Love this.... Are there any more?
Should be at least a dozen or more, so a really cool diorama could be made 🤗

Only 30 of this particular one? 😳
Wow, if so, yes, a very limited issue.
Now I have try and fight the urge to scratchbuild a few bumper cars, figures for them, 🤔...hmmm, all the WeirdOh
figures, make a diorama....😄😄

Now I have try and fight the urge to scratchbuild a few bumper cars, figures for them, 🤔...hmmm, all the WeirdOh figures, make a diorama....😄😄 Hmmm. That actually sounds pretty cool! I can picture some of the Frantics models driving custom bumper cars, and so on. Might be a way to sort of "mix and match" some left-over parts from (say) the Weird-Ohs series, that some of us might have around, and do something fun with those bits and pieces? On another topic: In 2019 I had done some research into this rare kit, for the "Box Art" section of these boards. I had come up with some other info some guys here might like to see, including an old magazine back issue that (board member / regular) Jim Bertges had written. car-toons.proboards.com/post/14713/thread |

Oh my Wardster- now you've gone and done it! ALL my gears are spinning wildly now! Great idea for the WeirdOh and Frantics parts boxes! Microphone stands for bumpercar power connectors with sparks flying!
Daddy head turned into a bumper car! 😳🤪🤔
Hmm.... lets see.... Drag Hag's baby buggy, with ground effect bumper surround, and the referee from Francis Foul driving.... 🤔
😊

Tons of wild looking bumper car stylings, and all just begging for some WeirdOh, Mr Gasser, a bashed up Frantic Kat or Silly Surfer, or even that Stroker dude to drive 'em! Might be a good winter project 🤔 |
