Jada #33832 1/32 Scale Fred Flintstone & Flintmobile (2024)

This diecast Flintmobile is a recent acquisition and a cool addition to the Flintmobile collection. Made by Jada in 2024, the set features a 40mm diecast Fred along with his diecast Flintmobile. The car measures 3" (7,62cm) L x 2.25" (5,71cm) W x 2.5" (6,35cm) H.

Try as I might, trying to get the lettering under the car was a bear/

Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 74 Set #93040 (2009) Battle Hardened Soldiers (UK 7th Armored Division) Pt 1 Packaging and Contents

To the best of my knowledge this was only available as set #93040, not 83040. As a matter-of-fact, the last nine sets we'll be looking at in this l-o-n-g series of FOV figures, all start with '9' and I am unaware of corresponding sets that begin with '8'.

In addition, while sets starting with the number '9' were normally packaged in the lighter olive green color, this one is clearly in a darker box! However, this set is dated 2009 - the later stages of FOV's production - and the box art on this is a whole new design with the box outer sleeve being plastic or cardboard heavily coated with plastic, while the insert is cardboard. I'm going to call this a 'Series 3' box.

You'll notice that this set is labeled "BATTLE HARDENED SOLDIERS" only, with no reference at all to a specific British unit. I used the '7th Armored Division' designation in the blog title simply because all of the other British sets in the FOV line were labeled such - this was the only one which wasn't! It appears that any set in the FOV line that was labeled "BATTLE HARDENED SOLDIERS", did not specify a particular unit. Another packaging-related 'Why?'.

This was a recent acquisition to help flesh out the collection and I know there's more out there I could potentially buy, but that takes money I don't have. As funds become available, and I see something that begs to be blogged I'll buy it and post it here.
