Hi everyone, I was scanning this forum and suddenly remembered how much I enjoyed car modeling as a young lad. I have a question and hopefully someone can help with this - I remember building fantasy/hotrod cars with kooky figures that were cartoonish back in the early 70's, I can't remember the manufacturer and haven't found them anywhere or any pics either. Does anyone here know what I'm referring to?

My first thought were the Rat Fink kits from Revell / Monogram also.
Some of those were re-boxed in the nineties.

Also you have the 'Weird-Ohs' from Hawk.

For available originals and reboxes for instance take a look at: Action Toys an Collectables

The must be on Ebay also.
