Commander Peck found his sweetheart again !

Miss Margot and Commander Peck, Raja, Portugal, 1960's

These 2 are the little version of these 2 other ones... They were the 2 Rajá astronauts who, together with the aliens, populated the elusive big plastic saucer of the same brand. Cool toys for icecream vendors, don't you think ?

Smokin' red hot tires...

Rouge ? Anyone ?

For some strange reason, in 1972, there were a bunch of the Corgi Batmobiles getting out of the production lines with red Wizzwheels tires. Production mistake ? Or just another evil plot of the Joker, who got himself a job at Firestone (yes, look it up ! the original Batmobile had 15' Firestone Wide oval tires) ? We'll never know. HAHAHAHA...
