It's a beautiful day for a race here in showery Portland Oregon. We are here for the first annual running of the Monster 5000! Contestants - on your marks:
Really great! (Reminds me: I wish my parents hadn't thrown away all my Rat Fink stuff from the '60s. I had quite a few of the RF car models.)
D'oh - I forgot to put in my Rat Fink bank with him in the car...... damn. Looks like there will be another race once the rain stops here. Count - you got the good eye - Both the Pink and the Orange - Clear vinyl.... they actually smalle like an old thingmaker machine for you creaky guys out there that know what thet is......
COOL stuff! Not trying to hijack your thread Dr.T! Just sharing in on the fun theme as I took these pics recently!
All the Mad Frankeys look awesome together like that. I want to get both of the Black/GID sets and take them apart and make a whole GID Mad Franky so bad!!!!! If I could just find someone as insane about all black pieces as I'm insane about GID to go in halves with me...
Paul - cool Brother Rat Fink. Is that the original or the reissue fro mthe late 90's. Was one rare kit at some time! Always loved it. Geo - the rat fink Bank is just the plain old Funko onw with him sitting in a Hot Rod. Creevox - I will do it ans send you a pic but I will switch them back as soon as I do. LMK. Damn things glow like MAD!! A Mad Frankie!!! Thanks for all the nice comments. It was the last batch of stuff I got before I took a spill and the dog got sick. I am going to post some of the other stuff soon.
Actually Dr. T, "Brother Rat Fink on a bike" was never reissued. Roth didn't like it. Revell destroyed the molds. The one I had built was an original. I bought 2 (for $15 each!) back in the 80's. I built one, well, started one,it sat in a shoebox for 23 years, and finished it last year. The other one remains in the box. I was lucky enough to get Big Daddy to autograph it for me befre he passed.
Wow Paul I could of sworm I had reissues in he store in the late 90's........ they reissued everything then. Well maybe I am thinking of Angel Fink or Scuzz Fink then..... brain ain't what it use to be. I just remember the box of RF on the bike and BD on the cover in the corner - white box?
Yes, that's it Dr. With BD on a Bulltaco bike. I've searched online and can't find any refrence to this reissue. Strange.
Paul, don't think the molds were destroyed til at least after 1971 as it was reissued then in the Freaky Rider Series Revell released then. Those were really bad painted versions on the boxes that made no mention of BD and the Drat Nut has the mini Rat Fink with it and he is referred to as Road Freak! The Brother rat Fink was released as Sleazy Rider.
Screw trying to figure out wether Brother Rat fink was reissued or not - lookie what I found trying to find info. This shit is insane!!! http://www.finkosel.homestead.com/files/index.htm
