Who Goes Where ?

From the Corgi History book, here are a few of the prototype models that never made it off the drawing board, including Dr Who's 'Whomobile' (top centre) and an array of Daleks. Dan Dare's Gyro Car (below right) made it into the catalogue, but was never produced.

See the Whomobile on Blue Peter here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x78lpbj

 

THE WHOMOBILE

Kevin and the Whomobile!

He really is a Doctor!

I think Corgi made a prototype die-cast of this vehicle. Did it appear as a toy anywhere else?

HANGING ON!

 

My Missus is flogging an old sloth.

Its a cute toy fella wanting a new home.

The local Marketplace is where he's hanging.

Lots of people are contacting the Missus and saying yes to slothy but they never show up!

What's going on?

WANT A WET ASTRONAUT?

 

I had to chuckle when I saw this paddling pool online.

Fancy sitting in your own wet Nuclear Freighter II?

Splashdown!

Have you seen any other space-related pools?

BESSIE ANYONE?

 

When I saw this badge online I realised that I know nothing about Bessie. I assume it was Dr. Who's car during the Pertwee years, which is odd because I was there.

Is Bessie a car you're familiar with?

Was it released as a toy?

PS.

Just in!

Here's Kevin D with Bessie!

TERRANOVA47'S STAR WARS CHOCOLAE BAR WRAPPER

Hello Woodsy

You probably remember blogging the Star Wars chocolate wrappers that never were a while back.

Typically while looking for something else I found my Job Folder of samples with the first marker 'comp'

- (comprehensive sketch) that I did on that project to see what the client wanted.

Here it is.

Stay well,

PIXAR Anyone?

We bought 5 dvds for a pound yesterday! They are virtually being given away!

Anyways three of them are Disney Pixar movies. We've seen two last night, Wall E and Monsters Inc. Just The Incredibles to go.

We've seen them all afore. These are for Junior in a holiday house coming up soon. We tested the quality. Thats our excuse anyway!

Wall E struck me as an updated ET for a new generation, now nearly 13 years older! We loved Wall E and its message of not quite ecogeddon but nearly seems bang on now! Very clever animation and really quite charming. Would you agree?

The same can be said for Monsters Inc, now 20 years old. Inspired writing and animation, which kid couldn't resist Mike and Sully's hilarious antics?  What do you say?

Pixar seemed to have their finger on the cartoon pulse back then. Disney clearly benefitted. Are Pixar still a force to be reckoned with?
