#625 Pilen Auto Inwards Chic - Spot 131 Familiar (Ref.800), Spot 131 Safari (Ref.816), Renault 4F (Ref.807), Ford Fiesta (Ref.811) As Well As Porsche 917 (Ref.803B) (1978)

Until now, I never talked close Pilen models inwards 1:64 (3 inches) scale. Pilen is amend known for 1:43 scale models, simply equally good had a brusk business of 1:64 vehicles. These were available inwards gem boxes in addition to cardboard displays to hang in addition to were generally labelled equally "Car-in-Chic". There were equally good a iii inches serial of vans in addition to trucks (scale roughly 1:55 in addition to 1:100) called "Car-in-Chic Transportes".

These few models are classic Pilen casts of pop cars from the the 80s. Some include rattling overnice decorations, in addition to these are much rarer than the criterion versions inwards evidently colours, in addition to much to a greater extent than attractive. Some models stimulate got two-coloured decorations, in addition to cracking decals: some are to a greater extent than common, similar the classic law car, simply other are quite exotic, similar the "Safari" version of the Seat 131 or a Peugeot 504 decorated equally a Taxi from Barcelona. Each model has either metallic element or plastic bases, where the models amongst metallic element bases are older than the ones amongst plastic bases. Some models stimulate got painted caput or nurture lights.

The consummate listing (see below)  includes 10 dissimilar models inwards many dissimilar decorations. The reference numbering organization is quite complicated, since many references look several times for dissimilar models. The "b", "c" in addition to fifty-fifty "d" models are non ordered yesteryear appearance, I gave those letters randomly. Some models seem to me similar "copies" of other die-cast brands. For example, the Porsche 917, Range Rover in addition to Ford Torino hold off rattling similar to Corgi Juniors' models, the Seat Ritmo in addition to the Peugeot 504 are rattling similar to Norev´s.

If you lot stimulate got a hold off at the listing models, you´ll encounter that the Porsche 917 does non actually check amongst the residual of the models. Curious conclusion to include such a race machine amid all the others.

#627 Danone – Four Coches Fuera De Serie (Die-Cast Promotional Vehicles) (1996)

This is a extremely rare set. I got it inwards 1996 yesteryear collecting yogurt lids, cannot just think how many, simply it was non easy. The vehicles were depicted inwards Yogurt 8-packs in addition to they looked actually great. I had to larn them at whatsoever cost.

So, when I received the parcel I was completely disappointed. The box came inwards this white cardboard box, in addition to inside, at that topographic point was roughly other cardboard box amongst windows in addition to the 4 models inside. The lineament of the models is low, or rather low... real badly finished, no interiors, oil edges... in addition to fifty-fifty fragile. The motorcycle model breaks easily. At the dorsum of the box, yous tin read that this is a collectable, simply non a toy.

The box is also real fragile: the cardboard is real sparse in addition to windows pause easily, because they are also actually thin. That´s why I gauge at that topographic point are non many sets similar mine out there. I ever kept it inwards the protective white cardboard box, in addition to took it out of it perhaps ii times inwards twenty years: the solar daytime I received it in addition to the solar daytime I took these pictures.

All inwards all, extremely rare collectibles, for certain appeals many die-cast collectors. The 4 cars are reproductions of Danone´s delivery cars, trucks or motorbikes from unlike years/decades.

#628 Mc Toy – Several Volkswagen Models (1987 In Addition To 1990)

Volkswagen models are ever valuable collectables, I bring met people who collected exclusively VW Beetle miniatures, as well as around other guy who collected exclusively VW Golf miniatures. To around extent, the Golf volition live the Beetle for newer generations. Since the Golf has been available since 1974, it is already amidst the best selling cars of all times.

Volkswagen 1302 (Ref. 8731) - The classic "Bug" inward nighttime blue. It is 1 of the most sought-after model yesteryear MC Toys, merely non really interesting inward my opinion, since around every die-cast manufacturer had this model inward their catalogues.

Volkswagen Baja Beetle (VW) (Reference Unknown) - One of the best models yesteryear MC Toys inward my opinion. Those wheels were rarely used yesteryear the brand, as well as it has a really overnice suspension, it is a lot of fun to play amongst it over rugged surfaces. The automobile has a fake as well as chromed motor behind amongst a really long exhaust pipe, which is sometimes broken, since it is made of plastic. The automobile was origianlly released inward yellowish amongst tampographies inward cherry as well as black, merely the automobile was likewise availabe inward other colours (not certain hither if other versions were released every bit MC Toy or Maisto).

VW Caravelle or VW NR1060 (Ref. 9007) - One of the most used casts yesteryear MC Toy as well as afterwards yesteryear Maisto. This van was redecorated as well as released inward many colours, as well as this makes the model 1 of the less interesting ones inward the whole range. In this instance it´s painted cherry as well as decorated amongst Fire Brigade tampographies.

The exclusively Volkswagen missing inward this entry is the Golf GTI from 1984 (Ref. 8446), merely I don´t bring it hither correct now. The most mutual ornament is dark amongst white or golden tampographies. The kind was reused yesteryear Sohbi, as well as you lot tin construct yourself an idea, how would this model inward dark await like: see entry #536.

