Diecast, Dinky and Toy Cars
Most people have heard of Dinky, and almost everyone will have heard of Corgi and Matchbox diecast cars and vehicles. Their names epitomise childhood to many. Examples dating pre-1945 are very popular, especially if boxed. Throughout the decades after 1945, almost everything could be found in diecast form – cars, lorries, military vehicles, construction machines, space vehicles. Britains even turned animals and humans into sets. Each now have their own dedicated collectors. Some of the most popular are associated with TV programmes and film.
Vintage Toys and Action Figures
The area of biggest growth in recent years comes from television and film merchandise from classic 1970s and ‘80s shows, often in the form of action figures. Action Man, Lone Ranger, Rambo, and of course the iconic Star Wars figures are now a big collectors market. Demand for other figures such as Thundercats, He-Man, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is also growing. With the principal plastic toy producers Palitoy and Invicta Plastics once based in Leicestershire, a good deal of items surface from past employees’ collections.
