STAR WARS - Skeleton Crew props & costume

What about this? It is not a better match than the Stranger Things version? It is called Captain from Eveready too.

It looks like It has an orange cover over the grooves, right?

Yup. There are also a few versions of the same flashlight "Captain' with several switches.

I seem to recall the later versions of this type flashlight (going way back to my youth here) replaced the ribbed metal centers with plastic tubing. Maybe in the 70's sometime? I think the all-chrome ones were 60's vintage and already beat up when I was a kid.

I spotted this white magic cube style among kids belongings...

I'm be updating my walkie label ASAP, looks like the color timing on the show really shifted the appearance of the label.

Great images, COD KEY it is

For anyone who doesn't know how to save Instagram images, attached below (I used to be one)

Been playing with a LED sequence for a Arduino Nano, just random, if anyone wants the code (no I'm no Arduino master) Walkie_Talkie_LEDS.zip

There... And I think that ball is also a puzzle ball. And there is a vintage electronic game

I want those tin solders…

What is going on with the yellow flash light?

Yellow silicone sleeve? The edge cap is weird.. Graflex d ring on the bottom?

Regarding game: bezel is different at the top, but button arrangement resembles math toys like the Touch N Tell Me line:

Ball: size looks right for a Magic 8 Ball, just extremely tarted up here.

 

[the.rebel.agent]

totally. that backpack is full of toys.

Found this one, that matches shape, amount of buttons, but not the color. Screen used appears to be white. It is unbranded as far as I know. Called

Practise Math Educational Key Board​

PS: Screen used was modified/painted for sure

If the “action figures” turn out to be modified tin soldiers (I suspect so, because Reasons), these were guys at attention with swords, bayonet rifles, or flags. What’s distinct is that they’re left-handed (less common but not unheard of), which could narrow the search considerably, if they’re indeed built on found objects. (example image is common right-handed)

That is for sure coated with something. Maybe epoxy, but that is not the colored ones I remember, and clearly "coated" with something.

Re: the d-ring, if you run with the.rebel.agent's suggestion of the Eveready Captain, they have a built in d-ring. If you start to dig, saddle up for the vintage flashlight rabbit hole. It's a lot. You know how these people are that get super interested in some specific vintage item... they can be real weirdos I hear.

Looks like they are "at attention" like this one:

 

[Halliwax]

Sure does!

The trouble in tracking down the correct soldier (if they used a found part, as pburgess stated above) is to find one with the legs apart. For most, the legs are together: most of the time standing at attention requires the legs to be together (as far as I know), and it's easier to sculpt and cast.
