#1046 FIGURAS EN ACCIÓN (F.E.A.) Nr. 30

 

The new issue of Figuras En Acción is out and ready to be downloaded, this time we wrote in depth about Power Lords by Revell and Sectaurs by Coleco, two rather obscure toylines worth discovering. 

We also have a short article dealing with the trading cards made by Lázaro Totem depicting all kinds of monsters that can be collected in an album. The name of this collection is Monstruos Alucinantes. We already interviewed him (in the issue n. 27) and talked about a previous work of this type called Cromotropia.

And finally, another article dealing with Praise Unlimited and Rainfall, the two american toy companies specialized in christian toys. It was a challenge to find the very few bits of information on the web and putting them all together, not sure if many people will be interested in this one!

The magazine has 113 pages. Past issues were longer and included more articles, but this time we had some issues and had to leave some material for the nr. 31, which will be available next December.

You can find the download link in the official blog:

#1045 FX SCHMID – GRAND PRIX, PS AUF SCHIENEN and BUSSE (1984 and 1985)

This entry will be a lazy one, as I will only be presenting three new mini decks of cards made by FX Schmid, similar to other I have shown in the past and which have the checkered flag pattern in the cover card. The “Minis” in this entry are slightly more modern (see #857 and #858, which includes a more modern version of Grand Prix), and I also showed some big decks with the checkered pattern before (see #736).

As usual in the mini quartet decks, there are only 6 families instead of 8, and that makes 24 cards plus the cover card.

The first two were released in 1984, the last on in 1985. I like them all a lot, especially the one with buses, which is a not so common theme for a quartett game.

GRAND PRIX (No. 56510.0) from 1984

PS AUF SCHIENEN (No. 56510.0) from 1984

BUSSE (No. 50044.6) from 1985

This cover card has the copyright in it, not the other two.
