for you. This is the set of 1st Edition Star Wars figures that were promised with the Early Bird Certificate Kit. The kit is long gone, but here are the figures, mostly all original, with some reproduction weapons to replace those lost over time. Princess Leia’s cape was lost so she’s wearing a reproduction, but other than that the figures are all original and have the 1977 copyright date molded in. See the list below.
Also original is the 1st Edition Millennium Falcon, made in 1979, the first year made by Kenner. It’s in great shape, with a little wear on the sticker markings. The original cockpit canopy was lost at some point, as was the radar dish and the interior floorboards, but they’ve been replaced with reproductions. The original sound works too, and we’ll include 2 “C” batteries so the Falcon will be powered up and ready to set a new record for the Kessel Run!
The Millennium Falcon is nearly 2 feet long: 21”long x 15” wide x 9” tall from landing gear to the radar dish and turret guns. Also included is a two sided 11″ x 17″ reproduction of the original instruction sheet. If you want to see additional photos of any of the figures or the Falcon, just let us know and we’ll send them to you.
Here is the description of the figures, as stated on the original 1977 ad:
12 authentically designed figures in realistic STAR WARS costumes. All have moveable parts, scaled to fit inside STAR WARS Space Vehicles.
• Sand People (3 3/4”) in sand fighter costume with Gaderffii Stick
