Where To Watch
Can you guess which real people these vintage toys are based on?
Sports stars, musicians and even presidents had their own games and figurines.
For as long as there have been famous faces in America, there have been merchandisers selling items with those famous faces on them. The trend really kicked into gear in the 20th century with the rise of Hollywood and professional sports.
Here are 10 toys modeled after celebrities as far back as the early 1900s all the way through the 1980s. Boomers will surely recognize a few Sixties and Seventies childhood favorites.

10/10 super easy
10/10 If I didn’t enlarge the picture to see the faces better I might not have done so well
9/10 Missed the boxing one. I could barely see the picture but I saw a guy with a moustache and thought he looked more like Joe Frazier than he did the other two. Between the two of us, my brother and I had the Evel Knievel racing bike and the Cher doll with stage. Cher was mine 🙃 and I did love her with her long hair and cool clothes. She was the exotic, more sophisticated friend to my Barbies.
10/10!

The baseball game had me stumped but I managed to get it right.
10 out of 10. Born in 1970 and remembered almost every toy. Although the Monkee’s drum kit was kind of a gimme, you could see the guy’s on the base.
10/10 I know my toys
First 10 out of 10 for a long time
10 out of 10. I was born in 1970. My older sisters toys were cool. As a Tomboy, the Evel K was my favorite. I still have it but, he is naked...must have done that🤔 Wish I had his clothes. Motorcycle, ramp, Evel...it still works.
Try eBay you never know what they have
I had the 'girl's' version - Derry Daring. Remember her, with the pink & silver jumpsuit, and I think a panther on her helmet? 😀
