Only saw these the one time and grabbed all I saw. Fortunately these are all castings I collect. I've considered trying to "de-Zing" these, as much for ease of storage, but with these being so scarce I've left them alone.![]() ![]() ![]() Since all three castings date no later than the TYCO period, and disappeared after the Mattel takeover, I'm guessing these date to the mid-1990s at the lastest...which predates both JL Zingers and Muscle Machines CarToons. You can press down on the body which loads the "motor" and these go much like a pull back action. |

I don't think I would have got any of these had I seen them in stores in those days, maybe one as an example though, but it is cool that you have a number of them in the collection, I've never seen them before. |

Late reply. Never seen these. The photo of the Corvette came out especially well. Nice technique. Thumbs up. |
