Cooey's Toy Box

Corgi Batmobile 1940s; Released in 2005

I picked up some small robots from popular Japanese mecha animes Macross and Armored Trooper Votoms. The VF-1A with Fast Pack is from Macross while the chunkier powered armor is the Scopedog from Armored Trooper Votoms. Both are missing some parts but nothing a little greenstuff can't fix. More on them soon.

Tidying up and hoping to add more.

The first-generation Ford Mustang was the original pony car, manufactured by Ford Motor Company from 1964 until 1973. Several changes to the Mustang occurred at the start of the normal 1965 model year production, five months after its introduction. These cars are known as "late 65's," and were built after factory retooling in August 1964. The engine lineup was changed, with a 200 cu in (3.3 L) engine that produced 120 hp (89 kW). Production of the 260 cu in (4.3 L) engine ceased when the 1964 model year ended. It was replaced with a new 200 hp (150 kW) 289 cu in (4.7 L) engine with a two-barrel carburetor as the base V8. A 225 hp (168 kW) four-barrel carbureted version was next in line, followed by the unchanged "Hi-Po" 271 hp (202 kW) 289. The DC electrical generator was replaced by a new AC alternator on all Fords (the quickest way to distinguish a 1964½ from a 1965 is to see if the alternator light on the dash says "GEN" or ...

Sandie got this for me at the Collecticon 2009. The Hot Wheels blister card says " 2006 Hot Wheels Classics #20 " and identifies the model as Shelby Cobra 427 S/C. The model is in Spectraflame Blue with orange & black stripes on top and an encircled "68" on the hood & sides. The model has black interiors and an unpainted Thailand Base. The AC Cobra was a British built and designed sports car that was produced during the 1960s. By 1963 the leaf-spring Cobra was losing its supremacy in racing. A new chassis was developed and designated Mark III.The new car was designed in cooperation with Ford in Detroit. A new chassis was built using 4" main chassis tubes (up from 3") and coil spring suspension all around. The new car also had wide fenders and a larger radiator opening. It was powered by the "side oiler" Ford 427 engine (7.0 L) rated at 425 bhp (317 kW), which provided a top speed of 163 mph (262 km/h) i...

Sometimes I get lucky. I was at the mall this morning, just killing time. I wasn't hunting for anything. No toy. No shoes. No stuff. Just planned to walk around. So I walk in Toys R Us. Checked out the G.I. Joes first. Then moved to the Lego section. Then to the boardgames. Nonchalantly walked up to the diecast cars section. Then Kaboom.There, hanging on a peg was this. A Shelby Collectibles '66 Shelby GT350 ! I rummaged thru the other items on the pegs and found only two of these babies there. I inadvertently dropped one so I bent to pick it up. Something on the bottommost peg caught my eye. The peg was loaded with Volkswagens but there was something different at the farthest, innermost length of the peg. A Johnny Lightning '65 Ford Mustang was peeking behind an array of VDubs and Maisto Fresh Pairs! Some one must've hid it behind some other brands, planning to come back for it. Maybe he had exceeded his budget. Maybe he was at the ATM making a ...

Giddyap!!! And the wild horses keep on coming! This one is the Hot Wheels 2007 New Models #4; Pearl White with blue stripe on the sides, Chrome Malaysia Base and with OH5SP's. Ford put a lot of effort into the 1969 Mustang. The Mustang was significantly restyled, but it was still pure Mustang. It was longer, lower, meaner and sleeker. Every dimension increased with the exception of wheel base, which remained at 108 inches. All Mustangs were lowered 0.5 inch on the suspension and the windshield rake was increased by 2.2 degrees. This translated to about a 150-175 pound weight increase, depending on the model. The biggest visual changes was the front grille opening. Larger and decidedly more aggressive, it was the only year in Mustang's history that four headlights were used. The restyle looked particularly effective on the Mustang fastback model, now called the SportsRoof. The roof line on the SportsRoof was lowered by 0.9 inch and the side sculpturing was elim...
