What is a Beni-Shark ?

Bibyun Beni-Shark (Crimson Shark), Eidai Grip, Japan 1976

I think this was a spaceship from zome kind of Akumaizer show... very obscure and definitely never seen or translated in Europe... Check more about this serie here.

IR to the resue !

Thunderbirds bagatelle, Louis Marx, United Kingdom, 1966

Little red ACME truck

Truck, ACME, USA, 1950's

I think this little one started as a tow-truck, but lost a part attached to the trunkbed in action somewhere... The streamlined front oozes good humor - it just seems it is smiling at you...

Multipass...

 This is still one of my favorites from Besson...

5th Element figurines, Reaction (Funko), China, 2015

New way to display rayguns ?

I have found a new use for these wooden artist hands... or so it seems !

Ahhhh ... rivets again !

Plastic Space Cruiser, England, ?

Portuguese double-decker ?

Bus, Ribeirinho, Portugal, 1950-1979

They get an "A" plus for the effort. Not easy making a brick aerodynamic in any situation. But the slanted front of the bus - nice !

Also, the addition of the little yellow driver and (one !) passenger makes this a little gem !

Tinplate colours...

Mountain Express, Modern Toys, Japan, 1960's-70's ?

Locomotive, Juguetes EGE, Spain, 1970's

(a lot of other variants exist based on the same template - making this locomotive one of the tin toys that has been copied over and over again)
