Back in 2019 I did an in depth post on the Corgi Monkeemobile and other related Monkeemobile ephemera . Here's a reminder.

The MPC model kit. I have this kit, still unmade in the box which I hope to put together in the not too distant future.
As a kid i had the 1/24 Monkeemobile kit. However, I remember it not as an MPC kit, but what I suspect was an Airfix reissue.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not sure why the Airfix version is labelled as 1:24 as it's surly the same kit. It's also described as 1:24 on what appears to be a very slightly altered Imai version.
DeleteGreat photos. I never had the die cast as a kid but it was always around. It somehow has a Spectrum saloon feel to it.
ReplyDeleteCheers Kev.I can see what you mean about the SPC look. Maybe it's the pointed front and the red colour. Both equally cool looking cars, though.
DeleteGreat post Scoop. I always loved the Monkeemobile die cast as a kid. A truly brilliant design. Later in life I was thrilled to be able to have an Airfix Monkeemobile boxed kit on my vintage toy stall where it looked great.
