I miss you my precious vinyl E.T. 😦
Though from what I’ve seen online, it looks like all of you got cracked and peeling over time and aren’t worth much today. I suppose mine would have met the same fate eventually.

  I had a Rupert Bear toy which was made from a type of foam rubber and articulated by wires inside the body and limbs. Over the years it slowly rotted away, even exposing some of the wires making it a hazard. Shame as it was such a nice brightly coloured toy when new. There are also some foam based Star Wars toys parts from the 70s and 80s that meet the same fate, not to mention some plastics degrading and losing their colour.
