KOOL TOYZ APPARENTLY?

I found these at work today, I have seen the figures before on feebay but not the vehicles.
I suppose some of them could be worth a bit of customising or given to the kids but i don't think i will be able to fit any skystrikers on the aircraft carrier, but the base may come in handy as an outpost.
Not bad for nowt though and they are mostly still attached to the box apart from me throwing them in my truck they would still be in position.

The first pic is me doing a wheelie/ish with my truck. (No reason for it just thought it would be funny)

these are ok for customs although they are as cheaply made as anything i've seen. there is a stealth bomber set i'm looking for which is cool and i have the troop carrier. the range is quite large with helicoptors, jets and tanks. i also have the base which i'm going to list in the sales section as i only bought for some equipment and its quite large also

The liitle panhard armored car is great for customs, I've only ever managed to find 1 though.

Totally agree.... I think they've got the look of toys heading for a Watchdog Consumer 'Toys that maim small kids' TV special anytime soon! I can just see the face of little Tommy/Tabitha now: crying, wailing, possibly bleeding from the cheek...

PS: Have to also say that I loved the 'wheelie' in the truck - very amusing. I presume no bins got harmed in the making of that photo?

I don't think you are going to find the stealth bomber set as i googled kool toys and found this-
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07035.html

They are sharp as well (i found out before reading) but luckily no lead paint, So i may give the figures to the kids and the rest will either be customised at some point or binned.

Just found a couple of Chap Mei toys on Amazon. Nothing special though TBH

I love that - "Did you mean Cheap Men Plastic Toys Limited".

Now those sound like dodgy "toys" of an entirely different type!

I have this unique knack for finding innuendo. Even where non exists! I think it's called a "filthy mind"!
