This toy is one of 'em from that era, when Corgi would slap a sticker & plastic figure on any old vehicle in it's range,to create a quick money spinner from a popular T.V. license of the time...despite, or maybe because of that, this beaten up old thing is a charming addition to my collection, & even better is the fact it cost less than £5 in total to purchase :-D

Thank's for letting me show it off here, & hope this has brought back some happy memories for us (older) forum members here ;-)

Cheers T'shot

This one is much better than the ones that had just the name on the vehicle, because at least includes a Hulk escaping from the truck (and not driving it; I also remember some which had as drivers charas who would never drive a car).
That practise is still found nowadays; I remember to have seen a Megaman X pickup truck some years ago. It included some decals of Megaman X4 charas, but nothing else to identify it with the Maverick Hunters or Sigma.

I don't remember these. I do remember the Corgi Starsky and Hutch car as well as a Kojak one. Plus why does the Hulk have a lazy eye?

Just bad sculpting I think...well it does date from 1979, I think it adds something it's charm myself.

I've not got the Kojak one (yet),remember this one?

I got excited when I read the title, I thought you were talking about Hulk Hogan's return to wrestling with TNA. Damn it.

I think that the antique shop in my town has that 007 Lotus for sale..? If anyone really wants one of these let me know and I will go and ask for a price on it.
