Cómics Figuras SL (Comics Spain) Flintstones Figures (1989) - Pt 6 (Final) Betty Rubble

Betty and her pet parrot(??) Didn't know the Rubble's had a pet bird. It's interesting that sometimes objects will appear in an episode simply because they were written into the script - not because they were meant to be a permanent fixture during the run of the TV series. Maybe there was a pet bird in the Rubble house, but I wouldn't know unless I watched every episode. Do you know?

Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 24 Set #83004 (2003) - #93004 (2003) U.S. 82nd Airborne Division (Normandy 1944) Pt 2 U.S. Figure Pose 4

The fourth of five figures from sets #83004/#93004.

U.S. Pose 4

Almost all the figures have holes in their feet to accommodate the pegs sticking up from the bases. Basically it's a good system, but as this photo shows, not all of the figures fit perfectly onto the base - this figure cannot be pressed down any further without it popping off the base.

Marx DeHavilland DH 106 Comet - Yellow HP

Here's the second of the two DeHavilland Comet's I found out in The Cave. They weren't with my other airplanes but rather were in the packages containing the Marxville plastic airplane hangars.

Boley Hanna-Barbera #50352 'The Flintstones Action Playset' (1994)

This was originally posted back in 2013 but quite frankly, it was a half-assed post with the toy still in its original packaging and not taken out for a decent photo essay. Time to rectify that. We now have the toy outside of its blister pack and photographed in all its glory. It measures 5" (12,7cm) L x 3.5" (8.89cm) W x 3.5" (8,89cm) H and features a nice roll-back spring motor allowing it to zoom across the kitchen floor. I do find it a bit odd that Boley decided to put Barney in what is normally considered Fred's car, but hey, it's just a toy.

Packaging Art

One of the things about blister packs is that they often times conceal some nice artwork beneath that plastic bubble. You can't remove the plastic without also messing up some of that artwork so you end up with something like this.

After a few minutes (like an hour and a half) in Photoshop, I now have a bit of nice Flintstones artwork. Company artists who design packaging really deserve a bit more credit than we give them. This certainly isn't the greatest of mods but it's a fun look at our Stone Age Family on the move.

The Toy

Scale-wise this is one of the largest Flintstones toys that I have.
