More great info Steve ! One more tidbit is that the original issues "DID NOT" include any stickers , only the reissues had the stickers . I've almost bought the Marvel issues a couple of times but decided not to . They look more like a collectable to me and I like to open the box and build'em !  I do have the box art in my overflowing file waiting to be posted , thanks for sharing though . Do you know the Reissue Date ? And just in case some of you don't know . . . Jim Johnson is a member here (aka jeem) and recently contributed some beautiful autographed prints to our prize pool ! Here's a couple pics of the SnapDraggin '55 Nomad that never made it to production .    |

That is the first good photo of the 55 Nomad I have seen, where did you get it? I would love to have a few copies of the body.
Both Series 1 & 2 are copyrighted 1998
Series 3 is copyrighted 2000
The Marvel (4th) series is copyrighted 2004
Re-issued Willys Gassers Stone, Woods, and Cook and Ohio George are copyrighted 2012
When I get some more time, I'll put up some Info on the re-released Stone, Woods, and Cook and Ohio George versions

O-Kee-Doke, here we go. In 2012, Polar Lights released I guess what you could call Series 5, except they only released two kits in this series in much thinner box material than the originals. It appears by the kits I have that the molds for these are no worse for wear as the parts are still nice and crisp unlike what happens over time when kits get over pop'd and the molds wear out. Don't know production numbers but I would guess with 5 issues for these two combined would be under 50,000 pieces total. Kit # POL890/12 is the standard Willy Wild molded in the 1st release Blower Blue. It comes with two windows molded in either Clear or a Purplish Blue and has some really nice water slide decals for the Ohio George gasser. If I ever build this kit I'll probably use the clear window and smoke it.   Kit # POL891/12 is the standard Willy Fast molded in the 1st release Midnight Blue. It comes with two windows molded in either Clear or Blue and has some really nice water slide decals for the Stone, Woods & Cook gasser.   |
