Dogs enjoying a ride.

A couple of days ago I posted a pic on Facebook of dogs that ride in various diecast cars.  There are 4 in the picture and then I remembered a couple more.  One of them is "Ol Roy" in the back of this Hot Wheels replica of Sam Walton's truck that was issued in 1999.  Below is a detail shot. The standard view of the truck will be added to the Museum site a some point.  Enjoy.

Modified Chevy Race Cars

I was checking out my new Johnny Lightning Modified Chevy and decided to do a comparison picture with the old Zee Toy I had in the case.  They look good together like they just slugged it out on the track.  I didn't realize it when I bought it but the JL is an older Ertl casting. It still has the Ertl company info on the base. I didn't have the original issues, so it's nice to finally get the model. 

Toy Show 2013

I just got back from the toy show in the city and I found a few things.  There were alot of people out hunting today and the venders were selling, but for me I didn't find as much as I usually do.  But I did, and of course it was fun to hunt for it.  On a side note, my wife found 2 new citizens of Spiralton that were hiding in a cigar box at one of the vender tables. (The little red guys)
Below is a pic of the new additions to the museum.

Happy 2013, Elvis Style

I hope you all are doing well so far this year.  The museum's first picture on the facebook page was a study of French design in the 90s.  In contrast, on the this blog, I would like to start with a good ol' American over-the-top bling bling Cadillac made for Elvis.  If Elvis was a superhero this would be his "Batmobile".  It reminds me of the 60s TV Batmobile which would make since since both were designed by George Barris.
Oh by the way, this model is a Hot Wheel and was issued in 1997.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everybody.  Take care and have peace.

New Matchbox Buick

Have you seen this new Matchbox Buick Police Car yet?  I thought it was well done and looks good next to one of my favorite Johnny Lightnings models.  I'll add them both to the Museum soon.
Seeya!
