Shogun Warriors
Shogun Warriors :
Shogun Warriors were released by Mattel during the late 70's/early 80's and were toys of popular Japanese Super Robots from the 60's/70's. Such robots as Great Mazinga, Gaiking, and Raideen were among those featured in this toy line.
There were several different forms of Shogun Warriors, some of which were based off the old Japanese toy lines ("Chogokin" and "Popy" lines produced by Ban Dai). There were large 24-inch toys (the oddest being Godzilla), smaller die-cast metals toys (the Two-in-Ones), even smaller lesser-articulated die-cast metal toys, and vehicles. As far as I know none of the Japanese cartoons ever made it to the rest of the world. The toys featured shooting fists and other projectiles.

The original fiendishly difficult puzzle,
now with solution guide
The original fiendishly difficult puzzle, invented by Erno Rubik in Hungary and one of the biggest toy crazes ever. In 1982 Hawkin's Bazaar was the first to bring a few cases of the Rubik's Cube to England. Unfortunately 25 years ago we were very small and it wasn't long before a much larger company had the exclusive rights to distribute in the UK. We are very pleased to be offering it again! And now includes a new seven step solution guide.

Also remembered...
Playground Kids were a collection of dolls who could play on their dedicated playground equipment thanks to their grasping hands. You could fix them to a climbing frame and they would hang with their hands. Playground Kids' bodies were soft and you could pose them so they looked as if they were actually playing on the playground. Each doll came with different outfits and a styling comb so you could tame their frizzy hair. There are 15 regular Playground kids; 4 special occasion ones; 4 pre-schoolers; 5 playground kid playsets; 4 country farm kids; 5 coca cola kids and 6 dress-up playground kid outfits. Each was around 16cm tall and each had its name printed on its shoe. And unlike most dolls in the 80s or even today, the Playground Kids were boys and girls so you really could reconstruct your own playtime with them. My favourite was Ricky with his tricycle because there was a boy at school I fancied at the time also called Ricky.