#629 Unknown Manufacturer - Dinosaucers Pvc Figures (Around 1990)

 

This PVC dinosaur is a bootleg figure from the Dinosaucers series. The cartoon was never real popular, as well as in that place were never an official (licensed) business of activity figures. The exclusively vintage toy products I know were a serial of PVC figures (licensed past times Telecon  Inc 1988) as well as closed to other PVC figures past times Yolanda (monochromatic). This plastic figure is nearly completely unmarked (China is the exclusively give-and-take marked on the figure) as well as came inward a blister pack which was quite simple. Each packet included 1 torso as well as several heads (5, I think). I recall I bought 1 every bit a birthday introduce for my neighbour, thence I recall good the figure.

The toy could live purchased inward the early on nineties inward the famous inexpensive stores inward which everything costed 100 pesetas (0,60 Eur) today, these shops withal be only most products terms 1 Euro. These shops were a modest revolution dorsum then, as well as they had closed to lineament toys at the beginning, similar MC Toy scale cars or several figure bootlegs of MOTU, G.I.Joe as well as other pop lines. Later, the lineament would decrease.

I gauge the figure is older than that, since the figures e'er came subsequently to Espana than to the residue of the world. The TV demonstrate dates from 1987 (65 episodes for iv months) only also came subsequently to Spain, past times the early on nineties again. The figures were belike available before inward other parts of the world, although I convey exclusively seen as well as then on Ebay Espana or Castilian auction sites. Some Dinosaucers collectors worldwide also wrote that they got their figures inward Spain, thence it is hard to gauge on this point.

There were 2 torso casts available, each of them painted inward many unlike patterns, including closed to exotic colours. Most dinosaurs convey a base of operations color peel inward yellow/orange as well as the color of the uniform would vary, only these exotic figures convey for example majestic skin.



Second cast available. Tail did non correspond real good as well as it is real ofttimes missing, every bit inward the picture.

The heads available are non real good casted, thence it is hard to mention the dinosaurs as well as the mention of the characters that each represents. One of them is clearly "Allo", the leader of the Dinosaucers, which tin attain the axe live clearly identified because he is wearing a helmet.

Other are Styraco, Tricero, Ankylo (missing) as well as an unidentified one, which could live Stego, Bonehead, Bronto Thunder, Dimetro, Quackpot or Plesio. All these dinosaurs had similar heads.

#631 Yatming Vs. Zylmex - Lamborghini Marzal (1004 In Addition To D48) (Around 1970 In Addition To 1977)

In 1 of the latest flea markets I visited, I constitute these 2 bully minatures of the same car: the Lamborghini Marzal. They are made past times 2 Hong-Kongese companies that at the fourth dimension were non really appreciated, exactly that today are really sought-after. This is our risk to brand a quick comparison.

We should of course of teaching reckon that the cast past times Yatming is much older, as well as that Zylmex's model is genuinely a knock-off of a Matchbox's miniature, as well as thus inwards price of cast, I preffer the Yatming model, that is, at least, based on an ain design.

Interestingly, the Yatming model has a drinking glass roof, every bit it had the master copy automobile model. I don't know why Matchbox decided to allow the roof covered as well as instead leaving the nurture window open. In the master copy car, the nurture window was covered past times a serial of panels amongst that same construction that is imitated inwards Matchbox's as well as Zylmex's nurture window design.

The doors of the existent automobile were similar the ones reproduced inwards the Zylmex model,

Curiously both cars are yellow, although the Zylmex model look to live on besides available inwards green. The Yatming model is inwards bad shape, exactly yet consummate as well as Rolling properly.

#632 Madelman - Cañón Madelman (Around 1972)

Madelman is a toy business I like, merely it was over years earlier I got interested inwards toys. I never had whatever toys from this line, never played with them, as well as I convey no exceptional affection for them. In add-on to this, they are actually expensive. Being the offset as well as 1 of the real few Castilian activity figures gives it a cult-status that raises the prices from expensive to impossible.

 

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 piece ago, I got to a greater extent than or less Madelman toys from a friend of my father, who had kept them at dwelling for xxx or 35 years. There are mainly accesories as well as vehicles, an I volition hold upward showing them during the side yesteryear side months. It is hard to abide by out which sets are included, since the same accesories were oft available inwards to a greater extent than than 1 set/reference.

 

 

Here's the Artillery Cannon from Madelman. It looks actually corking as well as realistic. It came with half dozen bullets as well as ii ammo boxes, I exclusively convey the boxes, peradventure I tin abide by the bullets (even if they are repro) to consummate the set.

 

 

Very interesting is the master box with amazing illustrations. likely made yesteryear Luís/Lluis Bargalló, who worked at the fourth dimension for Exin as well as made the artwork for Madelman as well as Scalextric, with others.ç

 

 

Not much data on this entry, merely I hope to supply to Madelman soon. Last Madelman entry was seat out #15.
