FAIRY FOLK

This is actually a rather varied category, including elves, dwarfs, winged fairies and assorted others. I have left mermaids for the miscellaneous section; they'll probably get their own section eventually.

I think there is a figure of the elf from the video game Legend of Zelda, but I'll have to check on that. There are also a number of characters that look like fairies, such as Wasp (from one of the Spider-man lines) and Princess Whats-her-name (from Earthworm Jim).

Other Toys

Dwarves of the Mountain King (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons; LJN/TSR, 1983)
Elves of the Woodland (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons; LJN/TSR, 1983)
Goblin (Monster in My Pocket [series 1]; late 1980s?)
Hobgoblin (Monster in My Pocket [series 1]; late 1980s?)
Jenny Greenteeth (Monster in My Pocket [series 3]; late 1980s?)
Jotun Troll (Monster in My Pocket [series 1]; late 1980s?)

Probably the best fairy toys I have ever seen are from Playmobil's fantasy line. There is a Treestump Goblin, an elf and a larger goblin that hide in a tree, and a number of different fairies, winged and otherwise.
