Speed Racer....

Went to a toys warehouse sale recently and scored this 'Delux' Speed Racer @ a unbelievable price. Make a guess. So damn cheap that I bought not 1 but 2 sets! hahaa...Orginally selling for SGD$99, now it's only SGD$15! How cheap can it go???


Anyway, I bought it for my son. But I do hope he can keep the car intact for time to come so that I can show case it. The wonderful thing about this particular model is that it comes with this neat pull back activation mode. Once you pull back the spoiler, Lo and Behold!! All the guns, missles, what-have-you, all spring into action. Cool...

2 missle launcher can be found on the sides, one just behind the driver and last one in front, like a harpoon. The car comes equipped with sounds of missles being fired and screeching sounds. Another button when activated, gives out several phases like, "Meet you at the finish line..."

The figure is also quite posable.





Lastly, I guess this is one Good Deal. Cheap and fun to play with. And given it's size, tip to tip 15 inches, the size is appropriate.

Thanks Ms Leo! Yes, I guess this is the 'Delux' version in my own opinion.
