#517 Plásticos De Albacete - Citroën Visa As Well As Renault Fuego (Around 1986)

Plásticos de Albacete (short PA) is some other real pocket-size Castilian fellowship that produced toys inwards the 80s, I accept works life no data at all inwards the internet, in addition to therefore I gauge that the fellowship produced toys exclusively for a few years, in addition to likely afterwards in addition to earlier produced other types of plastic goods. Maybe the fellowship operated amongst other name, although this seems improbable, since it is real hard to honor a less commercial build than "Plásticos de Albacete" (“Plastics from Albacete”, which is a metropolis inwards fundamental Spain).

The exclusively toys known are a few dissimilar serial (=different scales) of plastic cars amongst friction motor.

In this series, the scale is unopen to 1:32. There were exclusively a few models made: a Renault Fuego, a Citroën Visa, a Fiat/Seat Panda in addition to a Simca/Talbot Horizon. These cars were made is several brilliant colours: red, blue, yellow, white in addition to green.

Other serial include cars inwards bigger scale in addition to amend quality. Another serial inwards unopen to 1:20 reproduced several cars similar the Renault 5, the Fiat/Seat 600, the Fiat/Seat 850 or the Fiat/Seat 127... All were real pop cars earlier the 90s. These were made of i slice of plastic, but before, perchance inwards the terminal 70s, at that spot were some other serial made amongst much to a greater extent than quality, including cars similar the Ford Fiesta, the Fiat/Seat 124 or the Chrysler 150.

The intermediate scale serial was real similar to other serial made yesteryear Fundiplast, similar for instance the Renault five shown in #237.

PA e'er reproduced pop cars that were sold inwards Kingdom of Spain those years, some amongst dainty "fire brigade", "police", "ambulance" or other attractive decorations.

 

There were at to the lowest degree 2 issues of these cars. The older of these 2 included plastic hubcaps (a dissever piece, glued to the wheel), spell inwards older versions, the wheels had a novel sort inwards which the hubcap was only carved on them. Here's a pic for comparison: the yellowish model is i toy a buy the farm along from my childhood days, in addition to which originally had winshield in addition to windows. The bluish model was bought inwards a flea marketplace inwards Austria. I gauge it had a neat history to country if it could talk, almost how it crossed one-half Europe.

In the terminal picture, yous tin john come across i of the cardboard showcases amongst all iv models in addition to inwards all iv colours.

#522 Dino Riders - Pterodactyl Alongside Llahd (1988)

The Pterodactyl is the smallest dinosaur inwards the laid about moving ridge of Dino-Riders, it is slightly smaller than the Ankylosaurus, together with non articulated, although both boxes were the same size. Maybe intentional, or not, is that the dinosaur comes amongst a figure that represents a kid instead of a man, to a greater extent than or less ane caput shorter together with amongst thinner extremities.

The flight sauria is made of the same plastic equally other dinosaurs, but beingness then sparse inwards the wingsm, neck, paws together with then on, the plastic is a chip flexible. This flexibility is lost amongst the fourth dimension if the dinosaur was conserved inwards harsh weather of oestrus or low-cal exposure. In many cases, the Pterodactyl is missing ane of its paws or some of its legs. They were only broken spell playing, perchance many children idea the plastic was momre flexible than it truly was.

The harness is quite simple: it consists of a delta fly harness gibe to the dinosaur amongst a peg that had to live inserted inwards the dinosaur´s belly. The peg is besides frail together with could live broken inwards used toys. But fifty-fifty to a greater extent than frail are the 2 tiny missiles that attach to the harness tubes together with that, inwards some cases are "stretched" together with their handgrip create non gibe whatever to a greater extent than the tubes rattling well, making the missiles somehow "loose".  In other cases, the missiles are only lost. So easily lost together with fragile, are quite hard to find, perchance ane of the most hard parts to detect inwards the entire laid about wave.

The harness create non attach rattling firmly to the dinosaur, perchance that´s why Tyco decided to include a smaller, lighter figure instead of the ordinary, big ones. Interesting, notwithstanding is that the 2 handles to gibe the figure to the handgrip bar are designed to live used past times a big figure.

