#988 FIGURAS EN ACCIÓN (F.E.A.) Nr.25 (Especial TV)

 

This issue is full of toys related to TV contests and TV programs aired on the Spanish TV from the early 60s to around 1998, plus an extensive article dealing with movies whose main character is a toy. It is, so to speak, a thematic issue, from which we already made a few in the past.

The articles deal with the following TV Programs and toys.

-El Rescate del Talismán (known in Great Britain as Knightmare) - The Board Game

-El Gran Juego de la Oca - The Board Game

-American Gladiators - Action Figures by Mattel

-PVC figures of famous TV people and characters, made by Spanish manufacturers.

-Familia Telerín, the famous TV program and some of its merchandising.

-Movies with toys in a leading role.

-Lingo - The Board Game

-Transformers vs. G.I. Joe - Only Humans

It is the longest issue up to date (with 189 pages) and it was again a lot of fun and effort to create it together with the rest of the colleagues there.

As always, it can be downloaded from their official blog for free and without any need of registration or hassle. One click, and you have it.

#987 JOAL - PEGASO VOLQUETE (Nº212) (Around 1968)

It was a long time ago since I published an entry dealing wit the 200 series by Joal, so now it’s time to show another reference, in this case, number 212.

This number corresponds to a Pegaso tipper truck, where the tipper part is located in an articulated trailer. I guess this was done to reuse the unmodified truck cast for other references.

The truck is a Pegaso Comet, beautifully casted with orange base and light brown interior. The trailer is completely orange. A typical detail in all Joal models are the license plates, in this case A-0208-M, corresponding to Alicante, the province in which this toy was made.

The truck is made in an approximate 1:64 scale and it displays nicely together with other Joal models and 3 inches cars. The 200 series by Joal has only few references, but they are all quite fine.

FACTS AND FIGURES:

• Name: PEGASO VOLQUETE
• Scale: 1:64 (approx.)
• Year: Around 1968
• Company: Joal (Spain)
• Size: Around 15 cm long
