.....or what were designers thinking??

How to ruin a decent casting? Apply silly graphics.
A well known problem, but the real question should be: Why the heck is it in my collection..... :duh:

I know a couple of little girls would like dragons on their cars - it is something I would probably grab just for them to enjoy when they come to see grandpa! :lol:

There is a lot of Majorettes from the turn of the millenium with silly tampos. I have seen at least Renault Clio with Octopus-like creature, MB 500SL with Vampire and Fiat Coupe with Spider.

That BMW Turbo from the 70's was briefly back in the line at that time. I remember two versions of the re-release. That and a white one with appropriate blue and red striping.

Sorry for nitpicking, but there was a yellow BMW turbo as well. :wave:

Be very careful if you try and remove them with Nail polish and a q-tip due to the fact it will ruin the doors which are plastic.
