Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 69 Set #83504 (2004)-#93504 (2004) US 82nd Airborne Division (Normandy 1944) Pt 1 Packaging and Contents

Here's a set in which I have no photos of the #83504 box - just a picture from one of the flyers. However, I did buy set #93504 recently and am able to post photos of that box along with all the contents.

This is an unusual set in a couple of respects. It only contains three figures because it's loaded with accessories - not too out of the ordinary. What makes it unusual is that FOV included a couple of tarps which came with their vehicles and which usually aren't seen in figure sets. As well, instead of including the normal ruined wall sections - as in every other figure set - three bases from their individual 'personality' figures are provided: SSgt Rizzo, PFC Cooper, and PFC Reynolds. Each one of those figures were sold separately and were blogged here back in 2018.

Marx #4672 'The Flintstones' Playset (1961) - Odds n' Ends - Extra Barney's Car - Topless

Wellll, I do believe that this is the very last post about anything related to the Marx #4672 'The Flintstones' playset - until I find something else. Basically though, this marks the end of one our series that started back on 30 May. As always, if I get anything else in that relates to the set, I'll post it. 

Barney's car as provided in the Marx playset includes a roof, however, most cars offered by toy companies are sans roof - a lot easier to manufacture! I'll post some of them here.

Marx Small Plastic Hot Rod No. '75'

It's been a bit busy this week but I should be on-track with posts tomorrow. Here's the last of the Marx hot rods I'll be posting this week, the small hard plastic No. 75. These photos were taken in 2009 and I'm just now getting around to posting them. As you can see by the first photo, the No. 75 is just a bit smaller than the No. 76 friction motor version posted a couple of days ago, but I never took the dimensions and the car itself is buried out in The Cave. I believe these may have come with various Marx filling stations but my catalog references only show the friction motor version.
