If I was starting a new collection I could easily see myself getting hold of big plastic cars, especially TV related ones and probably old Spanish makes, which are just fabulous.
Anyways, as I've done before on MC, here's a random gallery of some big old TV related toy cars I've seen this year on auction on the web. Some are plastic, some tin.

Recalling Scoop's ace collection of colouring books last month, I was lamenting the fact that that Triang SpaceX/ Golden Astronaut never did one, a colouring book. I'd have loved it as a kid.
Thinking about it, there are quite a few SpaceX-style line drawings in other colouring books to probably create one!
The Man on the Moon colouring books contain quite a few - which Wotan Bill found - and I think there are more finds on the blog of SpaceX-style line drawings.
There's also new-fangled online trickery which allows you to convert pictures to line drawings. Here's a sketchy backing card one I did this morning.
If such a Triang SpaceX/ Golden Astronaut colouring book existed then it would need a cover.
Any ideas?

Passing the village of Greystoke last week as we wended across Cumbria to Keswick, I had yet to settle on my latest project.
Having decided, its to try to recreate a blog legend I first saw years ago on the cover of a Plastic Warrior Magazine, the fabled Lone Star Tarzan set, with its waving Tarzan figure.
I'll update the blog about this specific project as it swings into action.
Meanwhile here are some further sightings of vintage waving and other Tarzans hiding in the cyber jungle, all of which I would have loved as a young chimp back in the 60's!
