#752 Puntax - Topographic Point 600 (Around 1970)

This overnice Seat 600 has a plastic pencil sharpener inside.

As a kid, this was the exclusively Seat 600 I had inwards this scale. No fellowship made the die-cast model inwards 1:64 scale, what inwards my opinion, was a consummate marketing error. It would accept been the best selling model amidst all "Made inwards Spain" iii inches die-cast. You could purchase a 600 inwards 1:43 scale (see for event #293), precisely this bigger size sells much less. At to the lowest degree dorsum then.

The auto was available inwards several colours as well as I hollo back having had a reddish i as well as or hence other bluish one. Being made of plastic, they were (are) really fragile. Anytime they are stepped over, they suspension as well as could live straight dispossed of.

The bluish auto inwards the pictures was constitute much later, a few years ago. Despite its practiced overall cast is likewise broken inwards the base. The construct Puntax should live there, where the missing role is.
The cast has or hence limitations, precisely it has overnice details: windshields, painted headlights as well as casted base.
I cannot plow over an exact twelvemonth of manufacture, precisely I volition seek to construct an approximation. I had a few inwards the mid 80s, precisely other people I know had the same model earlier… I would tell the toy could accept been made from 1970 on… peradventure until the belatedly 80s. The box inwards which they were sold has a trend which is really much from the belatedly 60s, but, since they were made inwards Spain, they could belike live from the early on 70s.

The side yesteryear side 2 pictures are from todocoleccion.net. Note likewise the 4 colours available as well as the variations, trunk coloring + interior coloring (the interior is genuinely the pencil sharpener). The base of operations coloring could likewise vary, beingness the virtually mutual lite blue, grayness as well as nighttime grey.

FACTS AND FIGURES:

• Name: SEAT 600 SACAPUNTAS/ PENCIL SHARPENER
• Scale: Around 1:64
• Year: Around 1970

#753 Reckoner Force/ Reckoner Warriors – Pc Board Amongst Romm (1989)

I am fascinated yesteryear this novel discovery. I completely ignored the being of this toyline of pocket-size figures (they are the size of a Dino Riders or a M.A.S.K. figure), until I flora 1 unit of measurement carded for sale on eBay. I bidded in addition to won this prissy carte du jour for real footling money.

The persuasion behind Computer Force is that at that spot is an regular army of footling hi-tech soldiers hidden inwards everyday objects similar a tin of Pepsi, an warning clock or similar inwards my case, a pc motherboard. Objects plough from their stealth cast to laid upward on cast real easily, simply similar M.A.S.K. vehicles, an behave the figures which are included amongst each set.

I produce non know much virtually the series. The pc motherboard comes amongst ROMM, who, according to the description, is the heroic leader of the Computer Force. So, if this guy is the heroic leader, at that spot is for certain around other faction of bad guys to fight. The figure is peachy in addition to is decorated inwards a real unlike means on its back. Note that the motherboard transforms into around form of delta wing, or low-cal plane, on transcend of which, the figure sits. In stealth form, the figure lies on transcend of the board, in addition to similar a chamaleon, it is hidden cheers to its camo designing on the back, consisting of electronic parts over a golden circuit board.

I’d dear to thin to a greater extent than virtually this series. On the backcard we read that inwards 1989 solely a few toys were available, since the pencil sharpener in addition to the Pepsi Cola tin would live available „later“, inwards 1990. Interestingly, the starting fourth dimension playsets appear to live all related to computers in addition to electronic, piece the pencil sharpener in addition to the can... non much. At around request the toyline’s cite was changed from „Computer Force“ to „Computer Warriors“, perhaps due to legal issues.

The toy has been distributed amongst a unmarried carte du jour for all European markets, in addition to it comes inwards vi languages. As yous tin come across it is a Mattel toy... or not. Actually it was made inwards mainland People's Republic of China yesteryear around other company, named Young Kowng Plastic Factory inwards mainland People's Republic of China FOR Mattel. Surely non the starting fourth dimension illustration of a toyline made yesteryear a pocket-size society for a large one.

The business was non then curt every bit I expected, at that spot were a dozen of playsets made, each amongst 1 figure, except the Personal Computer superplayset that came amongst 2 figures. This motherboard is the smallest in addition to cheapest toy yous could purchase from this toyline, together amongst other iii to a greater extent than similar pc boards. The residual were bigger playsets, all of them were made to a greater extent than or less inwards 1:1 scale to reality, I mean, the flashlight is the size of a existent flashlight, the Pepsi tin is the size of an actual can, in addition to then on.
Another matter I dear virtually this serial are the names of the figures: Romm, Chip, Cursor, Debug, Minus, Asynk, Null... all concepts taken from estimator science.

If yous desire to come across film of all the other playsets in addition to figures, delight watch this interesting webpage: http://www.parrygamepreserve.com/toys/computerWarriors/

#755 Masters Of The Universe - Mosquitor In Addition To Ninjor (1987)

I took some pictures inward the dark, trying to larn some foreign nighttime effect, simply I couldn't. The pictures are quite bad, sorry.

Mosquitor was the "last" figure I got inward the 80s, together alongside Scareglow, together with thence it is ane of my favorites together with mayeb the ane I worry most about. I tin retrieve where my grandparents did purchase it for me. While collecting the residue of the figures inward the 2000s, I got a instant Mosquitor inward perfect shape, whitouth that scratch inward the eye, however, I kept my onetime figure together with traded the other one. The evil energy-draining insectoid came alongside ane accesory solely (a regal gun), simply alongside ane of the best activeness features inward the whole toyline. Many collectors concur on this, at least, when I used to participate inward message boards, nosotros discussed this many times.

Ninjor came alongside a fabric jacket (including the caput business office together with the belt), a sword, a bow together with a nunchuck, together with despite having the classic trunk cast, the jacket somehow hides it together with makes the figure to a greater extent than attractive. The activeness characteristic is the same from Fisto together with Jitsu, solely alongside a "normal" arm, intended to live used alongside the sword or the nunchuck. The evil Ninja Warrior is ane of the concluding figures I got. In 1987 at that spot was silent a dandy involvement on ninjas, by together with large inward ninjaxplotation movies.

Many manufacturers did die-cast scale Sport Prototypes.

Especially famous inward this era was the Renault Alpine A441.

From the mid 70s to piece of cake 80s, in that place were likewise roughly famous Sport Prototypes that had their scale version, in addition to from the 90s on, it seems similar they had disappeared from the confront of the Earth. Of course of teaching they are nonetheless running (for representative the 24 hours of Le Mans), precisely the cars are non in addition to thus pop anymore, they are non inward the media, in addition to fifty-fifty well-nigh drivers are good known (many ex-F1 drivers), the contest fails to wake upward the involvement of mutual people.

Both models were discontinued inward 1969: the Lotus possibly afterwards the expire of Jim Clark inward 1968. The argue why the Cooper was too discontinued afterwards entirely ii years is too unknown to me... despite beingness as well as thence brusk for sale, it was sold 726,000 times.
