Supersize the Banana Splits buggy!

It might be obscure to reissue?

Oh, no! I think I know of three other people in the United States who might want that one.:p

Banana Splits?! Nah! But Hair Bear... That's a real money maker, there! :thumbsup: :p

Yeah! Irank it up there with the H R Puffnstuff kits I've always wanted!!:p

Chris.:)

I almost hate to step into this one......I am the second guy that would like to have that Banana Splits kit. And I really WOULD like to see HR Puff 'n' stuff kits too. I'm getting off stage now cause I can sense a few tomatoes coming my way.

They would fit in with the Land of the Lost styrene kits I am waiting for!!

Well,we can't say it wouldn't be fun to have,but unless Moebius get's filthy rich and just wants to lose some money issuing it,the chances are slim that it would ever be issued again.

Wouldn't these look more realistic modeled in Play-Doh? :D

It could be a dual-use mold. If Moebius were to obtain the Space: 1999 license, he'd have a tool for the Alpha moonbuggy. The Andersons used the same model buggy that Hanna-Barbera did. You'd just have to keep the Splits themselves on a separate tree.

I want Lancelot Link on a go-cart.

yeah! That is right up my alley too!

i'd love it, but i doubt it would sell enough to justify the license and production costs.

oh, you mean kinda like tom lowe did years ago?
(just being sarky here, sorry. i actually agree with you, but i couldnt help but see a paralell)

Banana Spilts buggy with the Splits, H.R. Puff'n'stuuf, Witchiepoo and her broom stick, and some of the characters from Liddsville. I want kits of all of those.

Archie's Jalopy...

I've been wanting a B. Buggy for years and the Archie's car would be cool too. Best yet I could buy them for the kids who know who the Banana Splits and Archies are thanks to Cartoon and Boomerang channel.

And then the Silent Running Buggy.

Well, they did come out with those Wacky Races cars a few times.

Wacky Races
Witchiepoo and H. R. Pufnstuf
Land of the Lost
Banana Splits
Archie's Jalopy
Speed Buggy

Man, I'd pre-order all of these so fast. I don't see why we can't have cartoon characters as model kits. Adults are the one who build models now, and some of us have a nostalgia factor added in for the above subjects. I don't know how well the Mystery Machine sold for PL but sure bought a few myself.

And if there is one subject I'd really like to see as a styrene kit, it would be a dragon.

Yes, indeedy - two of my most favorite kits of my entire childhood. I was saving my pennies to send away for them from the offer on the back of the Clackers cereal box, then discovered by the time I had the necessary coin, the offer had expired.:cry:

Mom saved the day - she took me to the local hobby shop and we bought them outright.:)

YES! WACKY RACES! :thumbsup:

I would LOVE to get the Banana Splits buggy!! Heck I'd buy all four
to have them all driving!! I'd buy these say than the Captain Action model!

Supersize the Banana Splits buggy!

Obscure? Slightly. Jimmy made me throwup in my mouth, a little.

How about the flintstones car?

They're still on TV? Then they're not as obscure as I thought.

How about the flintstones car?

One company issued a couple of the Flintstone cars when the John Goodman movie was released. I have both of them. AMT put some Flintstones model kits out originally way back. Would like to see those again also.

...and why ISN'T there a styrene dragon kit?

Oh yeah....the stones kits are really cool. I have 2 of 'em (Fred on the Dino and also I have the sports car). The later Flintstones kits were not as good but those early AMT kits are WAY cool. Wacky Races are worth mentioning too. It's really good stuff. I mentioned in another "wish thread" the Road Runner kits from MPC would be cool for Tom to do. I have been tempted to buy the resin Banana Buggy over the years. I think that thing is still available? I will put it to you this way, If Moebius can justify doing a run of a kit like 1000 Captain Actions then I can see some other quirky stuff happening too.

Archie's Jalopy...

Didn't Mattel release a kit in the late 70s?

Aurora released it as Archies car in '69. It was 1/25 scale and came with figures of Archie, Veronica, and Hot Dog.

Chris.:)

Since the Archie comic is more well known,the release of that car makes more sense.But was Aurora's kit good enough.:confused:

It was OK when you consider it was a cartoon car. It would be cool to see it again.

Chris.

The Banana Splits Buggy would be great but H.R Pufnstuff was just.........creepy!

The hippy trees wearing sunglasses were cool from that show. So were the mean trees.

Quite frankly, any model company would lose their butt coming out with such a limited fanbase model. 100 grand minimum for molds? Uh uh and dream on.

I'm sorry but a Hanna Barbara item over Captain Action? Come on!
The BBuggy is way more desirable than the Aurora Captain Action model
Wacky Races Cars would be great also!!

I would also buy them all!!!

i loved the colored chrome that these kis were plated in

give that man a cigar! therein lies the problem with all of these kits. (actually from what i understand, that 100 g figure is somewhat high, but its certainly in the ballpark.) now consider that the manufacturer only sees a small fraction of the retail price of the kit, and those molds have to be amortized over each kit sold, and you begin to get an idea of just how many kits need to sell for a design to be profitable.

Yep.

Ahhh yes, nightgallerykits. I knew I saw this somewhere before. Thanks again TAY666

Ah,I would buy the bannana splits buggie, archies car,& wacky racers if they were reisued,No problemo.I always thought they were cool

Isn't the Banana Buggy not only the same as the one from Space: 1999 but wasn't it what Bruce Dern was wheeling around in in Silent Running ?

yep. i have forgotten what that brand of ATV was called. they were quite popular (with fimm production companies anyway) in the late 60's early 70s. didnt see too many of them in real life.

AmphiCat.

Oh yes.The Silent Running spaceship.This is one baby that would be a great reissue.:thumbsup:

Reissue? I didn't think any styrene kit maker issued it at all?

Im with Duck Fink :woohoo:

AmphiCat.
bingo! (not the oranguatan)
the segway of its era!

The amphicat was used in the Banana Splits and Space 1999, but I seem to remember the buggy from Silent Running being a 4 wheeler.

Jim

If this ever does get reissued, I'd either like 4 vehicles included, or sell 4 versions, one of each character. I would like them to each sit in their own buggy. Don't know if either would be feasible though.