There is a variant of this toy inwards which the figure included is non the child-Llahd, but an adult-Llahd, a figure amongst a unlike cast, but similar colours. The adult-Llahd version is considered to live rarer than the child-Llahd version. I convey both, bone yous tin compare both inwards the side past times side pictures.

We convey unintendedly used the discussion dinosaur for the Pterodactyl, but technically it is no dinosaur, but a flight sauria. I e'er similar to brand this clear when I write almost "dinosaurs" that are non "real dinosaurs".

#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.

#593 Dino Riders - Deinonychus Alongside Heaven (1988)

This dinosaur is the American blood brother of the Velociraptor: slightly bigger, only really similar to the Asian dinosaur, together with likewise a few i one one thousand thousand of years older, together with thence less evolved. The toy withal is the close oversized inwards the whole series: the existent dinosaur was iii meter long, only alone to a greater extent than or less 1 or 1,5 meter high, together with so the humans/Valorians are (or should be) higher than the dinosaur. If the scale of the figure together with the dinosaur were the same, the dinosaur would live to a greater extent than or less iii or four meters high.

If nosotros ignore this accuracy detail, the toy is great, since the dinosaur tin live concur really comfortably from the tail, the caput sculpt is peachy amongst all those teeth, together with its activity characteristic is likewise peachy to play with. When pushing the clitoris over the tail, the dinosaur moves its legs equally if it was running. The forepart legs are likewise articulated.

In the kickoff wave, at that spot were ii deynonichus released, i for the valorians, together with some other i for the rulons. As usual, the Rulon Deinonychus was armoured heavier that the Rulon one, only the dinosuars were identical except for the coloring of the plastic/paintwork. The Valorian dinosaur is much darker than the Rulon one.

The Valorian armour comprises a saddle amongst ii side cannons/guns, together with that´s it. Although the box was middle-sized, the contents were rather meager. Dinosaur, 1 slice armour, 1 figure together with 1 weapons set. The figure is Sky, a graphic symbol amongst i of the 2 classic "wave 1" casts: amongst nighttime bluish trousers amongst braces, together with bluish shirt, i of the darkest coloring combinations inwards a Valorian figure e'er (they tend to wearable low-cal colours, piece Rulons commonly wearable darker outfits). The figure came amongst a accesory tree "grey 1", equally all the other Valorians from moving ridge 1.

#604 Rico / Tonka - Hot Rod (Around 1977)

Tonka is some other bang-up toy companionship from the U.S.A. They were founded inwards the 40s and, fifty-fifty today, the mention is all the same beingness used yesteryear electrical current toy manufacturers. The master companionship does non be anymore, though. As it commonly happen, the master companionship did non manufcature toys at the fourth dimension of its foundation, only at some squall for they saw some bussiness there, as well as changed the production to toys.

Mound Metalcraft was founded inwards 1946 inwards Mound, Minnesota, amongst the intention of making as well as selling garden appliances. Their commencement products were 2 tie-rack models. The founders were: Lynn Everett Baker, Avery F. Crounse, as well as Alvin F. Tesch. At some squall for inwards 1947, they stance it would live a skilful stance to include a few toys inwards their portfolio, as well as manufactured the commencement Tonka trucks. By then, the companionship already had a novel logo as well as a novel name: Tonka, a variation of the Dakota Sioux give-and-take for "big" or "great".

Taken from underconsideration.com

Toys became the principal source of incomes for the company, thus inwards 1955 Mound Metalcraft changed its mention to Tonka Toys. During that commencement year, 37,000 metallic trucks were manufactured, counting 2 models: a steam shovel as well as a crane.

Like every other companionship those years, they to a greater extent than oftentimes than non used metallic parts, that were afterwards replaced amongst plastic parts from the belatedly 70s on. The toys are characterized for beingness really sturdy.

