A Shocking Toy!

I thought this was an April fool but no, it appears to be a real toy! 

My Action Man, with gripping hands, would have run a mile!

What do you think readers? In very poor taste?

MOON PI

I've always wondered what those space chaps in the SpaceX Moon Base HQ were doing by the consoles. Well I think I have it. They were calculating the next several billion numbers of Pi!

Its a big job for big computers!

You can see how for they got here!

The record-breaking value counts 62,831,853,071,796 digits, as confirmed by project leader Thomas Keller and his team on 19 August 2021, adding 12.8 billion new digits to pi. 

What do you say to that?

HERE'S THE MING! THE TOOTSIE TOY 1793 SET

Fellow blogger Ed Berg of the USA has sent in super pics of his Tootsie Toy #1793 Flash Gordon and The Evil Ming Playset. Like Ed says, clearly the inspiration for the Spanish ship in my post GUERREROS DEL UNIVERSO: A TIM MEE TOY?

GREEN MACHINE

Reader and friend Paul V sent a link of a sale of a mint green life-size Futura. Costing a pretty penny back in 2022, see what you think? A car for your curbside?

TOWER BRIDGE AFTER MIDNIGHT

Further to your London After Midnight having related toys, there was the diecast Crescent Tower Bridge, see photo.

Back in the 1950's the model came with two little diecast paddle steamers, mine has to make do with a 1950's lead destroyer.

Has anyone else got any Crescent toys?

YONEZAWA SEA HAWK

This beautiful toy has probably been discussed on MB previously, but it’s my first encounter with it. I saw this post on Kitahara Teruhiso’s great Facebook page. Here’s a few photos and the google translation. 

What a vehicle! Do you like it?

BLOW BATS

 

I've seen a lot of batmobiles over the years but this one is new to me.

I saw it on an old auction but forgot to save the country of manufacture. It could be Argentina.

It looks like a very simple blow-moulded design in the old style of Batmobiling.

There aren't even any wheels?
