Mooching round Matlock's vintage shops I saw this die-cast shelf. Pink Panther and the blue wheely thing, are they Kenner Revrods?
Two SPVs. Looks like one's been painted dark blue.
The bagged balloon car bottom left is interesting. Anyone know it?
Bong Moonbuggy here. Can you name the red game part used at the rear of it? (Quiz question). The Interceptor has been repainted too. The bagged car hung up top left is another one of those unusual balloon powered vehicles.
This would have been my take-away if I'd been spending, this amazing Mattel Wizzer Gift Set. I absolutely adore the boomer box art! I had a Wizzer as a kid, a fabulous weighted spinning top. Did you?
a bit of spirited restoration going on there, the Bond buggy is a dogs breakfast! The two Balloon cars are Matchbox Zoomie Balloonies - basically a vac form shell over a diecast chassis with a plastic tubular body. A balloon was inflated and then attached to the top of the monster body, which forced air into the tube and out the rear end, which had a rubber tube attached to make a noise. The car was supposed to zip along making a loud farting sound. A bit naff, as the balloon invariably tipped the whole thing over due to its height. Bill
ReplyDeleteTa Bill. I didn't know what those ballooners were. Never seen em afore. Have you got all the Revrods?
DeleteCan't believe I forgot those tops! My brother and I had a bunch. I remember having one that glowed in the dark. It came with skull stickers. Plus I almost remember that there were accessories. I think there was some game to play with them?