The companionship Tonka bought Kenner Parker inwards 1987 as well as was afterwards acquired yesteryear Hasbro inwards 1991. Currently, the Tonka construct is belongings of Maisto, that has a trouble of 1:64 trucks sold nether this brand/series.

Information upwardly to this point: to a greater extent than oftentimes than non Wikipedia

But since I am from Spain, as well as this weblog deals amongst many Castilian toys, my involvement to Tonka is related to the licenses Tonka gave to other toy manufacturers closed to the world. In the detail illustration of Spain, it was Rico that manufactured many Tonka-licensed toys for the Castilian market. Toys are recognisable because Tonka ever gave to its toys an unique, sturdy, bulky look.

One of the close famous lines dorsum as well as thus was the "Sansón" trucks (Engl. Samson, similar the Biblical graphic symbol of enormous strength) That I would similar to comment inwards this weblog soon. Other serial was "Diablos", as well as I am certain at that spot were some to a greater extent than serial available.

The Hot Rod shown inwards this entry is non a genuine Tonka, complaint that the construct TONKA is marked inwards the safe tyres as well as the front end grill, only this car is truly a Rico product, manufactured amongst the master casts yesteryear Tonka. It was sold nether the trouble "Autos Locos", which roughly translates equally "Crazy Cars". The mention is likely non randomly chosen, since the TV serial "Wacky Races" was likewise dubbed to Castilian equally "Autos Locos", thus perhaps this mention was appealing to the audience of the TV show.

I must tell I convey seen this trouble for the commencement fourth dimension today, thus straightaway I am thinking that the "Old Cars" yesteryear Playtoy mightiness be an endeavour to re-create this detail Rico series. Note that the reference 503 of the "Old Cars" is really similar to this model presented here.

FACTS AND FIGURES:

• Name: HOT ROD ("AUTOS LOCOS")
• Scale: Maybe 1:24
• Year: Around 1977
• Company: Rico (Spain) / Tonka (U.S.A.)
• Size: approx. 12 cm

#854 Dino Riders – Diplodocus Alongside Questar, Mind-Zei Too Aries (1988)

The Diplodocus is i of the biggest dinosaurs on the starting fourth dimension wave. Tyco promoted this toyline proverb the dinosaurs were realistically made inwards the right scale, but I truly dubiety it. The Triceratops or the Torosaurus are (quite) equally large equally the Diplodocus, as well as compared amongst the Deynonichus or the flying sauria, I would country something is non fitting.

No affair what, the Diplodocus was presented equally the mo biggest dinosaur of moving ridge 1 (only the T-Rex was bigger), as well as the biggest dinosaur of the Valorians, the i that came amongst Questar, the heroic leader as well as Mind-Zei, the elderberry as well as wise Valorian. There was a tertiary figure included, named Aries (this graphic symbol did non bring whatsoever elaborated background inwards the cartoons). Besides this dinosaur, exclusively the T-Rex as well as the Brontosaurus came amongst 3 figures.

The Diplodocus had walking constituent as well as also moved the cervix from side to side. It was operated yesteryear i battery located at the tummy of the dinosaur.

The armour is i of the almost impressive ones, amongst 2 huge compartments at the sides, each of them opening amongst half dozen doors that divulge a large publish of cannons as well as i controller spot where 1 figure tin plough over the axe spot or stand. There is a airplane pilot cabin behind the neck, which is articulated, but afterwards only about usage, it does non stand upwards anymore inwards whatsoever spot yous like, as well as the cabin does non closed equally it should. There is house for i figure there. Remember that the valorians tin plough over the axe communicate telepathically amongst the dinosaurs yesteryear using the AMP, as well as thence at that spot is no request for controls other than for the cannons as well as weaponry.

Finally, at that spot are 4 to a greater extent than accesories, 2 of them are placed on the cervix of dinosaur as well as 2 to a greater extent than on the tail, as well as inwards my opinion, these are swell add-ons! The dinosaur looks pretty amazing amongst them.

As green the figures included i rack of accesories, inwards this representative the grayness ones corresponding to the starting fourth dimension wave. Three figures, iii sets.
