#710 Hasbro's Wwf - Bam Bam Bigelow, Undertaker #2 Together With Yokozuna (1994)

Bam Bam Bigelow (Scott Charles Bigelow): Bam Bam Bigelow is a figure which is evry appretiated amid collectors. It is based on the shape made for Typhoon in addition to Earthquake, only the ornament is quite amazing amongst all those tattoos inwards the arms in addition to the overnice colours used inwards his outfit, that makes it expect really different from every other figure.

Undertaker #2 (Mark William Calaway): The Undertaker has ever beingness really popular, so, equally I said inwards the previous entry, it is interesting for Hasbro to decease on it ever available. In this case, in addition to since the Undertaker has used during his whole career the same outfit (or almost) this figure is identical to #1 (series 4) except for the colouring cloth of his hair, which is darker. This figure does non stimulate got majestic oculus rims (unlike the mail-away version) in addition to to “disguise” it a niggling chip it came amongst a really overnice coat. This coat is quite hard to find, since it was removed to play amongst the figure in addition to many tore or went lost.

Yokozuna (Rodney Agatupu Anoa’i): And about other figure which had a novel shape is this Yokozuna. The shape is completely new, although the activity characteristic is quite boring, in addition to has been seen inwards many figures inwards the previous waves. I similar this fact, only I can’t retrieve having seen Yokozuna inwards action. At the fourth dimension it was i of the wrestlers who was doing to a greater extent than shows, in addition to thence it is understandable that Hasbro decided to issue it. It would hold upwardly afterwards re-released inwards a #2, that you lot tin run into inwards entry #375.

#711 Matchbox – Amx Javelin (Nº9b) (1977)

Around Matchbox collectors at that topographic point are around which are actually looking at tike differences that could live amid cars. Think that Matchbox cars were sold over 5-8 twelvemonth periods together with several 1000000 times each, together with then when the cast had around wearable it had to live replaced for around other one, which mayhap introduced around changes together with improvements.

Also when a piece of employment of pieces (both metallic element – base, body, practicable parts…- or plastic -interiors, windshields, wheels…-) was over together with a novel i had to live manufactured, it is non rare that the colours changed slightly.

Some collectors too search for differences inwards the boxes.

This has, inwards principle, no relation amongst the models that were re-released amongst “new decorations” (in a completely dissimilar colour), although (specially inwards the former days) a novel ornament commonly meant that the novel casts were frequently mounted amongst the former interiors or the former windshields (that had a dissimilar colouring than they should), resulting inwards fifty-fifty to a greater extent than variations, around of them real rare.

What I convey today are 3 versions of the AMX Javelin made betwixt 1972 together with 1977, but too available inwards other types of packs until 1982. These 3 are non the alone variants of this car. It too came amongst white, bluish interior… the purpose that covers the motor (which is too purpose of the interior together with the steering bike tin live dark or chromed), around of this variants are actually rare, around tin live establish to a greater extent than commonly.

#712 La Dibupedia De Los Lxxx (José Guerrero)

This mass is a keen compilation of TV serial which were aired inward Kingdom of Spain betwixt 1980 too 1990. Many of them were, of course, done too produced earlier 1980. For people similar me, it brings actually proficient memories. There is also a chapter dedicated to serial which were non aired on TV, simply reached us inward videotape (for representative inward video rental), too hence the mass is actually consummate too good done.

Because of the huge amount of television set series, too the curt extensión of the book, near serial are explained inward one-half page, the near of import ones pick out ii pages too the near unknown ones pick out i 3rd of page. Not much infinite to give details, simply plenty to convey yous roughly memories. You tin sack ever investigate farther inward YouTube or somewhere else.

This is non a toy book, simply the worlds of cartoons too toys are too hence related, that yous tin sack ever mean value of toys based or related to the television set serial yous are reading inward each moment.

Great book! Unfortunately, it is non available anymore, since it was a corwdfunding project. Recently a 2nd business office to it was edited, this fourth dimension amongst cartoons from the 90s! I don't pick out this mass yet, simply it is for certain really enjoyable too.

#713 Mc Toy – Bmw M1 As Well As 750Il (1984 As Well As 1987)

These 2 MC Toys models are really impressive.

On i side at that topographic point is the M1, which (I mean value I bring mentioned it before) it is i of my favorite sports cars ever. It is likewise i of the root MC Toys I e'er bought. Maybe I bring dreamt this, simply I cry upwards that it came amongst stickers… that I locomote removed. Strange, no other MC Toys model came amongst stickers. I similar the sport lines tampographed on the car, simply I mean value about other coloring would bring jibe better.

The minute model is a 750iL, a somewhat rare pick inwards 1:64 scale. I don’t know of whatever other manufacturer who released this model inwards this scale. The coloring pick is great, it fits perfectly to a high-end sedan similar this one.

#714 G.I. Joe- Artic Nail Amongst Windchill (1989)

This vehicle was released inward 1989. When I kickoff saw it, I idea it was the coolest concept for a G.I. Joe vehicle ever, only today I don’t similar it really much. Most people I know intend similarly. Where create you lot piece of job past times away amongst such an overpowered sleigh? Would it live effective every bit an onset vehicle inward the snow? The weapons included several auto guns as well as 2 missiles.

So complex every bit it seems, the vehicle is actually easy, it is basically i big piece, the harness, 2 big wheels as well as a few bits. These bits (all inward orange/yellow) bring an uncomfortable property, every bit it is, that they decolour. Most of these vehicles inward sealed box would bring the next problem: the xanthous bits decolour as well as the white trunk piece of job past times away yellow-stained. But stained inward a really ugly way. It is non that master snowfall white whatsoever more, only depending on the exposition to the xanthous parts, it powerfulness piece of job past times away actually yellow. That’s why I opened my box every bit shortly every bit I got it, to split upwards the xanthous parts inward an extra pocketbook as well as foreclose farther harm to my Artic Blast. I don’t know if the American version bring this same problem, only inward whatsoever case, all European Artic Blasts bring it.

No affair what, I ain this vehicle inward its master box and, of course, its driver Windchill. This figure is genuinely great. It cames amongst an assail rifle as well as 2 skies (these bring piddling guns at the tip of the figure toes).

The box instance is, every bit usual, splendid as well as the motion painting at the dorsum is likewise peachy amongst that gradient as well as the peachy scenery behind. Fun that the driver is exterior the vehicle.

In the 80s, the Models of Yesteryear were a nifty success worldwide, together with about of them gained high value inwards alone a few years. Many collectors wanted these, I intend because the models represented were those that they had known together with seen inwards the onetime days... currently, well-nigh of these models are extremely cheap, together with tin live on bought for five Euro or less, about fifty-fifty boxed. I recommend the article from Der Spiegel (in German) which is related to collecting die-cast miniatures

  

No thing what, Guisval produced these models hither yesteryear the halt of the 90s, when the involvement for these type of toys was at its highest.The Replica Junior serial were truly ii dissimilar ones, a Replica Junior serial alongside cars alone together with a Replica Junior Transporters, alongside vans, trucks together with buses. I introduce four of each subseries, it is tardily to decide which 1 is which. For the master copy 1:43 serial no “transport” vehicles were made.

The models I convey constitute over the years are:
