#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.

#523 Joal – Renault Ten (Ref. 104) (Around 1969)

I ever considered the miniatures from Joal to move bang-up reproductions.

In or as well as then cases, Joal copied the models from Corgi or other major manufacturers from other countries. I mean value or as well as then are equally good based inwards Mercury models. The Italian die-cast manufacturer had many reproductions of Fiat cars, which were, of course, really interesting for Castilian manufacturers, since Seat models were equal to the Fiat models.

In this case, the automobile is like to an onetime Norev model, although I cannot assure it because I cannot compare them. The character of the Joal model is rather high, considering that it was made inwards the slow 60s past times a Castilian fellowship (which had non the latest technology of that time). If you lot pay plenty attention, you'll move able to encounter or as well as then imperfections.

#524 Comics Spain – Flash Gordon Together With Terminator (1990 Together With 1992)

The Terminator figure is ane of the most interesting figures inward the whole Comics Kingdom of Spain catalogue. It does non belong to whatsoever serial of figures, it is the alone figure made from the Terminator movies. The cast is peachy together with represents Arnold Schwarzenegger equally seen inward the pic Terminator 2: Judgement Day from 1991: dark leather outfit, facial expression upwards one-half human, one-half machine together with shotgun on hand.

The figure is licensed past times Carolco, together with has a copyright from 1992. It is non rattling slow to uncovering nowadays. Being a cult carácter from a rattling famous film, it is rattling sought-after.

Flash Gordon is unopen to other carácter that does non belong to whatsoever serial inward particular, it is ane time to a greater extent than the alone figure made of him. It is hard to position at outset sight, because he seems to last wearing a unlike outfit, than the ane nosotros unremarkably encounter inward the movies or inward the comics, perchance the reference was the Revell model from 1965 shown here. The figure carries his helmet on ane manus together with has a pistol inward the other hand.

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!

I accept been thinking close dedicating 1 entire calendar month to toy bootlegs (action figures, plastic figures, die-cast…) This is simply an experiment, I this goes well, I’ll intend close repeating it, or making thematic months inward the future.

I’ll get-go amongst about Mira die-cast models from the belatedly 70s or the early on 80s that are based on Corgi Junior. If you’re a die-hard die-cast collector, yous may already live aware of this, otherwise, it volition live funny to compare the pictures. The previous entry was dedicated to four Corgi models, in addition to I did it on purpose, then I tin demo forthwith the same models yesteryear Mira (and about more).

First affair is that mira respected the names of the cars, but gave them a nicer chassis. On it at that topographic point are about casted details.

Unfortunately, Mira models tend to accept a lot of chips when they accept been used. The paintwork was non then practiced equally inward other models. All models shown inward this entry are used, but most of them are inward a relatively practiced condition…

#531 Mira Vs Matchbox – Turbo Fury, Gruesome Twosome, Stretcha Fetcha As Well As Lamborghini Countach (Ref. 119, 120, 126, 127) (Around 1981)

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!

I’ll proceed the previous entry amongst to a greater extent than Mira cars, only this time, they are based inwards Matchbox models from the Superfast era. These cars are rattling attractive, together with I empathize that Mira position its attending on these models.

Some convey already appeared inwards this blog, together with those that haven’t yet, volition seem another day.

TURBO FURY (Ref. 119)

GRUESOME TWOSOME (Ref. 120)

The Turbo-Fury does non convey the “Rolamatics” feature. One of the weak points of these cars are the suspension. The axles tend to larn upward together with the machine does non coil rattling good afterwards that. Interestingly, those Mira models were approximately of the terminal made that could hold upward opened using a screwdriver. Three of these iv cars convey screws on the chassis, then they tin flame hold upward opened together with repared inwards approximately way.

These showtime 2 models were too copied yesteryear Tin Toys (or TinToys), every bit I showed inwards entry #336.

#533 Unknown Toymaker - The Littles/ Los Diminutos Pvc Figures (Around 1985)

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!

I bought these figures a piece agone inward to a greater extent than or less flea market. I produce non scream back just when was it. When I decided to inspect them to honor out a fleck to a greater extent than almost them, I noticed that they were non marked, together with that they were non Comics Spain, because they are painted inward unlike colours and, paying fifty-fifty to a greater extent than attention, the figures are non together with then good finished. The plastic has to a greater extent than or less imperfections, together with the paintwork is non together with then accurate.

So they are definitely a Comics Kingdom of Spain bootleg, or perhaps a bootleg from other toy manufacturer, although I am non aware that these PVC figures were made anywhere else past times whatever other brand.

I scream back the TV series, which I establish quite nice. I didn´t know that, just it was a real brusk series, alongside entirely 29 episodes inward three seasons. The chapters ever ended alongside to a greater extent than or less advice to produce to a greater extent than or less crafts. This V serial was based on the books past times american autor John Peterson.

To my knowledge, the serial was never real pop (except perhaps inward Spain, French Republic together with real few other countries) together with at that spot are no (or real few) toys made of them. In Kingdom of Spain at that spot was fifty-fifty a chewing paste that included ane tatoo-sticker each. Other trade were a sticker album or a deck of cards made past times Heraclio Fournier.

From this bootleg serial I am missing Tom Little, I promise I tin give the axe honor it sometime.
