No, I really shouldn’t covet Darda wind up toy cars. But they are so cute, and they do look like fun.

No, I really shouldn’t covet Darda wind up toy cars. But they are so cute, and they do look like fun. via Jalopnik Link to this post! ![]() This could be the best pedal car ever!, originally uploaded by spinneyhead. In the unlikely event that I have children I’d like them to have one of these. And a Land Rover one, and a hot rod style gravity racer a la American Hot Rod. Link to this post! Toys inspired by evolution and Charles Darwin. Forget about buying it for a kid, I think I want the Giant Timeline floor mat. Link to this post! I never had a Total Control Racing set, but I knew someone who did. Supposed to be an improvement on Scalextric, TCR allowed drivers to switch lanes by flipping a switch on their controller. No explanation is given on the wikipedia page on how they did this, but I think only one rear wheel was being driven at a time, forcing the car over to the opposite wall. TCR disappeared quite quickly, compared to good old Scalextric, which seems to have been around for ever. Link to this post! Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles recently held a show of work inspired by old school toys and featuring forty customised Hot Wheels vans to celebrate the brand’s fortieth birthday. A lot of the art can be seen here. Technorati tag: Scale Models Link to this post! Every kid should have their own battery powered, joystick controlled mini Alvis Stalwart. Link to this post! I’m hooked on the HobbyLink Japan RSS feeds, lusting after stuff I should never order. Today’s item of desire is the 1:6th scale Bruce Lee. ![]() Only 16,800 Yen (about 70 quid), plus shipping. I could stand him next to the Bruce Lee 30th Anniversary Commemorative Box set. Link to this post! |
