My VAMP (Panther) collection

[The Baron]

I actually have an extra VAMP Mk II, but it's in pretty bad shape. Missing steering wheel and got some damage to the undercarriage. Let me know if you want it and (other than shipping, which I can't do anything about) it will be cheap......

Would you be willing to sell just the missile rack assembly? The Vamp II is the Snowcat style rack, right? I'm not happy with the missiles on my Shad custom.

I'll offer you $20 for the missile rack

sweet collection, the vamps are an extremely difficult find here in the UK

I'll offer you $20 for the missile rack

Oooh....a bidding war....me like....

[The Baron]

Wow. Thanks a lot, GP.

[Golden Puma]

I was only kidding, should have said I'll offer you $150 for the rack

Dammit, I didn't authorise any jokes! PM incoming, VD.

...stickers were very different, but I can't string myself out collecting sticker variants because then I would be looking for VAMPs from every country around the world.

Dan, I agree with you that searching for sticker variants from around the world can get pretty overwhelming at times - but luckily, with the Vamps, the sticker variations are at a minimum - and you might enjoy some of the variety that the different stickers bring to a collection.

The green Vamp was only released in 5 countries: US, Canada (sticker variation , Brazil (2 mold variations, and 2 sticker variations, but only on one of the molds), Japan (sticker variation - cool logo decal!), and India (2 mold variations, and 2 color variations - I can't remember right now if there was a sticker variation as well with the light green one - most likely - I can look later if you are interested).

The Vamp II was only released in 3 countries: US, Canada, (sticker variation), and Brazil (sticker variation)

But that is, for the most part, as nuts as it gets...

All the Stingers in Europe - no matter the country - have the exact same stickers -as does the Japanese version. Stingers were not released in South America or India, so not many to collect...

Tiger Force has 2 sticker variation in North America (US and Canada) - but the European ones are identical... (and I am pretty sure the Chinese one is the same as Europe - Again, I can check on that if you are interested).

As far as I know most of the other Vamp style vehicles are free of sticker variations (Dreadnok one, Rattler, MSV, etc...)

The Panther, of course, besides the Roll Bar variation, has 3 sticker variations: the UK painted decal, UK paper decal, and the German paper decal.

Here's an auction with the painted decal variation - great piece! I think you will be happy with it if you get it!

With sticker variation and mold variations, there are about 35 different Vamp mold vehicles for the 1980's and 1990's.

Well, off the top of my head, that's it for sticker variations - but if you do become interested in these, give me a call - I would love to talk with you about them.

(Sometimes, I wish I lived in the UK, so that I could just pick up the phone and talk to some of the guys on this forum - I bet we could have some great conversations!!! Is there a lot of talking on the phone amongst the collectors here?



Meertoh, VERY COOL Brain Buggy! Thanks so much for posting pictures!
Do you know what year it is from?

Thanks, Aire

Interesting point in the listing mentioned , I`ve a painted hood logo Vamp sat on my shelf but I have stickers on
the door frames instead of painted.
They could be under the stickers but I`m going to resist the temptation to find out.

That's a lovely collection Dan!

Here's not really another VAMP variant:



Just based on the same Lamborghini!

That is sweet!!!
